First time going to Lisbon and after a ton of poking around, I ended up going with Lx Boutique…read moreHotel, which ended up being a solid stay due to the location, the room, and the service. As you'll see below, your mileage may vary depending on where you are expecting to go to and what you consider noisy, but I think it's a great stay. Pros: +Check-in was super smooth / friendly. The elevator was never overly crowded or took too long to get to. +There was nata and port wine available every afternoon in the lobby. Loved it. +I personally love the design of the room. Loved the art style and the design. The restroom in particular was cool / super modern and had a nice contrast against the more classic style of the hotel. The bed too was comfy and all the amenities were there from locks to hangers. Yes, water is like 2.5 euros but for the huge bottle, that's not bad at all to me. +I personally love where this is located at. It's a quick walk to the Tagus and a lot of the coastal sights, restaurants and not too far from other metros. Also easy to hail a taxi. Also, if you like to party/go to Pink Street, its so close and easy to get to. Pro/Con: +/- Noise-wise, I was placed in a room on the 2nd floor near the alleyway. I heard a tiny bit of noise from the busy Pink Street area below, so it wasn't that bad. Would just check in with the lobby to see if you can be placed higher if you think the noise is going to be an issue. Also, if you're not going to be going to Pink Street at all, you may run into both drunken party patrons or the 'drug dealers' accidentally as you try to get elsewhere. Wasn't a big deal and can just ignore them, but just as a FYI. +/- The rooms have a slightly weird card system in which you have to keep your card near the key reader in order to open. The trick (as someone in the lobby taught me) was just to press up the higher part of the card against the reader and hold it there. Cons: -There was only one plug that I could find in the room, so if you need a few items that need charging, you will just have to make sure to change things out. -Super small desk. So if you need to work or want to read/write at a desk, it'll be a bit tough. Love that it was so close to Time Out Market and the metro/train station to some of the other cities. Would def. go back!

The location is perfect - quick access to Cais do Sodre and Baixa-Chiado stations. The bed and room were both comfortable. Unfortunately our "Classic" room's view had of the backside of another building but we did appreciate the balcony. Breakfast was not included in our rate. Coffee is not available in the rooms or lobby in the early morning and the breakfast seemed to have a late start. Thankfully, there's a pastelaria across the street on the corner. The bathroom was very sleek and modern, but the entire wall and floor (including inside the step-in shower) is covered in some strange fabric. I cannot imagine what the actual floor beneath that fabric in the shower looks like in regard to hair and soap residue. The shower had a traditional European wand option and a ceiling-mounted head, not making it convenient for women who don't want to get their hair wet to shower.

I had it in my…read moremind that I was going to stay at Four Seasons, but thankfully, my travel agent did her homework and told me this boutique would be far better location wise and top tier. She was right! Insanely spacious, comfortable rooms. Excellent breakfast, rooftop deck, restaurant upstairs. Beautiful common area on the mezzanine level to enjoy a coffee and pastry taking a respite during the afternoon between seeing the city. All in all, Bairro Alto was great! Walked from here to two Michelin two starred restaurants, an amazing pizza place, walking tour of the city, the world's best chocolate cake, and so much more. There is really everything right here you would want. Keep in mind it's a classic boutique hotel. That means small and narrow elevators. So sometimes you just have to be a little patient. Come for the friendly service, amazing location, comfortable beds, beautiful rooms, and know that this is a great place to stay in the heart of Lisbon. Highly recommend. Tip: If you are staying over the weekend, get a floor as high as you can and/or have a sound machine if you want to sleep well because the street noise is loud with people out and about on Friday and Saturday nights.

We arrived at 7pm and the staff quickly checked us in with no issues. Once we got on our floor, we were a bit taken back by how old and dated the hotel was. The lights were also motion censored, so the hallway felt like a haunted house. Actually, the entire hotel felt like it was haunted. The rooms also left a lot to be desired, but we did have a semi decent view of the city. The bathroom was also very small and the shower was a bit complicated. We weren't in the room for long as we quickly changed, headed out to dinner, and by the time we came back, it was time to go to sleep for our flight the next morning. Overall, they have an amazing staff, but the hotel really needs some TLC.

