About this place Bairro Alto Hotel

The Bairro Alto Hotel is consistently cited as Lisbon's most desirable gay-friendly hotel — a five-star property occupying a meticulously restored eighteenth-century palace on Praça Luís de Camões, at the junction of the Chiado and Bairro Alto neighbourhoods and a short walk from the core of the Príncipe Real gay scene. The hotel's roof terrace is one of the finest in the city: panoramic views over the rooftops to the Tagus, a bar programme that makes it a social destination in its own right, and access that is limited to guests and those who make a table reservation for dinner. The rooms are designed to an exceptionally high standard, with the quiet luxury aesthetic that distinguishes the best Portuguese hotel design — natural materials, handcrafted details, azulejo tile work woven into the décor. The hotel's restaurant, BAHR, is among the better hotel restaurants in Lisbon. For visitors for whom the Bairro Alto Hotel's rates are within range, it is unambiguously the correct choice for a gay-friendly Lisbon stay. The location, the quality, and the discreet welcome combine to make it the reference point against which other Lisbon hotels are measured.

Fantastic hostel! The people are welcoming, the common areas are inviting, the terraces are lovely, and the view from the balcony is incredible! The buffet is varied, and the communal kitchen has everything we needed. There's even a makeup room with a hairdryer. I highly recommend it!

It's very close to the city center on foot, ideal for saving money on transportation during your trip. The reception staff are very friendly. For example, when I checked in, they gave me a glass of water with lemon and chatted with me. My pillow had a slight stain on one side, and with the light on, the room quickly becomes infested with mosquitoes.

I thought the hostel was amazing, very nice, and the breakfast for €5 is fantastic. It's the best value for money in Lisbon, I highly recommend it! The rooms are very cute too. Comfortable rooms and a great terrace.

We stayed one night If you need a place to stay for cheap, it's fine. But would never stay longer. It's dirty, noisy and we always felt a little unsafe. Also the area is kind of sketchy.
