About
Espaco Espelho D'Agua - Lisbon
Espaco Espelho D'Agua is a 2-star property set on Avenida Brasília, right beside the Museu de Arte Popular and about a 5-minute walk from the Monument to the Discoveries. Torre de Belém sits 1.4 km away, and the Jerónimos Monastery is close enough to reach on foot. The building also houses a restaurant and an art gallery downstairs, which several guests highlight as a handy bonus.
The rooms are simple studios with double beds, and each comes with air conditioning, heating, and a view over the water—some guests describe it as a lake or river view. The listed amenities are modest: Wi-Fi, a minibar, free toiletries, and parquet floors. There is no mention of a fitness centre, pool, or on-site parking, so this is a straightforward stay for travellers who prioritise location and price over extras.
