Crónicas de Lisboa

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, has a rich history dating back to the Phoenicians in 1200 BC. The city's strategic location on the Tagus River made it an attractive spot for various invaders and settlers, including the Moors, who left a lasting mark on the city's architecture. The 1755 earthquake devastated Lisbon, leading to a period of Baroque reconstruction, resulting in the stunning Pombaline Mansions that still dominate the city's skyline. Today, Lisbon is a vibrant cultural hub, known for its Fado music, traditional custard tarts, and picturesque trams. The city's historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of visitors each year.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to SANA Rex Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (6 or above) due to the hotel's location on a busy street, Rua Castilho. This will help minimize potential street noise from the nearby traffic. Additionally, given the hotel's 3-star rating and relatively simple floor layout, rooms on the upper floors may have more consistent room sizes and fewer surprises. Consider rooms 601-608 for potentially better views of the surrounding area.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Guests who are light sleepers may want to avoid rooms on lower floors (1-3) as they may be more prone to street noise from Rua Castilho.

🪟

Best views

Guests can expect views of the surrounding cityscape, with rooms on higher floors (6-8) offering better views of the rooftops and nearby buildings.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 4-5 are likely to be quieter, as they are not directly above or below the street level and are less likely to be disturbed by street noise.

🔊 Noise notes

The hotel is situated on a busy street in the city center, with potential noise from traffic, pedestrians, and nearby bars and restaurants.

Insider tips

If arriving by car, be aware that parking options in the immediate area are limited, and it may be necessary to park in a nearby public lot. Consider requesting the hotel's parking assistance to secure a spot. The hotel's check-in process is efficient, but guests may want to arrive early to ensure availability of rooms, especially during peak travel seasons.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
