Solar dos Poetas

Better signage would help. We stood in the square asking people who worked in the area for directions and no one coud tell us. We finally noticed the small sign near the door. Also, we asked for room service shortly after 10 p.m. and were refused.

When giving a 5* review, I have to remember that there are many ‘levels’ for such a rating. Solar do Poetas is NOT a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. But IT IS one of the best places you could chose to stay when visiting Lisbon. Located at the Placa Luis de Caoes, the hotel is at the start/end of the #28E tram. It’s just bocks from the Lisbon Metro, and many bus lines. Rossio Train Station is a 15 minute walk. Many tours start across the street in the Placa. Literally around the corner are tens of good restaurants. Just outside the door is a great bakery with gems to suit your sweet tooth. Our room was small, but adequate. We faced the Placa and were able to listen to the musicians and watch the crowds. We could see the River from our room. The bed was comfortable and room spotless. Guest services did whatever they could to make our stay pleasurable. I will not single out any specific person because I do not want to insult those not named. Suffice to say, everyone was great and made us feel as if we were family. The hotel offers early drop off of luggage and late pick up too. Sitting at the bar after a day of sightseeing was one of my favorite relaxations. The morning breakfast accompanied by piano was a great start for the day ahead. Remember to ask for a bottle of cold water before leaving (no charge). Coffee was available 24 hours a day. If we return to Lisbon, Sd Poetas will be on the top of our list of places to return to. Book with confidence.

We stayed here in late April 2024. We had a corner room on the third floor facing into the square. This is a lovely small hotel which really clean and crisp rooms. The staff are very friendly on reception. The hotel is in a great location for with lots of nice bars, restaurants and bars so close by. It cost about €8 in a taxi from the airport which about at 25 minute drive away so very cheap! Breakfast was quite simple but had a lovely selection of things to have before heading out to explore. You can also have bottles of water, tea and coffee for free whenever you request. The hotel difficult to spot as there is no big sign out side and isn’t a typical entrance to the a hotel. The lift is very small, just enough room for two people to be stood close to each other so if you don’t like small spaces or stairs then this wouldn’t be the hotel for you. I’d recommend this hotel and would choose it again if I return to Lisbon

Great stay, everything required for a short city break. Clean, tidy, amazing choice at breakfast. Location is superb. Only negative is no safe/tea or coffee in room and slow check in process. But after viewing many hotels in Lisbon this was a great choice!

Camera al quarto piano con ascensore non funzionante durante i 3 giorni di soggiorno. Prima stanza proposta la quinto piano con ripetitore 5G piazzato a 5 metri dalla finestra. Mi viene data una stanza al quarto piano dove non c’è neanche lo spazio per aprire la valigia a terra. Bagno modello a misura cabina telefonica. Posizione centralissima, colazione buona, stanze claustrofobiche. Non ci ritornerei.

Great find. Small elevator but it worked fine. The included breakfast buffet was the nicest buffet I’ve ever seen (for one included with your stay). Very convenient location.

La struttura si trova in posizione strategica: fuori dall'hotel si trova la fermata del mitico tram 28 e del 12 utilissimi per girare in città. Proprio difronte all'hotel si trova un parcheggio a pagamento (20€al giorno) che per chi arriva in città in auto è una gran comodità. L'hotel è pulito, il personale cordiale, la colazione abbondante, le stanze luminose. Buona l'insonorizzazione rispetto al via vai esterno, meno tra le camere adiacenti.

It was great and central to everything! Would definitely stay there again! The only drawback is that there is no minibar and the hotel doesn’t allow you to bring wine back to your room even though their own bar area is quite small!

I booked this hotel because of the great location in Lisbon and the very good reviews, however was not warned that one floor of the hotel, in an old building, was under construction. Service was pleasant; greeted by very nice local people who informed us about timings of breakfast, check-out times and the local area. After checking-in, was pointed to a clean, well-kept room, with basic amenities - and informed that you are not allowed any food or drink in the room, so there was no coffee/tea on offer there. Pulled our suitcases into the room and was greeted by the sound of drilling, followed by continuous hammering. Immediately I voiced my concern with the reception team and was told that they were not meant to be working at that time, after which they hammered quietly. For the next three days there was not a moment when we were in the room (morning and an hour or two before dinner) when there was not some building noise over our heads. On one occasion something dropped so heavily on the ceiling that a light bulb went, only to come back on again when something else dropped. Not sure I would return before checking if they had finished construction, which is a shame because the rest of the experience was very good.

Our room was very clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the square! The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really exceptional. We drove so the underground parking located directly across the street under the square was helpful. The entrance was a little hard to find from google maps because there isn’t a big sign outside but it was perfectly located for walking to everything in the city we wanted to do. Definitely recommend this wonderful property to others & we enjoyed our stay!

Such a welcoming hotel with fabulous staff . Including Diogo, Maria and Carla, all so helpful and generous with their attention. Rooms and bathrooms very clean. Quiet. Breakfast buffet was excellent with a good choice, and the breakfast staff were just lovely, special mention to all of them who were so smiley and obliging. A perfect place to stay to visit Lisbon, thankyou for looking after us

Wonderful welcoming staff and super clean room.

