7.9

Buon Hotel, situato in centro città; molto comodo per girare a piedi. Buon servizio di colazione. Personale disponibile e competente. Raccomandato.

9.6

Great location and value for money, short walk to all attractions, staff really friendly and helpfull. For the price I'd certainly recommend this hotel.

The hotel was fantastic. It is located on the top of the hill and we had a room on the 5th floor with a great view of the city. The staff was very helpful and the included breakfast was superb.

9.8

The best service during all our travel through Europe; exceeded our expectative. Very kind and helpful staff.

4.8

We had a nice stay in Lisbon but the hotel did not quite meet our expectations. The room was very loud due to two big elevators going up and down all the time. The breakfast room is actually locatet in the soutterain, which is not quite nice. The breakfast was ok, but nothing special really. The hotel per se need some improvements, especially in the common areas which are quite unconfortable. However, the location is very good. We could reach in few minutes the city center and the very nice Bairo Alto area. Overall we would only recommend it for a short stay and only if you plan to enjoy the city and not hotel amenities.

9.3

We were very pleased that the hotel lived up to expectations - it was a simple, clean and a well run hotel with a good breakfast. Paulo on reception was very helpful & informative. After a day of walking, we found the best way of getting back to the hotel was to use the elevator Gloria & then it was approx. a 5 minute walk down hill to the hotel. The CD player in the room was a nice touch & as we had taken some CDs with us, it was very relaxing listening to music as we got changed to go out for a meal in the evening. Although we are not vegetarian, we had 2 most enjoyable & reasonably priced meals at the vegatarian restaurant across the road from the hotel. The building has been nicely restored & the staff were very pleasant & helpful. The hotel recommended we should visit the Restaurant Casa de Fados to hear Fado music. The music was most enjoyable but the food was expensive & most disappointing. We had 2 main courses, 2 espresso coffees, a bottle of ordinary wine & a bottle of water & our bill was E107 which included E14 of service charges. The waiters seemed more interested in the music than in doing their job & I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone & needless to say, we would not return. On the old trams there are signs warning about pickpockets & my husband had first hand experience of this when we were getting off the tram at the castle. They removed his wallet from his trouser pocket, took the E50 & then handed him his wallet back complete with the 2 Lisboa cards still in it having told him he had dropped it! It wasn't until we were just about to pay for coffee that he realised his money had gone & luckily we had spare money at the bottom of our rucksack. Even luckier, my husand's credit cards were in a separate wallet in a separate pocket for which we were very grateful.

family break with two teenage children in two rooms. Helpful staff pleasant hotel with nice breakfast. Only downgraded the quietness of the room as we had a pigeon on the ledge outside our window cooing each morning. Smaller hotel feel. Too many reviews meantion it being in a steep road...Lisbon is hilly!!! Third holiday and fourth hotel in Lisbon in last 2 years...yes I'd stay here again.

9.4

This is a great hotel and the people are very friendly. They go out of their way to help you. The breakfast was the only down side in that not much choice for Veg people. Overall very good location.

9.7

Have to agree with all the positive reviews. This is a great value hotel (we paid 60 Euros per night) which is close to all the major attractions. Breakfast was terrific and the reception staff were most welcoming. The room was spotlessly clean and the flat screen TV was a nice touch. We would defineately stay here again if we returned to Lisbon. An honoury mention for the Enoteca wine bar/restaurant about 50 metres up from the Hotel - great setting!

8.5

Botanico was excellent value and convenient for most places of interest in Lisbon. The approach to the hotel is uphill but Lisbon is a hilly city and if you mean to walk around you will have to climb far steeper. Only one note of warning - rubbish is collected (noisily!)at about 2 in the morning so try to get a room to the side and/or on an upper floor.

9.4

We arrived by 2 o#clock in the morning and got a warm welcome. Service is excellent, staff verrrry friendly and competent. They also advised us a trip to near castles in Sintra. Breakfast was plenty to choos from, center of Lisbon only 400 meters to walk. Would definetly stay again!

9.6

The only problem is the rumors from the street but the quality of the hotel service is excellent. In particular the breakfast is perfect with a rich buffet with good selection of cakes and rich offer of cereals. I recommend this hotel and I suggest to ask to the hotel employee where to park the car (if you have a car). If is possible they give you free of charge a park in front of the hotel.

