    Nice hotel with very friendly staff

    • Superior Double Room with River View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I booked a "superior room with river view", but when I arrived I got a very small room because the hotel was full. When I complained, the hotel refunded me a portion of the price in order for me to pay the regular room. I appreciated it very much, but I would have liked to have the room I booked.

    The hotel is perfectly located in Alfana neighbourhood. Very clean and with a friendly staff. The common rooms are nice and from the hotel you can go everywhere in the city.

    AC

    Excellent service and excellent everything. Just wish the AC was a bit better because it got quite hot at night despite having the AC on at full blast. Thankfully we were there before peak summer. I think it would be hard to manage in peak summer. The complimentary services were so appreciated

    I would have liked to have a bigger bed and two duvets instead of one big one.

    Room was small, but that is a reality of location we chose to stay. Disappointed the hotel had run out of tiles which is part of the welcome to the hotel so we did not receive one.

    Location was a nice experience. Excellent breakfast in a beautiful breakfast room with lots of selection. Coffee selection and water available 24/7. Lovely alcove at front of hotel to sit and relax. Clean and inviting. Rita very helpful with restaurant recommendations and helping with our room temperature.

    Location, breakfast, comfort... everything was perfect. They welcome you with pastel de nata and cherry liquor. Hotel is located right behind the most popular view point of Alfama. It has a great view. It is easy to reach to other places. It serves breakfast everyday. You get to have your breakfast in a very relaxed, cozy area. They also have a good quality coffee machine in the lobby (available for 24 hours). You can either get your coffee take away or enjoy it in the small garden for free. It is also really great for them to give bottle of water each day. Lastly, the rooms are very comfortable and they provide cleaning service everyday.

    They seem to have a contract or some kind of agreement w a car service . They keep offering them instead of other modes of transportation. It makes me wonder if the staff gets some kind of an incentive for selling it.

    Nothing! However, the small footprint of the hotel means the rooms are small and do not allow for twin beds, making it difficult for friends travelling together.

    Beautiful bijou hotel in a superb location, good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff.

    No criticism of the hotel at all, but note it is a boutique hotel with a small footprint and so does not have much in the way of garden/lounge spaces or a restaurant.

    Excellent and friendly staff. Impressive breakfast in such a small space and well managed by the team. Helpful advice on local eating options - very successful in our case. Great in-room supplies.

    My only comment here is that it would have been nice to have a coffee machine in the room, but honestly, this wasn’t a deal breaker as there was limitless good coffee available in the lobby

    This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were fantastic, the location was brilliant, and overall had a 5-star experience
