I confess that at first I thought the decor a bit macabre. But after a strange first impression, I understood how unusual being can be wonderfully intriguing. Great idea. Located right next to the memorial of Fernando Pessoa. Or rather, his old house. Excellent experience.

Misused. With an excellent space but badly decorated, in an ergonomic way.
Sofas with exaggerated seating depth, comfortable bed, horrible bedside tables, not antique but waste.
The television cannot be seen from the bed, I commented at the reception and I was told that it was so by choice, that in any of the rooms it is possible to watch the television from the bed. Who was the decorator who decides what people can and cannot do or see? They won't think I'm obsessed with TV, nothing like that, I just disagree with the arrogance of imposing rules!
Difficult location for those with a car.
Did not miss

i love it here:
Location = great (Tram 28e 5 minutes on foot, Metro just as far)
Staff = competent, personable, helpful
Room = very friendly and stylishly furnished, comfortable, of course very clean, air conditioning perfect.
WiFi = 100% (if you have any problems, just ask, you will get a personal WiFi hotspot)
Only 4 stars and the director knows why.

Great room, comfy sleep and very clean. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Nice continental breakfast with a good selection. Located away from the centre however tram, bus and metro stations are within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. Would not hesitate to go back.

Very pleasant little hotel. To be highlighted is the friendly and courteous staff. The rooms are attractive and, above all, very clean. Breakfast is also very good.

The hotel is quietly located in a not so touristy part of Lisbon. The connection to the hotspots is very good. There are several restaurants in all price ranges within walking distance. Above all, a very nice mercado.

Beautiful hotel ! Our room was spacious and clean. My only complaints are the old fashioned key we were made to tote around instead of typical key cards and the showers poor design. The water leaked all over the floor and the shower head placement makes no sense compared to the tub. Their breakfast and dinner is worth a try. Our breakfast was included so we opted to eat in every day. The hotel is located along some narrow streets so be prepared for some uphill/downhill walking if you re venturing out.

The Hotel da Estrela has a picnic service on request at the weekends, which allows you to enjoy a fantastic picnic in the gardens of this beautiful hotel in the center of Lisbon. Tastes good for a special break.

Had an amazing experience in this place. We felt really appreciated. The breakfast is simple beautiful, great selection of food offered. The room is one of the best I have ever slept in. What a bathroom!!! Stuff is simply outstanding! Love the idea to give a chance for the students from the Tourism academy. As a tourism industry worker myself, I found this a brilliant opportunity for the new workers generation! We had to leave the hotel around 4am and we were served a complimentary breakfast so we could be fed on our trip back home! Such a touch! 10 out of 10 surely!

The worst hotel I've ever stayed at. The hotel doesn't hire actual staff - they hire interns and trainees who are so young and have no idea what they are doing. I was trying to enter the hotel with a baby in hand and a toddler + stroller and the intern at the front desk didn't even know she had to at least help me open the door! The interns/trainees helping at breakfast stand behind the counter and just stare at you. Very sweet kids but they are so young and basically the face of the hotel. THE WEIRDEST PART - the key system. there's only one key and if you stay in the room while your partner steps out, there's no way to enter. Just bizarre. Complimentary water - just one for the full stay versus one per day. Again - bizarre. Bizarre bizarre bizarre

I highly recommend this hotel. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Good breakfast too. We had one lunch and one dinner which we enjoyed. The hotel is 5 minutes walk to Basilica Estrella and park. You can walk into the centre of Lisbon in about 30 minutes. Uber are plentiful. Be careful of the tram from the Basilica to Lisbon centre, pickpockets are common.

We stayed here for 7 days in one of their suites while we were in Lisbon. Their service is reasonable and the breakfast buffet is fine as per what we have experienced in Europe. They don t seem to stock any basic medicines such as an antihistamine or an aspirin. Unfortunately we ended up needing both at odd hours. We don t know the norms of European hotels (this was the first trip we felt the need for medicines), but some premium Asian hotels do tend to have some basic medicines in stock, or would arrange for you on short notice.

