Positive Reviews
positive:
On Rossio Square, explore Lisbon Bairro Alto.
The guest house is said to be perfectly located for those wanting to explore Lisbon's Bairro Alto historical centre; it is found right on Rossio Square and the entrance is located between two of the many restaurants and cafes on the main square. On top of this, a few guests even said they had views of the castle from their room.
positive:
Staff friendly, kind, have good English.
According to reviews, there is kind and friendly staff on site around the clock at Alojamento Local Santo Tirso, and they are generally said to have a good standard of English.
positive:
Simple, no frills stay at corresponding price.
Many of those who stayed here were happy with what they got — simple, no frills lodgings at a good price — but it appears that anyone looking for much more than this should perhaps look elsewhere.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A bit run down and in need of maintenance.
Alojamento Local Santo Tirso was occasionally said to look a bit run down, both in guest rooms and common areas, while a small number of guests also reported some furnishings in rooms as needing maintenance.
negative:
Cleanliness not always tip top.
Guests occasionally mentioned that they thought that the standard of cleanliness was sub par, and on this note, the shared bathrooms were occasionally said to be candidates for a clean-up. Having said this, other guests found it to be fine, so it may depend on the other guests.
negative:
Stairs to deal with.
Those who have trouble with stairs, or a large amount of luggage to take with them, should be aware that there is no elevator in this guest house, so book accordingly.
