I stayed at the Vincci Baixa for 5 days and it was a great experience. I arrived ahead of check in and the front desk offered me the opportunity to freshen up from my travel, then did bag check for me until it was ready. They front desk staff also made recommendations on dining options within walking distance of the hotel - they were always helpful and friendly day in and out.
My room was clean and lovely, with views of the city’s cute rooftops off the avenue behind the hotel, and Castelo de São Jorge in the distance. Gorgeous!
Arranging airport transfer for my arrival and departure was also very easy.
Vincci Baixa is in a superb location with excellent walk ability. It’s on the lower part of the center city, with “Baixa” quite literally meaning “low” in Portuguese so the walks in the area are mostly flat or take you gently uphill. Venturing over to Chiado or Bairro Alto are higher climbs - bring good walking shoes or take public transit, it’s easy and proximate to the hotel.
There’s also a bar/restaurant on site which was great for snacking or grabbing a cocktail when I didn’t want to venture too far. And the breakfast option was more than sufficient with a variety of meats, cheeses, fruits, juices, coffee, pastries (yummy pastéis de nata), scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, etc.
And while it wasn’t available in my room, the front desk provided me with an iron and ironing board upon request.
I really believe I hit the jackpot when I booked this stay!