The connecting room setup worked perfectly for us, plenty of space between the two rooms, and the staff had clearly thought through what families actually need, right down to the football shirts waiting for our kids on arrival. What really stood out was the spa, chromotherapy showers, a jacuzzi, and this bucket contraption that tips warm water on you when you least expect it, sounds odd but the kids were obsessed. Add in a genuinely excellent dinner at the in-house restaurant and a location that puts you right in the middle of old Lisbon, and it's easy to see why this place is so well rated. Would book again without hesitation.

The staff was friendly, accommodating, and really knew how to be hospitable. The room was fantastic! It had a full kitchen, washing machine, an actual king bed (rare in Europe), massive pillows, and everything you could need if you were traveling with a kid. The hotel restaurant is small, so you can have breakfast delivered to your room. You kind of need to go to breakfast your first morning to see what options to have and then you can order online for any future mornings. The croissants were always delivered warm and it a little pouch to keep them that way. They smelled heavenly. They also have some of the best pasteis de nata and in the early morning they're warm! The location was great! You did have to walk up a bit of a hill, but it's Lisbon. My only tip would be to stay at this hotel at the end of your trip or only stay here because they will spoil you.

In the lobby, there's also a Kids Club that offers daycare at all times of the day; the staff there were really good at making the kids comfortable. We were assigned room 002, which was the size of a small apartment, with a bedroom that had a king size bed and bunk beds situated in the family room. I know bunk beds can be nerve wracking with little kids, but the hotel had bumpers installed for safe sleeping. Location wise, you're in the heart of the city with lots of restaurants and shops within close walking distance. It'd be hard not to recommend this hotel, unless you are traveling with no kids or on a business trip.

It has fruit, cheese, meats, breads, pastries, cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, juice, espresso and champagne. There is also a separate and smaller section for low calorie and healthier food.

The room was a fine size for one couple, wifi service was good on the 5th floor although street side with balcony was slightly noisy at night.

It is certainly in a seedy neighborhood with a number of loiterers and/or homeless people but they do not gather in front of the hotel. Only 1-2 people seemed to bother us while walking so mostly these people kept to themselves. The hotel is between two metro stops so it's quite easy to get around town and the 28 trolley picks up a couple blocks away. I'm hesitant to give 4 stars as I wouldn't recommend this hotel to everyone I know. But if you keep your wits about yourself and all you need is a safe hotel to sleep in, this is your place.

The walls were incredibly thin and my bathroom smelled like an everlasting fart. As soon as I turned the lights off to go to sleep, I noticed two things: the AC was not working and there was a perpetual dripping sound. I turned on the lights and saw a puddle near the bathroom door. There was a massive leak coming from the ceiling. I called the front desk, who actually knew about the leak prior to my arrival, and they told me that there's nothing to be done and that they could not move me. I lifted the ceiling tile and saw a cluster of electrical wires being submerged by water. There was also a massive growth of mildew spreading all over the interior of the ceiling. Not only was this a safety hazard, but it was also bad customer service. The front desk staff claimed the leak was caused by leaking pipes. Why are they allowing this room to be rented if they know there is a leak? Why don't they fix the broken pipes? They kept saying they couldn't move me because all the rooms were reserved and someone else would have to take my hazardous room. They begrudgingly moved me eventually, but the new room also had weak AC. Bad and rundown property.

It was right on the Avenida da Libertade which is a perfect walkable location to lots of places. The Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon is the widest avenue in the center of town. After the earthquake of 1755 this new avenue was designed. The Champs Elysees in Paris was used as a model. This is a beautiful street with a big center area with trees and a wide walking area. If you are a shopaholic this is the place to be. I shopped a lot before our trip, so I wasn't in the mood to shop. We did walk into the Prada store and I checked out a handbag. My sweet husband told me he would buy it for me, but I could go on a nice trip for the same amount of money. He also told my daughter-in-law he would get her something, but thankfully she is really practical too. The hotel was really nice and the rooms were great. No view or balcony, but not a big deal. It was great to be able to walk to the castle and the Bairro Alto area from there. Mind you it is a bit of an uphill workout.
