Sometimes photos of a hotel on a website only tell you so much. This is the case with the 1908 Hotel Lisboa. What are its high points. Staff are friendly, helpful and full of good advice. The breakfast is excellent. Tick location as very good as it is only a short walk to Lisbon’s big squares tourist trap heart. It’s in an area that is part of older 19th-20th century Lisbon which is in the early stages redevelopment. The hotel is part of that change. One side of the hotel backs on to a main road into the city. The other onto a large triangle which we’ll call a square that has a number of good and relatively cheap restaurants on one side. Pricier and very good eateries are not too far away. Low point: The rooms and bathrooms are small (think Paris three star in which you can’t swing a cat). It has an eclectic clientele, or as my partner put it: “All ages. Everything from bohemian to chic pretending they are slumming it.” My test for hotels anywhere is: What is the likelihood that we would stay there again? I’d certainly give it shot. As my partner said: “In 10 years you won’t know this place.” That’s a good assessment.

Great hotel and service. Wonderful breakfast buffet

We had a lovely stay at the 1908 hotel. The staff were wonderful, giving us the best recommendations to enjoy our time in Lisbon. The breakfast was delicious and the room (and hotel bed) was incredibly comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay here!!! The hotel upgraded our room, which was such a lovely surprise. The room was incredibly spacious, spotless and very comfortable throughout our stay. They also allowed us to check in early, which we really appreciated after arriving quite early in the morning. Housekeeping did an amazing job every day- the room was always tidy and well stocked. On our first night, they even surprised us with champagne and a fruit plate, which was such a thoughtful touch. We were staying for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday trip, so it made the experience feel extra special. Breakfast was included and we were really happy with the buffet selection every morning. The hotel is also in a great location, only around a 5-minute walk to Intendente metro station, making it very convenient to get around. Would highly recommend this hotel to others and would happily stay again!

Great hotel. Staff very friendly.

Comfortable room size, bed and bath. Helpful, polite staff. Clean and modern design. A little out of the high-end areas but always felt safe and relatively quiet though you do hear a slight rumble from the trolley. Complimentary breakfast was outstanding.

Accidentally put me in nicer room, had to move to a room in front of elevator-lots of chatter outside my door. Sunday dinner was mediocre. The staff was wonderful. I am very impressed that the owners restored this fabulous building. It adds beauty and sophistication to a troubled party of town. Overall: conveniently located. Plaza side room for peace and quiet.

If you want to stay in a place with history and where rooms are clean and well equipped stay at 1908. Super nice views of the city as well as great breakfast spread and friendly staff. We only had one issue coming back late at night when no one was there to open but other than that it was great!

1908 Lisboa was a great experience for our stay in Lisbon. From the beginning the staff was pleasant and very helpful. Catarina and André, made us feel instantly welcome! They offered helpful tips and restaurant recommendations. At the bar Claudio and Helena were engaging and attentive. Would highly recommend!

Room was clean staff was super friendly great WiFi. We were just a few minutes from Avienda de Liberdade. We will return.

We had to leave before breakfast was served so they were nice enough to pack box breakfasts for us.

Clean, staff, interior, building

Great staff friendly and ready to assist in anything you need

Great hotel. Excellent Service. A great experience!

The best part about this place was the building in the space. The building was beautiful and the people were also excellent. We had a great friendly service. I don’t think it’s in the best location, though as the surrounding neighbourhood seemed a little bit rough. The breakfast had a nice variety.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff are, breakfast amazing and I got a room upgrade 🙌

As always - the service was fantastic! This was my second stay. Breakfast was great and the room was well appointed. More hooks in the room, bathrooom would be nice but we will be back for sure.

This small Hotel is the best. The best rooms, the best Breakfast and the best location. Across the street is a fantastic restaurant.

Staff at the Hotel were absolutely excellent. They helped us plan our stay in Lisbon, how to find locations we wanted to visit, and made our stay so enjoyable. A special thanks to Andreas, Carolina, Sarah in the restaurant and all the front counter and restaurant staff. We are seniors, and we really felt our stay in Lisbon would be made safe with the advocacy of the Hotel staff. When travelling we always feel relieved knowing that if something medical or otherwise happens to us, Hotel staff would assist us. Thank you 1908 Lisboa Hotel!

The top floor room was spacious, had a great AC, and the welcome pastele and Ginjing were delicious. The staff were very accommodating and always cheerful.
