The unique architecture, having been a palace before a hotel, makes this accommodation very charming. The entire staff was very nice and very helpful. We highly recommend this location. No negative comments.

The management, Patricia refused to deal with an egregious billing error created by the hotel. I was billed 195 euro last spring by expedia for the 8th night of a 8 night booking, which was cancelled in error by the hotel . After rebooking and paying through expedia for the 8th night, the hotel refused to refund the 195euro on the first booking , and took the room cost from my expedia account again .Patricia had all the proof of payments, but never got back to me, and claimed they received no money from Expedia,despite my proving otherwise with Expedia receipt statements. . Obviously Expedia and my Amex paid for the first 7 nights and the 8th night. Patricia was very unhelpful, asking for copies of my bank account, when it was clear that the 8 nights were paid by credit card. To add insult to injury , after my return home, the hotel billed my US MC $247.45! .So I have to fight for the 195euros, as well as a $247.75 US MC charge. To summarize, I paid 3 times for one night , and I spent several hours trying to resolve it at the hotel with a very uncooperative “ manager “ who was unnecessarily adversarial. I paid $4121.10 for 7 nights for Nos Moscada 05, which was very dated, and a tripping hazard. The walls were sloped, so at 5’2”, I was hitting my head. I was charged 3 times, as outlined previously, for the 8th night. A frustrating and stressful end to an otherwise good vacation.

This was a beautiful hotel. Staff was very nice and helpful. However, the bathroom hand shower did not work, the hot water was not hot enough, the a/c did not cool the room as well it should have, the room telephone did not work and I could not get a receipt when we checked out. So, I feel a paid a lot of money for one night but the amenities were not up to par.

This hotel is incredible . From the moment we arrived the staff were incredible and accommodating . The room was quaint and it felt like we stepped back in time but with all the modern conveniences required. Breakfast was a feast and we were serenaded each morning by a pianist and violinist a wonderful way to start the day. Complimentary wine and cheese tasting was a lovely touch in the wonderful wine cellar. Location excellent close to lots of landmarks and a few minutes walk to bus , tram and metro . Can’t reccomend this hotel highly enough and will definitely return soon I hope . Natalie

Stunning decor, great location and excellent customer service. Allan at front desk was outstanding! We arrived shortly before the spa was closing but he ushered us there so we could enjoy it as we were only there one night. We were also greeted with welcome wine and a cheese and olive board. Those details are so appreciated. Our room was quiet, clean and beautiful. Highly recommend!

A treat to stay
Staying here was absolutely a treat; so much so I booked it again on our last night before we leave Lisbon. We really enjoyed the spa and welcome drink and appetizers. All the staff was friendly and Allan was especially accommodating during our time. We only wish the spa was open later (closes at 20:00 hr).
