Hotels near Livraria Britanic, Lisbon

We booked a week at the Lisbon Serviced Apartments - Bairro Alto based on positive reviews from previous visitors. The (eight room) four story apartments are located in the old hilly section of the city where steep and narrow sidewalks are the norm and are slippery during rain. The main entrance is via a short alleyway. Access to the outer main door entrance and individual apartments are very 21st century in that there is no reception. The outside door has a cypher lock and guests use a reservation number to get in. Once inside the 'lobby' space there is a kiosk/screen to check in and get an assigned room and cypher code for your room. The kiosk has language selections to help with directions. There also a one-way phone to speak with a person/assistance. The machine scans documents, i.e., passports or European ID cards. It took me ten minutes and the final phase was to take a photo of the QR square displayed to keep track of your room number and access code. There are four floors with two apartments on each floor. There is an elevator and stairs. The rooms are spacious and well outfitted with a mini kitchen, including dishes, cooking ware, dishwasher, clothes washer and refrigerator. The clothes washer is great, we used it and dried clothes on a clothes hangar that was stashed in the closet. There is a comfortable queen size bed with a large flat screen hanging on the opposite wall. A closet has a self-use strong box with directions (in English) to set-up a personalized multi-digit code during your stay. The bathroom is roomy with a shower stall instead of a bath. Plenty of windows, including in the bathroom. The cross street is named Rua Do Poco Dos Negros and is a main line for the local trams that pass through the neighborhood, with a tram stop maybe 100 feet from the apartments. Taxis pass through here as well. Small restaurants are plentiful within a 15-minute parameter. The popular Plaza del Comercio is about a twenty-minute walk or a Three Euro Tram ride away. Aside from steep streets, the area is safe, even a night. The apartments are a clean, good bargain for staying in Lisbon.

We just returned from a lovely 5 night stay at Dom Sancho 1. The hotel is located in a 5 story characterful building on the second floor, on a wide tree lined avenue that is full of designer boutiques, approx 15 minute walk to where all the tourist restaurants and bars are and 5 minutes to the local metro station, it is in a very good location to explore all the tourist sites from. In the hotel there is a small modern lift, the stairs are tiring if you have luggage. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful lady on reception who checked us in and later when asked gave some excellent recommendations and advise. Our room was at the back, away from the street and breakfast room meaning minimal noise. The room was tastefully decorated with antique style pictures and furniture, with 2 single beds pushed together, a large wardrobe, desk/dressing table and TV, there was also bedside lights to read and a large window with shutters and free air con/heating. The bathroom was a little small but adequate for our stay. The whole room and bathroom was very clean with white towels and a small selection of toiletries. Our beds were made everyday by the maid. We decided to try the bed and breakfast option as it seemed good value and we were not disappointed, good selection, cheeses, ham, bread rolls, sliced bread, boiled eggs, cereals, yoghurt and fruit, also a good section of teas and coffee. We found all the staff friendly and helpful, we were also able to leave our luggage at the hotel on our last day as we had a late evening flight and allowed to use toilets to freshen up before we were picked up. If I had to write a small negative then I would say that the beds were a little hard for me ( but that is just a personal choice ) and maybe the door buzzer ( main door to whole building is closed around 10pm and you had to buzz to be let in) is a little loud and can be heard in the rooms at the back but that is just one tiny complaint. Overall I would recommend this hotel to everyone and would love to return one day.

The room is good overall, you can make some simple meals. This is a serviced apartment, they do not provide daily cleaning service. If you need to change towels, you need to go to the front desk to get paper towels. The hotel has a small swimming pool which is very popular. There are free drinks at the small bar next to it…

The location of hotel is perfect. Easy to access some touristic spots, also to the transportation. There was some noise from the refrigerator though, i had to plug it out while sleeping. The room was clean, bathroom was a bit small to place my own toiletries, still it was all fine for a short stay.

