1869 Príncipe Real House

Everything about 1869 Principe Real House is a dream. Stayed in Room 5 for 6 nights (the one with the blue couch and large soaker tub in the photo). The bed was extremely comfortable, the room was large and very functional for a week or more stay. Lots of storage and space. It also has a very large stand up shower and plenty of space for toiletries. The high ceilings and elegant decor are luxurious with 2 large shutter doors to access the small balconies and let in light or keep it dark. The bathroom has the same, which is so bright and inviting. Every detail was thought of from gorgeous water glasses, a fresh bottle of water daily, shower toiletries, fresh and large towels, a towel rack, gigantic full size mirror, and beautiful chandelier. We did not lack for anything. Each day the room was cleaned and spotless. Every staff person was extremely friendly, beyond helpful, and incredibly accommodating. They carry your luggage up the wide, circular staircase with a gorgeous tiled wall, send you local restaurants and attractions through WhatsApp, help reserve attractions, call locations for details, and will even grab you an uber or bolt and will wait outside with you to ensure you are safe and sound. You are welcomed with port and a free bottle of wine. Every day you return, you are offered a glass of port. All speak exceptional English and wear a smile at all times. Thank you, Hugo, for the jam, which I enjoyed on my toast my first day back home. Then comes the breakfast. It’s free and beyond substantial. Fresh eggs cooked to order, juices, fresh bread, amazing jams, homemade cake (yes cake), meats, cheeses, sliced tomatoes and olive oil (local and divine), cereals, yogurts, and a multi-coffee maker that made cafe latte taste like it was from a cafe. The coffee is available any time. The breakfast room is comfortable and encourages guests to talk and share information, which we did and was helpful to all.

Staying at this hotel was the best decision I made!! The hotel is so cozy and cute. I had a room with a balcony, and it was so precious. I want to especially thank Angelino, Hugo, and Joan for making my stay in the hotel and Lisbon a fantastic one. They were so friendly, insightful, and helpful! I was able to easily get to every destination I wanted to go to, thanks to their direction. Even when i locked my key in my room on the first night there, they responded to my whatsapp messages promptly and i was able to get into the hotel and my room without any issues. I can't say enough good things about them and this hotel.

We had an amazing stay at this hidden gem of an accommodation. The place was spotless and beautifully traditional, full of charm and character. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible staff. John, Hugo, and Angelo went above and beyond – they were unbelievably kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. We would go back in a heartbeat!

We didn't really have breakfast so can't comment, the reason was the location was so good there was too much to enjoy on the doorstep. The room was lovely, clean, and well taken care of. But the staff were just so nice, really friendly, really polite, and they even left us a bottle of wine in our room for valentines which was a wonderful surprise and so sweet.
