Hotel Dom Sancho I

I was extremely lucky to have noticed the sign for this amazing property on a late evening walk along the famous Avenida da Liberdade. I went up to ask if there was a single room for my last night in Lisbon two weeks later, before flying home. The two gentleman at the reception even offered to show me a room, and I booked through the hotel website. Best idea I had in a very long time. During my 24-hour stay, I dealt mostly with Bruno, but also occasionally with Victor; both were extremely gracious and helpful, as was the rest of the staff. On top of it all, the rate is, to say the least, very reasonable, and breakfast is included. I have recommended this exceptional property to everyone I know. A real gem.

We just returned from a lovely 5 night stay at Dom Sancho 1. The hotel is located in a 5 story characterful building on the second floor, on a wide tree lined avenue that is full of designer boutiques, approx 15 minute walk to where all the tourist restaurants and bars are and 5 minutes to the local metro station, it is in a very good location to explore all the tourist sites from. In the hotel there is a small modern lift, the stairs are tiring if you have luggage. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful lady on reception who checked us in and later when asked gave some excellent recommendations and advise. Our room was at the back, away from the street and breakfast room meaning minimal noise. The room was tastefully decorated with antique style pictures and furniture, with 2 single beds pushed together, a large wardrobe, desk/dressing table and TV, there was also bedside lights to read and a large window with shutters and free air con/heating. The bathroom was a little small but adequate for our stay. The whole room and bathroom was very clean with white towels and a small selection of toiletries. Our beds were made everyday by the maid. We decided to try the bed and breakfast option as it seemed good value and we were not disappointed, good selection, cheeses, ham, bread rolls, sliced bread, boiled eggs, cereals, yoghurt and fruit, also a good section of teas and coffee. We found all the staff friendly and helpful, we were also able to leave our luggage at the hotel on our last day as we had a late evening flight and allowed to use toilets to freshen up before we were picked up. If I had to write a small negative then I would say that the beds were a little hard for me ( but that is just a personal choice ) and maybe the door buzzer ( main door to whole building is closed around 10pm and you had to buzz to be let in) is a little loud and can be heard in the rooms at the back but that is just one tiny complaint. Overall I would recommend this hotel to everyone and would love to return one day.

“Lisbon gem”

Quaint hotel within walking distance of main attractions. Local buses are also available. Conceriege Victor was helpful and attentive. He took the trouble to find ice so that I could have cold water. Americans need ice. He recommended an excellent local seafood restaurant.

We had a very pleasant stay, the hotel is in a great location for exploring Lisbon on foot and there is a metro station only a few minutes away that links to the airport. The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful, the facilities whilst quite simple were perfectly adequate and very clean and breakfast is included. This hotel is well suited for a short stay city break and good value.
