Miradouro da Senhora do Monte lies less than 1 km away, and the iconic Tram 28 stops directly outside the hotel.

“In Lisbon's oldest quarter, this place strikes me as a blend of historic charm and modern comfort; the river-view rooms and artistic touches, especially Bordallo II's work, make it distinctive. It's the kind of spot where you can enjoy a vibrant neighborhood by day and retreat to a comfortable, quiet room at night, plus the free minibar seems like a really nice touch. I think it could be a particularly good choice for couples or anyone wanting a bit of authentic Lisbon.”
