Brown's Central Hotel

If you are looking for bang for your buck then look no further. I work in hotels and I understand service levels of all kinds. From the moment we arrived we were treated with kindness and courtesy. Room service was prompt. Cleaning and refreshing needs were met quickly and accurately. The room was well appointed and stylish and met all of our needs. The location cannot be beat for exploring all the central neighborhoods around Baixa. The experience with this hotel and with Lisbon overall actually led us to add an additional day to our vacation which the hotel accommodated easily. Another choice in hotel would come down to pure aesthetic choice but we found everything to be comfy and professional. For the price point this was a perfect decision. A couple of notes for the sake of an honest opinion. If you travel in a season that is generally cold and turns out to be a bit warmer be aware that you can’t switch from heat to AC. We found that simply opening the windows was enough for us. We thought that the bathroom could’ve benefited from a fan and maybe another more convenient outlet. It would also be nice to have a floor length mirror in the room for fit checks when going out at night. And my only real complaint would be the bed that was a good bit too firm for my liking. Still not enough to take off a star rating but maybe something to consider if you have back or shoulder problems. All things considered I would rate the place 5/5 and would absolutely stay again.

Can’t say enough how much I love this hotel. The location was very central and walkable. The receptionists were warm and professional. The bar area is such a nice vibe to hang out in that we almost were hesitant to explore else where. The room was clean and curated. The room we stayed in was on the smaller side, I’m sure they have bigger rooms for a higher price, but it had everything we needed and we were able to make the space work as it was very efficiently designed. Coffee, tea, and water all complimentary and refilled daily or upon request. Tea and coffee maker in the room. Mini fridge, well stocked with great snacks and drinks. Smart TV. Outlets and reading lights by the bed. Shampoo and body wash in the showers. Plenty of towels also restocked daily. We really had a great stay and would definitely return, or stay in any hotel in this family of hotels, after this great experience 🙂

Location is awesome. Near shops and restaurants and within walking distance to the water, cathedral and castle. Rooms are small but have all the amenities you need. It is a boutique hotel after all - which I loved. Amazing rain water shower 🚿 which feels great after a long day of walking. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. They have a beautiful lounge and bar area. Upon arrival , you can wait for your room with a welcome drink which was yummy. The staff are friendly and the hotel is right around the corner from a happening restaurant...lineups all day. I would go back to this hotel for sure.

Third time staying here and it was the best experience to date. I arrived early from my international flight and Marcos and Felipe were so kind in accommodating an early check in so that I could sleep. I upgraded my room this time and highly recommend going for the larger suite. My room was so quiet and dark and I had the best sleeps in a very cozy bed. Location is 10/10 to all the best cafes, shops, juice bars, and healthy spots. Highly recommend Rocco for Italian, Honest Greens and Merendinha for healthy choices, Contra for coffee and pastry and Folks for coffee and brunch. As a solo traveler it’s a very safe and great area. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back next year!!

We took a long time choosing our hotel in Lisbon, and I'm so glad we went for Brown's Central. It was great and really exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect, from the beautiful Mansard room in the attic to the staff. Especially the friendly, attentive bar staff. We loved the look of the bar area in the photos, and it didn't disappoint. It was great for a nightcap after dinner, and we ate there one evening too. The location in Baxia couldn't be more handy for everything there is to see in Lisbon, and only two streets from the Metro station. I can see why this area might be a bit loud in peak tourist season - but in January it was pretty quiet. Thank you for a great stay.

I recently stayed at Browns Central Hotel in Lisbon and it turned out to be an excellent choice for a city break. Location (10/10): You honestly couldn’t ask for a better base. The hotel is right in the heart of Baixa, within walking distance of Praça do Comércio, Rossio Square, and the Santa Justa Lift. Metro access is just steps away, which makes getting to and from the airport incredibly easy. Everything you need — restaurants, cafés, shops — is right outside the door. Rooms & Comfort: The rooms are stylish, modern, and cleverly designed. There’s a boutique feel with fun details like Marshall speakers and tablet-controlled lighting. The bed was very comfortable, and despite being in a central area, the room was surprisingly quiet at night. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped with good water pressure in the shower. Atmosphere & Design: The hotel has a trendy but relaxed vibe. The lobby and bar area feel welcoming, with a cool urban aesthetic that fits Lisbon perfectly. It feels more personal than a big chain hotel. Service: Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. Check-in was smooth, and they were happy to offer local recommendations. English was spoken fluently, which made everything easy. Food & Bar: The breakfast was fresh and well presented, with a good mix of continental options. The bar downstairs has a lively atmosphere in the evenings and is a nice place for a drink before heading out. Overall: Browns Central Hotel is ideal if you want a stylish, centrally located hotel with character. It’s perfect for couples or solo travellers who want to explore Lisbon on foot and enjoy being in the middle of the action. Would I stay again? Absolutely.

