Besides the incredible location and stunning view, Bairro Alto Hotel employs excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, and gracious staff that go the extra mile to ensure you're happy. We had a mansard room...a little tight, but adequate nonetheless. The roof top bar is a thrill with beautiful sweeping views. I highly recommend this hotel if you value great service.

First, the location is at the center of the old-town, second the service is first-class and personalized, and last but not least the view from the terrace is breath-taking. The staff is friendly without being obsequious, and they are well-trained. Also, the price is reasonable for what it is.

Apart from all the elements of a proper boutique hotel, the bario alto also has a fantastic concierge. They really helped us get the best expeience during our short 36hr trip to lisbon. And not to forget, this is also the best place in lisbon for a cheeky sundowner. However, do try and get a city facing room.

The location is just perfect, in the middle of everywhere..shopping, restaurants,nightlife..But for the price you pay the hotel's amenities are very poor.. I would not consider it among five stars but as a decent four stars hotel.. No swimming pool, spa, not so much variety in breakfast, lack of common areas,thin walls between rooms..Actually apart of being extremelly expensive the... More

Lisbon in April was a fantastic break from the snow and rain in England! Weather was fab and as soon as we were in a cab driving through Lisbon en route to bairro alto I knew we were going to have an amazing stay. The hotel roof terrace us an absolute must, and breakfast in the restaurant was also perfect.... More

We only stayed in this hotel one night - the last of our stay in Portugal - but we loved this hotel. It's beautiful! The rooms are spacious and modern. I can't say enough about our bathroom and shower, they were exquisite (and we stayed in a standard room). We didn't eat at the restaurant, but the rooftop bar has... More

The Bairro Alto Hotel as the name says is located in the top of the hill at Camoes Square at the Chiado area of Lisbon. Very good location at a walking distance of the historic center and other relevant touristic areas of Lisbon. You also find nice restaurants and cafes nearby it. The Hotel itself is old but well kept.... More

Dear Mr. OASette, Greetings from Lisboa. Thank you for your review. In fact the hotel is not old. The builing is ancient but Bairro Alto Hotel is pretty much brand new, with only 8 years old, but as the comfort of our guests is of paramount importance to us, we have decided - last December and January - to close...

This hotel has almost uniformly good qualities with just a few downsides. Their strong suit is the amazing staff. Most of the staff is on the young side which usually means trouble, but not here. They are both professional and friendly, without being inappropriately familiar. They remember you and greet you by name throughout your stay. They were knowledgable about... More

It was our first time in Lisbon and you always worry about getting the hotel right so that you're in a good location etc. It is a very nice hotel, stylish and comfortable with great staff and superb location. The suites are wonderfully placed (ours on a corner) and very spacious but the standard rooms were slightly smaller than expected.... More
