Perfection…. Lisbon’s hidden gem!
Pros:

Beautiful location on the highest hill in Lisbon surrounded by a castle! Our room was perfect with windows and doors that lead in the fresh air! Peacocks roam the property making it feel like a fairytale! Oh, and did I mention the breakfast! It was more than superb and I’m so sorry. I slept in the following day and missed it altogether. Jet lag!
Just a short, but lovely walk into town. Would definitely recommend it Solar de Castelo!!!

Pros:

Тихо, спокойно, павлины гуляют )

Cons:

Такси не подъезжают прям к отелю. Надо немного самим пройти в горку. Имейте в виду.

Krásné ubytování u zahrad kolem hradu. Transfer z letiště v ceně.
Pros:

Klid uprostřed turistického ruchu. Malé drobnosti, které zlepší den (občerstvení, káva, večer prosecco, nebo portské na pokoji). Skvělý transfer z letiště zahrnutý v ceně. Možnost bezlepkového chleba na snídani.

Cons:

Nic mě nenapadá.

Nice stay, breakfast could be better.
Pros:

Located right next to the castle. Comfortable beds and nice bedding. Free sparkling wine from 6pm. Roaming peacocks are very cute. Very clean. Access to cold water and snacks at all times.

Cons:

Breakfast was very basic. Walls between rooms were quite thin so could hear the people next to me quite a lot. Decor could be improved, it feels a bit dated.

Bijzonder plekje
Pros:

De lokatie en de sfeer van het hotel

Cons:

Sommig personeel heel vriendelijk, bv de nachtportier en sommige kamermeisjes en persone bij het ontbijt. Anderen afstandelijk. Dat is gewoon jammer.
