Quiet location, moments from the Rato metro stop, connecting you to wherever you want to be in Lisbon or to day trips via train. Great options included to leave your baggage if you have early/late flights before/after check in/out.

The good: Great shared kitchen, shared patio which we enjoyed (and never saw anyone else out there), location is great and in a very walkable area. The room was very clean and every day was tidied up for us. The rooms themselves were cute too and little shampoos were provided in the showers. The bad: We had a room with two floors, one bedroom on each floor. We were traveling with a toddler and found the stairs in the room to be risky! They were steep, manyyyy stairs up to the second bedroom, the railing had kid-sized gaps...so that room not advised for anyone traveling with smaller children. There was a stinky smell in the upstairs bathroom (old plumbing?) and the room reeked of weed from other guests all night (normally wouldn't mind, but with a kid - not pleasant). A bit loud from hallway sounds (and keypads, they should be silenced tbh).

I enjoyed this guesthouse. Very clean and well located! Easy check in and I was able to leave my luggage in their locker after I checked out since my flight was leaving late that evening. The communication with the host was very good too. If you come in the winter make sure you ask for a portable heater for the room, it really helped me :)

Liked: Cleanliness
I found the place spotless and the atmosphere was very calm -there were not many other guests staying but while I was there it was very quiet the interactions with the owner and the cleaning staff were very positive. The location is great and I loved my room. It was really colourable peaceful and nicely decorated. I was very glad I picked to stay here. Plenty of nice things nearby and way to get around from. The terrace is huge although I didn’t use as it was raining but this seems like a really nice base in Lisbon. -I would consider staying there again and is nice there is a well equipped kitchen also. Thank you for a nice stay😊

Great property if you are in your 20s and visiting. Super clean, in the middle of everything from bars to restaurants and shops, steps from Rato station on the yellow line and in front of the tram. Limited contact which made it super easy checking in.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING... Great job to the owner/creator. Loved the concept. I felt I was home away from home. The room/bathroom was huge, according to European standards. Loved the rustic, minimalistic modern feel. And those windows with ALL that light, great architectural detailing. I never saw or heard the cleaning staff. I would hit the streets in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and everything was FLAWLESS. Oh, and the RATO Metro is literally across the street, safe and easy to navigate. Took it directly from the airport. Saved tons on transportation. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. However, note this is not a hotel and might not be for everyone. It's a very cool concept!

Principe Real Guesthouse Stay Review

Very nice and spacious room. Only thing is maybe they can give more quantity of soap and shampoo. Otherwise awesome property and stay! I would say maybe double check the locks on the very outside door(the street entrance), me and my friend found it was fairly easy to open even without using the room code so just make sure thats a little more secure. Thanks!

We Felt Like Princes at Principe Real!

Excellent stay at Principe Real Guest House. A wonderful room, very well kept, elegantly decorated, ideally located near the Rato subway station and close to Lisboa's historical downtown. The place is very clean (and smells very good), includes a communal kitchen, and even lockers for late departures. Our room was beautiful and spacious. The decoration combines minimalistic modernism with colonial touches. The bathroom was lovely as well. We loved it, and will definitley come back!

Great location and comfortable stay

Location is perfect, minutes walk from buses and metro station. Easy to get food or drink nearby. Room has a juliet balcony, but window might let outdoors noise come in, even when fully closed. We stayed weekend, so I definitely felt parties happened outside on street. Room is clean, and shared kitchen is clean too, there is mid size fridge, microwave and convection oven. All utensils and plates. There are easy bags for coffee, sugar, tea etc, but no salt, pepper or oil if you need cook anything basic or add flavour. Overall good, except noise, no lobby person or in person greeting, just an email from owner for all entry codes and wifi password.

+ accessibility (busses + tram!) + amazing bakery around the corner (pastelaria 1800), opens at 6am and still open at 11pm so it's perfect for getting something to eat if you have late/early flights + authentic Portuguese building, old and charming + feels like a home, spacious kitchen, large bathroom + convenient check in with keypad + daily cleaning = shower takes a few minutes to warm up = the hot and cold knobs work in different directions. = busy road outside, so it is safe to walk at night, but also can be loud. ask for room on the garden side if you can. = on the first floor, and there are a few steps down from the foyer to the bedroom inside the suite, so it could be an issue for those with mobility issues (but ok for me)

Perfect Principe Real

Second time staying at this guesthouse and loved it just as much as first time. Entry codes with clear instructions are sent a couple days in advance with no concerns. Rooms are compact but comfortable. Beds and pillows are excellent. Rooms are very clean. Shared kitchen is well equipped and there is a large outdoor patio for the guests to use. The area has a metro 2 blocks away and a grocery store just beyond. Downtown is a 15minute walk. Will definitely stay again.

I had a pleasant time at the hotel. I traveled solo and stayed for 6 nights while visiting friends and attending a festival. I’ve stayed in this neighborhood twice before and it’s filled with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and a grocery store a block away. Many parks are nearby. The hotel does not have a lobby or room service, but the self check in was very easy. There are storage lockers to hold your luggage if you arrive early or leave late. A main kitchen area was shared with other rooms that had a small refrigerator, microwave, and utensils. The rooms and common areas were cleaned daily. And I found my room clean and spacious, with a desk/chair and additional lounging chair. I would stay again.

Issues started with check in at this property, received an email with check in codes that didn't work upon arrival. Was forced to turn on my international data plan to contact the staff to be able to access my room as the property gives a phone number but no phone or staff on site. Room was clean and renovated. Common kitchen was always cleaned. Daily housekeeping only folds and re-uses your wet towels. Common hallway seemed to have a sewage smell that they tried to mask with air fresheners. Ongoing construction in the building starts at 8AM, which includes jack-hammering and loud music.

Very nice, safe place. About 25 minute walk to the heart of town (uphill on the way home though). Very clean and easy to get to. The beds were a little hard for my liking, but still very clean and you have all you need. The communal kitchen was fantastic, with a small fridge to keep anything overnight. This was kept clean and stocked with tea and coffee.
