Good location and potential — but not yet up to standard.
Lisbon City Inn enjoys a convenient location near the city center, with polite staff and visible investment in upgrades. However, the renovation feels unfinished, and several quality issues hold it back from delivering the experience it aims for.
Our room showed promise but suffered from a few serious flaws:
– Excessive LED and fluorescent lights at night make the room almost as bright as a runway, even with blackout curtains.
– The bathroom design is impractical — outward-opening shower doors flood the floor, the sink shelf is unstable, the showerhead is cracked, and the sliding toilet door doesn’t close, compromising privacy.
– The elevator is still being installed, so navigating the narrow staircase with luggage is a challenge.
The room itself is compact yet functional. The property sits beside local social support facilities, which slightly influence the area’s atmosphere, though we personally encountered no problems.
Overall, the team is courteous and the hotel shows potential — but stronger quality control and completion of the refurbishment are still needed to match its ambition.
