Great front desk staff. Very helpful and pleasant. The roof top deck was great, especially in the evening when it was cooler.

Ruth

Loved having a cocktail overlooking the pool and rooftops of the city. Breakfast was lovely the first morning. The front desk people were very helpful.

Anne

United States of America

Very cool modern boutique hotel. It is tucked away down a small quiet deserted street but close to the main attractions. The staff was very helpful and nice. It only has around 44 rooms. There is a small pool, bar and tapas restaurant on the premise. It has beautiful views of the water. If you are looking for a typical big city hotel this is not the place for you. If you are looking for small boutique, quiet, beautiful design then this is a great hotel.

Gina

United States of America

The location was excellent, right in the middle of Alfama with amazing views. You can easily walk to pretty much everything from the hotel. Although it's in the heart of the city the hotel is very quiet and relaxing as it's tucked away on a pretty back street. The room was large and well laid out with a great bathroom and comfy bed. Breakfast was great, fresh fruit and pastries and hot food to order (and champagne as well which always helps). We would definitely come back again the next time we are in Lisbon.

“Modern hotel in central Alfama, with great views.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 5 nights
Sadly our flights were all delayed on the way out to Lisbon, and we did not arrive till 1:30am in the morning, and I'm sure because of this was given not the best room in the category we had paid for. The toilet would not flush, there was little to no storage for our clothes and belongings and there was no view or natural daylight. However we brought this to their attention the next day and we given a different room, which was much better.
The hotel is in a great location in central Alfama, and has great views from the terrace. The hotel is modern and boutique in style. The Breakfast is very good, and the terrace is open late for drinks and tapas. The staff are very attentive and helpful, and can make recommendations on restaurants and the local area.

“Gorgeous, gorgeous views from the decks!!”
- • Leisure trip

The front desk staff could not help with a couple of requests that I did not think were that difficult: mild food for my husband when he had food poisoning (after 45 minutes of trying to find a restaurant that would deliver white rice, I asked if there was a market nearby where I could buy what we needed and was surprised to find out there was one across the street!). And a request for a nearby restaurant with a great view for our last night. We got a restaurant that was quite a walk that barely had any view, and they had no record of any reservation for us. Also, the bar/food staff were ridiculously slow to bring food or to replenish supplies at breakfast.
The staff at the desk were very friendly but not always able to resolve my request. The best part of the hotel BY FAR was the view from the multiple very cool and comfortable decks!! Fantastic!
