Fairly basic small hotel perfectly located in central Lisbon. The lift stops at the 4th floor, so you have to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs if you are on the 5th floor. No bar or leisure facilities, although there is a room on the 1st floor with complimentary coffee , fruit and biscuits. Very small window in room 503, with a view of a small alley and air con units. However, the location is great, and the staff very friendly and extremely helpful, Would recommend for a good value short break, and we would stay here again.
We stayed here last week, after flying into Lisbon for the Braga-Wolves football game. The room had great access for me, being disabled and the staff there, treated us like Royalty. Nothing was too much trouble for them
The hotel is in the old town. It is 3* only but the room we had is a 5* one. Large, spacious and well appointed. It is in an excellent location for the exploration of the old city, minutes away from the Santa Justa elevator, the Rossio railway station (that leads to Sintra) and many other interesting places. Staff are excellent as well. The only thing is that, if you stay for a week, you get bored with the breakfast which is always the same and somewhat restricted (I would say at best a 3* one). Mind you, be prepared for some noise - tram passes by and since Lisabon is hilly, the brakes do squeak.
We were really surprised that the8 downtown hotel is 4*. We probably were out of our mind paying 908€ for 5 night!!!! The location is really central and interior is very sweet but that all.Our suite was quiet big. Carpets at the bed should be washed cause they smell so bad that I hardly could sleep. The bathroom is awful, there is mould in shower cabin and shower door that we didnt risks to shower without flip-flops. The towel were with dirty black marks and seedy. There was coffee station in second floor where you can make espresso and tea, take some cookies and fruits. It's nice idea but the plastic small cups and plus always half empty fruit plate reminds me cheap hostel for students. The separate story is breakfast. The small croissant taste like plastic ones, fried eggs bad as well. Coffee taste like instant even yogurt bad quality. The food always missing what I can understand cause one person who serves cannot fry eggs, refill the buffett. So had breakfast twice in hotel. It's not important variety at the breakfast, eggs coffee, yogurt and muesli some fruits and vegetables but it should be tasty that guests start their day with pleasure))))) I highly do not recommend to stay in the8 downtown hotel is not worth the money.…
Just had 5 nights at The 8, upon arrival lovely welcome which followed though every day with the pleasant staff. First impression when you enter is nice hotel, old building with modern touches however as you approach the lift the most horrendous piece of stained carpet which is most off putting surely this could be changed! We didn’t use the lift after 1st day with luggage as were on floor 2 and everyday we discussed why they hadn’t changed the price of carpet. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable. Tv has English speaking programmes which was nice in a European hotel even just for background noise. If you are a light sleeper then Suggest earplugs as being wooden floors it can be very noisy. Breakfast was simple but very good, no complaints and again lovely staff. Not sure about communial area, the coffee machine wasn’t very good and on the two occasions I used it there was no milk. Don’t normally criticise on reviews but these are so minor could be put right very easily. Overall we had a fab stay in this wonderful city the location well outweighs the negatives. …
