Madalena Orquidea Living Apartments

We stayed at Madalena Orquidea Living Apartments right in Lisbon’s center, and it was fantastic. Our apartment was on the 3rd floor with two bedrooms, and the view of Lisbon was amazing. The apartment’s look and feel were great, with comfortable furniture, cool lamps, and interesting pictures that matched the kitchen’s modern vibe. They even had a Nespresso machine with different coffee pods, tea, and a free bottle of water, which was a nice touch. The beds were very comfy, helping us sleep well, and the heating/AC kept the apartment just right, no matter the weather. Both bathrooms were big and very clean. Checking in was easy too. They gave us a code, so we could get into the apartment building and our place without any hassle. The apartments are in a perfect spot to walk around Lisbon and try lots of good food nearby. All in all, staying at Madalena Orquidea Living Apartments was a great experience. It’s a great place if you’re looking for style, comfort, and a convenient location for your Lisbon trip.

Stayed here a few days ago. Unit was like a self catering apartment. There is no reception or service. On day 2 we ran out of toilet paper. We called the number inside the unit and were told we had used our “alloyed” amount! We didn’t even try for shampoo or soap. The lobby and elevator had a terrible smell caused by the buildings garbage bins located at the back. They weren’t emptied while we stayed there and we had to stop using the elevator as the smell was so bad in there. Expensive to stay here and no advantage over AirBnB.

Nice modern 2 bdrm apartments in Barro Alto charging over $350 EUR per night without any benefits. There is no front desk or services so you are on your own navigating access to the building. We received a code to enter less than 24 hrs before we arrived. We had already started our travel which created unnecessary anxiety for our trip. During our stay we ran out of toilet paper and called the number left in the room. We were told we had been given our ‘allotted’ amount - same with 1 small shampoo and soap bar - and would have to buy our own. We had 1 bath towel each that we had to dry on radiators rotating to get them dry. It was mid 20s in Lisbon and the last thing we wanted was a heated bath towel rack on. While we were there the garbage located behind the lobby wasn’t emptied. The lobby and elevator smelled like rotten garbage and dirty diapers. We had to hold our breath getting in and out of the building as it was terrible. This place is pricey and you’d be better off getting an AirBNB as it offers no benefits other than a clean place to stay.
