This was our second stay at the Real Palacio and I'm happy to say it was as good as the first. On our previous visit, our 2 year old boy was a mere bump. Now we have another bump as well and so space was a priority! We chose a suite for the 6 night stay and were able to get a great rate. The room was perfect - plenty of room for us all (for the few hours we actually spent in the hotel, because we were too busy in Lisbon!) It was very quiet and we all slept better than we have in a long time, probably down to the very large bed and the masses of fresh air we'd had!
The hotel is located just to the north of the city centre, close (and easy walking distance) to the São Sebastião underground station, which is about 10 minutes from the city centre, 15 from the old expo site and a couple of stops from the zoo and the large shopping centre near Luz.
The buffet breakfasts were excellent, with a wide selection of food to appease small and big people alike. High chairs appeared quickly and without prompting.
All the staff we encountered were outstanding and very friendly, as we had found on our previous stay. Having a small child (prone to the odd tantrum now and then although thankfully, had none in any public areas of the hotel!) was no problem and we didn't feel unwelcome or awkward in the hotel or anywhere beyond.
