Amazing!

Can’t recommend this hotel enough. Great location, amazing staff, excellent buffet breakfast and lovely rooms. My only comment would be to ask for extra pillows as they are very soft and a bit like they’re filled with gotten wool…! I will definitely stay here again should I return to Lisbon!

A beautiful boutique hotel in the most amazing location. Our room on the top floor was very small, but didn’t detract from our overall experience. The staff were all wonderful and the breakfast was lovely. Beautiful breakfast room and dining patio.

Great location, friendly, near the castle and cathedral which we liked, although as Lisbon is such a large city, location may not suit all. Easy access to centre though, 10-15 min walk and good tram and Uber service.

The photos of the types of bedroom on both the hotel's website and Expedia's are misleading, and we were initially put in a room that the hotel claimed was a Superior River View Plus, but, despite a view of the river, felt small and did not have the larger balcony as shown in the photo. It was in the roof, and felt much more like a Mansarda room (the rooms in the "attic"). However, following my complaint about this, we were put in what we were told was another Superior River View Plus but this was on the floor below and felt more spacious and was the same as the photo. After this initial glitch, our only other criticism of this otherwise beautiful hotel was the fact that there were no tea/coffee-making facilities in the bedrooms. There is a coffee machine on the ground floor that guests can use free of charge, but if you're looking forward to a coffee in bed as you wake up, it's not very practical. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly stay here again.
