Castelo Holidays from £256

It was a great trip!

I'm not local so I will call the room with shower/toilet a "bathroom." It's a contemporary hotel. Bathroom is immediately to the right after storage. It's an open bathroom with lightly frosted glass between bed area and bathroom. There is a large gap near the wall that lets you see and physically reach through to the bed area. There is no privacy. The shower is not fully enclosed so water splashes on the floor. But, the shower itself has great water pressure and heats up quick. It has a handheld head and waterfall head. The toilet is in a separate small room with a door. The room is nice with a comfortable bed, desk, and chairs. The main lights are controlled by switches that only let you choose several sets of lights at a time (all bathroom lights, "relax" lights, all on, all off etc). These lights cannot be individually turned on, only some lamps can. TV is fine and has a lot of channels. There is a mini refrigerator, but the bathroom's sliding door needs to be closed to open it. Hotels windows opened directly into the alleys next to the building, which are frequently used by pedestrians. Fitness center is ok, but doesn't open on time. Spa and sauna is included. The breakfast here is one of the best I've seen anywhere. Mostly continental style buffet with bacon/ham, sausage, smoked salmon, egg, mushrooms... but has Nespresso, fruits, breads, juices, and more. Had some minor English language barriers with front desk. Front desk has some complimentary toiletries.

The hotel is beautiful, the room was amazing ! Beautiful view

SUPER lovely staff, a great breakfast, and nice modern rooms. Lovely lobby and a great courtyard. Location in Alfama, in a mix of tiny streets, nice restaurants and right on the tram 28 line. Perfect.
