A lovely hotel on a hill.
Pros:

This was our first time in Principe Real and this hotel was a lovely way to experience the neighborhood. A 6 minute walk up hil leads you to nightlife and restaurants, a botanical garden and an interesting store filled with local businesses. A 10-15 min walk down hill puts you in the middle of Avenida da Liberdade with access to busses, trains and everything else you could need.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and professional. The breakfast was hot and fresh every morning and it was a great way to start the day. The hotel is located in a neighborhood on an incline so be aware and prepared to walk. Otherwise it's a quiet street and when we didn't feel like walking up or down, we were able to have a car service pick us up easily. A lovely hotel tucked away in a great part of town. We will definitely be coming back.

Pros:

Wonderful staff shared some great tips on local restaurants. Outside of the hotel had a lot of construction due to development but that was beyond the control of the establishment. That will settle down.

Pros:

Love that it had breakfast included and free parking, the two reasons why I picked this hotel in the first place! Location was the best! Close to everything within walking distance. Service was top notch! Special thanks to both Joãos and Diogo. Also the ladies serving breakfast! Thank you for being so nice. Although an older hotel and some construction around it, I highly recommend Principe Real!

Pros:

Once you understand that Lisbon is a hilly city and that this hotel is on a hill you can decide if it's good for you. We loved it because you get a real feel of Lisbon "life" staying here. It's in a residential neighbor hood; restaurants, shops, parks, transportation are very close by. The staff is great, the rooms are comfortable and the included breakfast is great and convenient. Very enjoyable

Good location but pricey, given the facilities
Pros:

If u like space to walk about, this hotels room is NOT for u !
Breakfast is 4 star as are the room prices for what is a 3-star hotel!
Bathrooms are disproportionately large with the bedroom being small & tight, making movement for two awkward and irritating! Balconies are a great reprieve! A shining star is Joao, the night receptionist.

Pros:

The photo that is shared for rooms and restaurant is totally different than the reality. The blankets were old and doesn't look clean. The door locks were old and unsafe. The bathroom was old. In general I didn't feel conformable and left the room without refund for the second night. However I should confuse that Expedia promise me to refund the money back to my account

Wonderful Stay
Pros:

Very friendly & helpful staff. Our room ended up being a large suite. The bathroom was large & clean. Our only complaint was that the bed could have been more comfortable. Breakfast was good, too! I would recommend this little hotel to anyone. Not super plush or fancy,but perfect for us!

Pleasant hotel in good location
Pros:

Good location (within walking distance from Bairro Alto and Praça do Comércio) with friendly and helpful staff. The bathroom was not the most hygienic (bathtub was quite moldy, the toilet not cleaned properly) but otherwise the room was clean. We were a little surprised that breakfast was not buffet style - instead, you can order from a menu that is quite limited but the food is really good and fresh.

Pros:

Nice hotel within walking distance to lots in Lisbon. Street parking is available, we were lucky enough to find a spot right out front. The rooms are on the older side, however everything is clean. They offered a great complimentary sit down breakfast.

Pros:

Older building. Has a few issues. Needs some work. The rooms were large. The hallways were large but also had an echo. Others were not so kind about slamming doors late or early. Understand they want to build a new hotel next door and then redevelop the existing building.
