""We stayed here for 3 nights March 7th as we were in Lisbon for the half marathon. What a fabulous place. Quite a small hotel with an unassuming frontage, we received a really warm welcome when we arrived. Great staff in every area of the hotel. We stayed in the Carmen Sevilla room which was fab. Sparkling clean. A decanter of port filled daily. We enjoyed the tea and cakes 5pm–9pm. Breakfast was great. Lots of lovely things. 7.30 to midday. Check out was midday but we were still able to use the hotel amenities until we left. So many great places to eat near by. Fab staff recommendations. Thank you for a wonderful stay."

"Everything was perfect. The staff were lovely and seemed to really take pride in working there. The room was comfortable, the location excellent and the breakfast delicious. And there were lovely little extra touches, like a complimentary decanter of port in the room and a daily treat of tea/coffee and pastries in the library. As with the best hotels, staff took pleasure in anticipating any help wanted, like noticing it was raining and giving you an umbrella. A huge thank you to all, and we will be back."

"This is an absolutely lovely hotel in a fantastic location. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the art deco building is charming. It’s located in the north of the city centre, about a 20 minute walk down to the river and behind the smartest shopping street in Lisbon. It's also only about a 20 minute cab ride from the airport, so very easy to get to. Our room was large and comfortable, with a free decanter of port and several bottles of water. Down in the bar you can get free port or cherry liqueur, and at 5pm they do free coffee and pastries. Combined with this, the staff couldn’t be more friendly or helpful. It was a great place to stay for a city break, and we will definitely return. (As a side note, it’s worth paying for the breakfast - there is loads of it!)"

"Everything, we have stayed in many hotels over the years and this is one of the best, the staff were excellent, the rooms were huge and comfortable, the location was good but the history of the hotel is the most interesting part of it all and the memory of that era maintained"
