My stay at Hotel Principe Real was enjoyable, thanks to the clean and spacious rooms and superb staff. The location, while up a steep hill, allowed for easy access to key attractions in Lisbon. However, I encountered some issues with breakfast options, particularly the over-toasted toast and warmth of my hot chocolate. Overall, it was a good value for a boutique hotel with a welcoming atmosphere.

My stay at Hotel Principe Real had its ups and downs. The location couldn't be better, nestled in an area full of charming boutiques and restaurants. The staff was good, always ready to help, and breakfast was a highlight with freshly made options. However, my room was quite small, and I faced significant traffic noise all night, which made sleep difficult. Overall, while I enjoyed some aspects, I did find the experience less restful than I had hoped.
