The room was clean neatly, and breakfast was great. However, my initial impression was negative due to the fact that they took more than 3 hours to give me my room after an 8 hour flight. They need to improve this.

The place is very clean and maintenance of the room and the property is excellent. However, the turn over ratio of the room for check in is very slow. Although, I was given the room an hour earlier (2:00 pm), I arrived at the property at 8:00 am. People were checking out, and I still had to wait too much time. When compared to other hotels, they didn't provide a good customer service. Managers need to understand that we are spending more than 8 hours on a plane. Although, we should not expect the rooms to be ready right away, we shouldn't be waiting more than 3 hours in the lobby.
Thank you.

We LOVED our stay at the Esquina! The property itself is very stylish and the room was comfortable with a large shower and comfy beds. We booked a room with a balcony, and it was an incredible perk to sit outside and have a glass of wine overlooking the city and water in the distance. Because this was our first time to Lisbon, we were less familiar with the specific neighborhoods of the city. The location of the hotel was excellent, as it was outside of the mega-touristy main avenues of the Baixa-Chiado area. I have no complaints and would recommend the Esquina to anyone!

Very cool vibe, excellent staff, clean rooms, and air conditioning!!
The building is at the crest of a large hill for your information. There is a tiny elevator but to get into the hotel there are a few steps, another step to get to the reception area, then three stairs to get from reception to the elevator- for those with accessibility issues this might not be the place for you unless there is a ramp to the elevator I didn’t see.
The outdoor bar area is excellent and the drinks at the hotel bar are some of the best we had in Lisbon (especially the Esqina one).
Room 34- 3rd floor:
We had a basic room which was quite small but fine. It had twin beds and they were hard. I asked for another duvet and slept on one and used the other for a cover. If you’re Canadian- no face cloths, so take your own.
Water pressure was amazing and the shower was great. Very little privacy from the separate toilet room and no way to latch the door. The door would close during the day but swing open at night. Simple latch would be helpful.
Only complaints:
-Scent piped into the main area by the bar/front entrance-very over powering and I’m allergic to scents so I couldn’t hang out in that great area
-There is no way to secure your hotel room door from the inside. The staff just came right into the room when we were in there. There was no sign to indicate we didn’t want service or do not disturb. A simple chain could fix this.
Overall a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the hotel.

Convenient location in central Lisbon, and hotel had a nice feel about it in the communal areas.
Only downside for us was the size of the room - it was very small for 2 of us and the lack of a dedicated bathroom was a downside. I'm sure the sixe of the room was noted in the description when we booked, so it is our fault that we missed that detail.

Hotel is perfectly placed to explore all of Lisbon! It’s at the peak of a hill so be aware you’ll do a lot of walking to get anywhere but we loved the location!

Hotel and room were gorgeous! We were on the first floor and the only thing I would say is we could hear guests coming up and down the stairs but it didn’t bother us too much. Rooms were stunning with huge French doors out on to the street, can’t hear any road noise and it was gorgeous to look out on the city every morning. Unfortunately we did so much exploring that we couldn’t take full advantage of the bar but it looked great and all the staff were really friendly.

Some parts of the hotel looked a little tired; still masking tape on the staircase to the first floor and some of the flooring in our room was bubbling up but that is more feedback for the hotel rather than any criticism.

We genuinely loved our stay and would return

We had far higher expectations of this hotel given the price. In a city full of incredibly nice people, the staff at this hotel were uniquely unfriendly and made us uncomfortable throughout the stay. They avoided eye contact whenever we would pass by through the hotel and seldom greeted us as we came and went. They were also more than 30 minutes late at check-in and offered us nothing for the inconvenience. We selected this location because it was likely to be less close to the noisy center, but it ended up being noisy because of the construction. For the service and the noise, I would spend your money elsewhere in the other nice hotels close by. The only positive note was the bed, which was comfortable.

Nice location, clean building, cute and unique rooms, and we had a great view. The building is not the most accessible, it’s up on a steep hill from the town centre and the elevator is up some stairs. The room was tight so it was hard to get our luggage to fit since we had 2 larger suitcases. Unfortunately our suitcase didn’t fit on the shelf meant for it and the furniture is not rearrangeable otherwise it would have been better. We managed to make it work and enjoyed our stay but would be difficult for someone with mobility issues.