The price of the suite was reasonable, considering that we visited in July. The place is reasonably well situated if you intend to take Uber to travel like we did. Most tourist places and malls are about 10-15 minutes away by Uber. For us an added advantage was that it is very close to Jardim Da Estrella, where our 4 year old daughter had a great time at the play area.

The suite is aesthetically pleasing and quite spacious, but frankly it feels like the designer had a degree in design, but not in practicality. The light of the room and the sitting area are linked (we could not figure any other solution) so when our daughter was sleeping, we had to make do with a small lamp in the sitting area. The shower area has transparent glass, hence you have to warn your child not to enter the room when you are taking a shower. The room has no lock on it. The bathtub is the only place for a shower and it does not have a shower curtain, hence if you don t want to get the whole bathroom wet, you have to settle for quite an uncomfortable shower.

I would have rated them 4 stars had it not been for the practical aspects of the room left out in design. But these are easily fixable issues and hopefully the hotel will take note.

Bof bof bof .... good average for a four star. The view from the 1st floor is zero, not to say horrible! The TV on the side wall does not allow you to see it well from the bed. And absolutely nothing to do in the neighborhood !!!! Not even to eat ...
It is a certainty I will not return to this establishment.

Nice hotel with good location to metro, bus and tram. Very active staff who make an excellent effort. Taxi to the airport around 15
Room well-kept and inconspicuous, very reliable room service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Little things could be improved, like the television that switches itself off after 60 minutes and then only works via a switch on the device.

Its a beautiful boutique hotel. Their restaurant has a limited menu but the food on there is really great. We ordered the Pork Leg snd it was so good. They also have a very nice Sangria. Breakfast was a bit sparce. They said they dont serve sausages and they didnt have any condiments. The interior design is absolutely fabulous

Beautiful butik hotel with perfect location. This hotel is small but silent and cosy. The rooms are quite spacious and nicely furnished. Cleaning service was excellent, everyday the room looked neat and clean. The breakfast was nice and fresh. Fresh pastry was really delicious. The staff was professional and very helpful. We stayed at the hotel a week and the staff remembered what coffee to serve us everyday. That was very nice. Also, the staff in the reception were very responsive to any requests or inquiries. At some moment, we started feeling like this place was home.
Location is perfect! It is close to metro and city centre. 10 min from the hotel you have two hop on hop off buses stops, if you want to take a city tour. The neighborhood seems quite and safe. There are several local taverns around, if you wish to experience something very Portuguese.
However, I wish there was an iron in the room. I guess the staff would lend me one if I asked but still iron should be in the room.

The label Small Luxury Hotels of the World is misleading. A little tired design / boutique hotel but definitely not a luxury hotel standard, not even 4 star hotel standard. Breakfast regarding the quality of the More

Very nice and clean place. Friendly staff and good food. Expect some student interns from the nearby tourism college, but they are ok really. The only reason for 4* (not 5*) is that the restaurant service is overpriced at 3eur per person - and that's excluding any tips which would come on top (sorry, no tipping from me under those T&Cs).

Good hotel but maybe you miss the bar that you have to ask at reception and they upload it from the restaurant and the restaurant has few dishes and some do not deserve the category. The octopus quite good the normal cod and the beef tender beef. Very simple breakfast for what you earn at the hotel you lose at the bar and restaurant. By the way in the room the book is in Portuguese, English and French. I have recommended that one more leaf in Spanish does not cost much.

Great place, the suit (21) is very spacious. Bedroom with a bathroom en-suite. Living room with a big couch, some comfy chairs and a desk. Very quit room. Put your car in the hotel parking lot (extra) because finding a parking space in the area is like winning the lottery.
Some minor fixes to be done in the room.

Great hotel if you get the right room. I am dropping a star simply because there weren't wifi that they promised in the rooms
Otherwise great garden terrace, library / open space with an "Honesty Bar".
It's has a very Nouveau concept London can adopt with its "Pay as you feel" restaurant. Which seems to serve amazing dishes.
The room service was prompt and great to my delight. The breakfast however needs vast improvements to Portuguese 4* standards..
You be the judge from my pics.
