great little place close to the airport
We spent 2 hours getting from the Algarve and 2 hours finding the hotel...beleive me it was worth the search. The hotel is gorgeous, the staff more than helpful. The room not only beautiful, but spotless and with lovely amenities (robes. slippers etc).[...], the bellman was also the bartender and he could do it all. He even recommended a local fish place down the street that was awesomeI would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

A nice city hotel
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly. The bathroom was one of the highlights of the room. The sauna is hardly worth a visit. It is way too small. The hotel is in walking distance to the city center, but be prepared to walk up the hill.

Simply my comments
As I mentioned the hotel Eurostar in Portugal I will go back in a second, but in Spain Husa Princessa I requested the aircondition to be checked and they did not pay attention until the next day and they told me that the heater was on instead of aircondition and no wonder I did not sleep all night the first night.

Stayed for 4 nights in this excellent
Stayed for 4 nights in this excellent hotel for a short break it was simply excellent , the room was spacious and well equipped fantastic shower! It was very quiet unlike many of the the other big hotels we saw which were close to main roads and traffic- we found a number of excellent restaurants some recommended in guide books within an 10 mins walk - there is a hill near the hotel which could be awkward for some but made no impact yo us - all the major sights were within easy reach - the service was excellent throughout our stay and unusually for a capital city the hotel bar and food prices were very reasonable - would definately stay here again and am happy to recommend it to others

Quality and Value
This hotel is the perfect combination of quality and value. I stayed in a standard room, which was on the smaller side, but still larger than most European hotels. The spacious bathroom included a tub and the shower had many features that I could not figure out, but the technologically savvy would probably enjoy. The room was very clean and the comfortable king bed was a surprise in a land of pseudo doubles (ie two twins). The reception staff was patient and helpful. When my room was not ready at check-in time, I received profuse apologies and offers of refreshments, even though the wait time would be five minutes. The hotel is slightly off of the main avenue, so itś quiet and you become part of the residential neighborhood with inhabitants who stand on their balconies and watch the people go by. If you enjoy walking, or will be taking taxis, the location is perfect. However, itś important to know that there is a fairly steep hill that separates the hotel from Avenida Liberdad and then about a ten minute walk to the Rossio and another 15-20 minutes to the waterfront. This is not a super luxurious five star hotel, but it is worth every penny of itś mid-range price.

Sightseeing tip:
Short drive from hotel
The easiest way to visit Sintra and Cascais is on an organized tour. Inside Lisbonś tours are cheaper than others, but they are great! They take smaller groups, so are able to spend more or less time at various spots as desired. They even get in some beach time, where other tours just drive by.

The [website] price was excellent;
The [website] price was excellent; the price posted on the room door outrageous. Stylish and comfortable, terrific shower, great location for the Cinemateca and the Bairro Alto, needs better reading lights, better selection of TV channels and a less sterile lobby area, but if you can get a good price, go for it.
