Great little hotel in a great location. Rooms are small but very functional. It is on a busy road lined with bars and restaurants, so it is loud at night. We did not mind, as we went in November but might be something to keep in mind if you are visiting in the summer months. The hotel is opposite the funicular de Bica and we loved walking up to barrio alto every night for a little stroll. The metro is like 5 minutes away and you can walk to the center in like 10-15 minutes. Staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet was great.

I recently stayed at Beca Hotel for a couple of nights with two other adults (wife and daughter), and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations and quick to respond to any requests we had. The food was also excellent, with a great variety of options for breakfast, and the quality was impressive. However, the one downside was the bunk bed in our triple room. It wasn’t very comfortable to climb up and down, especially for an adult. It felt a bit awkward and less convenient than a standard bed setup. If you’re booking a triple room and prefer not to use a bunk, it might be worth checking if other configurations are available. Aside from this, everything else was well-managed, and I’d still recommend Beca Hotel for its location, service and food, especially if the bunk bed isn’t a concern for your group.

The hotel is cute and clean, with excellent service. They have a great breakfast, though not enough seating. We had 3 rooms and one of the 3 smelled so bad that we came home with all our clothes smelling. They no longer do the mini bar but there is water and coffee in the rooms. The rooms are very modern and stylish but not functional. We had 3 drawers, one with a safe in it. There is no desk, bedside table or dresser to put anything on. Even our phones had to be plugged in to the headboard and set on the bed to charge. I ended up using a tiny step stool from the bathroom to have water by the bed at night.

From arriving and being checked in by an exceptionally helpful Nicole (helped us buy tickets for that evening's Benfica match). To leaving early in the morning after 5 very comfortable nights with a take away breakfast prepared for us to take with us. Great location, close to excellent transport links which enabled us to get to Sintra and Cascais by train and walk quickly to many of Lisbon’s main tourist spots. Excellent restaurant recommendations meant we had two superb fish based evening meals and the excellent breakfast was more than enough to keep us going through the day. Would happily recommend the hotel and would go again in a flash.

A Gem of a Hotel
This hotel was a great value and a wonderful place to start our trip. The people were helpful and friendly and the room had great amenities! We enjoyed the breakfast each morning that was included with our room especially my flat white coffee each morning. I would highly recommend this gem!
