Hôtel très bien situé. Le personnel est très accueillant, parle français et ils ont répondu à toutes nos questions avec le sourire. Le petit-déjeuner était très bien. Excellent rapport/qualité prix, je le recommande vivement

We hade a great stay at this Residencial, probably family owned and not the ordinary Hotel, with both Pros and Cons. Try to get a room away from the street. ++++

I really enjoyed a restaurant five minutes' walk from the hotel, the O Forninho Saloio, Traversa das Parreiras:very friendly staff and excellent 'bacalau al forninho' which costs only 13€ for two.

A small bed and room, not really for two people, but very clean. Receptionist kind and efficient.

The hotel was very run down and rooms were small with paper thin walls. The bed linens were not very clean and the bathrooms tiny with almost no hot water or water pressure. I would not recommend this hotel, it was not worth the cost.

The overall package was very good. But there was real confusion regarding the courtesy transfer service.There does not seem to be a clear procedure for securing this service.I am not sure if there is an actual service. We phoned from the airport and the hotel asked if we had a voucher for the journey. Apparently we should have had the voucher beforehand. There is no mention of this when you go through the booking procedure. I would very strongly advise anyone wishing to try and use the service to get in telephone contact with the hotel. Do not rely on an e.mail being successful! We are both in our mid seventies and we struggle to walk with luggage, but there was no offer of assistance when we eventually checked in. The hotel itself was very good value and there are no complaints of the whole service once we had booked in.The breakfast buffet was always well presented and ideal.

The Residencial Dom Sancho was the ideal accommodation from a price point and location perspective. Staff were helpful and accommodating and we could walk to all amenities. Ideal spot from which to explore Lisbone.

We booked one day in advance after deciding at the last minute to stay in Lisbon for an extra couple of nights. The website said we were booking a double room, but were given a twin, which isn't really an issue. The breakfast was nice - especially the cake! When we asked about the airport shuttle, we were told to catch the AeroBus from a stop outside the hotel, which costs about €3 per person, so not free. The location is an upmarket shopping street, so quiet at night, but not too far to walk to the main attractions (Bairro Alto, Baixa, Chiado). Very close to a Metro and several bus stops. Room was cosy enough, with a tiny bath but a really good shower! NB they don't yet have a Chip & PIN system for card payments.

the building is under repair, so some rooms have a terrific view and it isn't nice to open the window. We asked to be moved to another room, which they did the following day. the shuttle is out of service after 20,45 pm, so we had to take a taxi when we arrived. For the departure we were to take the shuttle in the morning (every 20 minutes) but we waited more than an hour with no success. We had to take a taxi not to lose our flight

Don't take the room 210, it's just next to the kitchen and very noisy. Happily, they found us an other room the next night and it was quiet. The hotel is a little bit too far from the interesting area if you like to walk. But, there's a metro station very close. In 2-3 stations, you are in the center of the city. The room was not very spacious, but it's clean. Not a lot of restaurants close to the hotel. You have to walk 10 minutes to find them. Not a lot of variety for the breakfast, but it's ok.

Rooms facing the very busy Av Liberdade to be avoided

Nella descrizione dell'albergo non risulta che questo occupa il 2° e 5° piano di un palazzo con uffici ed abitazioni. L'accoglienza dell'impiegato, parlante bene l'italiano, è stata perfetta. Colazione non ricchissima, ma sufficiente. Camera al 5° piano molto piccola, con poco spazio anche per gli abiti e le valige.In cambio, trovandosi sul retro, assenza dei rumori possibili invece sul fronte che dà su una strada molto trafficata. Non dipende certo dall'albergo se tutta Lisbona viene sorvolata dagli aerei in atterraggio, essendo l'aeroporto molto vicino alla città.Buona la pulizia, sia delle stanze che degli spazi comuni. Rapporto qualità/prezzo buono in riferimento all'offerta sul web (47 Euro). Sarebbe invece del tutto inadeguata se venisse applicato il tariffario esposto ( fino a 85 Euro). Al prezzo pagato, lo consiglierei ad altri, consigliando di chiedere una stanza più spaziosa.Posizione adeguata per raggiungere a piedi,in pochi minuti, il centro città. Vicinissimo a numerosi teatri.

We were there in October. Cooler than in summer and so windows could be shut to reduce city noise at night. A great location to base a short city stay here. Walkable to most places and in a secure feeling neighbourhood. Excellent value with wholesome and generous breakfasts. Simple but very clean rooms and friendly obliging staff. We liked staying here very much. One gripe? I wish they'd get some new, better pillows! Both my wife and I had stiff necks for 3 days after our return home due to sleeping on lumpy, unsupportive pillows. Otherwise, excellent!

The front desk staff was very helpful in suggesting places to see and in making reservations for us at a Fado restaurant.

The room was an internal one near the kitchen so little external light and a bit too much noise. The room was nicely decorated, clean, good bathroom but quite basic. If you're planning to spend your time sightseeing and not too much time in the room, it is a good choice.

The room was sufficient but it was close to the breakfast area and loud at 6:30 a.m. as staff set-up for breakfast. In the shower, temperature fluctuations were continuous between scalding and freezing and presented a challenge to safely shower. Water pressure was excellent and the bathroom was one of the nicest we had during our trip throughout Portugal. The breakfast had bread, processed ham slices, plain cheese, yogurt and cereal. Fruit would have been a good addition. Our room didn't have the mini-bar and the view was of the building behind the hotel. I've found that booking online at some of these hotels will be you a good room price, but one of the lesser quality rooms available. The staff was gracious and helpful and even tried to get us a bucket of ice - which actually resulted in a small cup of ice - but we appreciated their effort nonetheless.

Ich war über die Ordnung und Sauberkeit echt überrascht, was man der Pension von außen nicht zugetraut hätte. Einzig die Schallisolierung zwischen den Zimmern ist sehr schlecht; man hat praktisch den Fernseher des Nachbars bei sich im Zimmer. Trotzdem: höchstes Lob!
