Esqina Urban Lodge

I never leave reviews, but felt compelled to say something here. This was an extremely disappointing hotel and it should not be ranked at 4 stars. Two stars or 2.5 would be more appropriate. Let me start out by saying that I thought the staff was very kind and helpful. I was extremely disappointed with the room, especially for the price. When I booked the hotel, I was expecting a 4 star place. I've traveled to Europe multiple times and I'm aware that European lodging is typically much smaller than in the U.S. The room was incredibly small for the price and the shower had no door, which was not convenient as I was traveling with dad. The bathroom was one of the smallest I've ever experienced and could barely step inside and shut the door.

Do not expect 4 star hotel quality. I don’t know whether this can be called as hotel either. It seems like they renovated only rooms of what used to be youth hostel. The room is noisy - understandable the noise from outside considering amazing location but louder from inside. The rooms are facing close to the staircase and you can hear everyone’s step, chats etc. There is no proper reception. I was quite shocked when I first arrived, they placed a table and university student like staff (1 staff only) for everything except for cleaning. Also, the rooms can be VERY small - I had to ask to change the room because I could not even open my suitcase. I cannot recommend this place to anyone who wants decently comfortable stay.

The service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and the recommendations for dining were spot on!. The rooms are small but clean. The shower was great. Would stay again.

The location is right by the plaza and main streets! Pretty quiet for where it's located! Amazingggg huge shower with waterfall showerhead and great smelling soap. Lovely friendly staff. They give you a free phone to use while staying there with gps data and international calls-amazing extra touch! Wifi worked well. Heat and ac worked well. Robes was another awesome touch and glass bottle of water with glasses.

convenient and everything is walkable

It was good but the rooms were small and even though it was a twin room, there was no separate bathroom, shower cubicle was visible to the whole room so very little privacy. There were few facilities in the room eg tea and coffee and overall it felt more like an upmarket hostel than a hotel.

Great location very friendly staff and helpful. Unfortunatly we hadn't been told about a kitchen room where you could make tea/coffee etc. The sign on the first floor says " living room" a sign saying kitchen area would be better it was purely by chance that i looked in the room. But overall we had a very pleasant stay.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights during our honeymoon in Portugal. I contacted the hotel upon booking to let them know it was our honeymoon and they upgraded our room without me asking. The hotel is centrally located, super clean and trendy. We loved our stay!

Great location surrounded by shopping and restaurants. The service is great. Bruno was so helpful. There is a cell phone in each room you can take out and chat with the receptionist for questions during your stay.

All was great except the water faucets which do not work properly. Extremely tiny handles and very difficult to open and close. Also the unexpected steps in both sides of the bed are somewhat dangerous. The location is excellent and bed quality is also excellent
