About

Hotel Principe Real

Hotel Principe Real sits in the Lisbon Old Town district, a 6-minute walk from the Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara viewpoint. With just 19 rooms, it offers a boutique feel and a 24-hour front desk, plus late check-out for guests who want to ease into the day.

The hotel's location in the Old Town puts central sights within walking distance, though the area is hilly—guests note the climb back can leave you short of breath. Inside, rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, and the breakfast buffet runs until midday, a detail travellers mention favourably.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Attentive, praised staff — Guests repeatedly highlight the helpfulness and friendliness of the team, from local tips to room upgrades.
  • Central Old Town location — Just a 6-minute walk from Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara, with Chiado about 1 km away and many sights within walking distance.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Hilly approach — The hotel sits on a hill in the Old Town, so the walk back can be tiring, especially after a day out.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place—pets are not permitted on site.
  • Wi-Fi can be inconsistent — While some guests report that free internet worked well, one review specifically mentions it not working in the rooms.
  • Small hotel scale — With only 19 rooms, service is intimate, but availability may be limited and the hotel may feel cramped to some.

“The staff were incredibly helpful, recommending specific places based on what I mentioned I liked. The hotel itself is top-notch and comfortable—I felt completely at home and truly relaxed during my stay.”

8.1Verified guest

“Rooms are clean and functional. The staff are kind and friendly, and breakfast is good—bread, cheese, sausage or bacon, eggs, fruits, and muesli. The location is handy, right in the old town with all the main sights within walking distance. But it's on a hill, so getting back can leave you a bit out of breath. For a short city break, it's absolutely fine.”
