    No restaurant or bar but sister hotel is 2 mins away. Also huge amount of bars/restaurants within a 5min walk.

    Excellent location and staff were so friendly.

    Because it’s a good location and very central to lots of places, it was noisy. I also wasn’t thrilled w/the location of my room…6th floor (elevator only goes to the 5th floor), which was only accessible by stairs and the lock to the room was very tricky to operate. Staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and greatly appreciated! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    Good location!

    Тhere was a noise because of reconstruction of the neighboring building

    Great location, right in the heart of the city, very frendly and helping stuff, nice and modern lobby, modest breakfast served in the Browns Central Hotel

    Room was a bit snug, but since we were mostly out , it didn’t really bother us

    It was beautifully located , very trendy, with all kinds of welcoming features like free coffee, super egg tarts in the room, and lovely bath accessories too

    Short and sweet stay in smartly styled and comfortable digs

    I was not told about the construction noise that was going on outside, though I do not think it was inside the building, a notice of the noise would have been appreciated. It was during regular business hours, but had I been staying more than one night I most definitely would have asked for room to be changed. The floor creaked alot in the room and the hallways. Also there isn't really a buffer from hearing everyone in the hallway as rooms the hallway is small but maybe some extra insulation on the door would be helpful.

    Loved the location of the hotel, off one of the main streets and not an easy walk to the main attractions. The lobby is glorious and inviting, the staff were highly informative and beyond pleasant.

    I didn't like having to go to another Brown's hotel for breakfast. It wasn't really a problem but I would have liked to have had a bar in the hotel where you could sit in the evening and have a drink. Instead I had to go to either Browns Boutique or Browns Central.

    The room was small but had everything I needed. The location was excellent

    The only slight disappointment was the need to go to the sister hotel for breakfast and bar facilities but it was no hardship and just a very short walk away. We knew that when we booked.

    We had a room upgrade and the room was very comfortable and stylishly furnished. The concierge and reception staff were very pleasant and helpful with their suggestions. We also enjoyed our welcome cocktail at the sister hotel.

    Nothing

    The hotel was a great location, good for getting about the area. Plenty of bars and restaurants round about an 5 minute walk from the tube station. Hotel was clean, fresh towels every day. Front desk staff were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay at Brown’s Downtown on my next visit to lisbon.

    We stayed at this location (Brown’s Downtown Hotel) three times over a two-week period, occupying three different rooms. The location was perfect for us. The front desk staff couldn’t have been nicer, friendlier or more helpful. Just terrific!!! Plus, our rooms were always cleaned and straightened up beautifully. Thank you also to those ladies! Breakfasts were at Brown’s Central Hotel about a block away and were great. We grabbed a few bites at Brown’s Bistro (part of Brown’s Boutique), about a 1/2 block away. Bottom line: We want to go back!!! And many thanks again to everyone who works at these locations. . . the best!

    I can’t say anything really negative about this property and I’ve stayed in Lisbon many times for work and leisure

    Amazing location on a pretty quiet street considering the very central location. We had street side room and slept amazingly well. Can walk pretty much anywhere from here.

    Bathroom had a water leak and they offered us a different room for the issue but we decided to stay in the room since we were on there for one night. They were glad we told them about the leak so that could start working on it the next day.

    All the staff were very friendly. We went to the wrong Brown hotel and the staff person there took our luggage to the correct one for us. We enjoyed the little touch like the welcome drink.
