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.

The location was up a steep hill and a bit out of the way. Most users do not go right up to hotel so u have to walk up hill

Loved the hotel and room. Very comfortable

Beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful, very clean, away from the crowds. Blended in beautifully with the castle.

Nothing, everything was spot on.

Everything. The staff, the room, the port each day restocked. Evening drinks and tea, coffee and pastries available all day. Location was perfect for us being right by the castle and quieter part of the city, especially at night

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.

Lots of special touches (complimentary sparkling wine, free pastries, a decanter of port in the room). Amazing location: right next to the castle. Fantastic patio courtyards to relax in.

We loved the charm of the castle & location, the amazing breakfast and friendly staff. We also appreciated the comfortable bed and water pressure.

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 !

Solar do Castelo is a beautiful hotel hidden away in a quiet street beside the castle. We loved the tasteful decor, the excellent friendly service, the leisurely breakfasts and the relaxed atmosphere that was welcome after touring the city each day.

Mattress wasn't the most comfy, for me, apart from that I wouldn't change a thing.

Breakfast was great, lots to choose from. Location was excellent, very high, but nice and quiet once you get there apart from the the Peacocks, but they live there lol. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The Hotel it self is very pretty and well kept. Would recommend.

Very noisy peacocks on fortress grounds that honk & squawk day & night which can become distracting, particularly when trying to sleep

Wonderful location in old centre of Lisbon within fortress walls. Authentic boutique hotel with loads of character

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.

Trouble with access to the hotel when we first arrived because the taxi couldn't get up the hill because the road was closed.

The excellent modernisation of this historic property. The attractive area around the hotel The breakfast buffet

Stayed in June 2025

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!

Uber would not go to the facility and we had to walk 600 meters uphill with our bags. We weren’t told only taxi could go to the property

Just a beautiful property.
