Room was clean, well equipped and comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Hotel is a great location with quick walkable access to restaurants and local attractions. Cold continental breakfast had a good selection.
Wonderful river view from the room; easily accessible to public transport and walkable around city centre and Alfama areas. Very nice continental breakfast.
I loved staying here. It’s a great property and the staff is very kind and accommodating. The surrounding area is fantastic and you feel like you are right close to great food and activities. The metro is just across the street, and it’s a short walk to the train to Sintra or Cascais. The buffet breakfast was fresh and delicious. I love spending time here and will definitely come back if I’m in the area!
This hotel had confortable, newly renovated rooms with modern amenities. The entire staff was friendly and always ready to help. Location of the hotel is great witin the city, close to public tansit.
This hotel is in the centre of everything! The friendly desk staff are always willing to give tips about what to see and how to get there! Only minutes from bus, Metro and tram stops. And the restaurants nearby are superb!
The location is amazing with an ocean view. Right in the historic part of town with so many attractions at walking distance. Affordable, but the breakfast buffet can use some variety.

Clean and modern room which as spacious for the two of us. Great proximity to public transportation
The hotel was very clean and quiet, despite being next to an open plaza. The beds were very comfortable, and we were able to sleep well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When our Uber did not show at 6:15 am to get to the bus depot, the front desk clerk was able to get a taxi there within minutes. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, and we could walk to the castle in 10-15 minutes. The breakfast was breads, cheese, meat, fruit, yogurt, etc.. a simple but nice selection to start the day. Highly recommend this hotel!
The staff is excellent. Very helpful, kind, and generous with their time & advice. The room was spacious, clean, quiet, and air conditioned. Also the breakfast is very good!
Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, let us store our bags on the last day so we could explore and come back after check out before leaving for our flight. We had an early morning tour one day and they offered to start breakfast half an hour earlier for us.
Great at making recommendations and if you need their assistance with anything, changing reservations etc.
Room was great for what we needed. Comfortable and roomy and well equipped
Frindly and efficient check-in. Nice breakfast. Modern, comfortable, clean and quiet room. Excellent location within close promity to historic sights and excellent restaurants. Less than 20 minute walk to train station.
