161 Norte Guesthouse

Located in a good location(near tourism places) and clean room

Worst stay i have ever had. I had to drag my suitcase for 10min as the reception was in different building. Rooms were really bad and smelly.

This property is really old and although it was clean, there was a strange smell in my room I couldn’t get past. The room had no ac or heater and it felt damp/humid. My sheets always felt damp as if they hadn’t properly dried before they put them on. Aside from that; the bed was comfortable and clean, the room was clean, check in and out was easy. The location is really the selling point especially for the price.

Stayed overnight here and enjoyed the location. It is a safe place to stay and the rooms are comfortable. Right in the centre of the hustle and bustle of the old town.

Pros- excellent location (near many attractions, restaurants, taxi pick-up, etc.) -clean -excellent price for where it’s located Cons- noisy at night (primarily garbage trucks etc. at 4:00 AM as opposed to crowd noise) - strange bathroom setup. I’m a tall guy (6’2”) and it was very difficult to use the shower. I can’t even describe the strange floor to the shower (I wish I took a pic). There was like a little faucet sticking out at the bottom that I constantly banged my heel into, plus the area to stand was so small you stood over the drain blocking it (there were like different levels to the shower floor but you could only really stand on one of them, weird!) -no hangers in the closet -no real ventilation (it rained one day I was in Lisbon and my cloths were soaked. After two days hanging in my hotel room they were still wet). A small portable fan would have been a godsend. Would I be willing to stay there again? Probably, but I would definitely check to see what else available too.
