This hotel is absolutely terrible. The room was dirty, with suspicious stains on the bed, which was honestly disgusting. Overall, a very unpleasant experience. Overpriced, dirty, and with terrible service. I absolutely do not recommend this hotel.
Staff were incredible and made you feel at home! The morning we were leaving the owner was sitting in the lobby and insisted that we help ourselves to a coffee and croissant while we were waiting for our Bolt. He even packed us some Pastel da Natas!

Top Tips
- Book your Lisbon hotel 60-90 days before arrival to secure lower rates. Prices typically rise 25-40% within 30 days of check-in, especially from April to October, affecting most major hotel brands. To ensure availability and early booking discounts, compare advance purchase policies for your hotel.
- Always pay in euros at hotel point-of-sale terminals to avoid Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) fees, which are typically 3-6% higher than local rates. Leading hotels accept euro payments by default; select 'EUR' on the card terminal to avoid extra charges.
- Consider staying in Santa Apolónia or Roma-Areeiro for hotel rates 10-15% lower (€90-€130/night, approx. $97-$140 USD) than in the tourist center (€130-€180/night, approx. $140-$194 USD), while keeping similar metro access - just 8 minutes to Terreiro do Paço.
- If booking a small or family-run guesthouse, confirm if there is 24/7 front desk service. About 30% of these accommodations close between 22:00 and 08:00, which may delay late check-in unless you notify the property in advance.
- Explicitly request a step-free or accessible room if needed. Only 18% of Lisbon hotels advertise verified accessibility features, and pre-1990 buildings may have unlabeled elevators or stair-only access. Contact your chosen property directly to confirm ramp or step counts to your room.
- Choose hotels with an Energy Certificate A or B for comfort during summer heat waves (above 35°C), since properties rated C-F (seen in 60% of pre-2000 buildings) may have stricter air conditioning restrictions. You can request a copy of the energy certificate if you are unsure.
- Use Multibanco ATMs at Caixa Geral de Depósitos or Santander branches for the lowest cash withdrawal fees. Non-customer ATM fees range from €2-€4.50 (approx. $2.20-$4.90 USD), while CGD machines typically cap fees at €2 (approx. $2.20 USD) and accept major international cards without extra markup.
- Plan at least 6 months ahead when booking during major events like NOS Alive (July) or Web Summit (November). Room rates can spike 45-70% and overall availability drops below 15% within 4 months of these events in most hotels.
- For reliable remote work, prioritize hotels advertising fiber-optic (FTTH) Wi-Fi, as only 35% of properties with 'high-speed' claims deliver consistent speeds above 100 Mbps due to local cable limits. Ask the front desk for a recent speed test result or written confirmation.
- Tip 5% for full-service staff such as porters or concierges at 4 or 5 star hotels; this is typically €5-€10 (approx. $5.50-$11 USD) for luggage service. Tipping is not standard in budget hotels or self-service accommodations.
- During wildfire season (August-October), avoid accommodations in São Vicente or São Domingos de Benfica, where air quality (AQI) can rise above 150 during local fire activity. Central districts consistently stay below AQI 50 for healthier stays.
- Pair Booking.com Genius Level 2+ with a Lisboa Card for extra savings. Genius provides 10-15% off select hotel rates, and the Lisboa Card unlocks up to 25% off valet parking at 12 partner hotels - check eligibility before finalizing your booking.
