Absolutely
gorgeous
hotel,
so
glad
we
chose
this
place.
The
hotel
is
down
a
narrow
alley
from
the
main
road
/
tram
route
through
Alfama.
The
hotel
is
perfectly
located
to
explore
Alfama
on
foot,
with
lots
of
bars
and
restaurants
locally.
We
were
greeted
by
a
member
of
staff
that
helped
to
carry
our
cases
to
the
hotel.
Our
room
was
ready
before
the
stated
check
in
time,
and
bags
were
taken
up
to
the
room
for
us.
Our
room
was
lovely,
not
big
but
definitely
enough
space.
Air
conditioning
was
effective,
it
was
clean
and
modern.
We
found
the
curtain
separating
the
glass
shower
partition
from
the
bedroom
an
interesting
choice
but
it's
entertaining
in
the
right
company...
We
loved
the
rooftop
bar
/
terrace,
a
gorgeous
spot
to
enjoy
river
views
and
watch
cruise
ships
when
they're
in.
There's
a
small
/
shallow,
red
tiled
pool
which
is
beautiful
but
didn't
get
much
use
during
our
stay
due
to
being
a
bit
cold
in
March
and
and
a
bit
public,
with
anyone
using
the
terrace
bar
looking
on.
Cruise
ships
were
in
on
3
of
the
6
days
we
were
there,
so
we
were
able
to
watch
those
and
also
enjoy
an
uninterrupted
view
if
the
river
during
our
stay,
whilst
drinking
wine
and
enjoying
the
tapas
menu.
The
croquettes,
potato
skins
(with
beetchup)
were
especially
delicious.
Breakfast
was
excellent,
both
the
made-to-order
and
buffet
elements.
The
poached
eggs
were
perfectly
poached,
the
crêpes
are
very
small
so
ordering
two
is
a
good
option.
We
found
all
staff
friendly
and
helpful,
in
particular
those
working
at
breakfast
and
the
bar,
offering
advice
on
the
menu
and
also
local
activities.
