The location is very convenient, the staff is very friendly. I can really recommend the breakfast. I hadn't however realized the high-concept nature of the hotel. The room being a windowless box came as a bit of a surprise. Certainly would stay again if traveling solo or just passing through.

Do NOT stay there if you are easily claustrophobic

Worst room I have ever stayed in. Ceiling hight is 6” or about 1.8meter. No window. Extremely small. Bad lighting. Absolutely claustrophobic! Couldn’t sleep there. Checked out at 10pm trying to find another place. Hotel didn’t care or help

The box concept is not for me. I litteraly felt like sleeping in a box. The hotel is very well located. I suppose it’s a good concept for students.

The Box is a fantastic concept. Comfy!!!!

I love this concept!!!! I actually LOVE not having a window as it is he quietest stay in a big city that I’ve ever had. It’s VERY cozy with the wooden walls and ceiling. And super comfy bed. The lighting is awesome too. And a cold beer at check in was much appreciate after a long walk on the Camino today! I’m a little fascinated by this concept and curious about how it is sustainable as a business model because in a large city square footage is expensive and there is a lot of square footage in this building that is just air that encapsulates the boxes. I hope it works!

Just a box

The rooms are literally boxes built inside an old parking garage--so no window. Restaurant and bar on the top floor with views of river and park. But quite, dark and cool for sleeping. a/c and private baths.

The rooms do the job, when you’re in the room you want to sleep and have a good rest. When you wake up, you want to get the heck out of there asap. So great for a fantastic, restful night!

No Zeros Here I Give it a 10 out of 10

I book this property because I needed an over night stay during my road trip through Portugal. My only regret not staying longer. Staff: Friendly, nice and very accommodating. Accommodations: the property has a unique design with a full service restaurant on the roof. The rooms are just pictured and surprisingly comfortable. Location: Central right by the bridge with shops and sights literally around the corner. Back to the food… I had one of the BEST shrimp dishes I’ve ever had in my life. I’m embarrassed to say it was so good I literally order two of them. Don’t let the concept of the hotel deter you. I had a very enjoyable stay and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This is a non traditional hotel. The room has no tv or a window but is comfortable like a box. I imagine we all end up in a box someday and why not get used to it.
