Residencial Modelo Hotel Lisbon

The place is horrible, it has colossal stairs with no elevator, the room is small and old and very moldy, I did not feel comfortable taking shower there. Cannot recommend it

When I first checked in, I thought that if this hotel had one more star, it would qualify as a dump. But about 15 minutes after I got to my room, a staff member arrived with a big plate of fruit, and I saw the hotel for what it is - VERY basic, but clean, comfortable, and with a helpful staff, The room had only one electric outlet but had good lighting. There is no internet, and the hotel does not even have an email address. It is located within a two minute walk of one major metro station and a five minute walk to another one on a different line - very convenient for getting around the city. It is very close to a major, active square, just a short walk to the banks of the Tagus river, and close to bus stops, including the airport bus. The main downside is that the hotel is on a street with dozens of outdoor restaurants, so you get a lot of noise from them until 11 PM (but finding a restaurant is convenient). Then the street cleaners and garbage trucks come through well into the early morning. Fortunately, I can sleep through a nuclear war. Also, the rooms have fairly sound-proof French doors that block out the street noise. But since there is no air conditioning, you'll want to keep them open in warm weather. At the normal rates, the hotel is OK value for the money. Just don't expect any amenities. I was in Lisbon for a major conference, and like all the hotels in town, this one, too, boosted its rates more than three-fold. (Some hotels jacked up their rates more than that.) If all you want is a comfortable bed or two twin beds in a clean room with a friendly, helpful, English-speaking staff, and bargain prices (under normal circumstance), this place is downright OK.

The location is excellent--close to the Metro, close to the river, close to upscale shopping. We could not have been better situated. The hotel entrance is very modest and the rooms are small but we were happy overall.

Good price!!Good location!!Wide and clean bathroom!! The best hotel in Lisboa ever!!

great location, good price, and clean rooms with a decent bathroom

Good location but street was noisy. No service.

Very basic, you get what you pay for. A comfortable bed, fair size room, good location and hot water were the best features. No air conditioning so a place best avoided in the heat of the summer. No lift, no fixing for the shower head, no plug for the bath and initially no fan for the room. There was no TV remote but we never asked whether they could supply. The pillows (3 for the two single beds) felt like someone had removed the foam and ripped it into pieces before stuffing it back in the cover. Very lumpy.

A simple but very acceptable budget accomodation. A perfect location close to everything.

It is at the right price and good location. I believed it is one of the best bargain at this price range. However, due to the old age of the existing building, the floor drain of the bathroom did not function very well.

Very difficult to deal with, our plans were astray prior to getting there and they were not very helpful.
