The Lisboa Pessoa Hotel garners widespread acclaim for its prime location, making it a breeze for guests to explore Lisbon's attractions. The hotel's amenities, including a complimentary mini-bar, scenic rooftop, and serene spa facilities, are often highlighted by satisfied visitors. Cleanliness is another strong suit, with numerous travelers describing the rooms as immaculate and cozy. Service at the hotel is top-notch, with many guests complimenting the staff's professionalism and warmth. Although the atmosphere is praised for blending historical charm with modern comforts, some guests feel the rooms could be brighter and more spacious. Despite its many positives, the hotel's value is occasionally questioned due to additional costs for parking and breakfast.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and were originally given room 005 but owing to the noisy drilling taking place opposite we were moved to room 218. Although we were 2 floors up we were still at pavement level owing to the hotel being on a hill. The noise, however, didn't come from the outside, it came from within the hotel - neighbours talking, toilets flushing - we could hear it all.

The room had a very large bed (although hubby found the pillows uncomfortable), a good selection of TV channels, excellent wifi, lovely bathroom products, a decent size safe, slippers and dressing gowns, a nice fridge with freebie snacks and soft drinks but best of all a mini kettle. the only downside was the bifold shower door as it didn't shut properly meaning that water was always leaking out. I also learnt early on that the loo seat was not a soft close.

The buffet breakfast offered a good selection including fizz, and eggs could be made to specification. We visited the bar on a couple of occasions but found their cocktails quite expensive. Port is given as a welcome drink but I avoided the custard tarts as they weren't covered and I let the mini flies enjoy them instead. The gym was really functional and spotlessly clean as was everywhere else in the Lisboa Pessoa.

Excellent service and friendly staff where nothing was too much trouble plus this hotel is only a short walk from the Santa Justa lift, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, squares and the Doll Hospital as seen on TV. We even took a lovely leisurely walk to the Santo Amaro dock for our Hippo trip Amphibious sightseeing tour. We booked tickets for this at the hotel and I would recommend this as staff were able to tell us which time slots still had availability. They also helped us in choosing a tram that would allow us to explore the parts of Lisbon of interest to us. We chose number 28 as it dropped us off directly opposite the São Jorge Castle where we also visited Lisbon's highest historical tower.

All in all a lovely stay at a lovely hotel. My advice would be to use an Uber from the airport to the hotel. We didn't and it cost us almost 25 euros compared to 9 euros using an Uber upon our return.

Stayed here for a few night during my business trip after spending 4 terrible nights at another hotel. I was a little early for check-in but felt instantly home after being welcomed by the friendly and professional staff Joana. She also gave me a bunch of very helpful tips of what to do, eat and where to shop while I was in the area. The room was good and quiet like requested and my bags where carried to my room while I waited for it to be ready and was treated to a glass of red wine on the top floor restaurant that also has a great view of the city. Couldn’t have had a better welcome and my stay there was perfect, but the welcome really set a higher standard! Will definitely stay there again if I’m ever in Lisbon!

Fantastic hotel!
We checked in on my birthday and when we came back from exploring the city there was a bottle of bubbles and cake set up on the table in our room. A nice surprise, given we didn’t even tell them it was my birthday. We also were given a voucher for a
Free welcome drink to be redeemed upstairs in the bar on the top floor.
The bed was nice and comfortable, and you have air con but we only needed it on the last night as we just opened the windows once we got back and got a nice breeze from that. The shutters are also great at blocking the light out although there is a long crack of light on the side of the door so wear an eye mask if you need total darkness.
The shower is great and the marble make its feel very luxurious
The spa facilities are lovely, if you want to swim in the pool you will need to purchase a swim cap for €6 , we just stuck to the sauna and steam room which were delightful.
We also organised to have a couples just relax massage, with added deep tissue massage. I had Pedro and he was fantastic, very calm and relaxed voice, checking in on pressures etc and really pushed deep on my upper and mid back when I asked which was very needed.
I used the gym once, which is decent, it’s more of a home gym set up, with one treadmill, one elliptical, one spinning bike and then a rack of weights and one bench. So great if you’re on your own but might be a bit crowded in peak season I imagine.

Overall we had a lovey stay and would be very happy to return. It’s got a great location and even had a vegan restaurant outside if that is your preference!

The review do not lie--this is an absolute gem of a hotel in the heart of Lisbon. We stayed 3 nights at the beginning of our trip to Portugal and loved everything moment. The breakfast buffet had a wonderful selection, the staff couldn't have been more helpful with suggestions on restaurants in the area and the actual location of the hotel was perfectly situated for easy walking to anything we wanted to do. The Unique Room (aka mini suite) was very spacious and the air conditioning was a welcomed relief from the hot July summer weather. By far the best hotel I have ever stayed at throughout Europe.

