Overnight stay before leaving Lisbon. Hotel is in a great central location, in a quiet area near 2 metro stations. Contemporary decoration (dark), nice lobby, beautiful outdoor seating area with a huge waterfall (wow), and a very nicely decorated restaurant. The room decoration was sparse but I liked it very much; love minimalism! Bed was very comfortable, and the towels were luxurious. All the staff I interacted during my stay were super friendly, very professional and attentive. I gave 4 starts because there were 2 problems I noticed in the room. First, the single strip of carpet in the room and the floor didn't look clean. Secondly, 2 of the lights in the bathroom weren't working. Because both the shower and bathroom doors were black glass, I had to shower and pee in the dark. Not a deal breaker, but not expected in a 4 star hotel. Some people mentioned the very dark corridors and rooms, but I liked it. Bedroom doors from the outside are frameless, with the brass room numbers inbedded in the carpet; made me think of the movie Blade Runner. Overall I will stay there again, especially for the great staff they have.
