POUSADA DE LISBOA

Excellent quality hotel, helpful staff, top quality breakfast buffet regularly refreshed. De-luxe room 125 was clean, well equipped and serviced.....but was on the first floor on a corner of the building abutted by two streets. One was a major bus and tram route to the main square with traffic through the night along with the happy sounds of revellers in the street in the early hours. No views except of buses and the buildings opposite. (see pics) We made a mistake in renting a car at the airport and driving in to the centre. This was extremely difficult with road closures and unexpected traffic restrictions. Having arrived we used taxis and public transport until leaving. Unless a car is essential for out of town trips during your stay, don't have one

The Pousada de Lisboa is situated on the Praça do Comercio, overlooking the River Tagus in the commercial centre of Lisbon, walking distance from the shopping streets, restaurants and the tram stop. While the hotel is within an old building, the interior has been completely rebuilt and modernised, with level access throughout (except to the swimming pool on the roof). Our room was on the second floor (214), with plenty of space for a wheelchair to manoevre and a wooden floor. The bed was comfortable, and there was a sofa, two chairs and a desk. A fridge (minibar) and safe were in the cupboard. The bathroom had a large shower cubicle, accessed with a single step. An extensive buffet breakfast is served each morning in a central courtyard. In the evening we found the terrace bar a great place to enjoy a drink and watch the passing people. We didn't eat in the restaurant. The most remarkable feature of this hotel is it's staff. They are friendly, helpful and can almost anticipate your needs. Nothing is too much trouble - just ask. They were made a special effort with our accessibility / wheelchair needs and made special arrangements for our onward travel. All in all a great stay - we will stay here again.

A very good hotel with helpful staff. The location is excellent and right at the waterfront in the main square. There are plenty restaurants and bars around as well for evenings and days out in the sun. Beds were comfy, breakfast was good and all in all a great experience at the hotel.

I spent 3 great days there. Trying to be fair from the beginning I didn't pay for it so I don't know if the price is good for its quality. It is a historique building since it was the ministry of interior for decades. It was transformed into hotel 2 years ago. The rooms are well created, although not very spacious. The food at the restaurant was marvelous and the breakfast rich. The site of the hotel is perfect since it is at the very center of the city. Highly recommended!!

We really enjoyed our trip to pousada de Lisboa. The hotel is really central, you can do everything walking. There are many restaurant, shops close to the hotel. The room was really good, we didn't have the view on the praca do commercio, yet we had a nice terrasse always sunny :-) we could go the swim pool directly from the terrace. The breakfast was complete and good. The spa is cool too, and having a pool is really nice after walking all day long. The team is nice too. We recomand this place.