We had a relatively great experience at this quaint hotel in Lisbon! Let me start with the pros:

• When there were any issues, they fixed them quite quickly
• Great location
• Room was fantastic (however there was a glitch, read the cons)
• People were pleasant to deal with
• Beautiful rooftop bar
• Location was perfect and tucked away next to a cute courtyard
• Room had a beautiful view of the city with a terrace and chairs to relax on after a long day
• Free upgrade due to the issues we were having
•They sent up a dessert and a bottle of sparkling wine as they knew it was my birthday
• Free replenished mini bar (chips, chocolate bars, water, juice, beer)

The cons:
• Our first room wasn't great. We didn't realize until we got to it that it was facing a restaurant that enjoyed pumping music until midnight and that we were next to the elevator. All night we heard people getting on and off the elevator as well as the elevator cables through the very thin wall. We also had an issue with the shower head which was quickly fixed by a super nice repair man. Also, oddly, the bathroom in the first room was carpeted which felt a bit gross to me.
• We paid quite a bit to stay here and when we visited the spa just for a swim and sauna, we were charged $12 for bathing caps? This seemed a bit frugal and took away from the experience to charge paying guests for this.

Overall, if you book this place, upgrade yourself to a room with a terrace. You'll get beautiful views and likely a better experience without the sound issues. Staff were pleasant and the building was very cleaned and well maintained.

Response from Art and Soul Group, Marketing at Lisboa Pessoa Hotel
Responded Jun 26, 2022
Dear Kyle, Many thanks for your detailed feedback! We are glad that your review was generally very positive. We have ground floor rooms. We understand that you initiate your stay in one of them. Our windows are soundproof, but depending on the time of day, there may be some street noise due to being on a ground floor. That kind of noise that you report (loud music) and till late on the evening it is not usual.. With regard to the SPA, the value of the cap will only be applied if you have not brought a cap from home or cannot buy it outside the hotel. Our team is focused on the experience of our guests. We hope you come back soon for an even more satisfying stay. Kind regards, Lisboa Pessoa Hotel team

We stayed at the Lisbon Pessoa for 5 nights in April 2022. We chose the hotel largely on location and the reviews and we were not disappointed.
The staff were great from arrival to departure and were attentive and friendly.
The hotel is very comfortable having been refurbished, retaining the intimate feel in a modern way. Our room was of a good size and everything was as it should be - plenty of storage space, hot shower in a decent sized bathroom. The rooms were cleaned daily and to a good standard. The mini bar was also replenished with beer/coke/fruit juice/crisps and kit-kat daily! Fluffy towels and robes as well !
Breakfast was good and there was a good selection with fresh fruit, continental style meats and cheeses, cereal, yoghurts, a cooked selection and croissants, muffins and pancakes.
We used the spa each night which was a great way to unwind for 45 minutes before heading out again!
The hotel was well located to visit the main areas of Lisbon by foot and a short walk to the front, main square and ferry terminal. Five minutes from Rossio station to get a train to Sintra. Lots of good cafes and quiet bars nearby.
I would definitely stay here again

We were so glad we chose this hotel! The location on a quiet street was close to any direction we chose to head out making it perfect. We had a large king suite with a sitting area and a very large bath and dressing area. The mini bar was filled w/ items like water, soda and simple snacks that were included in the rate which was a nice touch.

The hotel had a restaurant and rooftop bar with nice views and we enjoyed cocktails up there. There was also a gym and spa downstairs. The massage that my partner got was reported as wonderful. There was a pool there as well as a stem room and sauna.

The staff was very kind and so helpful. This was an excellent choice for our stay in Lisbon at the start of our trip. Lovely.

We had a three night stay. Fantastic hotel with absolutely exceptional service. Great location in the heart of downtown, steps to shops and restaurants. The rooms we lovely. We had a terrace room on the 4th floor which provided a nice view of the city. Rooms were clean and lots of amenities. The only drawback about the rooms is that there is not a lot of space to store/place your toiletries. Always had to jostle things around.

Restaurant on the 5th floor provides fantastic buffet breakfast - everything you could want. Great rooftop bar/terrace with exceptional views of the city.

Best part about this hotel is the service. They booked tours for us, recommended restaurants and did anything they could to help make our stay more pleasant. We had a small car accident in the parking garage and the staff helped us immensely in dealing with the insurance company and getting things sorted for us. Pedro is the best!

I made a reservation to go and spend 5 nights this coming January 2022. Reservation policy states that if canceled 24 hrs within the c/i time, first night will be charged. Fine, and I did agree with it, but this the same policy is has been in place way before the pandemic started. This has changed in the las 2 years and, it is very impossible to predict Covid restrictions and policies country by country. We have been on top of airlines around the world to make refunds pain-free and so far airlines have been very flexible about it. On the other side of the story, no one is paying attention to hotels, which are not willing to make cancelations fair to the current times, even though they are not fully booked at all. I contacted this property and I was being told that they will proceed with the cancelation fee. Well, thank you very much! I am a believer that rules are there for a reason, but thinking outside the box it is an important part of customer service this day, with all changing minute after minute.

After spending a week traveling through Portugal, we were looking to really relax and unwind on our last evening. The Lisboa Pessoa is well situated off a side street but near several squares and lots of action. We were in room 001 on the ground floor with our window opening right on to the sidewalk and passersby...and we didn't hear any noise all night! Wooden shutters help block out sound and light. The room was large (similar to hotel rooms in the USA) and the bed, pillows and linens were the most comfortable out of the 6 other hotels we stayed in this week.

If you are driving, make sure to reserve a space in the hotel's private garage. It is well worth the peace of mind and was much less expensive than the public garage.

We chose to "stay in" and had dinner at the restaurant upstairs, which turned out to be a great choice. Beautiful views from the top floor and really good food with nice presentation. Price was reasonable.
