"We only have positives for this hotel. It is very well located. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Our concierge gave us helpful tourism information and instructed our taxi drivers for us. The catering staff put on an early breakfast for us, with no notice, before we had to leave for a flight."
"Our stay at Bairro Alto Hotel was nothing short of exceptional! The location is absolutely perfect - right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore everything Lisbon has to offer. "
"This the definition of a 5 star hotel. We were especially impressed with the staff’s friendly, welcoming attitudes. No first class snobbery here - just comfortable, clean, luxurious rooms; a lovely breakfast; and thoughtful, attentive service in a great part of town."
"I was lucky to spend two nights at this genuinely boutique hotel this week and I was so pleased that I chose a hotel which was smaller than the ones I typically stay in when travelling for business. The location is very handy with some of Lisbon's best restaurants all on the doorstep of the hotel and the river a very short stroll away."
"The room was immaculate, beautifully designed, and filled with every amenity we could possibly need. The bed felt like sleeping on a cloud, and the view from our window was a delightful bonus. The location is perfect - close enough to major attractions to make getting around a breeze, but tucked away enough to feel like a peaceful retreat after a busy day of exploring."
