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:

Nous avons surtout été agréablement surpris du service à la clientèle impeccable. Nous avons été traiter comme des rois. La localisation était parfaite et la vue du roof top. Déjeuner délicieux. Toute les attention du personnel. Je reviendrais sans hésiter si j’ai la chance de revenir à Lisbonne. Et je recommande également sans hésiter.

Ten hotel nie ma słabych stron
Pros:

Pokój czysty, łóżko bardzo wygodne, a okna wyciszają hałas z ulicy do zera. Można się wyspać i odpocząć.
Personel bardzo miły i zawsze chętny do pomocy.
Śniadanie nie jest jakieś bardzo różnorodne, ale to co jest oferowane, jest najwyższej jakości i zupełnie wystarczające. Kanapki na ciepło (the iberian way), jogurt z musem mango i owoce - TOP!
Ogólnodostępny taras z urzekającym widokiem na rzekę, gdzie serwowane są tapas i drinki - tu się odpoczywa w wersji slow motion!

Cons:

Brak słabych punktów

Heerlijke, prachtig ontworpen plek waar je je meteen thuis mocht voelen.
Pros:

Heerlijke, prachtig ontworpen plek waar je je meteen thuis mocht voelen. We zijn ook heel goed verzorgd, van bij de aankomst tot ons vertrek.

Cons:

Niets eigenlijk. We hadden een beetje moeite om de juiste timing voor het zwembad te vinden - tegen de avond was de zon weg en het water best wel koud. En het plafond van de gym is te laag om een workout met de zware bal af te werken. Maar dat zijn twee idiote details in vergelijking met alles wat wel goed was. Het viel tegen dat we al zo snel naar huis moesten!

Absolute gem of a hotel tucked away in Alfama, the old part of Lisbon. Very comfortable rooms, fantastic views from the roof terrace, wonderful food and staff. Highly recommend the Fado evening run on Mondays and Thursdays.

Everything was perfect.
