Michelin Guide "A traditional-style hotel with an original decor."
Frommer's "The location in the heart of the Alfama means you'll be amid some of the city's hippest and most avant-garde attractions." Full review

For the best views, request one on the upper floors overlooking the Rio Tejo: those with castle views are slightly cheaper.
Lonely Planet "Blink and you’ll miss this boutique pad near the castle. Its art-slung interior reveals a passion for Africa and primary colours." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Located on the remains of one of the Moorish-era gates to Castelo de São Jorge, this small hotel has simply but tastefully decorated rooms."
Rough Guide "A tall Alfama townhouse done out in a contemporary style with its own bar."
Fodor's "Cool and serene, this handsome boutique hotel's location near the Castelo de São Jorge makes it perfectly placed for admiring the city from up high. The decor, in a contemporary style..." Full review

Michelin Guide "This hotel has a comfortable, contemporary interior."
Lonely Planet "Steps twist up past ivy-clad walls to this 17th-century convent turned boutique stunner, with art-slung vaulted corridors and a sun-dappled courtyard." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located in the quiet Lapa neighborhood, the York House hotel is a converted Carmelite convent built in 1606." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A former 17th-century convent, turned into a boarding house by two Yorkshire women in the 19th century."
Rough Guide "Located in a sixteenth-century Carmelite convent (and hidden from the main street by high walls), rooms here are chic and minimalist."
Star Service "On a cobbled street of grand but decaying buildings, this hotel sits between Bairro Alto and the waterfront, near its tiny, less evocative sibling Janelas Verdes." Full review
Fodor's "Although it's a good way west of the center, York House is on tram and bus routes from downtown and near the Museu de Arte Antiga." Full review

It has a loyal, predominantly British clientele; book well in advance.
Frommer's "Once a 17th-century convent, this boutique hotel is outside the center of traffic-filled Lisbon, and so attracts those who desire peace and tranquillity." Full review
