Lisboa 85 Suites & Apartments by Ridan Hotels

A bit noisy, it is because of metro, and if ither guests using the shower, it will make noise too

It was really close to metro. Room was very clean and as shown in the photos. Upper floors are not reachable by elevator unfortunately. Bed could have been larger.

Checked in quite late (around 11pm) - the studios need a key card to open the door which we didn't have - you need to cross the road and go right to the to the LX SOHO (a few doors down) to get a key card from reception. First night we were in 405 which was a little small and had an IKEA sofabed .... next day we were able to switch to 404 which had a nice double bed and a little more space. The apartments are very handy for the walk into town - thoroughly recommended.

I stayed for three nights in room 305 and was met with a series of issues. There was a mouldy smell, leading to a cough, and a sewage odor in the bathroom. I found a cockroach, and the door didn't close securely. The sofa bed was uncomfortable, and the noise from the boilers was unbearable. Only half the power sockets worked, and the soap holder fell during the night. Despite reporting these problems, the receptionist’s response felt insincere. I believe they were aware of the issues but chose to do nothing. Avoid this place.

The staff were awesome. Loved the buffet breakfast. 😋

Pros The location was good, the metro station is in front of the hotel and walking distance to the city centre. The staff at the sister hotel (who gave us our key and assisted with check in and check out) are very kind and frendly. The room was clean and kept this way throughout our stay. The room was ample sized for a city centre and shower hot and with strong water pressure. The bed was huge and we both had a comfortable nights sleep for the duration of our stay. The A/C worked great for heating and cooling the room. The safe was convenient and easy to use. Cons The apartment complex appeared to be under construction / unfinished. When we initially went to our room there was an overwhelming smell of must/ plaster or that the room hadn’t been aired out for a while. Thankfully by the next day this had subsided. The room was in the lower ground floor, and although we had a courtyard, there was no view from this. With our room (004) being underground and immediately outside a metro stop, I’d urge anyone who is a light sleeper to upgrade to a room on the upper floors or find an alternative location. The noise was distinctly noticeable and may be highly disruptive for some - we soon got used to this.
