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.

Overall, while I enjoyed some aspects, I did find the experience less restful than I had hoped.
