Lisboa Prata Boutique Hotel

"Prata Boutique Hotel was one of the more underwhelming stays of our trip. The location is good, but that is where the positives largely end. The hotel is very noisy, the bedding is poor, there is no tea or coffee in the room, and the shower is so cramped it is really only practical for a small to medium-sized person. The staff were cold, distant and transactional. There was no warmth, no real hospitality and certainly no sense that anyone was prepared to go the extra mile. Nothing was catastrophically bad, but the whole experience felt basic and indifferent. This is not a boutique experience in any meaningful sense — it is a 3-star hotel delivering a very ordinary 3-star stay. 3/5."

"Very basic hotel with very dated facilities. The shower was discoloured and hardly any living space. You can hear everything outside in using the tram that starts at about 6am and doesn’t finish until midnight ish. We were also charged for ‘chocolate’ who h we didn’t consume from the mini bar (baring in mind they only offer is Pringles, coke and water) in the room and we knew straight away not to consume any of this due to ridiculous prices. We argued it and they gave us the money back in cash which is useless when you’re leaving the country. Other reviews have said about a similar experience. The location is good but you can definitely find somewhere better to stay that’s local."

"The location of the hotel is perfect - right in the heart of Baixa with plenty of shopping, restaurants and transit options. The building is beautiful and comfortable, and our room was spacious with many windows and a Juliet balcony so with the windows open, we felt like we were right in the middle of the action, looking out onto several bustling patios and pedestrian traffic. Close the windows and poof - basically sound proof, and the AC makes fresh air a non-issue. My spouse complained that the cleaning staff did a poor job though I didn’t notice. There was a single electrical outlet for the entire room, far away from the bed which made phone charging a hassle. A kettle and various tea options are provided, but no coffee - not even instant. We had to purchase a small bar of instant coffee for the room. I understand they are hoping you will buy breakfast but North American guests are accustomed to drinking coffee when waking up, and it seems a simple thing to provide. Staff were courteous and helpful. I would stay here again but I’d bring a longer extension cord and some coffee packets."
