Hotel Botânico - Lisbon

8.1

This is a nice, small hotel well situated for touristing. If you are driving a car, be carefull: it is very hard to get to the hotel since Lisbon streets are not equal and the transit diffiers one block from another. Also, on one end this street is a precipice and you want to go to the other end, very hard to find. The people don´t help you easily Once at the hotel, it is very easy to move walking around and the people at the hotel is very friendly. It has 4 or 5 parking spaces, so you have to leave your keys, so they can move your car. No problem for that.

6.6

A nice hotel - near city centre and metro BUT up a very steep hill and easy to miss in the warren of streets. Staff friendly and helpful, and a simple but good breakfast. Location would NOT suit anyone with mobility problems

3.5

I chose this hotel because of the overall good score it got. I had spent the week in a four-star Hotel in Lisboa (Sana Lisboa Hotel, definitely a recommendation here) and was therefore somewhat spoiled. I knew this hotel would probably not be quite as good but for a difference in price of only 25 Euros per night I expected a lot more than what I actually found. The welcome was nice I was taken up to my room. It was then at the very beginning that I realized how small the place was. The elevator was so small I could barely fit in. The staircase was so narrow that only one person could walk and better not suffer from claustrophobia. My room (#11) was on the first floor right next to the elevator (great!). The bed filled almost the whole room. The space between the bed and the outer edges of the room was barely enough to walk. The room had a closet which was half occupied by the minibar. The rest was not really usable, besides maybe putting a bag in. The minibar had beer (the good local super bock) and the usual stuff in it. Expensive though. The bed was ok but had strange dimensions. I guessed the total length to about 1.9m, which is not exactly big and not the size of the described queen size one. But they had to fit it in the room after all. The view from my room was practically non-existent. The air-condition was ok and had a remote control. A flat screen TV was also available but reception on most channels sucked. The bathroom was ok but besides from the nice-looking stone walls pretty cheap. You could hear the traffic outside through the ventilation shaft. So much for the quality of the room. The big minus for this stay goes to the location of the room itself. It was very noisy at night, the door of the room did practically not help to filter anything. Every word spoken downstairs at the front desk could be heard. Furthermore, early in the morning the food was delivered, which again made quite a racket. Getting another room was not possible due to the hotel being completely booked out. The clerk suggested a room in a hotel right next to the airport. How intelligent is that? Breakfast was tourist cheap standard. Again the room was crowded and much too small for my opinion. The food was eatable, the buns were oddly tasting and of strange consistency. Wi-Fi internet was available for free, which was good. I did not use any of the other services. So – bottom line: If you are really ok with noise during most of the night or have well-working earplugs and don´t need real comfort like really good breakfast and spacious rooms, this is your kind of place. For everyone else I recommend spending a little extra for a lot more comfort. Go to the Sana Lisboa, which is a really great deal compared to the Botanico.

9.4

Good location - close to the Avenida de Liberdade where is a bus stop to the airport (# 44,45,shuttle, very convinient, about 2 euro), to Bairro Alto, Rossio. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great rich breakfast - 5 euro per person(optional for us). Room was big enough for two people and clean. Nice bathroom. We enjoyed. Thank you! We will be back!

5.6

Don't stay on the first (second) floor in the front. The garbage is picked up at 2 a.m., then the dogs start barking in the street at 4 a.m. After I was moved to the back of the hotel, I had a much quieter night, although one of my windows wouldn't lock, and I was uncomfortable with that. The staff was very helpful, and the breakfast good.

9.8

Strong point : Nice hotel, acomodations, people and good price/quality rate. Strongly recomended. weak point: It is on the top of a small hill and due to that it maybe no suitable for over 65 by foot.

9.6

There couldn't be a better value, better located hotel in Lisbon at these prices and with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Will go back.

9.2

This hotel gave very good value for money. Botanico is ideally placed for on-foot sightseeing and has recently been refurbished to a good, modern standard. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and breakfast was varied and completely adequate. We would stay here again when visiting Lisbon, which is a lovely city.