8.4

very nice hotel, very clean , well located in an area with 2 vegetarian restaurant , in a walking distance from the bairo alto and metro . good buffet for breakfast and helpful staff .fridge with drinks in the room , tv and radio cd player .

8.8

The only negative for me was getting up the hillside location. My rooms (I was there twice for a total of 5 days) were both on the top floor with great views, clean and tastefully furnished... although somewhat small. Breakfast was great.

9.3

Totally satisfied with the hotel, the facilities, the cleanliness and the helpfulness of the staff. Well situated even though it was climb back to the hotel at the end of the day. Staff were impressive. One felt that you mattered. A bargain!

9.7

very nice staff, excelent service and value. Amacing how many languages the staff managed. Will recomend this hotel to everybody (except the realy obeese who can´t manage the walk uphill) Many small local restaurants realy close if you don´t want to head for the "bairro alto" (but its actualy also realy close...) Nice breakfast, with a wide choise: different breads and rolls, cakes, croissants, eggs, bacon, ham, 3 - 4 different chesses, butter (both with and without salt)jam (3-4 kinds - sometimes even diet version) , yoghurts, cereals (4 kinds) fresh fruits, juices (althoug more of the lemonade-kind - not real fresh fruit juices), cold and hot milk, coffee tea and all the things I forgot.... exelent!

7.7

Room itself is basic but adequate, quiet and neat. Carpet and furnishings oldish and with a somewhat weird smell. Staff extremely helpful and courteous. Excellent breakfast included with room. Good hotel location a 10-15 minute walk from Baixa/Chaido & Alfama and 5 minutes from the metro (but lugging suitcases up the steep incline would be tough).

8.4

Great welcoming, beautiful view from the upper levels and excellent breakfast. The way up to the hotel is not so steep as expected, reading other comments. Will stay again!

7.8

Generally good to very good. Some room services could have been better, but we could well return here.

9.7

The Botanico is in an excellent location within walking distance of The Barrio Alto, Rua de Liberdade, the waterfront, many restaurants, cafes, bars, & shops. It is at the top of a hill, but by Lisbon standards not a particularly steep one. The breakfast is excellent with a nice variety of items. My room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. I loved the lounge as it is somewhat funky and a nice place to access the wifi or have a coffee. Kudos to the staff who were wonderful--efficient, friendly, accomodating, and made great recommendations. I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel and visiting such a lovely, vibrant city. One thing to note is that sometimes late-night noise from the street can be heard in the rooms. It wasn't nonstop or a big issue for me as I expect some street noise when staying in a large city (always travel with earplugs.) The hotel represents good value for Lisbon and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

9.5

Is a 5 star at a 3 star price! Front desk - always pleasantly helpful. Rooms compact but recently tastefully upgraded to make best use of space - with quality CD player/flat screen TV with over 40+ channels. Breakfast buffet among best seen in 4 Europa trips. Ideal location in quaint Lisbon neighborhood & for 10 minute walk to Baixa & Barrio Alto. [Easy to Find: Airport Bus - exit Avenida Liberdade stop or Blue Line Metro at Avenida - Head short distance toward Hotel Sofitel on Avenida / 1st right - 2 blocks or so - uphill yes, but downhill when leaving & means some great room views!] All in all - a gem of a little hotel!

8.2

Very good quality/price ratio.... If you do not avoid to walk 10-15 min. very good location. The restaurants advised by the hotel staff are very good.

9.7

kindness and professional behaving of concierge personnel .

8.0

Hotel is at the top if a steep hill which could be a problem to some people. Friendly staff deserve a special mention.

9.6

Wonderful views! A bit chilly in winter, though.

8.4

The hotel offered excellant value for €52 for a douuble room and breakfast, on the 1st night, even at €60 when we returned 6 days later it was still very good value. Bit if noise at about 0200 when bins being emptied, not sure if this was just the Tuesday night as didn't hear on the prev Wednesday.

9.0

El personal del hotel se portó de manera exquisita. Todos muy amables.

8.2

Nice and very clean rooms; hotel close the center of the town. Super welcoming. Very good breakfast included in the price.

