This room was a great value! The guest house is located in a great neighborhood. My room was clean and had everything I needed. Would absolutely recommend this for a traveler on a budget!
Right in the middle of the tourist area. Great location. Walkable to train station. Tons of cafes around. Clean but no fridge or coffee. Easy access off the street and not far from airport.
Guest house is a 10 minute walk from the historic district and just a minute away from the iconic Lisbon funicular. The area has plenty of restaurants and a park which gives a great view of the city.
Loved the room! It was nicely appointed. It was safe. The location was perfect. However, just outside our window was a discount Bar where patrons spilled out onto the street and partied until 2-3am. We did not get much sleep.
It was my first time in Lisboa although I was born in Portugal have not been here in 40 years it’s been my husband’s 17th. time & he was born in Lisboa so he’s been showing me all around this beautifully historic city. We loved our room & how close it was to everything!!!!
We had a great stay in Lisbon and this hotel was perfect. It was centrally located and close to great restaurants, shops, train stations and mor. My surprise and delight was that Right across from our hotel room was this fabulous park- a miradouros with a great view, food, drinks and music.

Location was great, on the main Street in Bairro Alto. Check in was very easy..The place was nicely decorated but we can see there was a lack of maintenance. The edges were not clean and there was mold on the walls. We can also hear the other guests in the building.
Awesome location in the heart of the Bairro Alto district. Checkin was easy. Luggage storage prior to checkin and after checkout was easy and appreciated. The room is as described.

Good size, very clean, great shower.
Sadly it was very noisy at night. We were there Saturday to Monday and every night the bar in the alley outside our window had people drinking, partying very loudly until 3am every night if our stay.
Such a a shame as room was great and Bairro Alto was a good location
Great location in Lisbon to walk to lots of destinations. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, very short walk. The apartment was simple but all we needed.
We really appreciated the storage lockers provided and a WC to use when we collected our luggage. Thank you -this was really great service.

This is a lovely historic house in Bairro Alto. It makes an excellent base for a visit to Lisboa.
Make sure you carry earplugs for use at night.
Rooms cleaned daily. Plenty of buses and tram stops close by. Lots of interesting narrow streets with cafes and arty/clothing boutiques
etc.

The place was in a great location. Room was good. Shower did not drain and had black mold all over it. It is a shame because the place is great.
Clean, fresh, modern room with all of the basics in an amazing location. Bed and linens were all comfy and new.Tram and park with an amazing view right across the street. Stores, laundromat and restaurants close by. Access was easy.
Nothing fancy and location is self hosted. Just a nice clean comfortable affordable room in a gorgeous neighborhood. Highly recommend if you want something simple and affordable in an amazing neighborhood.
Beautiful space in the heart of Bairro Alto.The guesthouse is centrally located in the heart of everything, but that also means people will be partying right outside all night. The triple pane windows and shutters kept out most of the noise though. Room was larger than expected with lots of natural light.
Loved our stay here, it is in a very busy area and can be loud in the evenings but it didn’t bother us at all. Clean, safe and the building itself was quiet. Very responsive whenever we needed anything. Located directly across a wonderful viewpoint and lots of shops and restaurants nearby. It’s at the top of a huge hill (like everything in Lisbon) but we would walk down and then take a bolt back up if we didn’t feel like doing the walk back. Highly recommend.
Accommodation was great . We arrived but only had one access code. Phoned the owners and the acces code was there almost immediately. Very comfortable room. First reasonably quiet but the next night was the Eve of a national holiday so the party was on. Considering where they were partying it was quiet. Very easy to gey to. At the top of a funicular. Easy to get around Lisbon from there.
The property was very clean and well maintained. The only negatives were that the first night we arrived, a Saturday , it was very noisy till about 2 am. The source of the noise was outside the area of this establishment but in the same building. The other was that there was almost no storage space in the unit. Hence the 4 rather than 5.
This is a comfortable and simple property. It is extremely well located to the downtown neighborhoods and immediately adjacent to the very lovely and elegant Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara. The adjacent side streets are very popular and loud at night for young tourist looking for cheap drinks, but the windows and walls were well insulated to keep most of the noise out. If you are a light sleeper, you should consider bringing a white noise machine. AC in room was a great feature. Shampoo and toiletry amenities are minimal, so consider bringing your own if you are particular.
I loved that it was essentially self-service. No front desk. No staff other than the cleaners who came in the morning. The rooms felt clean. The bed and bedding were comfortable.
The only thing I didn't love was the layout of the bathroom. It's not the most ergonomic.
One thing I will call out though is that it's right next to a lot of bars, and it can be quiet noisy at night. I was still able to sleep, so it wasn't an issue, but if you are more sensitive to this kind of thing, maybe you will want to consider a different option, but in terms of location, this place can't be beat.