8.6

It was my second time and Lisboa-first a booked an awful place second time hotel Botanico.Hotel is situatied in very good place in downtown,staff is very kind and helpful(clerk on the evening shift during my staying gave me a lot of useful info and suggestions-he was very helpful).My room was nice and clean.I am going to come back there and recommend this hotel.I also hope that prices will stay reasonable.

8.2

Externally, the hotel doesn't look much but inside it was all that we had hoped for and more. Staff were most helpful, informative and friendly, breakfasts were excellent, a complimentary safe in the room was a real bonus and the welcome drinks and eats were much enjoyed. We travelled from the airport by the airport shuttle bus. It would be helpful to people not as fit as us to be told that the last 200 metres to the hotel is up a steep, cobbled street. The street map to guide us there wasn't brilliant though we did manage to use it to find the place in the end.

8.6

We stayed at the Botanico for 3 nights and found it to be in an excellent location with easy access to all of the various interesting tourist areas in Lisbon - an easy walk up the nearby steps to the Barrio Alto and a 5 minute walk down to the Baixa. The staff were very courteous and helpful, breakfast was good, internet was free. Great value for money.

8.1

Pareja española joven, hotel justo y necesario para pasar unos días. Habitación cómoda. Buen desayuno. Atención excelente, amables y efecientes.

9.9

Very friendly welcome and drink! Excellent loction for walking into the main areas of town.

9.6

We had an excellent stay at the Hotel Botanico in June 2009. It's not a high quality hotel, but in terms of price/ quality we were very satisfied. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the Hotel had a great location. This trip was with the guys, but I would most certainly stay at the same hotel if I were to go with my wife. I can recommend it to other travellers.

9.7

I had read all the promising reviews of the hotel and was confident booking. Anyway arriving via a brisk climb to the hotel the staff were as previously stated - fantastic. Full of kindness and knowledge. Location was brilliant with an amazing Veggie restaurant and Jazz Club within 100 metres !! Barrio Alto and the main boulevard/ shopping district within 5 minutes walking too. Breakfast was so-so but mainly because there was no toast and a lot of meat!The room we were given was a fantastic corner room with the sun coming in and a view to relish. All staff day and night were equally lovely and helpful. Only wish i had longer there. Overall - truly a little gem.

8.1

The room was comfortable, air-conditioned and clean. We especially enjoyed the TV reception because there were several TV channels that were subtitled for Portuguese but broadcast in English (very unusual). The buffet breakfast was generous and included a hot breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon) as well as cereal, fruit, juice, coffee and cold cuts. The hotel is located uphill and there is no way to get to it without climbing. One evening there was noise outside from a group of people singing or chanting on the street. It went on for over an hour and we never knew why they were there. The metro is located downhill and is a healthy walk away. The streets are confusing and it is important to get clear directions from the desk. However, the reception was very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

8.7

We had a great weekend in Lisbon and this hotel was great for our needs. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful- they had a complimentary drink when we arrived, umbrellas for us when it rained and offered to call us cabs, suggest things to see, etc. The breakfast was nice as well. Overall, it was definitely a good experience. We've stayed in places much more expensive and were not nearly as pleasant.

9.4

The hotel was clean and in excellent condition. The staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet offered a good vairiety of choices. I had a room next to the elevator, and although I could hear it when in operation, it was not a significnt disturbance. Noise on the street was more of a problem, but not unbearable. Convenient to public transporation, with the metro blue line a couple hundred meters away. It is a short walk to Bairro Alto (up the stairs near the hotel)and great views of the city. The hotel is mostly uphill from the metro stop, which was a little more effort than I preferred at the end of the day. Excellent value for the price.

9.8

we were very very happy with our stay at hotel botanico, couldn´t have been better, we were welcomed with a glass of portwine in the afternoon, everyone in the recepcion were very helpful to us, the room much biger than a normal hotel room, the heating worked well, important as i had a cold and it was freezing outside, we found lots of interesting restaurant and bars in the surroundings, i think it is the first time we are 100 % happy with a hotel, thank you!!

