I recommend to check the room they offer before dropping in. By default you get one in the basement with a small window positioned 0.5 m from the ground. And any drunk company will have an opportunity to look into your room. However, they have another rooms with pretty opposite quality. Beware! Also, no breakfast, but it's not a big issue in Lisboa.
