everything here was horrible!!! i thought i was a good price for the rossio area - but even for the location it was a total ripoff.

i first made a lengthy reservation by internet with a prepaid deposit, and when i sent an email to shorten the stay i had planned, they claimed to not have received it! how convenient for them... get the first email, but not the second? yeah right.

when i arrived at the place, it was NOTHING like what was described online - old, dirty, thin cotton blankets and mismatched, worn-out sheets like something from a refugee camp. cigarette ashes on the floor of the room. and the clerk was RUDE!! then when i told him i woudn't stay in such a decrepid excuse for a lodging house, he charged my card anyway!

he also lied and told me "there was no way" i would find otheraffordable accommodation anywhere nearby - what a lie! less than one block away, i found the fantastic pension del norte, with rooms for 35 euros (the exact same price as new aljubarrota) that were clean, nice, and with elevator access! and friendly staff!!

i wouldn't recommend the new aljubarrota to my worst enemy. be warned!!

"Poor expectations"

The price is to high for what you can get, it's very old and you dont feel safe at the place itself.
