Great location a few blocks from Rossio, Santa Justus lift, the Commerce Plaza, the river etc. NOT a very hilly part of town and while hotel is on a street so easy to get to, the entrance is on a pedestrian zone so safe to walk into. Room comfortable but small by American standards- get used to it. Shower plenty big. Old building so i see that folks complained about the floor boards creaking. Again, get used to it. Breakfast had eggs made to order which was unusual and very welcome. Then the usual bread and jam and deli meats and cheese and yogurt selections. Front desk staff very nice and good recommendations and even held my luggage for me!

Great little hotel, the rooms are stylish, large and airy, friendly and helpful staff, effective air con (rarely needed even when hot outside). With a few tweaks would be five star (coffee maker in communal areas, some bacon to go with the cooked breakfast, not having to book breakfast time) but overall highly recommended. The location was brilliant, right in the heart of the city. I'd definitely come back.

Very nice boutique style hotel right in the heart of Baxia. Staff were very accomodating and helpful. Easy walking to everywhere! Newer windows and the old shutters help with noise reduction from the street at night.....was not a problem.

Overall very satisifying stay and would absolutely recommend for the value. It is right downtown and walkable to many great spots within minutes, staff were friendly and helpful with all my inquiries, there were thick shutters helping to block out light and sound after a long travel day and me needing to recoup and rest. There was construction directly beside the property, but earplugs did the trick and I was not bothered even though I am a very light sleeper. Pillows were perfect, bed was comfortable, mattress on the firm side which I enjoyed. No complaints! Only gave 4 stars because it wasnt anything exceptional, but still a great option for the price and location

This is the only hotel you should stay at in the downtown area. It was hard to spot the entrance when we first got here but after 2 mins of walking in the area looking at our gps we found it on the side pedestrian street. The room was amazing! Clean, big, comfortable, nice hot shower, nice toiletries and a fridge in the room. Breakfast is not worth paying the extra money for. There are a couple of brunch places next door and plenty of bakeries open early just a couple streets over. If we come back to Lisbon we are coming back here.

Overall a good hotel. Great location, close to everything. Only stayed for one night before going back home. Big room. Clean but there were marks on the walls. Shower was okay but hard to manipulate. Friendly and helpful front desk. Would stay again due to location and room was comfortable enough.

Elevator only reaches the 4th floor, room was a little dirty, there was mild construction being done…specifically the sound of drilling. My room was 6th floor (top floor) had to carry the luggage up a few flights and the wifi hardly reached all the way up. Not bad, not great, probably better options for the same price if you shop around.

Really a great time in Lisbon, the hotel is well placed and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They gave me directions on where to go and recommendations. The room was confortable and very clean. The metro is very close and it is at the door step of Praça do Comércio. I would definitely go back to this hotel.
