First off, the elevador to the hotel is not working and looks like it won't be for awhile. This was an unpleasant surprise as it is a tough, tough haul to get to the hotel with your luggage. You either have to be in pretty good shape or pay for taxis every time you go out. The rooms we had... more

Hotel is great, the rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. beds are a bit hard, but i like that. The staff is extremely friendly, and have tips for everything. the staff speak excellent english. location is also great, just a walk down to the main square (rossio). The Lavra funiculer (city lift/elevator) is at this moment being renovated so... more

Lavra Guesthouse is a good value. We stayed there twice. Although the rooms and bathrooms were small, we enjoyed the great location and friendly staff. The only problem was in room 103; the bathroom smelled musty. They do not serve breakfast, but there are several nice snack shops and restaurants on the street in which to get great coffee and... more

Pros: location (5 min. walk from downtown (Rossio square)), price, friendly staff. Cons: very noisy. It's an old building, with wooden floors and creaking doors. We heard every single noise from the beedrooms around us. Not very amusing when your next door neighbours arrive at 2 am after a Fado evening. more

The hotel was very clean, but the room was small and basic. Great for the price! The reception staff where friendly and very helpful. Just 15 minutes walk to the old town and town squares with bars and restaurants. However it is up a very very steep hill. There is an elevator that goes up the hill but it wasn't... more

This guesthouse is a great meeting of location (always key!), great price (ditto!) and great design. From the moment you cross the threshold you're greeted by friendly people (offering you a shotglass of friendly local-made cherry liquor). Every room I've seen (6) has a great bit of design, and is extremely cosy, and it's really pleasant to stay. The top-floor... more

Me and my friend stayed 4 nights in Lavra Guesthouse, welcomed very friendly by the staff. We even get a large 3-person room in the same price. The guesthouse is located on a hill, but the Lavra funicular helps (untill 9pm). There a some food shops around, a nice barber shop down to the Rossio. The location of the guesthouse... more

The hotel is on a hill, so you are already high-up. I asked for a room as high as possible and got one on the fourth floor, with balcony; what a view! This is really a marvellous place to be: Good part of Lissabon, central, very nice and helpfull staff , great old building, nice mixture of old/new /modern furniture... more

We stayed in the guesthouse for 2 nights in March after travelling up to Lisbon on the bus from Albuferia. A quick note on the buses- very clean, comfortable and took less than 3 hours. The guest house is situated at the top of a fairly steep hill, but is really well placed in the city. It is about a... more
