Asul B&B — Hotel in Lisbon

Rooms - clean, big, good mattresses, fan included.

Bathrooms- separate from room, big, clean

Breakfast - fresh orange juice, coffee, you can make toasts, omelets, there are croissant and Pasteis(custard desert), marmalades, yogurt, diff kind of corn flakes for kids. I dont get why i read negative comments about the breakfast... Do people expect caviar and champagne for breakfast?

Location - PERFECT You are located in the district where the nightlife is at its peak. You have the Alfama, bairo alto districts and the centre in 5-10 mins distance. The Trains to Belem and Sintra/Cascais are also near the location. As every city with a strong nightlife scene i would recommend for the light sleepers to get some oropax, i never travel without them!

The owner is very friendly and can give you recommendations for places to eat etc.

How to get there - you can either use the shuttle service(families, bigger groups) or the metro (as we did) with a little common sense its doable.

What i recommend - get the Lisbon card!

A little tip for Sintra - after you leave the Sintra train station take the bus 434 and get to Pena Palace, buy ONLY the Park ticket since you can still get inside the terraces and make awesome pictures, this way you avoid the lines and save like 10 euros per person. After that go to the moors castle(200m) and then head to Historic town Sintra to eat something. The Hike down the steep mountain is easier than the way up(thats why you take the bus for) Thank me later :)

Also visit the Oceanario in Lisbon! Great for kids and adults, i starred at the sharks for like 1 hour, mesmerizing!

Have fun!

PS:take some warm clothes also with you, it gets windy in this city, especially at the...

Good: breakfast and beds

Bad: it's an old building so you will hear everyone walk and open/close doors and talk in their rooms. Almost everyone during my stay walked very heavy. A child ran upstairs a few times. Our private bathroom was down the hall, not connected to the room. Also, if you travel with only credit cards like most Americans, I will be the one to tell you to expect to give them cash at the end of the trip for the "tourist tax." My last morning in Lisbon was spent running around to different atms and a Western Union at the suggestion of the owner which was either closed or moved. I ended up going to a convenience store and explained to him why I came to him for cash. He seemed confused and asked me why the hotel wouldn't accept my card. I came back with the money, and the owner told me both 1) it's common sense to carry cash in Europe and 2) several Americans have had the exact same problem as me. I have been to most of Europe, and this has never been an issue. Then she told me she would NEVER bring her cards to America and would carry cash. (However, in America, it is common sense that about half the stores do not accept cash). I had been kind and respectful my entire stay here, but was disappointed to be made to look...
