Top, I'd happily come back again.

Fantastic boutique style hotel in an amazing location. Great friendly staff eager to help make the best of your stay. Straddles two bustling town squares as well as adjacent to the pedestrian rue Augusta with tons of cafe, shops and restaurants. Four story gorgeous Zara across the street on one side and Benetton on the other. We chose to stay at the same hotel three different times during our almost 4 week stay in Portugal

Great hotel! Amazing location, clean room, great view of the square, fast wi-fi, great coffee, and very courteous staff! Only minor issue was that there was no power socket next to the bed and no USB charger. I also didn't have the right power adapter for Portugal, but the lady at the counter even let me borrow their universal power plug, so that problem was solved nicely. There's a great restaurant in the same building and we even got 50% discount for our dinner as a hotel guest!
This was one of the great hotel experiences. Our only regret is that our stay was very brief, just for one night, but my wife already planned to revisit Lisbon so hopefully we will have another chance to stay here again pretty soon.

The staff was nice and had a cake sent to the room for my birthday . The hotel itself was average. We booked through a third party app, so we got stuck in a small room on the first floo,, the toilet didn't flush that well, and it made the room smell bad. We were also on a floor that required us to carry our suitcases to get to our room. They helped upon check-in, but it was an awkward set-up. The location was great! The website was more impressive than the hotel.

Stayed for a week in March 2025, single room.
Based on the name of the hotel, I expected some beautiful interiors, but did not see them.
10 out of 10 for the location of the hotel. In the historical center, at the very beginning of the local pedestrian street, 2 minutes walk to the metro and buses, 5 minutes to the train station. There are also enough shops nearby.
The hotel is in an old historical building, occupies one entrance of a five-story building. There is an elevator.
Breakfasts are good, there are vegetables, fruits, greens, and traditional eggs, sausages, yogurts, national cakes and even champagne.
Upon check-in, they give a liter of water and a coupon for a glass of port in the restaurant.

The location is very convenient, as it is close to the Rossio subway station. There are restaurants and a famous nata shop nearby, so you can feel safe even late at night.
The elevator broke on the day of our stay and was never fixed during the four days of our stay.

Things I love about this hotel:
1. Location - 1million/10 - super central, walking distance to everything, near all public transpos, shops and restaurants everywhere all within less than a min or 2 mins walking
2. Staff - 1million.1/10 - friendly, very helpful, attentive. One thing I could not forget is that I had an early morning flight and their breakdast buffet doesnt start until 7:30AM. The hotel staff had prepared a breakfast box for me to go to bring to the airport.
3. Check in - 1000/10 - their check in isnt until 12nn, but thankfully for me, my room was ready and they let me in early. I opted to roam around and leave my luggage and upon return, they had already put my luggage in my room.
4. Breakfast spread - 7-10 - good selection
5. Aesthetic details - 8/10 - garden, themed floors and rooms
6. Welcome gifts - cute/10 - a letter, a free drink, and a discounted lunch meal
What could be better:
1. Bathroom - a little bit tight especially the shower area. Its the typical European bath tub. Shower is great though, strong pressure and easy to use, and doesnt run out of hot water, but space is a bit small. Might be a problem for elderly people.

Decent food. Service could be improved... We ordered a 2nd bottle of wine, it took a long time for it to be brought to our table. By that time dinner was over and we cancelled the order, yet the server still insisted that we should pay for it despite the fact the bottle had not been opened yet. We did not pay for it in the end, but it was annoying. Bathroom needs an extreme makeover and some serious cleaning.

One of the best meals we had in a long time. Great service, friendly staff and a good cook! I wish we had a restaurant like this back home.
If you like banana go for the banana prawn, you won't be disappointed.

Small, cozy and low key with very good and efficient wait staff. Some of the staff speak good English and are very happy to assist you with the menu.
The restaurant would be classed as basic by some people, but the food and experience are well worth it.
The menu is not comprehensive, however the food we received was of a very good standard. The prices are quite low considering the quality of the food. Wine and food for 2 people was less than €30.

Great ambiance. Traditional Portuguese dishes that were well executed. And service was impeccable. A bit pricey compared to other eatery but you get what you pay for.
07.11.2017
Overpriced (average dish price 30 eur, for such price I would normally expect chefs compliments for free as well as bread), average food (tasted as it was warmed up, restaurant is overrated, not impressed. First time google rating was misleading.
19.09.2017
Old-world atmosphere and elaborate service. But to what end? The food is bland. The prices are crazy by Portugal standards (34 euros for a seafood entree plus you'd have to order vegetables on the side for another 10-16 euros). At 9 pm on a weekday the restaurant had a 100% tourist clientele (mostly Asian-Americans). The food actually doesn't seem Portuguese. More like "continental" food as would have been done in the 1950s in a U.S. city.
