Overall Ratings & Reviews Palácio das Especiarias

The building itself was incredible. I also liked the breakfast and the excellent staff.

Stayed in a great room with a good layout. Comfortable bed and very friendly and helpful staff.

This truly is a gem in Lisbon! From the moment you walk into the Palacio, the staff was so friendly and helpful which sets the tone! Our room was just as pictured and a beautiful bathroom with a garden view. We enjoyed complimentary wine and cheeses in the garden in the afternoon. The breakfast was the best of our 2 week travels in Europe- each room had specially foods while the pianist played music. Highly recommend this 4 ⭐️ which is in my opinion a 5 ⭐️ because of it’s service and ambiance!

Beautiful hotel, centrally located -between Bairro Alto and Chiado. Lovely amenities, nice decor, enjoyed the breakfast, the room was reasonably soundproofed and the staff was very friendly. If you can make the time, reserve a table for their Fado dinner show.

This hotel offered a very unique experience - a refurbished palace from 1800!! how fabulous. there were welcome/anytime drinks at the bar with custard tarts, wine tasting with a great outside lounge area, intimate spa facilities and a great breakfast with hot and cold selections including a great selection of fresh baked pastries. the staff were soooo friendly and helpful. The ONLY negative to be aware of is if you get a room facing the street it may prove to be a bit noisy if you are a light sleeper.

The Palace was exceptionally beautiful. Every corner of this hotel had elegant charm and the staff was so welcoming and super nice. Both ladies at the spa were amazing especially Johaira, our waitor Clever at the Fado restaurant was so friendly and Victoria at the front desk was just absolutely sweet.

this is our second trip to lisbon. this hotel was extremenly nice

Wonderful people at the hotel

Amazing room. Hand-painted walls with high ceiling. Small and a bit quirky but with a charm not found in the U.S. Lot’s of extras with the room (wine tasting in the afternoon and amazing breakfast. Very knowledgeable and friendly personnel.

Beautiful experience with many unusual extras!

The breakfast and music concert was amazing! Highly recommend this hotel in central Lisbon.

Lovely historic hotel well situated within walking distance to many highlights. The staff were delightful and the common spaces were exquisite and charming.

Great place to stay!

The hotel is amazing, is like you are living in a palace. The interior of the hotel and the room is breathtaking. We loved the welcome drink - wine tasting. Dinner + fado performance was great. Negative things: Hotel didn't congratulate me on my birthday. During last 10 years travelling around the world on my birthday, it was first time when hotel didn't pay attention and i felt forgotten. It could be some small gesture, like small cake or bottle of wine or even a card. There was 0 attention to it. Also during breakfast no one greeted us, no one explained what and where to find. Some stations we noticed only when we were leaving. With customer service improved I could 10 out of 10. Now i would rate 7.5 out of 10.

Loved the staff and beautiful property and amenities. The staff were absolutely wonderful to us and did everything possible to make our stay great! The Fado performance and dinner offered at the hotel was magnificent with fabulous performers. My wife and I loved it here and would stay again any time. So grateful to have stayed here. Obrigado!!!

Fantastic place . Truly magical. Superb service 10 out of 10

I love this hotel. This is my second time staying there. So much charm and the staff is so friendly and helpful.

This was an amazing experience. The hotel was beautiful and had so much charm. The staff was wonderful. I enjoyed all of the lovely amenities including the breakfast, welcome wine and cheese, and Fado dinner (you do pay extra for this).

As a result of a flight cancellation we had a one night stay here. We received a very good welcome and were shown to a very splendid looking room. The bed itself was very comfortable but the pillows were artificial and not as comfortable (adequate for purpose but not great). The en-suite shower room was compact, especially when compared to the very spacious bedroom. Our breakfast experience was haphazard: it was spread across several rooms and there wasn’t anyone to greet us and explain the setup and where to find the various food items that were on offer. Once we had established what was available and where we enjoyed a very good breakfast.
