All in all, I recommend the Lisbon H.I., though really there's not much in it. And I have no idea how they handle reward nights and upgrades.
I got an upgrade to a large suite at the Lisbon HI on rewards points last weekend, excellent value (15k points per night, I think).
I did wonder what all the well-dressed young women were doing standing on the road as I walked back from metro late on Saturday night - I'm clearly very naive...
