Parking note. Problematic — Narrow bays, expensive rates (18-25€/day), inconsistent availability, and guests told to park outside if full.

What guests report

View

Higher floors (16th-24th) offer stunning panoramic city views and aqueduct vistas; lower floors have limited views; some rooms overlook train station area

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable, high-quality bedding; guests consistently praise as among the best beds ever slept in; Portuguese mattresses noted as very comfortable

Bathroom & water

Modern, spacious bathrooms; excellent water pressure in showers; some reports of fluctuating water temperature; bidets available (uncommon for category); some rooms report drainage/smell issues from pipes

Wi-Fi

Reliable and fast; not specifically praised or criticized

Breakfast

Outstanding buffet with live pianist, fresh pastries, made-to-order omelets, international options; widely considered among best hotel breakfasts experienced; worth the stay alone for many guests

AC / heating

Generally reliable but some issues reported: blocked filters requiring cleaning, room temperature control sometimes ineffective in heat, can malfunction requiring maintenance calls

Elevator

Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a lower floor to avoid long elevator waits; the smart card elevator system can take 15-20 minutes during peak times.

Breakfast is exceptional but opens at 7am; ask reception if early service available around 6am for early flights.

The Sky Lounge (24th floor) with executive access offers quieter breakfast experience and complimentary beverages; worth upgrading for.
