Browns Central Hotel - Lisbon

The hotel is really central and an ideal location for sightseeing. There are a lot of people around it trying to sell drugs. It was constant every time we left or returned to the hotel. The rooms are TINY. The smallest room I have ever stayed in. It is not possible for 2 people to be in the bathroom and the same time. You have to move the towel rail to be able to open the shower door. I had to move the kettle and coffee machine to try to make space to do my hair. There isn’t space to do anything yet they managed to fit in 3...yes 3 radios ???? There is hanging space but no drawers. The safe is not fixed to anything so you could easily lift it and walk out with it if you were a thief. Breakfast was fine....nothing special. The bar is nice and the bar staff were excellent and really friendly. The lift near our room was like something from the 1920’s you have to pull across the gate behind you when you step into it. It too was tiny and couldn’t hold more than 2 people. That said it was kind of cute & quaint. The whole place is generally dark. Corridor lighting is on a sensor so dark as you enter. We paid extra to have a window in the room so I imagine the rooms that are minus a window would also be very dark. As for the house keeping that was excellent. The bedrooms are spotless and they changed the sheets every day we were there. I simply can’t fault the house keeping. We were only there for 3 nights so if was fine but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

Great staff-very helpful and polite. Excellent WiFi service and nice amenities. Good location in central tourist core of the city. Two minor complaints are the clutter in the room-decorations of every surface (2, yes 2 big box radios!?!) left very little room for guests’ belongings. Far too many trendy details with no concern for function or guest real needs. And door locks are a nightmare to operate.

Great location in the center of Lisbon on one of the pedestrian walkways. Very comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms, and many amenities. The public spaces were nice, including the dining area where a sumptuous breakfast was served. Staff was helpful arranging for transportation, shows, reservations, etc.

Very nice hotel, cozy and lovely. Close to Baixa-Chiado station and Rossio statoin (which is very convenient when going to Sintra and Belem area). Many restaurants and also supermarkets around. Breakfast is yummy and lots of variation.

The room was very clean. The hallways were decorated very dark and gloomy. I would give it a 3.5
