Hotel Portuense Lisboa

My third Lisbon visit and first time staying in this part of the city. This is a smaller and very clean hotel with a simple aesthetic that is centrally located and close to Avenida de Liberdade. I booked based on walkable location and the reviews, plus the overall value for the hotel category. I also had family staying nearby on the Avenida in a pricier hotel and so this hotel location was convenient for me to meet up with them. You can walk one direction on the hotel's street and the neighborhood gets more crowded and lively; and walk the other direction and it seems more local and quiet. Plenty of food choices are nearby within walking distance. My single bed was very comfortable!! I slept very well! While the windows in my single room did not open (as is characteristic of many hotels), there was an AC unit I used at times (I was there at the beginning of October). Bathroom space is tight, as is typical of smaller European hotels. Continental breakfast available downstairs including fresh coffee. There is also a water/soda vending machine and coffee machine. I believe there were recent updates while fortunately preserving the architectural integrity of the building. I noticed that some rooms have Juliet balconies which adds to the charm. A friendly and helpful staff/team. Professionally run (and I believe by the same family for many years). I always felt welcome! Glad I stayed here.

My wife and I have been travelling to Portugal for over 12 years. Whenever we are in Lisbon we aim to stay at Hotel Portuense. Ok it doesn’t have 5-star rating, but then its rates are very reasonable for a hotel located in the centre of Lisbon. The hotel is very close to restaurants and places of interest (you can walk to the waterfront), rooms are clean, the bed is (very) comfortable and the breakfast is excellent. Furthermore, the management and staff are very hospitable and helpful. It is always a pleasure to stay at Hotel Portuense.

Great location in the center walking distance for all sites , restaurants and shopping stores. We booked a triple room with breakfast and room was big and clean. Surprisingly the breakfast was very good and varied, for a 2 star hotel and the service was really nice. Its a family business and you can feel how warm and helpful and welcoming the staff is. The only thing missing is the safe box in the room . Definitely will come back ! Very recommended!

This hotel is located just off the Avenue de Liberdade near the Hard Rock. It's conveniently located within walking distance of good shopping and restaurants. Despite it's location, I was shocked how quiet it was. The room was small but well equipped. The breakfast was just so-so. The cost was reasonable, especially given it's proximity to some very high end hotels and shopping.