8.6

El Hotel está muy bien ubicado, a 5 minutos de Rossio,a 10 de la plaza de Comercio, y subiendo las escaleras a 5 del famoso cafe chinesse (merece la pena tomar algo en el, pero no tengais prisas) La fachada del Htel desmerece un poco, pero lo que importa es el interior, y al menos, las 2 habitaciones que ocupamos estaban totalmente renovadas y eran espaciosas( permiten abrir las maletas con espacio suficiente como para no tener que saltar por las camas). El baño totalmente nuevo solo tiene ducha, lavavo y vater. El desayuno es buffet, pero muy abundante y agradable la comida, con variedad de fruta fresca, ygures, jamon quesos etc (a nivel de un hotel de categoria superior). El Trato excelente por todo el personal, y siempre con la sonrisa en la cara. Una gran ventaja es que tiene varias plazas de aparcamiento gratís a la entrada. Lo único un poco adverso para el que tenga problemas fisicos es la cuesta arriba que hay que subir cuando se vuelve del centro ( 2-3 minutos), y que se puede salvar facilmente subiendo por el elevador de la Gloria y descendiendo por debajo del mirador de Alcantara. Los ascensores son pequeñitos, pero los tiene.

8.3

double bedroom on reception room and in coffie room, nice, very kindly employers in every respect.

8.2

We stayed in double room, which was bit small but did not bother us. Breakfast was good, considering it was included in price. Hotel is on top of a hill, but we enjoyed walking anyways. Good location - close to central Lisboa, metro stops, and easy to get from and to airport via aerobus . Hotel staff were all nice and helpful.. special kudos to Mr. Fernando, the hotel receptionist! I would recommend it and would definitely stay here again...Julian

9.2

Excellent hotel, well located

8.1

CENTRAL HOTEL WITH ALL COMMODITIES - hotel very clean - excellent breakfast - inside fittings rooms are well concevant - only defects : noisy, at night, during a short time, because of bins ; the rooms are small a bit. It is better to give a preference to restaurants in the main streets

8.9

Very friendly, clean, very good breakfast. Well located just a bit noisy when the rubbish van collects. I would use this hotel again!!

9.4

A good location, just off the main Avenida da Liberdade. Lots of places to eat nearby. Easy walking distance to the heart of Lisbon, but would not suit those who cannot walk up the hill to the hotel, which is quite steep. Great views from the room across Lisbon. Staff very welcoming - could not do more for us on our arrival. Car parking directly outside the hotel for those with a hire car. Altogether, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return to the hotel next time we are in Lisbon.

7.1

this hotel is really good one , near downtown and all the staffs are very friendly. the buffty was ok and room is clean as well .

8.9

Excellent accueil multilangue. Hotel très agréable et très bien situé près des grandes artères et du métro (200/300m) Stationnement devant l'hôtel ou les rues voisines. Quartier "typique".

7.8

I think Hotel Botanico has a very good balance between price, quality, location and I would come back there if I had to travel againg in Lisbon.

9.3

Está muy bien, está nuevo, muy limpio y muy centrico

7.3

Nice small central hotel - much nicer inside than it looks from outside

9.6

Had a corner room at the top floor, with a great view and morning sun. Great breakfast, great hotel!

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.

10

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.

8.0

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.

9.4

Dear Fellow Lisboa travelers. I just really wanted to write a comment about this hotel. This hotel was more than a pleasant experience for my best friend and I. Everything that was written about this hotel was true and accurate. Downtown lisbon is about a 10 minute walk (Wear comfortable shoes since the streets are slippery made or rocks). The service and attendants were so helpful. I spoke to them in English and Spanish and they were just as helpful in both. They really care that your experience in Botanica is pleasant. They were able to give us tour packages there at the hotel and always gave us necessary information about the city. One minor detail...the shower and bathroom is small.. but who cares.. you shouldn't be there too long. I strongly recommend this hotel for your stay. When in Lisbon ...one must go to CaisCais. Don't forget to visit the beaches. There is a great ITalian restuarant called Valentinos in the first plaza that you hit coming down Hotel Bontanico. I suggest you book this hotel with not second thought. I don't say this about too many hotels.

10

I was extremely impressed in my recent visit to the Botanico Hotel. Hotel is very well located and all main attractions are easily accessed by foot. All the Hotel staff really made a big impression on me - infact I have never encountered such a great bunch of people! They really made me feel at home while on my business trip. The welcome was really warm. Ricardo who was on front desk at times made a big impression - always helpful, friendly and genuinely interested in the guests. The breakfast was excellent with everything you can imagine available. Even one morning I was late and I was looked after and was told its not a problem. In fact the impression I got from all the staff was that nothing was a problem. My room was great with mod conveniences and wireless broadband. I most definitely will be back to this Hotel.

