Fabulous hotel in the heart of the old town - next to the castle walls. Pick up from the airport was seamless and very quick to the hotel up some very narrow streets (if you are taking a cab make sure they can get inside the city walls) We arrived before check in and were offered breakfast at no extra charge and left our bags with reception. We we told we could check in at 1.00pm and so returned to get in straight away with bags in the room already. We had a complementary bottle of local sparkling wine in an ice bucket which was delicious.
The room was spacious (no3 - Alfama room) with views to the side and back courtyard. The room was comfortable with all the amenities you would expect.
Good plentiful breakfast with lots of options to choose from. An honesty bar for a late drink in the lounge / terrace which was very welcome.
A brilliant hotel in the heart of the old town with great service and some lovely extra touches which made for a memorable stay.
Highly recommended.

We only stayed one night in this lovely hotel after returning to Lisbon from Porto. Our flight home was the next morning. If I had known how lovely it was I would have returned a day earlier so we could spend another night in this wonderful hotel. It was tucked away on a small street in the Alfama neighborhood. The inside of the property was amazing! There was a center courtyard with tables and chairs for seating and peacocks wandering around! It was so peaceful! The hotel is right next to the Castelo de Sao Jorge. If you enjoy small boutique hotels, I highly recommend this one!

Historic setting and charm.
Have to be fairly fit to walk up and down to the main area but the quietness of the area in the evening was delightful.

Loved this hotel! I would suggest better breakfast options. Same breakfast, limited options. But other than that, great stay!
2.5 / 5.0
Beautiful hotel and wonderful delightful staff.
Room service options could be improved significantly though. Would have been great to have had a tea pot and/or coffee machine available in the room.
The complimentary airport transport to the hotel was excellent. Although it would be great for the guest to have the option to choose the return transport to the airport instead if need be.

This is a nice hotel with a great staff! The front desk people are very helpful and the breakfast buffet has good options. The only thing to consider it’s a hike up to the hotel other than that Enjoy!

Henry was amazing! Never have I enjoyed checking into a hotel so much. He ia extremely knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and ensures your safety when leaving the hotel to venture out into the city! Bravo.

5.0 / 5.0
Pros:
A hotel with a lot of history, built in former Castle kitchen. Great breakfast, a tiny soaking pool, but enough to cool off, great courtyard with many sitting areas, a private museum.
Cons:
Once you climb up the entire hill to get there, you don't want to go anywhere, so arrive late.
No Uber, only city taxi and resident vehicles allowed. It still is walkable to restaurants and attractions, but there is a street with 135

Peacock families everywhere- lovely but loud

Amazing heritage hotel with very tasteful attention to detail decor. staff could not be more helpful and attentive to your every need - very comfortable stay

Gorgeous property on the Castel do Jorge property. The peacocks were beautiful and added to the ambience of the property. The staff were above and beyond expectations. Do not bring a car, you cannot drive up to this hotel, although some taxi's have access - check before you get in the taxi. Where sneakers in this entire area. It is beautiful, lots of restaurants and shopping, but all on a steep incline.

Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Front desk folks amazing. Breakfast until NOON, including Champagne. Always something wonderful to snack on. In the evening more champagne. Room was fine ; bed very comfortable. Just remember to bring your earplugs as the peacocks are extremely loud. One loved to sit on my balcony. Good pictures.

It calls itself a 5 star hotel. It’s more likely a 4 star.
Too expensive for its facilities and restaurants and service.

My 12 year old son and I have just come back from a wonderful short break at this Hotel. It is simply stunning and the staff couldn’t be more welcoming. It is in the hilliest part of the city but we didn’t mind the steep walk to the nearby bus stop. The public transport is very easy to navigate and great fun. I highly recommend you stay in this little oasis of peace as it mixes perfectly with the bustling streets below. Many thanks Kirsten

Property is gorgeous and I was drawn to it being part of the old castle. But it is up on the Alana hill and not all taxi or Uber drivers will take you all the way to hotel. Book airport shuttle service through the hotel if possible.
There are also peacocks around the hotel that are very loud and act like a roaster waking you up early in the morning.
Staff was great. Very attentive and helpful

Beautiful hotel near the castle. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If you plan to stay here, you will need to be comfortable with the peacock noises in the early morning and sometimes during the night. It didn’t bother me at all since I had a white noise machine, but I did hear another guest complain about it.
Overall, a beautiful place and I would stay here again.

The boutique hotel is practically in the castle. The hotel made transport from the airport very easy, but be sure to arrange with them prior to arriving.
You will be staying in the old town area, so expect narrow streets, and much walking. The 737 bus picks up right outside the Castle, and is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Many shops, and very good restaurants are close by.
In the morning, the hotel has quite a good breakfast spread, so plan on including that with your stay.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Ms. Bento was particularly helpful when we booked an excursion to Sintas.
A multitude of peacocks reside in and around the Castle, and provide daily shows of their vibrant plumage.
Really enjoyed the experience.

This hotel is not friendly. When we arrived at the intercom on the street we were told we would have to walk 100 meters uphill with our suitcases to the enterance although there was a driveway the Uber driver was told no exceptions. My wife has a serious lung disease and can not walk up hills or steps. We went to another hotel called Magdalena which was very good The Solar Hotel refused to give me a refund even though it was impossible for us to reach the hotel from the intercom station. They claim this is a 4 or 5 star hotel I say they are dishonest.

Lovely small boutique hotel next to the castle. Staff were very attentive. The courtyard was beautiful for breakfast and late afternoon drinks. We loved the sweets at breakfast.
Note that cars are not allowed in this area of the Alfama, which makes it great for walking around, but more complicated for taxis or Ubers. The hotel staff were very accommodating with finding transport for us.
5.0 / 5.0
The property is absolutely beautiful and historic. It was a lovely way to end our trip. Be aware that you cannot park a car near the hotel, so, if you have a rental car, etc., you will need to park over 20 min taxi ride away at a sister property, and take a taxi to and from the hotel. The cost is covered by the hotel one way, but not for the return fare. Next time, we would return the rental before staying at the hotel. Everyone there is warm and the beds were extremely comfortable. Highly recommend!

This property is next to the castle and a perfect location to explore that area. And all of Lisbon if you can manage the hills. I had a long and late tourney to get there from Canada. As I filled out the forms I mentioned that it was my birthday - a little bit later they delivered sparkling wine to my room. A really nice touch!
I loved the peacocks just outside. The room was very comfortable, and the breakfast buffet excellent.
