If you want to stay in Alfama this is a great base. Very helpful and friendly staff, good facilities and great location, set in a quiet street with views from the room, but in the middle of Alfama. Slightly challenging to find but get the number 12 tram and its 3 minutes walk back along the street from the first... More

I thought I had booked Olissippo Lapa Palace for a very good price and was initially disappointed when I realized my mistake. Once I arrived all disappointment disappeared though. The hotel is big and elegant enough to give that extra feeling you want for a vacation but small enough to convey something out of the mainstream. The front desk staff... More

A lovely small hotel behind the Castelo Sao Jorge. Really not hard to get to but we went the wrong way around the castle (go Left from the trolley stop) and had a very long walk with suitcases on very bumpy cobblestone streets with narrow sidewalks from the trolley stop. A cab would have been smarter but we are adventuresome.... More

We were welcomed by Joana (I think) who is a credit to the hotel. She couldn't have been more helpful, checked that we weren't too tired and then out with a map to explain the local sights, transport and ticketing - brilliant. The hotel is right behind the castle in Lisbon, and well up a steep hill. However, it is... More

A really good hotel. Lovely rooms which if they're all like ours was enormous, excellent breakfast and really friendly helpful staff who could speak English and had no trouble recommending places to go, eat and ways to get there. Only criticism would be about the rooms which although non-smoking had clearly been smoked in and hence had a bit of... More

Lovely hotel in great location. Pleasant room with a private terrace, great for relaxing in the sunshine after climbing up the hill. No problems with breakfast being served in smart lounge/bar -continental is better than cooked. Joane at reception was very helpful - you can trust her restaurant recommendations. We would certainly stay there again. More

A beautiful boutique hotel nestled on the hill behind the Castelo. Our suite was opening onto a large terrace with two day beds and fantastic views of the nearby churches. No noise as the street is not opened to traffic. Only taxis and residents can travel around. Large bedroom with a well appointed bathroom. Nice buffet for breakfast, a very... More

Great location in the heart of the old town,very near the castle.It`s a nicely renovated old building and the interior has obviously been desigend with flair even if some of the furniture looks rather nicer on superficial inspection than it actually is. Check-in and check out were good. Room was very large,very clean.En-suite bathroom a reasonable size.Plenty of toiletries and... More
