Monte Belvedere Hotel By Shiadu

“Great location - great find!”

Central, quiet location with fantastic views from rooftop breakfasts (or evening drinks)! Swifts flew through the houses around and below. Clean rooms. Rooftop views looking towards bridge & river (floor 4). Friendly staff. Room key also operated lifts.

Monte Belvedere was an amazing boutique hotel. It’s in a charming historic building nestled into the side of the hill. It’s located in a restricted traffic area so it was quiet and off the beaten path. The hotel also has an environmental commitment and serves food grown at their farm nearby and composts and recycles. We had amazing views from our rooms, but even if you don’t upgrade you can visit the 7th floor terrace for a drink and experience one of the best views in Lisbon. It’s worth it to pay for the daily breakfast so you can start your day relaxing with a full breakfast, a coffee or tea and take in that amazing view. The staff were incredibly helpful and reached out before our arrival to offer their car service and to answer any questions we had about our accommodations. They also made great recommendations for places to eat, shopping and nightlife spots. Two small improvements they could make are washcloths as part of their linen service and conditioner in the shower. Note the location is great but may prove challenging for people with mobility impairment due to steep hills and stairs.

“Special hotel in amazing location”

We stayed 2 at Belvedere hotel on two different occasions. The location is quite special and unique. From our limited knowledge of Lisbon geography this has to be the top location in Lisbon. The hotel itself is a merge of a couple of older buildings that have been joined and remodeled to make hotel rooms. (more on that later) Staff were amazing --- super friendly and attentive. Our room, although small, was well equipped and had a partial view of the water front. Bed comfort was very good and the heating/cooling system worked well. There was a safe and a kettle. The breakfast area on the top of the hotel was really special, with an almost 360 degree view of Lisbon. The food was on another level, with many products cooked from their farm. One particular server was very helpful. The only thing that let down our experience was noise. Since the hotel was created from an older building that joins with another, some hall floors are sloped like ramps. As you walk on them, they make a pronounced thumping sound as if the ramp was made of cheap plywood construction. On our second stay, room 44 had one of these sloped hallway floors beside our room and you could hear everyone thumping by our room. The doors to the rooms do not have a "soft close" feature, that prevents people from slamming the hotel doors. While I was reading in bed, when the room door was closed in the room next to us, the banging of the door moved the wall so much that my head bounced. The room to room sound-proofing was not great, as we had noisy neighbors at 4am in the room next door and we could easily hear them. There are "Quiet" signs all over this hotel, so I suppose these are known issues. At least the hotel could install soft close devices on doors and make the sloped hallways less noisy. Note: on our first stay we were in room 33 and it somewhat quieter.
