The Residencial Roxi is located in a pretty yellow building with wrought-iron balconies that sits in front of a patterned stone sidewalk and a metro station. Guests have to ring a buzzer to enter the hotel. Inside, the reception is dated, with a knotty wood-paneled front desk area. There’s no elevator at the hotel, and the stairway has a metal railing with chipped paint and textured popcorn ceilings. The hotel has a homey living room area with floor-length curtains, green couches for guests to relax on, and a tubeTV. Guests are a mix of solo travelers and couples, and there are shared bathrooms with handheld shower hoses for those staying in rooms without private bathrooms. 

Residencial Roxi is located on a the Avenida Almirante Reis, one of the main avenues of Lisbon. There are plenty of local businesses in walking distance, including restaurants and shops, but some of the streets nearby feel shady, particularly at night. The Intendente Metro Station is a half a block away, making it an easy commute to most of the city. St. George’s Castle and the lively Bairro Alto neighborhood can be reached within 30 minutes on public transportation. The airport is a 15-minute drive away.

Rooms at Resdencial Roxi have white walls, wooden floors, and dated decor including salmon-colored bedding, floor-length curtains, cheap-looking wooden furnishings, and wall-mounted tube TVs. Single, Double, and Triple Rooms are available. Some rooms have sinks and bidets but share bathrooms, while others have their own tiny, white-tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers. Soap is provided, but shampoo and other toiletries are not. 

The hotel has limited amenities, but reception is available 24 hours a day. There's a homey living room area with a TV and couches as well as a business corner with a computer and a printer. A safe is available at the front desk, and the hotel has free Wi-Fi.
