Solar Dos Mouros  

Stylish-Boutique hotel overlooking Lisbon and 3 minutes walk to the Castle. Very stylish large rooms with arty feel , modern bathrooms in heritage listed 19th century-renovated 6 storey building - beware no lifts/elevators however staff will carry all baggage to/from suite. No restaurant but lovely light breakfast included in tariff. Several very inexpensive restaurants nearby. Reception staff/manager excellent and very obliging - fluent english and prepared to prebook onward flights arrange transfers etc. We would stay there again - that is always the best test.

no elevators and steep stairs - baggage not an issue but be prepared to climb stairs to your room several times a day = not a problem for the average mobile tourist - critic is 60.

When we arrived Thomas, who is wonderful by the way, offered us two other choices in rooms if we wanted to upgrade. They were in two different price points and due to the magnificent view from the top floor room, we decided upon the most expensive room. Thomas did offer us a discount on the room. The view from the roof top deck is breath taking, looking over the city and onto the water. We had our evening appetizers and drinks there every day and really relaxed, taking in the beauty that is Lisbon. The location is right by the Castle and we were happy with the area's closeness to the town, restaurants, etc...however, it is on a hill so you do get your exercise in daily. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful with recommendations.

The room with the beautiful view did come with some downsides such as the pitch of the roof in the room, particularly the bathroom making it difficult for my husband to stand in the shower, but we saw this before taking the room. The plumbing in the shower needs to be replaced, the shower handle not staying in place to take your shower. The room also was not well insulated so we were rather cold in the evening and the room became very warm during the day, but this was a minor thing.

The room was well designed

In general I found this hotel to be overpriced and not so great. There were works taking place in the common area so I was asked to take breakfast in my room. I was in the cheaper room without the view so that option wasn't so nice. No internet in the rooms themselves and I found one of the staff members to be quite rude. They wanted to charge me 20% to check in a couple of hours earlier when not a single person was staying there. I checked out early from this hotel and stayed somewhere else.

Very good emplacement, very nice design of the rooms, very clean...everything was at the highest level! Congratulations!

The hotel location was superb, near downtown and near the Castle of Sao Jorge with splendid view. The rooms were spacious and beautiful decorated with modern paintings and bright colours. We had one room with view towards the river and downtown and one towards the street/ castle wall. We had no trouble with noise and found the stay very relaxing. Very nice with a coffee machine in the room with river view. We very much appreciated one of the male receptionists, who was very helpful and nice.

The beds are far from soft, but this was the case in all the hotels we stayed in Portugal.

Clean and nica staff

The ambience and decor was great, and some of the staff were great, but one staff member was unfriendly.

Internet in lobby only - this is 2011 already

Quarto e vista fantástica

A amplitude do quarto, claridade, vista , a cama extremamente confortável,decoração do quarto. A decoração de todo o hotel, que é muito relaxante. Sente-se em casa neste hotel, sem formalidades e se é muito bem atendido. A localização para nós é muito boa pois fica na parte histórica da cidade.

Não ter um serviço de quarto, principalmente à noite.

Die Lage ist großartig, das Personal professionell.

Unser Zimmer war etwas hellhörig. Die Umgebung ansich ist zwar sehr ruhig, vor dem Zimmer (Santana) liegt allerdings eine Metalltreppe, die ziemlich laut sein kann.

J'ai aimé la situation, le charme de l’hôtel, l'accueil. Une chambre spacieuse avec vue sur le tage.

Le lit trop mou
