Stayed here for 2 nights as part of our 20th anniversary trip. The hotel is stunning. Clean, modern and cosy. The staff helpful. Slippers and Molton Brown toiletries on hand. The only downside which is also an upside is its location as the climb up the hill is very steep on slippery stones. We got round this by catching the... More

Yes the local peacocks are noisy, yes the peacocks can be up all hours making a racket but I didn't let that detract or spoil our stay at the wonderful Solar Do Castelo. The decor and layout of the communal areas is superb as was the decor within our room. Breakfast was available from 7:30am - Midday and we even... More

Do not stay here. You will not sleep. Apparently the next door castle bought peacocks for the castle grounds (which overlook the hotel) two years ago. The loud, raucous braying of these birds constantly throughout the night makes sleeping almost impossible. A miserable experience! We stayed here several years ago, before the peacocks, and enjoyed it thoroughly. But until they... More

Dear Guest, We are terribly sorry that your sleep was disturbed by the peacocks of São Jorge Castle. The peacocks inhabit the Castle for some years now and they are an attraction to all visitors. They are particular active during Spring but usually they don’t get close to the Solar at night. We already asked the Castle management to keep... More

This small hotel, tucked away at the top of a hill in Lisbon, is a hidden gem. Well, perhaps not so hidden, since it was full of European high-end tourists. It was formerly the kitchen of the adjoining Castle San Jorge before being transformed into a small boutique hotel. The rooms are small but very efficient, the patio agreeable for... More

We had a long layover in Lisbon following a trip to the Costa Del Sol in Spain. I chose this hotel because of its uniqueness and the rave reviews on Tripadvisor. I thought a special hotel stay would be a great end to this trip. This is a beautiful, modern boutique hotel, somehow located within an old castle. The staff... More

After a scary ride in a cab through really narrow streets, we were dropped at the door of a modern day historic hotel. The Solar is beautiful inside, complete with peacocks walking around in the courtyard. The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable, albeit nothing too extravagant. Not huge, but not too small. The breakfast was plentiful. The staff was... More

Solar do Castelo didn't disappoint in any way possible. From the friendly, efficient welcome with every detail about maps, tours, restaurants answered in detail we couldn't fault the hotel, it is an oasis of calm. The room was lovely, not big, but enough for our needs, very clean and well decorated, with a comfortable bed (my 'bugbear' in hotels). Breakfast... More

My wife and I stayed here for a four-night break, and were delighted by the experience. Our room was in the new building, and hence had a delightful view of the older part of the hotel over the courtyard centred on the fountain. The room was pleasant and clean, the bed was gigantic, the bathroom quite large, and there was... More
