​
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.

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

​
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
