Upon Lisbon Prime Residences

The hotel is relatively conveniently located - it is not in the city center, but close to the metro and in 25 minutes you can get to the center without transfers. The rooms need renovation. Everything is a bit shabby and some of the equipment clearly needs renovation. We stayed at the end of December and the rooms were quite cool, since there is no heating in the rooms and there is a strong draft from the windows. The breakfasts are monotonous. Plus, it would be nice to diversify the eggs and cereal with oatmeal.

The location is a little off, a certain distance from the hotel, but the room is big and I am very satisfied with it. My favorite highlight is the egg tarts prepared for me.

The hotel facilities are very complete and very suitable for self-catering. There is no bottled water but there is a kettle.

I debated between Upon and the hotel apartment in the old town for a long time, and finally decided to stay in Upon, because they are really cost-effective in comparison, and the money saved on taking a taxi or subway is definitely enough. I have seen that the rooms in the better hotel chains in Lisbon are not too big. Their rooms are relatively larger at more than 30 square meters, and they also have small kitchens where you can cook your own meals. Another advantage is that they are not far from the subway station, about 700 to 800 meters, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk. It is very convenient to go anywhere. Moreover, they were opposite Benfica, and there was a game on the second night of their stay there, so I felt the enthusiasm of the fans. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the hotel. It would be better if the kitchen utensils were more complete in size. It would be better to consider the issue of hanging clothes after washing. There are also cleaning staff who don't speak English, but the service at the front desk is still good. If you ask them any questions, they can explain them patiently. If you book a room without breakfast, their breakfast on the first floor seems to be 13 euros per person. Besides, because the children are older, all the one-bedrooms are specially reserved. The sofa bed has been set up and the bedding has been put out, which is quite thoughtful. I will probably choose them next time I come here. It is highly recommended. Oh, and I would like to add that right across from the Benfica Stadium is the Columbus Shopping Center in Lisbon. It is convenient for shopping and eating. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk.