Great central place to park yourself for your Lisbon vacation, so close to all the sights. I arrived on 8 am flight from JFK and arrived to hotel by 10 am. They can hold luggage until check in at 3 pm. They have a large bathroom area downstairs (no elevator) that I was able to brush teeth and change clothes in.
The room and bed were comfortable and spacious (by old Europe standards). I do wish the bathroom had more lighting, but it had great water pressure and blow dryer if needed. Shampoo and body wash available in room as well. Free drinking water (in refillable glass bottle) is available as part of your amenities and can be refilled on the daily. I was pleasantly surprised by the good soundproofing. My room faced the street and I could barely hear outside noise. I slept very well at night. Walking 20,000+ steps during the day prob also helped. Haha. A/C worked great. They do have a single small elevator that can carry you up to the rooms with your luggage.
Location was an easy walk to everything, including transit stations. I did not include the daily breakfast, nor did I go up to the terrace to see the views, so I can’t speak to those amenities. I would absolutely stay here again.
After leaving a few days to go to Porto, I flew back to Lisbon for one night and stayed here once more. They gave me room 5E for my second stay here. This room has gorgeous city views and was also very spacious. They even had a small bottle of complementary red wine in the room. Recommend!!

I booked this boutique hotel for my honeymoon, expecting a seamless and special experience. Instead, the day before our flight to Lisbon, we were targeted by a sophisticated phishing scam sent directly through this hotel’s official Expedia messaging portal. The hotel’s account was compromised, and because the message came from their official thread, I trusted it and my credit card details were stolen.
As a direct result of the hotel's lack of security, I had to spend the entire day before my honeymoon flight on the phone with my bank canceling my primary credit card. Traveling to Europe for our honeymoon without my main financial lifeline has caused an immense amount of stress and disruption.
When I reached out to the hotel to give them a chance to take accountability and make it right—whether through a room upgrade or a partial refund for the massive inconvenience—they offered absolutely nothing. Expedia acknowledged the breach on their end and provided a goodwill gesture, but the hotel itself showed zero accountability, zero customer service, and zero empathy for ruining the start of our honeymoon.
Do not trust this hotel with your data or your special occasions. Their security is compromised, and their management simply does not care about the fallout their guests experience

Staff were always friendly when you walked past reception and at breakfast. The guy that checked us in recommended a lovely lunch place ended up turning out amazing and we loved the food and view. I would say lifts big enough for one person and the bags which is what me and my friend did. We had a lovely view which was nice, would say room is average size, does look a bigger in photos, but we weren’t too bothered. Bathroom however, could use improvement, two lights in their could use with even maybe one of two more as it was quite dark, also no windows so ended up with lots of condensation. Just about enough space for our staff, would say would be better with a few more hanging hooks or even bit more storage. But for a few days was a lovely hotel.

We could leave our bags there for free before check in and 12pm checkout is very generous. The bottle of wine is also a nice touch! Breakfast was decent with a buffet and a choice of 2 of 3 hot options and a barista coffee. The only improvement is privacy in our room overlooking the balcony and breakfast area eg with frosted glass stickers as we had to keep all the blinds / curtains shut. Also some extra space to store or hang clothes would be appreciated but otherwise a great stay for a few days trip to Lisbon!

Pleasant enough stay but a few issues. We arrived late, & the building was locked. It took a long time to get someone to open up & let us in to check in. WiFi was not explained upon check in.
Got to the room & there was an open bathroom, which considering we asked for a twin room - mother & daughter - we didn’t particularly want to see the other showering!! Room 16 needs a screen or curtain you can divide the room up from the bathroom area, so that you have some privacy.
No milk for tea or coffee, even upon request we couldn’t have any (surely you supply this for breakfast?!) luckily a great supermarket is across the road for more coffee & milk supplies.
Room very hot, no remote available for the heater/air con unit to adjust it. Also waited ages for someone to serve us at the bar in the evening. If you like basic, then it’s a great location.
