The staff were amazing, all of them were extremely helpful. The view was great and the location was awesome! The hotel is by the castle, so we always started our day walking down hill. There are many options for getting back up to the hotel, if you don’t want to walk.

Perfect breakfast buffet each morning. The hotel staff were helpful with any questions we had. Our room was large and the bathroom was large as well. Our room had two easy chairs for relaxing when we came back to the room after a busy day sightseeing (this seems to be lacking in most hotel rooms).

Nothing.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who made us very welcome - even down to quickly providing ice for an injured knee!! The rooms were very well-appointed and spacious. The breakfast choice was wide and tasty and the bar service was excellent too - and not expensive either. Thank you for a wonderful visit to Lisbon.

The view of the city is fantastic. The bottle of Porto to welcome guests. And the breakfast, both English and continental.

Bad start to day.

“Lovely little hotel in Alfama”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights

It may be due for a bit of a refurb at some point, though not pressing. The location on a hilltop means lots of climbing so one to keep in mind for anyone with any mobility restrictions. I don’t like single use items which abound (butter, olive oil, toiletries) but it’s more of a broader issue in Portugal. Nothing to bemoan beyond this.
Great location near the castle, some of the rooms boast fantastic views of the city, large and comfortable rooms. Lovely staff- very helpful, plus offered us a complimentary bottle of bubbly. Very good pasties for breakfast.
