First time going to Lisbon and after a ton of poking around, I ended up going with Lx Boutique Hotel, which ended up being a solid stay due to the location, the room, and the service. As you'll see below, your mileage may vary depending on where you are expecting to go to and what you consider noisy, but I think it's a great stay.
Pros:
+Check-in was super smooth / friendly. The elevator was never overly crowded or took too long to get to.
+There was nata and port wine available every afternoon in the lobby. Loved it.
+I personally love the design of the room. Loved the art style and the design. The restroom in particular was cool / super modern and had a nice contrast against the more classic style of the hotel. The bed too was comfy and all the amenities were there from locks to hangers. Yes, water is like 2.5 euros but for the huge bottle, that's not bad at all to me.
+I personally love where this is located at. It's a quick walk to the Tagus and a lot of the coastal sights, restaurants and not too far from other metros. Also easy to hail a taxi. Also, if you like to party/go to Pink Street, its so close and easy to get to.
Pro/Con:
+/- Noise-wise, I was placed in a room on the 2nd floor near the alleyway. I heard a tiny bit of noise from the busy Pink Street area below, so it wasn't that bad. Would just check in with the lobby to see if you can be placed higher if you think the noise is going to be an issue. Also, if you're not going to be going to Pink Street at all, you may run into both drunken party patrons or the 'drug dealers' accidentally as you try to get elsewhere. Wasn't a big deal and can just ignore them, but just as a FYI.
+/- The rooms have a slightly weird card system in which you have to keep your card near the key reader in order to open. The trick (as someone in the lobby taught me) was just to press up the higher part of the card against the reader and hold it there.
Cons:
-There was only one plug that I could find in the room, so if you need a few items that need charging, you will just have to make sure to change things out.
-Super small desk. So if you need to work or want to read/write at a desk, it'll be a bit tough.
Love that it was so close to Time Out Market and the metro/train station to some of the other cities. Would def. go back!
