We stayed at the “Dom Carlos Park” for four nights in October. It is probably an older building that was updated with all amenities, elevator, WiFi and fridge in room. The rooms were very clean and the bathroom was fully functional. As is the custom lately there is only soap, no shampoo, so bring some.
The hotel is two minutes from a major subway station and also walkable distance from the river and many destinations. Still, a daily public transportation pass is useful; at a cost of Euro 6.50/24 hours, it allows using all subways, buses, most local trains and some ferry service and lifts. Do not just buy online, buy at the subway station (Metro) as it anyhow needs to be enabled at a kiosk (no App that we could use).
Parking is available for drop-off and pick-up, but the front desk staff was very unfriendly about using those spots.
Expedia offered a complimentary drink for the stay, which we appreciated. The hotel put out a bottle of flat water for a cost, which we find less than appropriate for this level of hotel.
Building projects are everywhere, but right now they are on both sides of the hotel; the workers seem to respect working hours (8 AM – 5 PM), so we only had some noise during breakfast. There are supermarkets near-by, but there are also many excellent eateries for all tastes and budgets.
