Portas do Céu Apartments

What guests think

Portas do Céu Apartments earns strong praise for its central Alfama location near sights, with many guests enjoying spacious, air-conditioned units and helpful staff, while several note street noise at night and the area’s steep, sometimes slippery walks.

Rooms are often large and well equipped with kitchenettes, but feedback mentions very firm beds, creaky floors, minimal bathroom shelving, and a few dark or awkward layouts. Cleanliness is widely appreciated, though isolated reports cite a stained sofa, bathroom mold, or minor leaks. Service is described as friendly with clear communication and smooth self check-in, though a couple of guests experienced delays or an unstaffed office. Expect a well-located, self-catering base with urban buzz rather than complete quiet.

Room seems big in pictures, but the pitched ceiling takes a lot of the space on that side of the bedroom (a bit of a hazard to wake up in the middle of the night and forget that rafters are there). My biggest issue was in the bathroom: lighting is very poor making it hard for doing make up and getting ready, next to no space on the vanity to place toiletries, no ledge of shelving in shower so you have to place everything on the floor (shampoo, shower gel, etc) Location is nice, close distance to 2 view points (miradouros), it is located on the hills of Lisbon but close to sites of interest and the hike is not bad at all. Bed was comfortable, 4th floor has a nice view, elevator works well and everything seemed really clean.

The location was excellent and staff were very helpful and responsive! The hotel is on a hill and somewhat busy street (they do provide ear plugs) Rooms are very spacious and well stocked for longer stays with good A/C. The bed however was very hard and uncomfortable, I wish they had mattress toppers or something to protect our backs and hips from the springs.

First, I’m going to list pros This apartment located in great area, close to major restaurants and attractions Apartment was clean bed was comfortable and room was quiet as we requested. We had great little patio and our location was protected by other building so we didn’t have to listen to the noises from busy street. Staff was very friendly and helpful. This apartment is great for young couples to enjoy Lisbon. Now for cons If you going to be booking apartment with Terrace keep in mind there is no elevators to it as it located on the second floor. Stairs even though they are wide, there is no railings and stairs are very slippery. Also, when you exit the main door, the sidewalk is sloping and slippery so make sure if you are in Lisbon and in this particular apartment have very good griping shoes. Lisbon is a very beautiful city and this apartment location is on the top of the hill so if you’re gonna be booking it, I recommend shoes with excellent grip so you don’t have any accidents. Other than this enjoy and have a great stay in Lisbon and immerse yourself in amazing food, culture, and music.

Room was perfect with a/c, spacious, clean, kitchenette with fridge, coffee maker, dishes etc. Perfect for a longer stay as there was a cooktop. We only had breakfast in our room. Lots of restaurants within walking distance (right across the street!) Staff was great and checkin was smooth. Excellent communication and they arranged an airport transfer for our party of 6. All 6 of us enjoyed the rooms and locations. Bring your comfortable walking shoes, lots of hills in Lisbon and the cobblestone was slippery. Well worth the money!

We booked the Premium Apartment on the 4th floor (4D) – absolutely not worth it. The only positive thing was the location and the fact that our apartment faced the courtyard, so it was quiet. Everything else was disappointing: - Even though we provided our arrival time, nobody was there – we had to wait 45 minutes outside before someone finally showed up - The apartment looks much better in the pictures than in reality - Couch had a huge stain - Bathroom is tiny, has no window, very loud ventilation and unpleasant lighting - Bed is extremely hard and uncomfortable, with a plastic cover under the sheet that makes noise and feels awkward - Service is unacceptable: guests must take out their own trash, only 2 rolls of toilet paper provided (any extra costs extra), €45 charge for makeup/sunscreen stains on towels or sheets – if stains don’t come out, you have to pay for replacements For the price, this is outrageous – absolutely not recommended.

Great location in Alfama with bus and trolley stops nearby as well as being in easy walking distance to many places of interest. Room and bed comfortable and spacious. Nice to be able to spread out. It was great to have the small kitchen to prepare small meals/snacks. Very close to many restaurants and bars as well. On the downside, one can hear people moving about in the apartment upstairs and it was loud enough to wake me even with earplugs. Checking in was easy and property communicated well.

The staff was nice and the apartment was fine. It was spacious but the bathroom definitely lacked at least one shelf and they charged for ridiculous things. They charged for amenities, towels, even the toilet paper which was clearly the cheapest and thinnest they could find. There's other apartments in the same price range in nicer locations that won't charge you for an extra towel. In addition, the parking they suggest is the absolute worse. Terrible staff, not close, and they take cash only in 5 and 10s.

The apartment is quite large, although there is a narrow staircase to get up to. The office isn't always staffed so there may be off chance that you'd need to wait a bit to find the staff. They are nice to hold our luggage before the room was ready and after checkout though. The bedroom is not on main street so it's quiet enough. The living room is on main street so can get noisy, as there is almost no soundproofing at all for these old buildings. We were told there would be street parties in June so it may get noisy around that time, but it was quiet for us in May.

Très agréable séjour. Appartement spacieux nous étions trois un adulte et deux adolescents pour 5 nuits Bien équipé et spacieux. Pas de parking. Parking public à 350 mètres environ, 10€ par jour. Bien placé dans le quartier de l’Alfama sur la hauteur, sur la ligne de tramway 15E et 12E à proximité du château et de l’église Santa Luzia. Apparemment côté rue. Le bruit de la rue ne nous a pas gêné car vers 23h le quartier est calme. Il n’ya pas de bar en dessous…Des restaurants à proximité dans le quartier mais à 23 heures il n’y a plus trop de service. À proximité une vue magnifique. Le tramway 28E dessert des points stratégiques, très pratique pour remonter le soir après avoir beaucoup marché.