8.9

We may have been lucky in the room we got because it wasn't near the lift shafts (there are 2) so we didn't get any noise from them. All in all it was a very pleasant stay! I would have no problem in recommending the hotel.

9.7

Six of us stayed in this little gem of a hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a great location, the hill could be daunting for older people but we just thought of the calories we were losing! Staff extremely helpful, rooms not exactly luxurious but all you need and well fitted out. Would certainly stay again.

9.7

The staff was absolutely magnificent. Breakfast was more than we expected; also great service. Very clean hotel, and I recommend it to anyone looking for adequate accommodations. The view from our room was beautiful, overlooking the city central (the historical section of Lisbon). Very close to the main avenue, easy access to taxis and tour buses. Above all, we loved the staff!

8.5

Very good hotel - refurbished. Very well located, but uphill the last 200 meters. Noisy during the night - from the street.

9.7

Very close (5min.walks) to interesting places as for example rossio or barrio alto. Big and bright room (in the corner). Generous breakfast. Very helpful and sympathic staff.

9.8

very good Hotel, excelent Hotel employees

9.7

An excellent start to our recent holiday in Portugal. Botanico was the friendliest and best value out of 8 hotels we stayed in and the breakfast was easily the best.

9.8

First time to Lisbon, stayed seven nights.Hotel well positioned for walking around the city, close to metro for going further afield. Rooms clean and tidy with air conditioning, good breakfast to start the day. Paulo and Ricardo on the reception desk were excellent with info on places of interest and how to get there, whether walking or using the metro, trams or trains. A very enjoyable stay

8.6

All reviews of hotel were accurate and the staff were excellent. Breakfast choice was wide including cooked and fresh pastries. Although we did not have time to go ourselves, there is a good jazz club 40 metres from the hotel, according to what we could hear from the street. Many restaurants are 7 minutes walk from the hotel that offer a wide selection of cuisine. We had a fantastic meal at an Italien restaurant, located where most of the restaurants are situated at a reasonable rate, the kitchen is located at the front of the restaurant. There is a great little fish restaurant that serves freshly caught fish, used by the locals. Located in Belem opposite the carridge museum towards the river. Don't be put off by the exterior, meals for 8 euros or less.

6.5

Welcome was great. Even greater were the exact information on trams, museums, beach, restaurants. The room was truly small and a bit difficult to walk inside, when all the time you had to give way to your spouse. Bathroom had bad design: The smells of using it wandered to the sleeping room. There were not adequate space for used towels and no reasonable method to dry one's petty laundry.

7.7

Pretty decent inexpensive hotel for exploring Lisbon. Close to restaurants and nightlife.

9.7

Having researched the location of dozens of hotels choosing the Botanica was a hit!!. 2 mins walk from the Avendia da Liberdade (but steep, not ideal for disabled) Close to Metro and bus stops and only 3/4 mins to town centre and shopping areas. Staff great, breakfasts great!!! Will stay again.

7.5

The hotel is OK, but more far away from the center than expected. Specially due to the slopes it makes a bit difficult to reach at night.

9.3

ottima struttura, colazione molto varia (frutta, dolci...), posizione molto comoda in centro vicinissima a piazza Restauradores /Rossio (però c'è una "salitina" da fare per raggiungere l'hotel), personale molto gentile e disponibile. Consigliamo vivamente questa struttura. Very good hotel (quality and price), staff very kind and friendly, very good breakfast, very good location (5 minutes on foot from Restauradores/Rossio). It exceeds our standard. We strongly suggest this hotel.

8.6

The hotel staff are very competent and helpful. They are a great asset for the hotel, especially Paolo. The breakfast is great as well.

7.7

Excellent breakfast with great variety, fresh fruits even with delicious ananas slices and pasteis de nata! Warm welcome at reception desk. Well centered and quiet enough. Our room was a little small perhaps because it was the last one. We might go back

9.2

great location, but hard to find. will be back again. free parking, breakfast. Great price.

7.9

Friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is located on a hill close to a subway station (5 min). It's about a 10 minutes walk to Rossio so it is not too far from a lot of the tourist attractions. The breakfast was plentiful (including fresh fruit).

8.2

The room we got this time was small, but we will come back.
