Casa de Sao Mamede Hotel

Pros: This is a smallish hotel on a busy street across from the Sao Mamede Church. It is in a good location for the tourist in the Rato neighborhood with a short walk to the metro station - the best way to get about the city. Uber is also available in Lisbon. The hotel is quite beautiful with a grand staircase off the entrance with a stained glass window at the top. Two elegant sitting rooms are available off the lobby. The breakfast room is also beautifully decorated, including Portuguese tiles on the walls and has a nice view of the church across the street. The breakfast is excellent, with scrambled eggs, bacon and a variety of other options including breads and pastries, jams, and good coffees and teas. The staff were all very friendly, efficient and helpful. During our 9 night stay our room and bathroom were kept clean and neat. Cons: None.

Great location close to Rato metro. Close to restaurants & bars. 10 min walk into the centre of Lisbon. Lovely old house. Very clean. Good & very adequate breakfast. Lovely non intrusive staff in every department. We had asked for a quiet room & as high up as possible - our room was quiet & not on the main road (room 3) but I could hear the footsteps of the guests in the room above us especially when they were leaving at 5.00 am! Just unlucky. Room was on ground floor. Minor point - but it would have been good to have been advised about the free walking tours & where to get them when we checked in. Maybe we should have asked though? All in all a lovely & comfortable hotel which I would return to. Took the advice of a previous review & asked for fresh milk each evening which Paulo kindly provided.

This hotel is in an old manor house. It is very charming. Our room was decorated in an old fashioned way that pleased us and it was very roomy. The hotel is conveniently located for walking, shopping, and eating. There are a couple of excellent bakery cafes just a block away. There is a fado show in a theater down the street. There is a restaurant down the hill just a bit that locals eat at with friendly staff and good, inexpensive food. A trolley runs down the street that will take you down to the waterfront. There is a metro stop a block away. We were very happy with this place.

We stayed at this hotel for a full week and couldn't have been more impressed with the staff, the room, the breakfast and the perfect location for our visit to Lisbon. The reception desk was staffed 24 hours and everyone couldn't have been more accommodating, especially Paulo. He went out of his way to make sure we had the most pleasant stay possible. The price of the rooms was also very reasonable. We stayed in room #1 on the first floor and it was very spacious and nicely decorated. The bathroom was huge. Breakfast each morning was served from 7:30 to 10:30 and consisted of a nice buffet of hot and cold foods, like eggs, bacon, juices, a variety of fruits, pastries and cereals. The hotel is located close to the Botanical Gardens and to the Pombal Square where the tour buses are situated. It was also close to Elevador da Gloria, the furnicular. There were a number of nice restaurants nearby. We frequented Real Fabrica several times and Cisters which is a modest restaurant but had great Portuguese food. All in all, we would defintely stay at this hotel again. Great value!!

We've stayed here several times and always had a good stay. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable, as are the bathrooms, service is friendly and helpful. This small family hotel deserves more than its three stars. Room rates are very reasonable for Lisbon. Highly recommended.
