Brown's Central Hotel

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 🙂

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!!

This has a beautiful vibe to it. Laid back, jazzy, smart and elegant. It's a little sexy in a good way. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The room was neat clean and compact. Perfect for a single person. Would be tight for two. It's located in a busy part of town, so there will be some noise at night, but that's to be expected. I would happily return to this hotel.

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.

It was a little pricey. But everything was ok. It was very clean. The decorations were cute. All the facilities were put on a small table. I enjoyed their good tea. The lobby area had a great ambiance. I recommend this hotel to others. The staff were very respectful and kind.

Could be improved. Our double room on 3rd floor had a vibe of style over substance. Does any small hotel room need 9 lamps, plus ceiling lighting? Huge propeller design ceiling fan initially seemed imposing, but was definitely needed as the a/c was broken in all rooms. Unnecessarily large appliances fridge hosting the mini bar, a large speaker, plus separate radio, full sized kettle. Room has a glass partition between sleep area and bathroom. For modesty a curtain is pulled across. I assume this is because room was small. At night curtain needed to be closed to block out street light. I think this needs improvement, like a wall. 2 keycards were required to activate the lighting. Positives Great location, boutique feel, popular bar, great service from front desk and housekeeping. High thread bedding and very clean. Good amount of storage space, with every surface/recess used. Bathroom has good quality fittings. Fast WiFi. Would've requested room change, but most issues weren't obvious until later.

We booked a superior room and were given one on the 4th floor. It had windows overlooking the street below but high enough up to shut out any street noise. The room was spacious and well equipped with a very large and super comfortable bed, although the pillows could have been better. Staff were friendly, breakfast varied and good. The highlight is a fantastically comfortable and welcoming bar area, just right for a late night cocktail!

Gorgeous hotel. Very wonderful staff, everyone was friendly and vibrant. I arrived late after initially ending up at the sister hotel, and the staff were very patient and kind and even upgraded my room. The room was very spacious with quirky decor and I found the bed to be super comfortable. The breakfast was also tasty and fresh. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Lisbon as the hotel and its location are wonderful. Great for a solo female traveler!

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!
