  What an amazing experience!!

  02 Apr 2026

  I stayed here for two nights and what an experience!!We arrived by midday and was greeted by the cleaner who very kindly showed us the way to our room and let us pay.We had the Magic suite which was on the very top floor in the attic, however it didn't disappoint. At first arrival, it seemed a little cramped and after climbing several flights of very steep stairs we were underwhelmed with the space we had. However after settling in we soon realised it was perfect for our stay. The view from our window was incredible and it really gave us a cultural experience of Lisbon which was what we wanted! The facilities were perfect, the bathroom clean and a well functioning shower. We had a small table and chairs by the window which was perfect for view of the sunrise and sunset. There is also a mini fridge, a microwave, cups, mugs, plates and cutlery which was helpful. However we found that it was more enjoyable to eat out and only had drinks stored in the mini fridge. There were multiple plugs with extension leads and lamps for the evening. The sloping of the ceiling did mean we had to kneel at certain points however the majority of the space is accessible to stand up in fine. One thing to be wary about is after a long, hot day the rooms closer to the top can get swelteringly hot. There is air-conditioning provided but we found it didn't make much of a difference. We opened the window completely and by around 9pm it was much cooler, just beware that it will get hot but as long as you open the window, the cool evening air will come through and our sleep wasn't effected.One thing we noticed was every morning around 7:30am there would be people in the streets and noise, however this is to be expected as it is in a hotspot and it's a reasonable hour. We also found it was rather peaceful by the evening and we were able to sleep fine despite being in a busy area. It is good to know that all suites and hotels in Lisbon will be up steep flights of stairs and the rooms will be rather small as that's just how the city is. This was easy to locate and in a great spot that we could easily male our way back to no matter where we had been during the day. I would highly recommend Lisbon Inn Bica Suites as I believe it gives a true experience of the culture of Lisbon and was perfect for our short stay here.

  WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. MISLEADING.

  17 Feb 2025

  Review:I wish I could give zero stars. This was, without a doubt, the worst night I’ve ever had in any accommodation.First of all, the room we booked was not the room we got. The bed was broken in the middle, making it impossible to sleep comfortably—not that we got any sleep anyway, thanks to what happened next.Around 1 AM, a man upstairs started screaming like a lunatic. He kept this up for over two hours, banging on doors as if he was trying to break in. It was absolutely terrifying. I didn’t dare to leave my room because I didn’t feel safe. The lights in the building kept going on and off, doors slammed repeatedly, and the whole situation felt completely out of control. At 3 AM, I was seriously considering leaving for a hotel instead.When we informed the hosts, their response was far from reassuring. If you're looking for a safe and peaceful stay where you actually get what you booked, stay far away from this place.

  Charming but noisy

  26 Aug 2024

  Very good location, right in the old part of Lisbon. The famous train is just around the corner. Well organised and clean. The only downside is that it is very noisy at night because of the club nearby. At around 6am the rubbish collectors come to collect the rubbish which is right next to the room. You can't sleep...

  Nothing like the photos.

  11 Feb 2024

  One of the worst places I have ever stayed and this is taking into account the cheap price. The photos made it look good but it really wasn't. Nothing was right. Toilet seat was loose. Shower was fine for very small people. Bed was not flat. TV remote control needs fixing.

  HORRIBLE STAY

  03 Sept 2022

  I am EXTREMELY disappointed in our stay at the Lisbon Inn Bica suites…1) when we booked in May, they stated we could drop off our luggage before check in and even went as far as to say they may have a room ready for us… this week, they told us they could only take out luggage at check-in time at 2pm or leave our bags unattended in a hallway as they no longer have a front desk.2) Google and multiple travel websites led us to believe there was a breakfast… there was not.3) The air conditioning only blew out hot air. And they must know about the malfunctioning AC as we found 2 fans in the room that we had to use to get any sleep, it was hot in the room and they only provided us with a thick blanket, no thin sheet.4) The booking said we’d get a room, turned out to be a tiny appartement, right off a busy walkway with lots of people at all hours of the day and night. The vents in the door let all the noise in and kept us awake.5) probably the worst thing of all… Cockroaches (we managed to kill one and send pictures to booking .com who we booked through) we later found pest control devices under the bed, which leads me to believe cockroaches is a known problem.
