Apartments in Lisbon District, Portugal

Serious safety and service failures at Numa Anjos Lisbon, and a broader pattern of unresponsiveness from your digital support during the stay. In the early hours of 25 June, a fire alarm was triggered at the property. The alarm sounded for over 30 minutes. My group and other guests evacuated the building and gathered outside. I understand that Numa operates as an unstaffed, digital-first property — that is the model we booked, and I am not complaining about the absence of on-site staff itself. My complaint is that the digital support which is supposed to replace on-site staff, and which Numa advertises as available 24/7 across the website, the Trip.com listing/booking confirmation, the in-room welcome guide, and the app/check-in instructions, was completely unreachable during an actual emergency! During the alarm and evacuation, WhatsApp — the primary digital contact channel — received no response whatsoever. No one from Numa made contact through any digital channel while the situation was unfolding. Several guests called emergency services directly because there was no way to reach Numa. No fire authority or emergency personnel arrived on site during this period either. They claimed to have security check the property and coordinating with authorities during the absence of active support - we saw no single soul present. We wonder how they checked the safety? The alarm went off itself and guests just went back in without hesitation. The first communication we received from Numa was an email sent around 3:20am — hours after the alarm, and well after the situation had already resolved itself on its own, with zero digital support from your team at any point during the actual emergency!! They said they sent both SMS and email. This is the biggest failure of security protocol - some guests sleep with their phones in silent mode, or switched off or with ear-plugs on like us. Luckily my partner heard the alarm and able to wake me up in time for the evacuation! This was not an isolated incident. It is consistent with a pattern of unreliable response times from your team throughout this stay: • When we requested a room change due to a noise issue (even though requested at the time of booking but told it is automatic assignment), WhatsApp told us an agent would reach out within approximately 15–20 minutes. The actual response came roughly 2 hours later. • When we reported an air conditioning issue of a new room, it similarly took longer to receive any response. And later they accessed our room unannounced even though I asked specifically for the time of check up. Taken together with the fire alarm incident, this shows that the 24/7 digital support Numa advertises does not function as promised, even for routine requests, let alone emergencies. The fire alarm is simply the most serious example of a problem that recurred throughout our stay!! The core issues are: 1. Total unresponsiveness on WhatsApp during a 30+ minute active fire alarm and evacuation. 2. No digital contact or guidance of any kind while the emergency was happening 3. No coordination with or follow-up from emergency authorities, despite guests calling them directly. (it seems their alarm is not linked to authorities?) 4. A delayed, after-the-fact email as the only acknowledgment of the fire alarm — sent only once the situation had already resolved. 5. A direct contradiction between the “24/7 guest support” promised at every booking touchpoint and the repeated, significant delays we experienced for the room change request, the air conditioning issue, and most critically, the fire alarm emergency. For a property built entirely around remote/digital guest support replacing on-site staff, this is not a minor service lapse — it is a recurring failure of the core mechanism guests are told to rely on, with the fire alarm being the point where that failure became a genuine safety issue.

I won’t recommend this apartment though it is only less than 10 mins walk from the Martim Moniz metro station and the city centre. The apartment is located at the back alley of some old buildings. There were a lot of homeless people and wanderers at both ends of the alleys. The most unacceptable thing was that the alley was stinky with the very bad smell of urine and garbage. Since the apartment is inside the alley that car cannot go inside, even we took Uber, we still need to walk 2-min from either end of the alley to the apartment. Unfortunately we were assigned with a room on the ground level of the 4-storey apartment. To be exact, the room was slightly below ground level, meaning that we could see the feet of the people walking on the street through the 2 windows of our room. It was also a bit noisy when people talked on the street, parked their bicycle right at the windows of our room. Obviously we couldn’t open our windows or curtains, meaning that it was like staying in a room without windows. We have asked for a change of room. Since we were staying there for 7 nights, we also didn’t mind to change for only a few nights in the middle of the stay, however we were not provided with any option to change our room even though we booked this apartment 4 MONTHS ago (not the last minute customers). Besides, the sound proofing of the apartment was bad. We could hear everyone talking outside. Since it’s the ground floor unit, there were more people passing by and going up to different floors and in and out the building, all sounds were quite annoying especially during the late night. Among the 7 nights, there were also 2 nights having some sorts of alarm in the mid nights for over 30 minutes. All these issues were very disturbing too. Adding to it, the bed and pillows of the apartment were too hard and not comfortable to us. We didn’t have any good sleep unfortunately. Nevertheless the interior of the apartment was fine, spacious and clean. Decoration was modern, daily house-keeping was also fine. There were aircon, washer and dryer, a basic coffee filter machines but not Nespresso coffee machine.

A vibrant apartment, clean and minimalist, with a spacious bathroom and good water pressure. Located in a prime location, it's within walking distance of many places, making it ideal for tourists. It's also very close to shared bikes.

Overall great stay. It was a comfortable experience in a spacious room compared to a typical hotel room. Only downside is that it is bit further away from the city center so bit additional travel was required, but for the price and comfort I did not mind it. Only thing I wish they had was washer/dryer.

We stayed in this apartment for 7 days and had a very comfortable experience. The location is excellent, and the apartment itself is modern, spacious, and well-equipped with all essential amenities, including a dishwasher and a washing machine. The rooms were very clean, and the daily housekeeping service made our stay even more convenient, especially while traveling with family. I would highly recommend this property for families. On the second day, there was a technical issue with the main door and it wouldn’t open, but the staff resolved the problem within an hour. Apart from this minor issue, the service throughout our stay was excellent.

This is a very cost-effective hotel in Lisbon. It is the best and most convenient choice for family travel. It has a refrigerator, an induction cooker, pots and pans, and even red wine glasses. This is really surprising. The decoration of the hotel is very high-quality, and every waiter is enthusiastic. A handsome guy at the front desk even shared the snacks he bought with us, which was really heartwarming! I stay here with my family every year.

I recently stayed at thisserviced apartment hotel in Lisbon and had a very pleasant experience. The location was excellent, close to public transportation, restaurants, and many of the city’s main attractions. The apartment itself was clean, modern, and well-equipped, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including a small kitchen and a spacious living area. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the reliable Wi-Fi, which made it easy to relax or get some work done. Overall, this was a great place to stay, offering both the comfort of a home and the convenience of a hotel. I would definitely consider staying here again the next time I visit Lisbon.

It’s such a lovey hotel to be staying at. Friendly staffs and can accommodate any requests we asked. As our departure to the airport was at 4:45am early in the morning, I requested to have some sandwiches and drinks to pick up before we left the hotel, instead, they had prepared a big box of food consisted of cheese and ham sandwich, apple, banana, juice and water for us. We heartfelt for what they have done to us. Indeed everyday, we have full breakfast delivered to our room n the food was decent. Also, one night there was a movie night by the pool side, and I found it amazingly care and trying their best to fulfill everyone’s needs. The hotel room is clean and very high standard. I will highly recommend people to stay in this hotel/ serviced apartment ( as it come with an open kitchen). And we happened to stay at their hotel on their 1st anniversary, and celebrated with us and with a delicious cake! 😜

I think this place is great for a short stay of 1-2 nights with friends, and it's right by the metro station. If you're traveling solo, I'd probably still recommend staying at the Lisbon City Hotel next door – check-in is at the same spot anyway, and they have a 24-hour front desk.

The room had a nice, relaxing atmosphere. I had requested a room with a bathtub, and had checked in advance which rooms had a bathtub, but unfortunately there were none available on the day, so I ended up with just a shower, which was disappointing. Other than that, it was very good.
