Olissippo Castelo  

A really nice hotel situated in the Alfama district. The city center and the main attractions can be reached down the hill on foot within 10 minutes. The best way to go back to the hotel at night is by taxi (cheap, costs around EUR 5,-). A lot of typical portugese restaurants are located near to this small hotel (try "Tasca do Manel"). The hotel rooms are extremly comfortable, the service quality is outstanding. Book a romm with a small terrace - the view over Lisbon is - especially at night - amazing!!! I definitly recommend this hotel!

Hotel was excellent.I had said it was our anniversary and we had a complimentary bottle of bubbly in our room when we arrived which was much appreciated. Terrace was lovely especially at night sitting overlooking Lisbon.Breakfast good as well. Reception staff spoke very good English and were very helpful.

Only small point seats on terrace were for lounging in the sun and not for sitting enjoying a drink and a chat.Also the hill it is on is certainly steep may not be for everyone, trams going up and down help, but they were always packed.

The hotel has a great location and wonderful staff. Our room was very comfortable with a big balcony. Breakfast was also very good with plenty choice. We all really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. The walk to the castle is best if you go right as you exit of the hotel. Three restaurants are off to the left as you exit the hotel. We ate in Costa do Castelo and had a good meal. We also ate in the hotel.Be sure to do tram 28 and try the custard tarts !

The staff were especially nice and helpful in every way! I would choose to stay at Olissippo Castelo again and will recommend your hotel to family and friends. The price and location were great. Even though I was in meetings at the Congress Center for most of my time in Lisbon, I felt like I got to experience a bit of the city and people by staying at your hotel.

The walls are a bit thin (not much you can do about that, though) so could hear showers, toilets and voices. Fortunately the other guests on my floor were mostly quiet, so was not a big problem.

Nice location. Very friendly staff, helpful. Included breakfast is a nice touch.

The mattress was a bit to hard.

The hotel staff was very friendly and accomodating.

The mattress was hard as a board.

The hotel is situated in a very convenient place for sightseeing around Lisbon, it is within walking distance of many places, also the tram is at the end of the road which is convenient for going downtown. The Alfama area of town is just a few roads away and this is a very interesting part of Lisbon. There are many restaurants close by so after a busy day sightseeing it is easy to have a meal in the evening. The hotel serves a very good breakfast with lots of choice and starting from 7.30am to 11.30am will suit early or late risers. The staff were helpful and cheerful and always happy to help with suggestions and directions.

The hotel's location is great - it is on a calm street closed to main traffic and at the same time close to the city's attractions. Our room and bathroom were big and very comfortable, clean and with a very nice complimentary kettle for the afternoon tea and coffee. Breakfast was great, with fruit, cereal, good bread, juices etc. Staff was always helpful and had excellent tips about where to go and how to get from one place to another. Very good benefit for the cost.

The room service menu is very limited: a few sandwiches and omelettes. They were good, but when the third night came for us to order food in the room, we wished we had more choice. Also, the room still had one of those old TVs, it is time for them to think about a flat-screen.

It was clean and the frontdesk staff were friendly enough.

I do not believe it can be a 4 star hotel. The towels are thin and well used, but clean. We specially booked the superior room, but it was not anything like it shows on the internet. The kids room was actually bigger than ours but had 2 beds in it, but a lot cheaper. I saw many other 4 star hotels in the area and this does not compare to that at all. The breakfast is not wonderful and stays exactly the same every morning. The coffee is awful. The cooked food and coffee taste like it was made the previous day.

Very nice hotel. Staff was great. Breakfast was very nice. Close to the castle. Very hilly. Not for people that are not in shape.

Location in a lovely area near Castello de Sao Jorge one of the big tourist attractions in Lisbon was great.. It's a small hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I was upgraded to a suite which was very large and comfortable. The view from my room .was beautiful. The bed was comfortable and it was very quiet. It's close to the route of the nr 28 tram which brings you to the city centre. Breakfast was good.There was free internet..

If you are a solo female traveller as I was for two nights of a four night stay you might prefer a hotel in a busier more downtown location in a more touristy area.

Convenience to castle and old part city; spacious, comfortable room with great view; good breakfast

Didn't have a restaurant; from outside, the area is a little rundown, although the hotel itself is very pleasant

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms with a balcony were lovely and comfortable. The location was great, very close to the castle, in a quiet area not too far (15min walk) from center of town.

The breakfast was adequate but not amazing, I prefer more options. There were a lot of steps involved walking to/from city center. We were two 35 yo women in fairly good shape and we were always winded getting back, but we enjoyed the exercise.
