Wonderful hotel, we were not familiar with the geography so we booked this hotel north of the city center, but in retrospect would have booked somewhere closer to the city center. But access to public transit was very convenient about 5 min walk from the hotel, and it was a short bus/train ride to most places, the train to Sintra also goes directly from the station next to the hotel. The hotel also has a limited shopping options on site, so you would have to take advantage of nearby grocery stores during business hours. On the plus side, the rooms were generously sized and the lobby is small but very nice and green, and we spent a decent amount of time just hanging out in the lobby listening to the piano, and having snacks drinks etc
