Family owned small hotel in good location. Wonderful hosts. Not everybody spoke English, but they always tried to be helpful. The hotel is basic, but very clean. The 3 bed room is very small, but we managed to use the space efficiently. Good breakfast with a small variety of hot and cold options, in a very small room. You can walk to many attractions and many restaurants. The few restaurants and souvenir shops not far down the street make area overcrowded many times. You can also hear the music from advertising at the nearby theatre till late night, but it didn't bother us much as the windows offer very good noise muffling. Anyway, very close proximity is really quiet, we were happy to not see crowds in front of the hotel entrance.

This property is in an ideal location. It is safe and family run. Just remember this is an old building with creaking floors and all that comes with an old building.

Amazing customer service and splendidly quiet at night, despite being close to the action. Also, the breakfast was delicious, including juicy peaches and made-to-order eggs.

Good, reliable budget accommodation option
Coincidentally, I had stayed at this hotel a few years ago. Updates since then have improved the property. I stayed in a single room, which was compact but sufficient. There was a small desk area where I could do some work on my laptop. Other than that, there was a single bed, a small night table with bedside light, an open closet, and a space where I could put my small amount of luggage. The WC had a shower. In-room amenities are minimal--a small bar of soap, in-shower combination body wash/shampoo, and a water glass. Prices for the room include an extended Continental breakfast, with Portuguese standards as well as scrambled eggs, sausages, and a vegetarian pasta dish. The hotel is well-located, very close to Rossio station/Restauradores square, making it easy to walk to many sites. The hotel itself is quiet, but sound-proofing can be an issue. For a few nights, there were three very boisterous guests staying in an adjoining room and I was glad that I thought to throw a pair of ear plugs in when I packed. This is a common problem in older hotels, though. The biggest plus is the family that owns the hotels--they work on-site and are very hospitable, helpful, and--in the case of one of the sons in particular--happy to chat about the city and provide some great restaurant recommendations.

The location was excellent and the hotel management was very friendly. We were in a triple and it was large enough for us but someone with a lot of luggage would probably find it too small. I would definitely stay here again!

Location and best customer service.
Great location, the hotel is small but has a good size room and excellent bathroom. Breakfast was included in our room rate and it's a fair breakfast with scramble eggs, pasta, assorted breads, yogurt and cheeses. Juice, tea and great coffe . Everyday is the same so w skip every other day. It's family owned and everyone goes out of their way to assist you. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Lisbon. Highly recommended!

good hotel in a good location
The hotel had a very lovely reception area, very clean and modern. The rooms are also a good size with a comfortable bed and a decent sized bathroom. The bath was just a little dated. Staff are all very nice, although during breakfast it was a little uncomfortable due to one member of staff staring in our direction when getting breakfast. Other than that, good location and a lovely stay.

The owners/operators of Hotel Portuense were incredibly helpful when my travel companion had a medical emergency which required a visit to the hospital. They called a taxi for us, giving the driver instructions, stored our bags (it was our checkout day), and helped us book another hotel room down the street when we needed to stay an extra night in Lisbon. We won't forget their kindness and generosity. The rooms were clean and well appointed, the breakfast included a variety of tasty options, and the location can't be beat. I'd stay there again if I returned to Lisbon.

Rooms were incredibly clean. Breakfast was very good. But the greatest feature of the hotel was the sons of the owners (Sadik and Hussein) who attended the front desk and helped with travel plans and arrangements. Extremely nice and helpful.

8 nights in Portuense Hotel Lisbon
last month in July I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. I was truly satisfied with my stay. The location of this hotel is excellent being just one street parallel to the main street of the centre. You are simply in the centre of the city with Rossio and Restaurado metros and there is also the railway station making travelling very easy. The hotel was very clean, the breakfast was very good and freshly prepared every morning. The staff was very helpful and full of information. They even helped me make printout of certain tickets which I had on my email. If I had to visit Lisbon I will surely go back to this Hotel Portuense

The location was fantastic. Easy to reach - blue line metro is 2 blocks away - plethora of restaurants nearby - wifi was great - Saddiq and Hussein were very pleasant and very helpful with directions, trains trams etc. as were their staff. I would happily stay again if I head to Lisbon - would have been nice to have a kettle for tea and coffee - but stay was excellent -

Nice hotel in a very central location. Surprised to see a lot of construction work opposite and next to hotel. But this stopped in the early evening and didn’t start back up until late morning. However in the evenings we could hear people walking up and down the stairs. So it was a restless nights. The staff were nice and the breakfast was good.

Super awesome location and hotel
We just returned from our 3 fun days at Lisbon, Portugal This hotel is a perfect location right in the heart of the city Center. All walkable neighbourhoods and touristy spots. The hotel staff is very welcoming and will provide you with tons of ideas if you want. The hotel is kept super clean and the rooms are also kept very tidy. The AC worked pretty well as well and the mattresses are super comfy. The breakfast is way beyond for what a two star hotel can provide. There was an option of hot scrambled egg, mixed veges and sausages. 3 different kinds of bread....fruit...cereal....coffee...tea...cookies and couple more desserts. Go ahead and book this place without any doubts.
