Ribeira Tejo Boutique Guesthouse

TL;DR- this hotel this amazing and you should absolutely book here, for the location, staff, and amenities. If you are are like me, you probably are trying to choose between a few different hotel options. Let me save you some trouble: book here. I am so immensely glad I spent my time in Lisbon at this hotel. The location is amazing, I was close to everything, including the Time Out Market, which has amazing food, and the Cais Sodre train station, which was very helpful, as many of the buses and trams stop there. It is not far from the main tourist areas of Lisbon, and everything was within a short walk. I will note, that this area of the city gets a little loud at nights, as it is very close to the nightlife scene, though I never had issues sleeping. It was perfect for me, but if you crave peace and quiet, perhaps find a quieter Shiadu hotel instead. The building itself is gorgeous, with unique furniture and artwork all throughout, it felt like I was staying in someone’s home, rather than a hotel. It as though they have gone out of their way to create an authentic experience for the guests, down to the soaps in the bathroom and blanket on the bed- all made in Portugal. As far as the rooms are concerned, they were warm, immaculate, and inviting; the beds were comfortable, and they even had a diffuser for the hair dryer in the bathroom (you curly haired folk will understand how vital this is). The staff were amazingly kind and attentive. Since it was my first time in Lisbon, Sophia pulled out a large map and circled areas I may be interested in, explained the city layout to me, and how I could get around. Every question I had for the staff, they had a helpful and friendly answer. And can I tell you about the breakfast? Because the breakfast was amazing; it rivals some of the breakfasts I’ve had in restaurants. A wonderful selection of pastries, breads, meat, cheeses, and some things I couldn’t identify but it didn’t matter- they were all delicious. It was a perfect start to every day. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the view. Oh. My. God. The view. When I booked the reservation, I booked a “river view”, which I assumed, like most hotels around the world, would mean I might be able to see a tiny portion of the river from the corner of a window. Not here. Two giant, floor to ceiling windows, will full views of the river, that opened onto little terraces with window boxes. I actually giggled like a little girl when I walked into my room for the first time, I was that blown away. I could gush about this hotel forever. When I stay in Lisbon next time (and there will be a next time), I will book here again, or perhaps try one of Shiadu’s other locations. If you have made it this far into my ramblings, what are you waiting for? Go book!

Excellent location in Lisbon just behind the market with walking distance to downtown. Rooms are ok, beds are very good. Breakfast is excellent. WiFi works. Family room is ok but with 4 it gets a little crowded..

Wow! The room (double with a sea view) was beautiful. Comfortable bed and very quiet in spite of the location. And the location could not be any better. Right next to the time out market and the waterfront and a 10 min walk to Bairro alto. The staff here are so welcoming and ready to help with anything.

We loved this hotel. It was our favorite hotel of our 2 week trip. The breakfast was awesome, the service the best we had and the location ideal, right across the street from the market, close to all transportation. The restaurant downstairs was superb, great food, cool vibe.

This is a very loud, but also lively quarter. The hotel is clean, besides the bath room that is stinky and with mould in the shower (see picture) but the service, even if they seem trying hard, was limited. They told us that we were to early and the rooms would only be ready in 30 minutes. But when coming back 30 minutes later, they still told us the same. Then I was kindly offered the possibility to change and shower since I was tight on time, but they never brought me the promised towel (had to use my sweater). But all this at least in a friendly tone...

This is a fantastic place to stay in Lisbon. A wonderful bed and breakfast. Each room has its own bathroom. Breakfast included is delicious and the location is great...close to public transportation and sightseeing. Staff is very friendly!

Loved it here. Quirky and run by people who understand tourism. Would recommend you pick room with a view. Great location. Helped us find a laundromat. Breakfast included with lots of variety - but does require you walk up one flight of stairs.

The friendliest, nicest place and staff ever with the most amazing breakfast! We enjoyed so much, and would come back gladly! The rooms are light, spacious and spotless, location is super central and convenient, with trains, trams and bus lines within 2 minutes walk. Time Out Market is just across the street and there is a beautiful river Tejo view from the rooms on upper floors. Amazing place!
