    It’s a bit challenging to arrive as the streets are very narrow and frequently taxis refuse to take you directly to the Hotel. Only Taxis and locals may drive those narrow roads. Unfortunately there are a vast number of unscrupulous taxis.

    It’s directly at The Castelo do São Jorge. A beautiful historical area filled with history and amazing architecture. The Hotel is comfortable and feels like you are a guest at the castle, complimentary Port wine, the breakfast is wonderful,and the staff is friendly and helpful.

    The only thing I would say is I didn't like the shower curtain but that is it! Staff was great!

    The beautiful atmosphere and grounds. Loved the location which is adjacent to the castle which was a highlight. Complementary port in the room. Very clean and comfortable bed and nice bedding. Good shower and pressure. Beautiful hotel with a lot of character.

    There was nothing we didn't like except leaving.

    The pripery is beautifully restored in castle and staff very helpful. Steep streets so plan to get there by taxi or shuttle. You can!walk to bus 727 to get to place de Figueroa or take tram 28 for exciting ride. Castle has amazing sunset views. Peacocks come to visit and always!coffee and tea and cakes in lobby and really good breakfast spread. Very relaxing atmosphere and beautifully decorated. Large courtyard with fountain and sitting area and books.

    It’s at the top of a very steep hill so access may be a bit of an issue…

    Next to the historic castle but an oasis of calm literally one street away from a heavy tourist. The rooms felt just the right size with an incredible mixing/breakfast area and a delightful outdoor space. Staff were incredibly friendly and were always available and really helpful. Continental breakfast was standard but the snacks left out for guests during the day were brilliant. Awesome

    Not really a problem but there is a fairly short steep hill up to the hotel from the bus and tram stops. Only certain taxis are able to access the hotel itself.

    The courtyard, breakfasts, comfortable bed, availability of water, tea, coffee & cake during the day. Also a glass of sparkling wine in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay.

    We understood at the time of booking what to expect… in reality this was exceeded… thank you.

    The location was great to get around OLD TOWN on foot, to travel into Lisbon city and local restaurants. Bespoke in style with courteous, friendly and easy going hospitality… the breakfast were plentiful, the hotel and our room was clean and well looked after… We appreciated the nice touches from complimentary “bubbles”, to pastries, coffee and Porto in the room… and the odd Peacock. Thank you !

    It’s a bit of a hike but the ambiance is worth it

    Beautiful property! I loved our stay here in the Alfama neighborhood. The beds were so comfy. The AC very nice. Has an elevator and the breakfast was perfect. It’s a bit of a walk up hill but you can grab a taxi if you need to. But lovely stay. It’s actually above the entrance to the castle. Great to spend the evenings there watching the sunset from the castle outdoor cafe. Also so close to the 28 tram line and Saint Antonino church and a pastel bakery with the same name (Sant Antonino) - the best! Grab one on the walk down the hill.

    My only complaint is our room was on the ground floor so not much air and light. In the future I will request a nicer accommodation.

    Absolutely amazing! Literally within the old medieval city walls. Proximity to the castle is ideal. The winding streets of the Alfama are so charming and the views from the hilltop are lovely. The hotel has a delicious breakfast spread, treats available all day and champagne available each evening. Quaint courtyard to enjoy all of the above!
