    Not much. There was a smell of cooking emanating from a nearby restaurant chimney a couple of times but no other problems whatsoever.

    Well positioned, with excellent parking facilities. A calm oasis in the midst of a very busy city. The staff were diligent, welcoming ,attentive and delightful.

    A wonderful oasis from the busy city

    The place was a little hard to find and it would help if hotel were to give very specific instructions as to where Uber should drop off visitors and that there is short walk to the front door of the hotel, and that walk is up a slight hill. I didn't want to let the Uber driver leave until I was sure of where the hotel was located. A little confusing at first.

    Great room with wonderful, comfortable bed. Enough space for luggage and having a suite was extra nice. Bathroom and shower excellent. Good location in the city. Breakfast area and common areas were lovely. I especially love the art throughout the hotel. Many thanks for a very pleasant stay.

    My husband had to use the stairs and he has a bad back but that’s not the hotel’s responsibility. He did fine and they carried our luggage.

    Charming and beautiful. Lovely room above the pool. Beautiful breakfast in dining room every morning. Just perfect.

    Bolt drivers have difficulties to find the location. But the staf told us how to solve this problem. But in coming to the hotel we carried our lugage on the city center stairs …

    The terrace room is really great. You have a Nice view over the old city. Breakfast is very Nice and you can ask to bring the breakfast to the room and eat on the terrace. Location is 10 ! You’re direct in the city center.

    No complaints!

    A special location in the heart of the city. It is secluded behind a locked gate...very private and serene atmosphere. The staff was wonderful and breakfast was served in a beautiful room. Our room (The Cottage) was large and private and had it's own jacuzzi (we were not expecting this). Lovely stay and restaurants were in very close walking distance.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful answering questions before and during our stay. The grounds are gorgeous and the suite was exceptional with little touches of decor, a welcome bottle of wine, and homemade cake in the lounge. The pool is a beautiful and calm space. The room is quiet and hidden from the street, but centrally located. The breakfast was exceptional. This was our favorite place we stayed during our trip and would not hesitate to return.

    Hard to find on Google Maps. It is located on a small quiet street with no signs. Even our cab later had a hard time finding it.

    Like an oasis in the middle of the center of Lisbon! Super quiet, modern, clean with really helpful staff. The breakfast was 5 Star quality, their helpful recommendations of tours and restaurants were superb. We really loved staying our 4 night here and highly, highly recommended it!

    Casa Balthazar is a great boutique hotel. My husband and I stayed here several days for our first time in Lisbon. The location is great for sightseeing. It’s about halfway up between the Baixa and Bairro Alta, making it a good starting point to see sights in either neighborhood. It’s also close to public transportation. We used Uber quite a bit while in Lisbon, as well. The only downside to the location is that Ubers can’t turn down the narrow street, so they will drop off and pick up at the end of the street. It’s not a big deal as long as you don’t have mobility issues (and if you do, Lisbon is going to be difficult on the whole). We stayed in the Jacuzzi 1 room, and would highly recommend it. The room itself is comfortable and cozy. It has a small kitchenette and a bidet in the bathroom. The shower is very large and the water pressure is good. The real draw, though, is the private terrace and jacuzzi. You can’t beat the panoramic views over the city and out to the castle. I loved relaxing in the jacuzzi after long days of walking up and down the hills of Lisbon. The weather wasn’t great in Lisbon when we visited in late February, but even then, we got good use out of the terrace when it wasn’t raining. Finally, the staff at the hotel really went above and beyond on service. We messaged them in advance to let them know that we are vegan and asking if they could accommodate that at breakfast. I would have been fine if they said no, in which case we would have gone out for breakfast instead. But they were very responsive and provided a great breakfast every morning, including vegan yogurt, fruit, bread, and vegan meats and cheeses. It was nice that we were able to have something similar to what the “regular” breakfast was and didn’t feel left out! They also made coffee with soy milk, which was delicious and strong (necessary to have the energy for sightseeing).

    The rooms were a little dated. The bathrooms, while big, are older and the shower didn't drain quite properly and the towel warmers didn't work. It was still a very spacious bathroom.

    The location is very central to many things but still feels extremely private. The room was very large and comfortable. The staff was helpful and attentive and the continental breakfast was good.

    A minor gripe but there could have been some brighter light in the bathroom and bedroom.

    An excellent location for getting around. Our room, Ducce Gsrden, was a mini apartment with nice living area and kitchenette, good bathroom with walk-in shower and very comfortable bedroom with good wardrobe space. Very good breakfast and all staff were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.