Each room in the hotel differs a lot in size and condition. The room we had originally booked was extremely small which was fine but had a damp / mould issue that had an unbearable smell. It looked like it had been previously painted over. Staff were lovely and changed us to a different room which was huge and much better. Beds / shower were good. Staff were very lovely. And breakfast was delicious. Excellent location and good soundproofing in the rooms.

The staff were wonderful & accommodating. The property along with all the rooms & common areas were spotless clean.

Spent a wonderful 4 nights here. Very very clean. The minute you walk in to the hotel you feel safe, welcomed and taken care of. The front desk staff is very nice. All shifts.

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable room for an affordable price. The hotel is located in a busy part of town but they have excellent soundproofing. The staff are friendly and the breakfast was tasty. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful hotel and all of the staff were kind, helpful and generous. Great breakfast too. Rooms were large and spotlessly clean Highly recommend

O pessoal do atendimento é nota mil, são cordiais, prestativos, atenciosos enfim merecem nota máxima. Quanto a limpeza também perfeita.

Concierge were all so friendly and helpful. Free unlimited water. The area in Lisbon was excellent. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast is included and has a good variety including fresh, delicious choices.

Our room had one window facing the wall all the air conditioning systems were installed. Not so nosy when closed but we could not open it for a min due to the noise and the warm air. Also the two double beds(?) were ok with me but too small for my husband so he could not sleep well.

The hotel delivered. Newly renovated, so it was super clean. The staff were friendly and the hotel ambience contributed to a calm space in the chaotic city. This was a good thing since the location is perfect for exploring the city, which is literally on your doorstep. The only negative with this hotel was the size of the rooms. There is very little floor space, so if you try to live out a suitcase you will trip over it. The bathroom was also very small and older, or larger might struggle (I had to step in the shower to close the door for example).

DISAPPOINTING TINY ROOM! I booked the place for two adults and got a double bed (not king or queen) with approximately 30cm (12”) space around the bed, that’s it!!! The entire room was just the bed no place to unpack, put the suitcases, or even walk without bumping each other. Bathroom has the tiniest sink, unable to fit hands, wash face or drink water.

Each room in the hotel differs a lot in size and condition. The room we had originally booked was extremely small which was fine but had a damp / mould issue that had an unbearable smell. It looked like it had been previously painted over. Staff were lovely and changed us to a different room which was huge and much better. Beds / shower were good. Staff were very lovely. And breakfast was delicious. Excellent location and good soundproofing in the rooms.

Solar dos Poetas is in a great location. The service we received from everyone we dealt with was outstanding. Very friendly and helpful. The room as very clean and comfortable. You’re on a very busy street so if you open your balcony doors it’s very loud but when it was bedtime we shut the doors and couldn’t hear anything. Rooms were very sound proof. Highly recommend staying here.

My husband and I loved everything about this hotel. Quiet. Great locations. Spacious room. Delicious breakfast.

Small hotel at a perfect location for exploring Lisbon either by foot or by Metro and trams. The sfaff is super helpfull. The breakfast is really good. The rooms are simple but practical and spacious with nice bathroom. We had a room not facing the street which means it was quiet and cool but the window facing a small shaft wich made it a bit dark and felt a bit confined. I can absolutely recommend this hotel.

Great hotel! We stayed there twice in the same room. It’s located in the city center next to a large plaza, within minutes to a metro station. The famous E28 tram line starting station is in front of the hotel. Lots of restaurants are near by. We were there during Christmas season, Christmas lights and market are in the plaza, people singing at the plaza too. We were on the 5th floor, with a large bath room with skylights. The room is very quiet at night. The hotel seems newly renovated, very clean, and the breakfast is great, there is always someone playing piano during breakfast.The stuff are very friendly, they packed us a to-go breakfast bag in our last day, because we needed to leave early to catch our flight. Highly recommended!

Location was good. View of square with balcony. Lovely

Concierge service was outstanding, friendly, and helpful. Free unlimited water bottles. Excellent breakfast included with good variety of fruits, cereals, pastries, eggs, mushrooms, coffee, etc. very fresh.

My stay was amazing. The staff made me feel comfortable and welcome. They were accommodating and helpful. The breakfast offered had a great variety of choices and was always fresh. The location cannot be beat! You walk outside the door and have everything nearby or a tram ride away.

Poor customer service and false advertisement! We selected and reserved a room with a kind bed (as advertised). When we arrived and settled into the room, we noticed that that bed was not king, it was a queen. So we asked. We were told that they do not have any king beds in the hotel, all beds are queen size and that Expedia mislabeled the listing. The hotel staff could really care less. They also made it clear that they prefer booking dot com over Expedia. Of course we went through all of the questions as to why this room was significantly more expensive than the others. Through this conversation I went online and showed them other "king" rooms that were being advertised on Expedia and I also went to Bookings.com and showed them the same listings with king beds. Miraculously, they found a room with a king bed, but we couldn\'t switch rooms until the following day. The room they were offering was smaller than what we paid for (it was explained the room pricing is based on the sq.ft. of the room). No discounts on a smaller room were offered and none have been received to date. The second day we were moved to the new room, we were not in the room long when the electrical box started making a loud humming noise and other electrical issues. No manager on site, but the manager did call hotel staff and said nothing that could be done. The manager never reached out to us, even though we asked to speak with them multiple times. The positive-Breakfast was good!

