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.
PERFECT location, fantastic breakfast and very nice staff. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this 3star hotel The breakfast was top-notch for a free continental in Europe! Has an elevator even!!!! The rooms are small but you shouldn’t be in your room— ur in Lisbon! Perhaps the best shower with strong water flow I have ever had in Europe!!! Signage outside hotel is a bit problematic— took us a bit to figure out where we were going. Bathroom is tiny but very nice LARGE shower. IF you are a large person with wide hips— the toilet may be an issue— they installed a metal toilet paper holder that completely jams you in the hips— horrible placement really. If u are skinny—no problem! Love this hotel— Will recommend to all!
Really cute hotel. The furnishings and the detail impeccable. Had a guy playing piano during breakfast was so nice. The breakfast food is excellent. The only drawback was the small room and bathroom the price. But it’s in an expensive area I guess. However the staff, especially the receptionist-we’re EXCELLENT!!
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 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.
Stuff is amazing!!! They helped with everything!
Breakfast is yummy!
Very clean!
Location is the best!
Thank you guys for making my 2 days stay in Lisbon so great!!!
What a fabulous place! We changed our accommodation in Lisbon and were so pleased. This boutique hotel has been beautifully restored and is located in Chiado opposite a lively square and surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and shops. Despite its location, the lovely rooms are quiet and comfortable and we slept extremely well. The staff are friendly and provide outstanding service. The breakfast is excellent.