This is a nice hotel in terms of aesthetics and location but I am sad to say our experience does not reflect the wonderful experience that others have had. This was mainly due to the staff who were indifferent. We had trouble with the thermostat in our room and we were cold at night. There was an error message on the control panel. When we raised this we felt as though we were being a problem. Staff were more interested in chatting between themselves at the desk rather than try and help us. We spent 3 chilly nights in our room as we gave up in the end.

This is a gorgeous very stylish hotel with a great attention to design of any detail. The staff is wonderful, speaking very good English and very helpful. Breakfast had a good variety. The location is top centered. The bar in the lobby is very atmospheric and offers also good dining options. Just two things to improve: The bath shower box lost water onto the bathroom floor and was designed in the way that you cannot open the door if there is a foot carpet outside, so each shower ended up with water on the bathroom floor. On the day of the checkout there was a marathon in the city and taxis could not reach the hotel - just at the checkout which we did just before leaving for the airport we found out we had to walk 10 minutes to the nearest point where we could call an uber. Just a learning: would be helpful to be informed by the hotel staff the day prior to organize ourselves (the hotel staff sees all the upcoming check-outs so this could be easily arranged). Walking with the luggage and a baby stroller in our case + uber waiting time resulted in almost missing our flight, we literally ran into the plane at the last call.

Loved the overall vintage aesthetic of this hotel and the decor (...though it definitely doesn't need to be so dim in the dark hallways with black walls - while there are motion sensor lights, it's still so dark that there are segments of the hall that felt a little creepy to walk down). The rooms itself are nice - we had a cute vintage style mini fridge and alarm clock, safe, and I especially liked the Marshall Stanmore speaker that we could connect to using Bluetooth! There is AC and there are no screens on the windows (which is typical for European hotels, not a single hotel we stayed at during our trip had one). There were two luggage racks while most hotel rooms usually only offer one. The free welcome drinks were delicious and there is a little bar and restaurant in the lobby for a quick bite.

Wow! This hotel is just breathtaking, and service was top-notch. By far one of, if not the nicest, hotel we've stayed in. The Rooftop pool was FABULOUS. My favorite pros: Amazing AC - room cooled very quickly The rooftop pools was beautiful Comfortable room, blackout shade, great mattress, and mini bar/espresso machine. Smeg appliances Welcome cocktail at checkin Friendly staff

What a fantastic location, right in the heart of the old town. Minutes from all of the attractions. Staff are fantastic and there is a very cool bar with a great vibe and décor in the lobby area, they also have food into the late afternoon. The room was small but efficient and had everything you will need, ask for a room on the 4th floor and you will get a balcony onto the main street. Carolina at the front desk was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in getting us restaurant reservations. She really knows the city well and had great advice. I would definitely stay here again.

I am so happy and pleased with my experience at this hotel. We booked it online through booking.com and it was our first time doing it that way, so it was kind of risky. I'm a visual person so I checked out the pictures and I liked it. We also thought it will it will have a great location according to the map. Well, as soon as we got there we were happy to see for real everything we liked online and it felt excellent because; the location was amazing, we were in the middle of everything we wanted to go to and visit in the short amount of time that we were at Lisbon. The service was wonderful, these people communicated with me by email three times before my arrival to make sure all my requests were done before I get there. The people in the lobby were amazing and as soon as we checked in we got complimentary drinks at the bar, so we went to the bar and got a shot of the sweet Portuguese liquor so tasty and perfect for the cold weather. The background music they have playing on the whole time was simply amazing. It was very nice music jazz that made me happy instantly as soon as I walked into the lobby. They clean smell was also great, it felt very nice to be in a place like this which also was wonderfully decorated. I am impressed with all the details that this hotel has in terms of decoration, the rooms had so many nice stuff very modern but all decorated like in the 40s or 50s and that made me feel so good and so fortunate. We pay less than $130 per night and that included breakfast. Their breakfast was an amazing Portuguese breakfast that helped us going through the whole day and we walked a lot. I loved Lisbon it's a beautiful city with gorgeous gorgeous people and if I go again, which I want, I'm going to come back to this Hotel, because of everything I said and is the place to be. Thank you so much Brown's Hotel and I hope to see you next time, Obrigada.

This hotel has awesome location. It is very quiet from street noise. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and some options change daily. There are scrambled eggs, bacon, veggie, many breads, yogurt, walnuts, cereal,cold meats, cheese, water pitcher at eAch table, two espresso machines, tea,fresh apples, bananas, melon. The staff is friendly. There is a large bar lobby area with comfy chairs. I highly recommend this hotel. They held our bags when we arrived at 7am and also gave us breakfast vouchers.

A unique boutique hotel located in the heart of the old town. The decor has a modern 1950s vibe and it makes you feel comfortable as soon as you arrive. It offers free breakfast but that depends on what package you paid for. The location cannot be beat. You an easily walk around for shopping, located near a train station and you can easily walk to local attractions.

