La propiedad — Casa do Presidente
Casa do Presidente is a modest three-star in central Lisbon, occupying a restored 18th-century townhouse with clean white walls, wooden floors, and small but efficient rooms. Its lobby feels like a quiet, sunlit parlour — tiled floor, a few chairs, and the scent of fresh pastries at breakfast. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a solid base near Avenida da Liberdade without pretence. There's no pool or frills, just prompt service and a decent buffet.
Crónicas de Lisbon
Lisbon has been a port city since Phoenician times, but its golden age came in the Age of Discovery, when Vasco da Gama and others sailed from its shores. The 1755 earthquake levelled much of the city, which was then rebuilt in the orderly, neoclassical Baixa Pombalina grid. Today, Lisbon balances historic tiled facades with a growing tech and startup scene, while its hills, fado music, and pastel de nata define its contemporary charm.

La temporada del hombro
March–April and October–November: cheaper rooms, milder 15-20°C weather, fewer tourists. Great for sightseeing without queues.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa do Presidente, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor (the highest floors, above street-level noise) and facing the interior courtyard. These are likely quieter and brighter given the building's typical Lisbon layout.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the 1st floor (direct street level noise, possible lift proximity) and those facing the main road – Lisbon traffic can be persistent, even on secondary streets.
Best views
Rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor with a front-facing window (if available) give a decent urban view – typical Lisbon rooftops and possibly a glimpse of the river. Rear courtyard views are quieter but less scenic.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors (top floors, furthest from street and lift mechanics).
🔊 Noise notes
Lisbon's street noise is a factor, especially on lower floors. Expect some traffic hum from the main roads nearby (likely Rua do Ouro or parallel streets). The lift is audible from adjacent rooms, so avoid rooms ending in 01 or 02 (often nearest the lift).
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, pre-book a spot in the nearby public garage (Parking Praça do Comércio or Campo das Cebolas) – street parking is scarce and expensive. 2. Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor and specify 'quiet side, away from lift' – this is the single best way to improve your stay at this hotel.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Start at Miradouro das Portas do Sol just before sunset for golden light on the rooftops. Avoid the tram 28 route for quieter streets.
💡 Start at the top (Graça) and walk downhill to avoid steep climbs. Best in early morning for fewer crowds.
💡 Skip the paid museum upstairs unless you're keen on religious art. The church itself is free and the main attraction.
💡 Start at the cathedral and walk uphill towards the castle. The best views are free. Avoid trams 12 and 28 at peak times; locals hate the crowds.
💡 Get a super bock from the bar across the street—it's half the price of the kiosk. Bring a blanket as the pavement gets cold by night.
💡 The greenhouse has a small tropical garden and café — cheap coffee and a quiet spot. The park is breezy, so bring a jacket even in summer.
💡 Free entry weekends. Bring a book for the bench under the giant rubber tree at the far end. Closed for lunch (1pm-2pm).
