Bed & Breakfast Casa do Principe, Lisbon

Nº23, 1 st floor, Praça do Príncipe Real, 1250-184 Lisboa, Portugal (show on map)

Expert reviews

The Guardian review:

“Some guests check into this B&B and stay for months. No surprise: the nine rooms are palatial, with floor-to-ceiling windows and period features, but sweetly homely. And its location, in well-to-do Principe Real, is central but tranquil.”

Lonely Planet review:

“Perfectly located, exquisitely restored and priced to shock, this new nine-room B&B is housed inside what once was the same 19th-century neo-Moorish palace as Embaixada next door.”

All you need to know

Nestled in the heart of Lisbon is the Bed and Breakfast Casa do Príncipe. Facing the Príncipe Real Garden, this intimate B&B contains spacious and sunny rooms featuring stuccowork ceilings, real hardwood floors and authentic frescos. Each comes equipped with a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Each room refers to a meaningful part of the Royal Prince, King D. Pedro V’s life for whom the bed and breakfast is named after.

The prince was born in 1837 and although he only lived to the age of 24, he contributed greatly to his people. The building that houses the bed and breakfast on the first floor was built in the 19th century and a lot of the period’s features have been preserved with the décor and design, which both exude sophistication, elegance and timelessness.

The smoke-free bed and breakfast offers a wide variety of amenities including concierge service and free WiFi. Guests can visit nearby attractions such as the Principe Real Square, Rossio Square, Santa Justa Elevator and Lisbon Cathedral. They can also immerse themselves in the local culture and mingle with the friendly native people. The B&B is only a few minutes’ walking distance from a variety of signature restaurants serving various cuisines including traditional Portuguese gastronomy.

A Palatial, unique experience in the heart of Principe Real, this place is a gem

The room itself was beautiful, palatial and very special and unique. The concierges were all very nice, helpful, professional and sweet. The location is amazing, at the heart of principe real, overlooking a beautiful park

The bathroom was clean but not well lit. It was quite dark in there. The light bulb above the sink’s mirror was missing, and so was one of the faucet handles. The breakfast itself was very basic. Some of the pastries offered weren’t fresh.

Charming But Impractical

Super comfortable beds and very attentive staff.

Not recommended for senior travelers because location was not easy to walk, hotel door and stairs difficult to use and bathroom was nearly impossible to move around in without bumping your elbows The floor to ceiling windows have no curtains for privacy, just wooden shutters that completely darken the room.

Great location, wonderful staff and a lovely stay

The most wonderful, kind staff at reception who really helped us when we had a delay from the company who were supposed to pick up some luggage for us. Beautiful big room with a huge bed and a leafy outlook. Big doors opening out to the balcony. Comfortable chairs to sit in. Basic but good breakfast with new pastries each day. Exceptional location with a beautiful park opposite with outdoor kiosks, a mirador only 5 mins walk and very easy to get to the centre of town.

There is construction noise at the moment on one side of the building and it meant we couldn’t leave the doors open and take advantage of the beautiful breezes. There is an aircon though if you want to use it. Overall there was plenty of variety at breakfast, good breakfast and a typical continental style so we were happy. Some cold milk at breakfast would be very appreciated for the cereal and coffee. We had to ask each day and usually it was a warm long life milk. Also, the yoghurts didn’t feel very cold and we didn’t want to risk getting sick. Leaving them in the fridge or on ice might be better.

Fantastic location, comfortable stay, and fun experience!

Casa do Principe was a nice stay. You’re immersed into history, the location is fantastic, the views were beautiful and the staff was helpful.

Being that it’s in an old building there isn’t much privacy and you can hear outside of your room very easily.

Easy to check-in, safe and enjoyable to sleep in, ultimately a great crash pad in this great city.

Location is GREAT! The staff was very kind and easy to communicate with. Safe property and quiet at night even though it's by lots of places people spend time.

