Hotel My Story Hotel Tejo

We had room 319. Nice room, good size, modern furniture and bathroom. Comfortable bed. Downside, no view; we looked out on a very small, fully enclosed courtyard. However, didn't bother us too much as we were out most of the time during daylight. The upside was no traffic noise at all, despite the Hotel being in a fairly busy corner. In the room there was a fridge with water etc (payable). Also a coffee maker, which only worked to heat up water, must have been broken as coffee pods did not work. Again, not a problem as we had our own coffee and tea. There was Rituals soap, shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom. Good size TV had CNN, didn't try any other channels as not there to watch TV! Free safe in wardrobes. Towels changed every day. Breakfast was really good. Good selection of cereals and pasties, fresh bread, cheese, meat. Scrambled eggs, beans, mushrooms, vegetables and really nice fruit. The orange segments were especially tasty. Restaurant was very smalk though. The hotel is very well located, just round the corner from Tram 28 stop one way (massive queues though, suggest Tram 12 better option). Also a flat walk along main street down to the River. We also walked to the train station at Cais do Sodre. 20 minute walk, train to Cascais by the sea, absolutely beautiful place, 40mins on the scenic train. We ate at local restaurants, Elavador was the best, not far from the Victorian elevator, just around the corner from the hotel. Had a fantastic time. Booked with Easyjet, private transfers and Lisboa card also booked with Easyjet. Lisboa card is great, no queueing for tickets for many attractions and many were free with the card. The Castle was great, went straight past the main queue, showed the card and went straight in. Card gives you free Tram, bus, train rides, highly recommend you buy in advance online.