Front desk staff were so helpful!

We like the location, the choice of breakfast is great. But above all is the staff. Everyone of them are responsive ,attentive and really make sure that customer stay is relaxed and enjoyable. Our stay was great dispite some minor disruption, however all of the team respoded in a posotive way even the actual owner of the hotel was very nice and welcoming. We will have no hesitation in booking this hotel in the future, its the way hotel and staff should be run. See you in 2025 and beyond..

Had an amazing stay at Solar Dos Poetas. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was amazing - the front desk and all staff were very helpful with recommendations, questions and really added to the experience! Highly recommend for staying in the perfect central location in Lisbon.

Elevator is 2 person max and very small. Breakfast starts at 8am...all our tours start early so no tme to enjoy it. The rooms are small and front desk had a hard time understanding english. The room was super noisy with the occupants upstairs running ard all night almost like it was a party. We couldnt sleep all night for a early morning flt. Contacted front desk. No reply. Location was nice. Sister hotel up the street was 10 times better.

We loved our stay at Solar dos Poetas. The front desk staff were absolutely fantastic and went well above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Perfect location, room was very tastefully furnished and offered views of the square, the water and the rooftops.

The staff is very friendly, Antonio has excellent customer service skills. The room was very clean as well as the common areas. Breakfast offered a good variety of food, excellent. Every day during breakfast a very nice gentleman played the piano, what a great touch for a relaxing breakfast. I recommend Solar dos Poetas as a great hotel to stay, very welcoming.

Incredible staff

We stayed from Friday through Tuesday and our room faced the alley. Every night there were amplified loud noises coming from the street and bars that would continue till early morning. It was unbearable and we were not able to have restful nights. The hotel itself was very nice. Breakfast was great and had a variety of offerings. The staff was nice and helpful. However, I would probably not stay here again because of the noise. Not worth the money we spent.

Loved the location of this hotel! It was so easy walking around the main parts of Lisbon. Highly recommend!!

The hotel itself is comfortable and clean. 24 hour reception with a delicious breakfast available. Location itself is party central so expect lots of noise early hours of the morning and interrupted sleep.

As this is a renovated old building, there were some concerns about the facilities, but the balcony facing the square was very open. The square in front of the hotel is the tram stop and the metro station is nearby, and there is no shortage of food and shopping, making it the perfect location for sightseeing in the city. The staff were also kind and helpful in many ways.

Excellent breakfast!! Great central location

Great location for nightlife, restaurants, shopping, and exploring Lisboa!

숙소가 리스본 주요관광지에 접근하기 좋은 위치에요. 공항에서 전철로 오기도 편합니다. 한번 갈아타서 Baixa-Chico역에서 내리면 걸어서 1-2분 걸려요. 28번 트램 정류장도 코앞이라 편해요. 다만 워낙 보행자 트램 차량초행량이 많아 우버나 택시로 접근하기에는 불편합니다. 조식이 맛있고 직원들도 매우 친절해요

Breakfast buffet was the best we've ever seen in a hotel. Twin beds could use new mattresses. Staff were friendly, helpful and patient. We'd stay there again for sure.

A little noisy at night. Breakfast not until 8 but many tours start at 7,30 or 8. However, we found out they would make a picknic breakfast if asked. Location is great. Walkable to everything.

Great find. Small elevator but it worked fine. The included breakfast buffet was the nicest buffet I’ve ever seen (for one included with your stay). Very convenient location.

メトロから出口を間違えなければ、遠くはないですが、間違ってしまって地上に上がってしまうと、タクシーを使わないと坂が多いので大変なことになります。何番出口という表記はないかと思いますが。地下はネットも繋がらなかったです。 朝食は美味しくとても満足ですが、コーヒーメーカーの順番待ちが長く2台あればと思いました。 部屋は綺麗でとても満足です。

Great location with tram, metro and taxi rank all very close by. Spotless room. Helpful staff. Live piano music at breakfast!

We really enjoyed our stay! The breakfast is lovely and the live pianist is an extra touch that made this a great spot to stay in Lisbon. It’s also very well located, walking distance to the metro and trams.

Absolutely beautiful!! So comfortable and every detail attended to. Amazing and friendly staff. Super clean. The most amazing breakfast of ANYWHERE!! Highly recommended property that competes with the best!!!

This is an excellently-run hotel overlooking a great square in center of Lisbon. The staff are all wonderful, and the extensive breakfast buffet is also a great plus (even a pianist performs each morning during the buffet). There are many hotels in central Lisbon, but you will not regret staying here! We will definitely return to this hotel!
