It is no exaggeration to say that this is why I came back on this trip.
This is my favorite accommodation.

Last year, I stayed at 1A studio accommodation.
This time, I was upgraded to 1C for free and stayed in a more spacious superior studio with a good view.

Please also refer to the studio room in last year’s review.


In Lisbon, I was just happy to escape from an expensive hotel that was tiny, couldn’t turn the air conditioner on and off at will, and was leaky.
I felt so fortunate that my last accommodation was here
haha.

The location is like this.
It’s right in front of Sao Bento train station.
It’s right in front of the exit of Metro Sao Bento Station
.
Image


This time I stayed in 1C.
A red light is a do not disturb sign
.
Image


I was so satisfied as soon as I opened the door
~
​ I was so excited that I even took a video
haha.

I really like it even when I look here and there

This is the kitchen.
The appliances are from Ikea.Image

One dishwasher detergent and one washing machine detergent were free.
I haven’t used it.Image

Dishcloths, scrubbers, and kitchen detergent are also provided.
It’s on a shelf with a trash can underneath.
Last year, I bought detergent and scrubbers from Pingudos without knowing
it🤣🤣
Image

Two Dolce Gusto coffee capsules are provided free of charge every day.
It was nice to have decaffeinated capsules last year.
This time, the decaffeinated capsules were not reprocessed
.
Image

Various seasonings, jellies, and nuts are sold as mini bars.Image

The refrigerator also has paid alcohol and beverages.
Of course, I didn’t even touch it haha.Image

Bathroom & toilet right next to the entrance.Image

There is no door to the shower room, so you have to wash thoroughly.
However, it is deep so there is no major flooding
.
Image

There are slippers under the sink.Image

Image

CASTELBEL includes hand and face wash, hair and body gel, and conditioner
.
Image

There are welcome chocolates and freebies on the table.
There is a charge for water in the refrigerator, and one bottle of water outside is provided free of charge every day.Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


There are a total of 3 terraces,
Adjustable with automatic blackout blinds
.
Image

Image

I ate pizza here and had a quick snack every evening.
But because there was so much floating population, I didn’t stay there for a long time
.
Image

Image


The downside is that this room is small.
I have all the blinds down in the evening, but it’s too dark.
At least it looks bright in the photo.
If there had been a light on the ceiling near the TV, it wouldn’t have been this dark, but it felt a bit like being in a cave
.
​ This is my favorite accommodation,
I like Porto even more because of this.
Next time I go to Porto, I plan to stay here.

I really recommend it
