LISBOA CARMO HOTEL

Fabulous hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Suggested various restaurants which were all good. Our room was on the first floor....plenty of space, large bathroom with all the mod cons. Cooked breakfast each morning which was perfect to start the day! Great little square out the front for rest, drink and people watching! Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel has a dining set up across from the hotel. We sat down and were handed menus only to be told, no kitchen. So we chose 2 beers, only to be told out of Heineken . So Two the same . Finally two cold beers, draft. It s just below our hotel, we might return.

We booked the hotel based on what appeared to be a central location and one with excellent reviews. We were most pleased. Supposedly we were "upgraded" but I suspect that meant good view. And, it was a delightful view of the city especially the castelo. While the room was a bit small, we rarely spend time there anyway. Actually, it was not much smaller than some other European hotels at which we have stayed. Breakfast was very good. The first night we at dinner at their restaurant, but found it OK. In fact, what disappointed us with the location (which is excellent right by Largo Carmo) was the lack good restaurants. We were disappointed with our choice for three dinners, but found the lunch by Elevador Justa quite good. The last plus was that we had a very early airport departure and they had a boxed breakfast for us. A couple of hints. First, get the Via Vagem card from a Metro station (either 24-hour - need at least 5 public transport trips to make it worthwhile, or Zapping). It makes riding the Justa reasonably price. The car includes the funiculars, trams, bused, metro, and ferries (a cheap sightseeing crossing of the river), and even trains to Cos Cais and Sintra. Second, it one needs a laundry, 5-Sec is located at Rua Cucifixo 99 just near the Justa. Count on 24 hours and 7.50 Euro per kilo, but it is nicely cleaned and folded.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location for centre, train station , Barrio Alto etc. The Square outside the hotel great place to while away the time, and listen to various musicians, and watch the changing of the guard at the barracks there. Don't bother going to Botanical gardens as they are closed for renovations.

The location of this hotel is perfect. Right in the center of everything. I love Lisbon and we stayed here after our time in Porto. The rooms were big and very large. The shower was large and not crammed like most of the other hotels. We loved the gifts they gave us, internet service was great and so was the food. The restaurant onsite that gives you free welcome drinks - cheers. The breakfast was also very good. And the staff, they were always helpful and ready to answer any questions we had. This is a really good place, choice and location wise. Beds, really good sleep for us and we also had a great choice of pillows. Rooms were cleaned every morning for us. We could not have asked for anything more. thank you
