My first trip to Lisbon and this was the perfect place to stay with great accommodations, welcoming staff and the best location. Our room had French doors that opened out over a bustling square where the cable cars stopped to pick up passengers and tak them up and down the hills of the city. The doors were soundproof so once you shut them, your room was quiet. The breakfast was amazing with many options from scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, fresh fruit and fresh bread, meats and cheese, oatmeal,cereal and yogurt and sweet treats. Live piano music filled the room with wonderful sounds to start your day. We walked everywhere and especially enjoyed the access to the riverfront where there’s music playing and small bars and cafes. And it’s a short walk down the hills to Pink Street where there’s always a party going on! At night, there are many restaurants and bars close by. The Barrio Alto/Chiado areas are lively at night and so many options for dinner and to have fun! Transportation is simple in this location whether you want to take the Metro, cable car, taxi or train. I highly recommend this place!

“Charm, comfort, and a central location”

I was charmed from the moment I arrived at check-in. The breakfast area was simply lovely. The food was plentiful, varied, and very high quality. And the coffee selection and quality were terrific. The live piano music was the icing on the cake. Staff were eager to help, and our room had all the basics we needed. It was very pretty--tasteful in every way. As some have noted about theirs, the room was rather small. But it was basically comfortable and quiet, and we had a nice view from the 4th floor. The shower was terrific. Hope to be back sometime soon!

We chose Solar dos Poetas to celebrate my wife’s milestone birthday, and it delivered exactly the kind of warmth and character we were hoping for. The room was well-sized for two, furnished with beautiful antique pieces that give the hotel its distinctive personality. The real showstopper, though, was the balcony — a small private perch opening directly onto the square below. The doors blocked out the street noise below. The breakfast room was a lovely way to start the morning. The spread is straightforward but done well — the scrambled eggs in particular were unexpectedly excellent. And the live piano player added a touch of elegance that felt genuinely special rather than gimmicky. Location-wise, Solar dos Poetas sits in a central, walkable part of Lisbon with easy access to the city’s best restaurants, shops, cultural sites, and public transit. We never felt the need to go far to find something worth doing. For a milestone birthday trip — or honestly any occasion that calls for atmosphere over anonymity — this hotel earns a strong recommendation. Very good value for what it offers.

“Disappointing experience”

Stayed for 3 nights to celebrate a special occasion with my partner. It was our first time visiting Lisbon and we booked a room especially because it had a wrap around balcony.

Stayed for 3 nights to celebrate a special occasion with my partner. It was our first time visiting Lisbon and we booked a room especially because it had a wrap around balcony. On the website you can select the room you want, or at least you could when I booked at the beginning of the year. I had booked the top left room on the top floor of the hotel. On arrival I was given a completely different room (blue room in images) than what I had paid for and when I raised this with reception I was asked in a sarcastic tone "have you seen the room?" "It's the same room, it has the same view" and was told the hotel had no rooms with balconies and that I was mistaken and laughed at by 2 female members of staff on reception. This as a first impression left a sour taste of the hotel and the reception staff. They wanted proof of a balcony room in the hotel, which was a video I found online of the room I booked - screenshot added for reference and link to the video here https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRw2pJSD/ (FYI- the entire top floor of the hotel) We then had a member of the booking team come to our room and explain why we didn't get the room we paid for, basically it was given to someone else. We were given as a token for the mistake access to a sister hotels spa and a massage - which was a nice offer and we appreciated it. This member of staff was very pleasant. My main annoyance was the way the situation was handled by the check in team, the principle of it all. If you are staying be aware the lift is tiny and you will most definitely need earplugs as the hotel is located in a very busy party area of Lisbon. Breakfast is basic but does the job. The hotel design is quirky and well designed. Unfortunately I wouldn't stay again if I were to visit Lisbon.
