HOTEL PORTUGAL

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Lisbon. The room was good size as was the bathroom. Loved the long sink counter with 2 sinks where I could spread out all my toiletries. Nice thick towels and bathrobes as well. Friendly and helpful staff plus a buffet breakfast with many food options and an inviting eating area. Enjoyed our stay here.

This is a cute boutique hotel close to Rossio Square. It is convenient to the train station to get to Sintra or to several city trams. If you are using uber, be aware there are parts of the squares the drivers cannot stop, though. Our standard room was small but clean and functional. I didn't mind the TV built into the mirror. The shower head was nice but care had to be taken to avoid getting the floor wet. Breakfast is ample. They served pretty much the same thing everyday. Hot foods included some ham, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sautéed veggies. There were limited fruits that were not very ripe. Fresh fruit juice was good. Staff was attentive and kept coffee cups full.

Hotel Portugal is very conveniently located and wonderfully comfortable. We were upgraded to a larger room and it was excellent. The staff was exceptionally helpful. The breakfast was included in our package and served in a pleasant room with attentive staff.

The room was relatively small, but comfortable. There is almost no storage space, so the second suitcase ended up in the bathroom, which is fortunately big enough. The whole closet to hang something was about two feet wide. The hotel was renovated a few years ago and has a kind of modern design. Something different, to say at least, but interesting. As it is with some designers, they make it look nice, but are not very practical. The cabinet with shelves for your cloths, was hanging on the wall. The first shelf was about 8 feet up, the second at least 12 feet. No, there was no ladder. Totally useless, but it looked nice. The location is right in the center of town, very convenient to explore Lisbon. The streetcar to Belem stops right there on the square, which was very convenient. The hotel is actually part of a much bigger hotel in the back, named Mundial. Almost no taxi driver knew Hotel Portugal, but everybody knew Mundial, so we said Mundial and told him to drive around the corner. The people in the hotel are very nice and helpful. The breakfast, which we had included (you can have the room without), was very good and had a good variety. Internet is free and fast. The look out of the window was into an old street. Nothing exciting. The windows on the other side go into a parking lot and the backside of the hotel Mundial. Actually, I prefer the look out onto the street, although it's not really nice. But a lot of streets in Lisbon look like that, so it's not bad. All in all, I think this is a nice hotel when you stay for a few days. For a longer stay, I would go to the Mundial. And one more thing: we were in the second floor and every morning, starting at about 5 am, the floor started vibrating from the Metro, running right underneath the hotel. It's not too bad, but you feel it. And it served as an alarm clock.

We stayed at Hotel Portugal for 3 nights and were very happy with this Hotel. The location is the best in the centre of the town squares with easy walking to shops, restaurants and attractions. The service provided by all the staff was faultless. Our room was very nice and I must make special mention of the shower as the water pressure, hot water and large shower heads was fantastic and really enjoyed after a long day walking around. Downstairs wine cellar was also very nice.