What a great cozy boutique hotel. Friendly staff and very attentive. They stored our luggage when we left for two days in Spain. Came back to new room for last night and they welcomed us with bottle of their red wine :) Also you receive a welcome drink upon arrival - ginja sweet cherry liqueur - originated in Lisbon. Rooms are different sizes and we went with small room with street view and it was perfect- bed was big enough and sooooo comfy . Breakfast downstairs had great selection of bread, pastries and some fruits . Eggs and sausage and some veggies. Nothing spectacular but enough to get you going on your day. Great location in center of the city - Baixa and Chiado district. 20 min to the airport. Make sure when you order a taxi to take you to airport to request a taxi with meter. We got arranged "tax" and it charged us flat fee of 20 euro when regular meter taxi various from 7-13 euros. Nevertheless - fantastic hotel.

After making a reservation directly with the hotel on my laptop, our desktop computer picked up a Malware warning when clicking on the link from the confirmation email. My request for information or clarification was not answered. Looks like a lovely place, but wouldn't book unless through a service like Priceline, Expedia, etc.

This was a lucky find. Value pricing for a cozy, friendly, lovely staff. Very clean well made rooms, beautiful breakfast buffet included. Centrally located. A short walk or 4€ cab ride to the Castle,(it's all uphill and we're lazy), near all of the fun shopping and mom and pop tiny, yummy restaurants. I can't say enough. We are here for 5 nights and could easily stay 2 weeks. Free wifi and computers to use. Soft velvet couches to sip your drinks in the bar. Multiple newspapers to read, very few Americans, but the staff speaks excellent English. I can't say enough. For the price, it's an excellent value and a beautiful place. You can feel the love, and get the unique feel for this warm historic city that is Lisbon.

Absolutely made my stay in Lisbon amazing! This is the nicest boutique hotel have been to and I will recommend it to everyone! It was perfection! I had the interior room which worried me at first. It's was narrow but i have never had a more comfortable room! The bed, the sheets, the towels were so luxurious! Decor was very classy and clean. The shower had great pressure and the toiletries provided were adequate. There's was coffe and tea in the room and a well stocked minibar. The staff all spoke very good English which was a big relief to me. They provided me with a power adaptor and weigh scale for my luggage and attended to everything I asked including assistance about the town during my stay. The lounge and bar area and impeccably decorated with comfortable eclectic furniture and art. The bar staff offered me a shot of ginger sour with dark chocolate as a welcome drink. It was awesome! I ordered the full glass the next evening. The breakfast was included and it was top notch including several varieties of cheeses and pastries. The location can't be more perfect! It's near several bars and restaurants and only a few minutes walk to several sites including Castelo De Sao Jorge and the Arc de San Agustin. It's also not far from the public plaza and several shops. I plan on visiting Lisbon again and this is where I will be staying when I do! Bravo Browns!

We love it here! You have to pull the door knob, then push it to open the door. The bar in the lobby is nice. They held our bags, called my cell phone when our room was ready, and gave us an early check in. The room are tiny, but clean. Breakfast buffet is included each morning. We're happy :)))))

Beautiful surroundings....really relaxing and beautiful food delivered with excellent professional service by Carlos.

When I book a hotel room, I generally care most about cleanliness and location. All of the reviews I found online reassured me that Brown's Central was a good choice for our stay in Lisbon...and they were right. The hotel is centrally located with restaurants, drinks, transportation, and shopping right outside the door. São Jorge Castle is an uphill walk away and the waterfront just a few blocks. Our "small room with an interior view" was truly tiny with a view of a wall a few inches away, but well appointed and clean. If you plan to stay for more than a couple days, I would recommend a larger room or at least a room with windows opening to the outside because our room felt cramped quickly. The shower water pressure was great and the blow dryer in the room was powerful (I didn't regret not packing my own). The hallways are very dark, so we struggled at times unlocking our door and, really, there may have been something wrong with the doorknob. Not a big deal and nothing a flashlight app didn't resolve. The wi-fi from the lobby worked well in our room. The check-in time is 3pm. Unfortunately, they couldn't accommodate our request for an early check-in, but like most places, they were willing to hold our bags then as well as when we checked out. With the clean room, great location, and the free daily breakfast, I felt like we got a good deal on our stay.

Fun, trendy hotel on a great location. My room faces a courtyard and the front faces a pedestrian only street - so at least two sides are very quiet. Room is small, but cute and comfy. A/C works great. Perfect location in a very fun, safe neighborhood.

Awesome location near everything including restaurants, tourist attractions and public transportation. The breakfast was hearty and provided enough options for everyone. Not your typical cookie cutter hotel in the very best way- totally recommend!

This was our home base while in Lisbon, and we were very happy with everything. Excellent location (we walked almost everywhere), friendly staff, funky decorations in the room and lobby, and a nice, complete free breakfast. Bathroom was a little cramped, but otherwise the room was a decent size. If we were to go back to Lisbon, we'd stay there again!
