At arrival we were greeted with an option to upgrade to a better room for no extra cost. The location is very accessible to all necessary means of transportation; metro, train, bus. All the staff were very friendly and thoughtful. The breakfast provided was more than satisfying; fruit, cereal, eggs, fresh orange juice, jams, cheese, ham, chorizo, coffee, and a variety of teas. The lounge area was ´muito fixe´ ..We would like to write more good things but we have run out of characters Obrigado

Our room was extremely small - we barely had enough room to put our suitcases. There was also only one plug in the room, so we had to choose between keeping the lamp on or charging our cameras/phones. The shard bathrooms had an inconsistent supply of hot water. On both mornings, we had to take a half cold/half hot shower. Furthermore, one of the bathrooms continually flooded every time someone took a shower.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thank you very much for this comment. I would just like to put it into context to clarify future guests: 1) The private double room this guest stayed at is the cheapest in our house, which is located in the most central place in Lisbon, and the rate is only €20/person/night with a great breakfast inlcuded. It is a small room but cozy and luggage does fit in the room. On our booking confirmation email we always indicate which room you stay at and you can check it on our website and even change it. 2) There is one plug in the room with a triple plug attached to it, so you can plug cameras and phones and the lamp will still be on. If needed, we can provide more triple plugs and estensions. 3) Unfortunatly, we had a problem with one of the bathrooms that day. In total there are 3 fully-equipped independent bathrooms for only 8 double rooms. Thank you for your time to read this.

good location off maine square Rossio, nice clean bedrooms and shared bathrooms with towels provided, kitchen for cooking meals if you want to, breakfast provided, computer with Internet available, along with guide books and flyers. friendly staff who speak perfect English. Only 2 small things: hooks in the bedroom for hanging towels on would be helpful - ('bairros' room), also one of the showers needs adjusting on that floor so it doesn't spray into the wall

The location is absolutely fantastic for both travel purposes (near Rossio terminal, trams and the Aerobus stop) and for exploring the loveliest parts of Lisbon on foot. The welcome we received was very warm, the place was spotless, and the breakfast perfectly fine and fresh. Our room was pretty small but it was nice to have an ensuite for €80 a night B&B per room - and anyway, the location is so central, you won't be spending much time in the room!

A most charming, friendly, warm and comfortable place to stay in Lisbon. Bruno gave us excellent and honest advice about places to visit, restaurant recommendations, and warnings about pickpockets on Tram 28. We heeded ALL of his advice and our stay in Lisbon could not have been more perfect. STAY HERE for the best possible Lisbon experience!!!

We found the staff very helpful and informative on things to see and do in Lisbon . We were impressed by the room we had ( view, size) and that the room itself and the bathroom were very clean. We would stay here again.

We love the Lisbon Story Guesthouse! The location cannot be beat, the staff is very friendly and very helpful. We love the common area and this time around (our second visit) we stayed in the Escritor room, which had a spectacular view of the Rossio Square and beyond. Highly Recommended!