Please beware of Hotel DAH in Lisbon...the treatment and experience we endured at this hotel were so deplorable, unaccomodating, and unacceptable. We booked this hotel through ******* for 4 nights in Lisbon. Due to the size of our party, 2 adults and 3 children, this was the only option for our family to be in 1 room at the time. After arriving late to check in due to travel, the hotel was very unflattering as the pictures from Expedia's site as well as the hotel's website depicted a completely different image, a complete misrepresentation. In addition, travel sites indicate laundry facilities in which they did not have, only a pricey service that they contract out. As having never been to Lisbon and not knowing the neighborhoods, we were taken back by all of the graffiti on the adjacent abandoned building. The layout of the hotel is very small and bizarre, with an elevator that could not even fit our family and luggage. We booked the quadruple room in order to accommodate our family; however the hotel management informed us that we only made a reservation for 4, even after showing them proof. The hotel stated that anyone older than 12 is considered an adult, and we are only allowed 4 adults. Our children are 17, 14, 14. We were willing to pay the extra bed charge fee, even though we felt that this should have been handled between ******* and the hotel; however after the way we were treated we stated that we were not going to pay the extra bed fee. The General Manager later informed us after we had checked out, that the night attendant, who checked us in, will have to personally pay for the extra person as he did not request the $ from us at time of check-in. I find this very disturbing and disheartening that management would do this as he was the most pleasant person at the property. From being questioned the first night from staff as to why we were checking out the property, being treated like second class citizens from the night attendant (Sandra?), having our room key deactivated and not telling the truth as to why it was deactivated (was told that these things happen, but Nena (General Manager) admitted it was because we hadn't paid the nominal fee for the extra bed/person), and the overall feeling of being constantly watched, not welcomed, and unsafe, we decided to check out early. Nena, the GM, stated that irregardless of our awful experience, this was a non-refundable booking and will not credit us for the 2 nights we did not stay at Hotel DAH. Even ******* felt for our discomfort and assisted us in other ways that we are extremely grateful for. This experience took up quality family vacation time that we can not get back. Please think twice about staying at this property as this was the worst experience we have encountered in all of our years of travel. There were a multitude of other unpleasant experiences; however would take too much time to elaborate further. These disappointing experiences didn't seem to matter to the manager as it

Very poor breakfast, disappointed with the quality of it. For example it was the first time I saw in a hotel (Ibis included) open butter for everyone to share, and not individual packs, not hygienic at all. I only took breakfast the first day, so I ask for a refund which the hotel refused... nothing more to say about that. About all the rest, was okay: all staff was great, kind and professional and the room clean and bed very comfortable.

Chain hotel facilities are not much different from each hotel, the sanitary environment is good, the environment is good

Located this room within a week and so happy with it. It’s conveniently located a few minutes walk from the train/metro station and a short trip from the airport. The place is hugely immaculate. Marble floors, huge doorways and plenty of seating within the lobby. I was pleased with the staff at the front desk who made checkin smooth and enjoyable. The room itself is true to the style of the orient. Cherrywood furnishings. Plus the AC works! The outlets could be positioned in a more reachable location than under the desk. There’s only one port at one of the beds. The location is north of the promenade so it’s a little hike to get back. Overall I’ll definitely go back.

Also below CV19-Bedingungen I expect a hotel that adheres to the facade with four stars to a lot more. Every morning the same processes, coffee in ToGo cups in a paper bag together with a apple and wooden knife, incrusted ”sandwich” in alufolium with always the same coating ( disk cheese disk cooks******e dry without butter). With some luck it managed to not shake the coffee and everything is dry. But this a piece of fruit is now beautifully warm. Or it's all swept and the day and breakfast is ”saturated”. No trace of a table, a normal cup, a normal beet etc. Eating from the hotel kitchen is unfortunately not worth the price. Carpaccio is beautifully made and fully frozen in the middle, so fresh is different. The hamburger on the one hand is “mini” and in the dry bread that falls out when looking (13€) are a joke, unfortunately not funny. Bach now several stays, forcefully as everything else is closed, I will change immediately as soon as alternatives are available. Hotel itself is clean new and modernly furnished, but dues is destroyed by the circumstances described above DANGER!!!!!

Room is good, breakfast is okay, nice area and service was really good thanks to Frederico and Marco for always being there and very helpful. The area is next to a really great park and if you work through you'll will find the Oeiras shopping mall. Lots of shops and eating opportunities
