Rossio Plaza Hotel
Perfect location for exploring Lisbon. The room is a little on the small side for x2 people both with suitcases but it was only for a short stay. Lovely reception team eager to help and the Pastel de Nata on arrival was exactly what we needed after an early flight.

Browns Central Hotel
The room was very clean with some nice amenities like an expresso coffee maker, Marshall speaker for your music, fridge and plush towels. The staff helped us find excellent restaurants and places to go too. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel but did enjoy the bar for cocktails.
