My experience at Tesouro da Baixa by Shiadu in Lisbon was incredibly disappointing. Despite Expedia listing it as a "4 Stars Hotel" with corresponding prices, it turned out to be more of a hostel for backpackers. Unlike other hotels in Lisbon that required to display the star ratings, there was no such sign here. Safety was a concern throughout my stay; there was no lobby or security presence. Instead, there were a shoe store at the entrance, and anyone could enter the building and take the elevator to the rooms.
There's no inside lock on the room doors. I had to placing a chair inside the room to block the door. The service was also lacking. Upon check-in, despite two employees being present, one was busy selling tour tickets and the other asked us to wait. After waiting for 15 minutes, we had to ask the employee playing with their phone to check us in. Also, seeing a tip basket at the desk of a supposed 4-star hotel was surprising & unprofessional.
During 3-night stay, our room card stopped working every night, need to find an employee to reactivate it. Wasted a lot of our time. The room itself was rundown, with a tiny TV and outdated facilities. The soundproofing was BAD. I woke up every night by hearing people walking on the stairs and talking loudly. I could even hear someone snoring in the room next door, which made it hard to sleep.
Advertised in Expedia as a 4-star hotel, misleading potential guests. Felt my money was wasted. I would never recommend to anyone.