The room itself was very cramped and the bathroom was basically open in the middle of the room. If staying more than 1 night it would have been more frustrating.

Slightly overpriced for what it really is

Nice view from the rooms to the park.

The hotel needs general maintenance, paint and fabrics need a new air.

Charming little B&B with excellent location

The location was ideal - so close to the main attractions and excellent restaurants. The place was clean and quite good value. It had interesting period features.

Though charming, there were a couple of quirks- the sink was awkward , it would leak all over the surface when used. And the toilet was in a little box within the room and the door didn't close securely so there wasn't much privacy when using the bathroom. It didn't have the best ventilation.

I like the history about the hotel. Also, there was an arboretum behind the hotel and a spacious, quiet restaurant (rare in Lisbon!). Ask hotel staff how to get to these city gems because it is kind of complicated.

Our room was right on a city street. Bring ear plugs if you can't get a guaranteed room on the park side of the building.

Perfect location! Close to everything but not in the middle of noisy & messy centre.

Breakfast is rather poor :( Coffee is not drinkable. I didn’t get a chance to have iron and ironing board, seemed there is only one available and was always occupied by someone else.

Central stay

The b&b is ideally located in a very popular road with loads of options for food and drink. The room was comfortable enough with a nice view of the park. Breakfast was nice!

Noise insulation was poor, we could hear the conversations happening in the next door room.

Great location!!! It is very easy to get around to other neighborhoods in Lisbon.

The staff was super friendly and helpful and even gave suggestions on place to grab a bite and drinks. I loved the architecture in the room with chandelier and crown molding. Loved the location and ease of exploring other neighborhoods in Lisbon on foot.

The pillows weren't great (a bit hard and/or firm with no other options available), and I had a hard time sleeping and woke up with a stiff neck. I did request a firm bed but didn't expect the pillows to also be. I usually bring my own pillow but wasn't able to this trip. So, I can only blame myself on that. 😕

Breakfast was good, however if they should consider serving omelet, Staff was attentive and quick to respond for an early breakfast.

Check-in fee for a late check-in after 900 PM. 20 Euros were charged which I find is not acceptable. In the hospitality business you one cannot rely on airline timings. Airlines routinely cancel flights and rebook. We were supposed to come at 5 PM but ended up at 10 PM.

Bed and breakfast...a little disappointing.

Comfortable bed and the room was quiet, because we were at the back of the building.

The rooms and bathrooms appear bigger in the photos. The breakfast lacked diversity and the coffee was poor.

The staff is professional and very friendly. We had a smaller room, but with few to the backyard which makes the room quiet and silent to sleep. The breakfast has a big selection and was very good. The location is in one of the beautifulst districts of Lissabon. A little bit up in the city, but there are restaurants and parks close by . You can walk down the street to the old town and pass by a famous fewpoint. Vis a vis is a beautiful park where you can sit, eat and have a coffee or drink after exploring the city.

This was our third time staying at this property and we highly recommend it and we will definitely return!

The staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating. The kitchen staff was amazing. Delicious breakfast and so kind to have our breakfast early so we could catch our early flight!

We stayed in the beach room and our suggestion is to change the shower head from the narrow cylinder to a standard round one.

The self serve breakfast in the morning was delicious and simple. The staff were all incredible and so helpful. Antonio helped us on our check in and was so warm and welcoming. He gave us great food and walking recommendations and even gave us tips on where to go in other parts of Portugal. It is in the heart of the city but still quiet enough at night to sleep.

I wish we could’ve stayed longer.

tidy, small and good location.

The staff was helpful with suggestions. The location was really nice across from a park and lots of good food and walking nearby. The room was quiet, good AC and the bed was comfortable.

The small room was really small and the bathroom is not super private, so best for an intimate couple or single. If I returned I would select a bigger room. The breakfast ran out a little early so be sure to go early. There isn't much public space outside of the room or dining room, so best for a traveler that is not at the hotel much, easy to do with a park across the street when the weather is good!
