    "description": "Correio Velho Hotel opened in late 2025 in a restored building on Travessa das Mercês. It is a small two-star hotel with clean, restrained interiors, a lift and one accessible room. Those last two features are worth noting in Bairro Alto, where many older buildings still rely entirely on stairs. Guests can make tea or coffee in a shared sitting area, but there is no restaurant or long list of hotel services.\n\nArrival is handled through self check-in. Complete every step before setting off and keep the entry information available without an internet connection in case mobile reception fails at the door. Travessa das Mercês is narrow and vehicle access can be restricted, so ask where a taxi can stop if you are bringing luggage. Rooms facing the lane may also pick up voices after the nearby bars close. As a recent opening, the hotel has had isolated reports of air-conditioning problems, first-day cleaning issues and rooms feeling smaller than expected. Before booking, read the newest feedback to see whether these early problems have been resolved.",

        "summary": "The hotel has only recently opened, but early reviews speak well of the comfortable rooms, restrained design and central location. The lift is also a rare advantage in this part of Lisbon, particularly for guests with luggage. A handful of stays mention air-conditioning problems, cleaning issues on the day of arrival or rooms feeling smaller than anticipated. Because arrival uses self check-in, make sure the full instructions have reached you before travelling and save them offline. Ask about room position and the recommended luggage drop-off at the same time."
