I stayed there for only a couple of nights, but the hotel is far from a 5 star hotel. The guy at the reception made us a reservation to a restaurant that he was getting commission for sending guest instead of the one I asked (you don't do this in a 5 star hotel.). The shower was leaking from all the possible places and we could only use the bathtub, which was not fitted with a glass or curtain, therefore the whole bathroom was full of water after a shower. The view wasn't spectacular either, we had a view to another wall in front of us. The breakfast was definitely not of 5*, maybe only the one guy working at breakfast and moving very quick around and trying to make everybody happy worth the 5*.

This is really an extraordinary boutique hotel that was first rate in every way. The recommendation for Largo Restaurante by the front desk staff could not have been more ideal for my family. The rooms were very, very comfortable, with a modern yet warm decor. Made for a relaxing stay.

We stayed here ends of January with two small children (5 yr. old and baby). The room was nice. We had a king size bed and they brought a small bed or my 5 yr. old. Breakfast was not included in our room and at 18 euro per adult we decided to have cafe and a pastry for 6 euro or so at a near by cafe shop. Walking distance to Avenida de Liberdad and Bairro Alto. Rossio square is at the end of Avenida de Liberdad and with 2 small kids, a bit farther for us. For those with kids, I would suggest taking a taxi to Alfama and walking around. Do not take a stroller. Very hilly cobble streets. Take a baby carrier.

Try some delicious french pastries at Poison d'Amour in Bairro Alto!

We had a two week stay in Lisbon at a friend's apartment in the Graça neighborhood above Santa Apolonia Station but it wasn't available our first night in town so I booked a room at Das Letras. When it comes to hotel accomodations, I generally prefer 5 star treatment [not necessarily at "5 star prices"] and ultra-modern design. This hotel provided all that I could want. Coming in from New York, I arrived early and, of course, our room wasn't ready yet. So I was provided with a nice breakfast & wine at a restaurant down the street [at no cost to me] and as a sign of their appreciation for my patience our room was upgraded to a suite on the 7th floor with a full terrace the length of both rooms and a bathroom I can only dream about having in my own home. A great "find" and a wonderful hotel. Too bad we only had a one-night stay!!