7.9

good location. quite nice hotel.

8.2

Very very nice place!

8.4

Excelent staff, very kind and friendly. Clean rooms and our cot was ready when we arrived there.

9.1

Service was friendly, helpful, and supportive. After 11 straight cities and 7 countries in 28 days, these guys are easily in the top 2 for nice digs and great service. Even the inclusive breakfast was fresh.

9.6

we took time to find this hotel, newly renovated,very clean,spacious,calm, breakfast was really good,

9.3

Very accommodating & helpful staff. Excellent (included) breakfast. If on your own and walking from the nearby metro, it's a little difficult to find, even with a map--although it's just a few uphill blocks off the main Ave. Liberdade. We would certainly stay there again, but would ask for a bed with a softer mattress (ours was rather like a board!).

9.4

Everything was as we expected from the information given on Venere's site. The staff were very helpful and professional and we had a very pleasant experience on our first visit to Lisbon. The hotel is within walking distance of the central area of the city and the Air-port bus stop is within easy reach. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the atmosphere very relaxed.

9.4

Extremely satisfied with everything : especially with the helpfulness of the hotel staff (multilingual)

6.0

Hotel correcto tanto en situación, en habitación y en el desayuno. El único inconveniente es que para llegar hay que subir una cuesta muy pronunciada y que es excesivamente solitario por la noche.

8.6

...very nice welcome, spacious room,good breakfast, walking distance to points of interest....But very fluctuatious price at venere.com. Anyway: a good recommendation for a Lisbon stay.

9.2

Our first trip to Lisbon turned out to be a great experience . A prize to Botanico for cordial atmosphere , friendly , competent staff , clean room , very central situation - 10-15 minutes' walk to downtown and 5 min. to Bairro Alto. Botanico = Romantico

7.8

Very convenient if you want to go out in Barrio Alto area for bars and restaurants.Short walk to metro line, stop Avenida

7.9

The location is quite good, it's easy to get to the barrio alto where all the nightlife is and it's quite close to the metro station. Was our first stop of a long travel in Portugal. The welcome we received was excellent: great competence of the people working there, kindness and availability to resolve any kind of issue. The view from the building is not exiting since it's facing another building but the atmosphere is really good. Excellent is the breakfast.

8.3

The staff at Hotel Botanico was very friendly and helped us a lot to organise our stay in Lisbon and in the rest of Portugal. The localisation is ideal, a 10 minutes walk from the city centre.

7.3

Un Hotel discreto con camere piccole ma pulitissime e buoni servizi.Ottima accoglienza e sostegno turistico da parte del responsabile

8.9

The hotel is very good value for money, considering its location and the standard of its rooms. I certainly didn't expect that much space, a swish CD player and flat screen. I was in Lisbon only a few nights for business. Next time I'm there, I'll definitely try to book it again. Brutto da fuori, ma dentro e' una sorpresa, personale molto amichevole, stanze belle grandi e moderne, prezzi bassi e da li' si puo' andare in centro e al Bairro Alto in soli 10 minuti a piedi. Lo terro' sicuramente in considerazione per i futuri viaggi a Lisbona.

Davvero bello, tutto ottimo dalla posizione vicino al bairro alto dove ci sono tutti i locali e ristoranti ( con 10 min. a piedi si raggiunge il centro città ) alla colazione ottima e abbondante. La stanza è pulita il bagno carino e pulito , c'è lo stereo con cd aria condizionata regolabile e frigobar. Davanti all'hotel ci sono 5-6 posti auto gratis e comunque lasciando le chiavi dell'auto alla reception loro provvederanno a sistemarla e spostarla se necessario. Il personale è gentilissimo e molto accogliente. L'unica pecca era che il letto non era matrimoniale ma comunque abbiamo attaccati i letti e abbiamo risolto cisì il problema altrimenti ci avrebbero messo in una stanza matrimoniale ma più piccola.
