Great property, well maintained, generous room size and very good breakfast. Just be aware that it is on the top of a hill in a restricted zone so only taxis and not Uber can access it by road. Uber stops at the bottom of the hill and you have to drag your bags up a fairly steep hill for about 200 metres. Suggest take a taxi as they have passes.

The hotel was beautiful, staff were amazing, restaurants fantastic (breakfast was out of this world). Only thing to look out for is the smell from the kitchen is very overpowering that you don’t feel the fresh sea air with the windows open. Ask for a room not above the kitchen.

Lovely accommodations for those wanting to experience Lisbon but not be center of the city (easy 10 minute walk to downtown, though remember comfy walking shoes, as it’s a lot a steps!). This is on a hill, right next to the Castel, so wonderful for sight-seeing. Staff were helpful and kind. Light breakfast was a great option (and included). I highly recommend the rooms with a small terrace - worth the upgrade to sit and relax after a day of waltzing around :)

Sofia in the breakfast area, was the absolute best part of my stay. I was only there one night, but she took amazingly good care of me. She made sure I had something to eat and drink while I waited to check-in. She told me the second my room was available to check-in to and even took my bags to my room. I absolutely love Sofia and hope this hotel knows what a treasure she is.

The hotel needs some upgrades. Older decor and fading mirrors (the blackish areas that don’t reflect any more). I didn’t use the Kureg, but could tell it hadn’t been cleaned properly. The sheets were clean, but only two pillows about 2/3 the soa e of regular pillows. The furniture is very dated as are the doors, shower and bathroom fixtures. The rest of the staff are kind and helpful. I’d did feel safe at the hotel, and the lobby area was comfortable. The curtains were ripped and very old, as were the ones in my room.
Upgrade the decor and ensure everything is spotless, you will have a winning hotel.

Mixed feelings about this hotel..
Located on the top of one hill near the Castello, with access to Alfalfa area, easy to get down to it, harder to get back over too many steps. I wouldn’t drive, the streets ate too steep, too narrow.
The hotel is tidy, staff work their best to accommodate the guests comfortable stay,
However, I must mention to all of the travellers that the hotel’s pictures are deceiving, shows a lot of light, the big windows, access to the individual terraces or, at list, the overlooking terrace for the all guests. The terrace, where you could have a cup of coffee or glass of vino while enjoying the sunset is Not existing. You will have to step out of the hotel on the street across the hotel. The pictures on the hotel’s sight shows the suits on the last floor, the 4th one.They serve the decent breakfast on the first floor, that feels a bit crammed into the smaller area. I liked their table settings. Very clean and well arranged.
Our room was on the first floor, much is the second for North Americans. The windows were facing the street and the building across. You could hear every sound coming from underneath and there were a lot of them, as people are coming back after party or from work. The AC was very noisy, but it could not cover the street noises at night. I would recommend to book the room at the higher level or away from the street, if possible. The receptionist comp help us, as hotel is smaller and was fully booked.

Perfect location- it is central to Alfama excitement on a quiet residential street. We were generously upgraded to a balcony room and it had some of the best views of the city. Do note that because it’s a residential street rideshare companies cannot drop you off there so it is best to coordinate with the hotel to pick you up from the airport so you don’t have to drag your luggage up the hill.

We reserved a junior suite and were assigned Room 302. The room was spacious and quiet, with a terrific large terrace with spectacular views. TV was quite small and placed so as not to be watchable from the beds. Don’t understand the rave reviews for the breakfast - it would be fine, but nothing special, for a stay of a day or two, but limited selection with absolutely no variation day to day made it pretty poor for our six-day stay. Hot food was limited to scrambled eggs, baked beans and bacon every day.

The design felt a little more dated than some other properties we stayed at in Portugal, but it was still nice. Staff were attentive and efficient.

Both elevators were not working when we arrived- luckily we were on the 2nd floor so the walk with our luggage wasn’t too bad.

The street is for local traffic only at some times, so although we got dropped off right in front when we arrived, we had to walk a little bit with our luggage to meet the taxi when we left.
