Fantastic and very accommodating staff. Special thanks to Giulia and Rocco at the front desk. Great location in a very nice neighbourhood in Lisbon. Very comfortable bedding and room was dead quiet for sleeping. Superb breakfast, possibly best hotel breakfast I have ever eaten.

Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Lisbon
Winter
Summer (June–August) — warmest and busiest.
Winter (December–February, excluding Christmas/New Year) — lowest prices and fewer tourists.
March–May: Mild, increasingly sunny weather; flowering parks and outdoor cafés reopen fully. Ideal for sightseeing, walking neighborhoods like Alfama and Belém, and day trips to Sintra before peak crowds.
Mainly mid-June: Lisbon's biggest street festival celebrating Saint Anthony with parades, grilled sardines, street parties (marchas populares) and neighborhood celebrations across the city.
Usually November: One of the world's largest tech conferences attracting international delegates and speakers; impacts hotel availability and prices in Lisbon.
Date varies (typically February or March): Colorful parades, costume parties and local street celebrations in Lisbon and neighboring towns.
December: Festive lights, seasonal markets in parks and squares, and New Year fireworks over the Tagus River.
July: Major music festivals in and around Lisbon attract international acts and many visitors; popular among younger travelers.
Lisbon has a mild Atlantic climate but with local microclimates: coastal areas are breezier and slightly cooler; inland neighborhoods and higher elevations can be warmer and less windy. Pack layers year-round (light jacket, sweaters) and a waterproof shell especially for fall/winter. Sunscreen and a hat are useful even outside summer because UV can be strong. Comfortable walking shoes are essential due to cobbled streets and steep hills.
Lisboa's hotel and accommodation prices rise sharply in summer (June–August), during major festivals in June (Festas de Lisboa/Santo António) and around large conferences like Web Summit (usually in November). Peak weekends, international sporting events, and long holiday weekends also inflate rates. Budget options and mid-range hotels offer best value in late fall (late October–November excluding Web Summit) and winter (December–February) aside from Christmas/New Year. Booking 6–8 weeks ahead for summer and major events is recommended; for Web Summit, book several months in advance. Short-term apartment rentals can spike during tourist peaks and festivals; consider hotels or hostels for last-minute stays.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Compact, well-connected metro/tram/bus/commuter rail network. Best to use a reusable Viva Viagem card for fares. Streets are steep and cobbled; many tourist trams and funiculars.
Buy a Viva Viagem card and consider a Lisboa Card for free/discounted attractions and unlimited public transport. Visit popular sites early in the morning to avoid crowds, and always carry a photocopy/photo of your passport plus a backup payment method.
