5 star Independent hotels in Lisbon, Portugal

This is a place that we would definitely return to. The hosts are most welcoming and the guesthouse indeed has plenty of charm. The rooms are comfortable and the pool is a fantastic place to pass the time of day. The breakfasts are spot on and we could not fimd fault anywhere. Not that we even bothered looking! My wife is pregnant and on leaving, our hostess Suzanna gave us a little gift for the baby (a sweet babygrow)... when does that ever happen in this day and age. Wonderful....

We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was perfect. They arranged a complementary pick-up from the airport and, as we arrived very early due to problems with TAP, they rustled up a lovely breakfast. The room was elegant, spacious and had wonderful views over the Tagus. The staff were brilliant. And the neighbourhood was fascinating. There is no dinner in the hotel but there are plenty of cheap authentic restaurants in easy walking distance. Altogether a wonderful experience.

Staff are very kind and their smile reflect their friendliness. We enjoyed our stay and felt so relaxed.

The place is very nice, the hotel is very well managed with a trained staff. We recommend

We ate at the restaurant later in the trip. Outstanding meal and service. Wish I went earlier so I could have returned.

We stayed at The Mercy Hotel for a New Years Eve trip to Lisbon. The staff excellent, very helpful and welcoming, even to the point of ensuring our friend, who lives in Lisbon, was taken home safely at 3am on NYE. The location is excellent, right in the middle of the Barrio Alto and Chiado areas so you get the best of shopping, bars and restaurants. Although I would advise wearing comfortable shoes for exploring.... I had no idea Lisbon was so hilly! There are some lovely restaurants in the Barrio Alta area, we had great meals at very reasonable prices. The room was small but cosy and the bed was very comfortable. We slept well even though we overlooked the main road. My only criticism of the room is the lack of spare sockets to charge phones/iPad etc. I had to crawl under the bedside cabinet to unplug the lamp to charge my phone! I small problem I know, but unusual in a new hotel in this day and age when we all travel with various bits of technology. All in all Lisbon is definitely worth a visit for a weekend away and the Mercy is a great base for exploring.

Great hotel in Cascais, the Beverly Hills of Lisbon. It is luxurious and wonderful, although a little removed from everything.
