Beautiful room with a comfy bed. The breakfast was also delicious. I would highly recommend a suite here
My only complaint is that room was not well insulated from noise

Area was fantastic, near lots of pubs and restaurants as well as shops. Staff were welcoming and helpful, the room was beautiful and the ceilings were huge! really recommend. The rooms are in a separate building to the hostels so it’s quieter than you’d expect
Air con was broken so it was cold, noisy at night on the weekends since it’s near the bars but no issues in the week

We were delighted with the warm welcome we received from the staff at front of house !! The courtyard was lovely for breakfast and Lourdes was terrific and so cheerful to meet in the morning Thanks so much to everyone.
What was a bit challenging had nothing to do with the hotel but the footpaths to the right as you come out were very narrow. I would advise guests to cross the road only at pedestrian crossings. There is a beautiful church up to the right a short distance and across the road there is a wonderful panoramic viewing point. There is a pedestrian crossing directly outside to cross and a nice place to have a nightcap in the evening

Great location! Just cross the road and you would have a great view of Lisbon. The hotel is a charming old house. Room is spacious with beautiful decor. Bed is very comfortable. Breakfast is basic but plenty. Love the atmosphere there. Service is definitely great.

The hotel has a great location, nice decor and friendly staff, especially Lourdes, the breakfast-lady.
Price of a suite is very high in relation to quality. Lots of noise at Night, poor lighting in the room, breakfastbuffet too simple for the price we paid.

Great location, lovely building, courteous staff, and nice room, even though on the small side
Only issue we had was being too close to the bar upstairs which was very noisy when busy at night

The room was amazing with a nice terrace to cool down after a day of visiting the city.
We liked everything, perhaps a more vegetarian variation for the breakfast would be nice.
