Categories

Cleanliness
9
Multiple guests explicitly note rooms are clean and the hotel is described as 'lovely and clean'. One report of late housekeeping service (rooms not cleaned until 5pm) slightly tempers the otherwise strong cleanliness sentiment.
Service
9.3
Staff repeatedly described as extremely friendly, professional and helpful; rooftop staff are praised as attentive. A minority report lapses in attention to detail and an instance where staff lacked understanding/apology regarding a private event, which reduces the score slightly from perfect.
Location
9.8
Consistently described as 'perfect', 'super central', ideal for exploring Alfama and Lisbon; praised for being central yet quiet — overwhelmingly positive location sentiment.
Room Quality
9
Rooms are described as clean, comfortable, simple and elegant by many guests. Some guests note rooms can be small, basic, or noisy (behind the bar or due to city festivities), so quality is high but not uniformly luxurious.
Amenities
9.6
Rooftop bar/terrace, pool, excellent breakfast, free guided neighborhood tour and complimentary afternoon coffee/water are repeatedly praised; strong amenity offering overall.
Value for Money
7.9
Several guests felt the hotel is expensive for the level of luxury and mentioned attention-to-detail issues; others implicitly accept the price given location and amenities. Overall value scores lower due to cost complaints.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Breakfast is described as amazing, very lovingly prepared, with delicious pastries and options to order additional items; food and rooftop drinks receive consistent praise (minor note requesting whole milk).
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall guest sentiment is highly positive — 'excellent', 'highly recommended', 'oasis in Lisbon' — with the rooftop, staff and location frequently highlighted as making stays memorable.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Pros:

Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is in a fabulous location, in the old Alfama region of Lisbon. The room was very comfortable too. The staff were very good and did everything they could to ensure we had what we needed throughout our stay.

Cons:

I would have used the roof top pool, but it is located in the middle of the terrace where people are eating, so I didn't feel comfortable to go in it, although the weather was very hot! The drinks and food prices at the hotel are very high which put us off eating there.

Very disappointing, and very over priced.
Pros:

Wonderful roof terrace views.

Cons:

The room was small and needs refurbished. Breakfast was chaos - too stylish for its own good. No labels on tins of teas, orange juice in a hidden refrigerator, only hot Mike for cereal.

If I ever go back to Lisbon, I would look to stay there again.
Pros:

I enjoyed being in that part of the city, it provided the right atmossphere for our journey. The views were spectacular. The staff were excellent.

Cons:

I'm not a heavy breakfast person, I would have liked the option just for a cup of coffee and a small pastry, but that was not available.

Schönes, zentrales Stadthotel
Pros:

Wir hatten ein modernes Zimmer mit einem großen Außenbereich mit tollem Blick über die Alfama.

Die zentrale Lage war auch angenehm, die Haupattraktionen konnten zu Fuß oder mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreicht werden.

Cons:

Nichts
