Lavra GuestHouse  

The location was excellent, the service very good and welcoming.

The room was rather small and the interior design cold. The door to the room was right by the main staircase so it was noisy.

Great location, friendly stuff, tidy room.

Maybe we were unkucky, but we lived in a very small room with a little window which was more like a hole in a roof, than a window. It seemed to me like living in a hobbit squat than in a hotel room. Breakfast was poor (continental one with 3 types of bread), but it is not included so you'd better choose another cosy place to eat. No elevator was crucial for my suitcase: now it is almost dead after climbing on the 4th floor. In spite all of this the place is nice with great location, in the very center, so if you manage to get bigger room everything will be ok.

Reception staff were very nice and the room was very clean and cosy. The location of the hotel is at a walking distance from the city main square, so very practical.

Very quiet, close to rossio square and hight standards for an affordable price

An hotel full of charm, the nicest staff ever and a great location! I will come back for sure!

Great location. Good price breakfast. Nice rooms

Noisy room next to the staircase as could hear everyone going up and down in the morning. Pillows not big/full enough.

It was a nice room (art deco style). The building itself was pretty nice (older building in the center of town). The rate was decent. The shower was nice.

As with much of the trip across Spain and Portugal, there was effectively no heat (a small radiator that gave off heat to half foot radius). No central unit in the room. Could not get online. Password that was given did not work and signal was 'very weak'. Talked to desk and he came up and tried and could not get online. He said he would look into it and never came back. Had to use iPhone for browsing nearby activities. No phone in the room. No view with the room we had and did not like the location. We had stayed in Lisbon for a couple nights early on in the trip and wanted to try a new part of town, but this hotel seemed close to nothing. It was in the city centre as promised and not touristy which was good, just didn not see any restaurants near or bars (maybe didn't take the correct turn if there was one) and little was open. No tv in the room. Not that we were going to watch for a long time, but while I am searching on iPhone for Fado show because of the lack of internet, it would have been nice to my friend to get her mind off of the room's coldness.

We had such a wonderful stay, we booked for 2 more nights at the end of our trip :)

We have stayed at Lavra Guesthouse for 4 nights - the location of the hotel is great - very pictursque terace with beautiful castle view, 10 minutes walk to the main Rossio square - for lazy guests - possibility to use Lavra elevator from Restauradores square. The interior simply but very nicely arranged, clean room, friendly staff. I truly recommend this place expecially for couples who do not want to overpay.

Grand old building. Great views from rooftop terrace. Very helpful staff who speak many languages. Fairly central location at the top of the Lavra Funicular. Lots of inexpensive authentic retaurants on the same street.

Too much street noise - no A.C. to block it out. Beds were quite small. Bathroom way too small. Could do without bidet so you could close bathroom door. Perched at the top of a hill which meant a lot of uphill walking when funicular wasn't running.

I like the decoration of the room.

No elevator and on the mountain.

energizing walk up beautiful old narrow cobble stone streets, taking you away from the busy streets. great views from the balcony over the city of Lisbon to the river.friendly helpful staff... and affordable.
