Lisbon bed & breakfasts

Pros: Stayed over New Years weekend 2018. Very good location near NYE festivities, many local points of interest, and a metro stop with easy transfer to pretty much anywhere, including the airport. This was fortunate because there were a lot of street closures for pedestrian traffic in the area during this time. The room was very comfortable, the breakfasts were tasty and the hotel had an onsite 24 hr bar and room service “snacks and beverages” menu, which came in very handy for a couple of night owls like ourselves.

Cons: It was difficult to organize a pickup from the airport, which was understandable given the holiday and our arrival times but this was not mentioned prior. I emailed my request the day before arrival and was not sent any communication letting me know whether my request was even received (it had been, it just wasn’t fulfilled). This just made for a less than positive first impression. An email back saying this wouldn’t be possible, while presenting my other transportation options, would have gone a very long way. Especially if I had received it while I was still coherent prior to my transatlantic flight! After this first hiccup, everything was smooth sailing for the remainder of the trip.

Pros: The staff made us feel at home. Claudia treated us like family. Excellent breakfast. Very well kept housekeeping.

Pros: This place was incredible. The design was absolutely beautiful -- very industrial charming looking--similar to Anthropologie. The staff were amazing--very helpful with luggage storage, recommendations, and directions. The breakfast was plentiful--overall a wonderful experience.

Cons: None.

Pros: Charming guesthouse in bairro alto. Near restaurants and short walking distance to catch transportation. Personnel goes above and beyond to help with guests needs.

Pros: Breakfast, location, cleanliness, the super helpful staff ... all of it meeting much beyond expectations. The live music with breakfast (piano one day, sax the other) was a nice touch, and the library in the evening for reading was perfect.

Cons: Not a quiet hotel, at all, and so for the light sleeper, a better spot is needed (especially for New Year’s Eve when the streets party til 6am).
