I have stayed one night on a business trip, preferring smaller hotels with character I have booked the LX boutique. The hotel is a refurbished old style Lisbon town house, the décor is really pretty and quirky. Before you even get to the reception for check in, you can grab yourself shot of port wine and traditional custard tart, at the reception you will be greeted by young but efficient staff with huge smile on their faces. Once you get to your room, you will wonder about your bathroom - pretty cool with all the glass and ship like style. The room décor is crispy clean and modern but set into the historic house. Bed is comfy, pillows little soft for the British but with plenty on bed you won't suffer. The hotel has complimentary 3piece sushi and glass of wine in its hotel restaurant, this was nice touch before dinner for which we decided to go for traditional Portuguese cuisine outside of the hotel. The location is superb, you are by the river, the nearest metro station is 150 m away to take you anywhere in the town, tram stop is stone throw from the door step, taxis are super cheap. Right next to the hotel there is the party street of Lisbon where I recommend you go for the night cap (or two) - the street noise was however not audible to the room. I have been thoroughly satisfied with the choice of hotel (and I have stayed in other boutique hotels in Lisbon) - will definitely be coming back for my private and business visits.

A beautiful room. The bathroom was cool but not very practical (water flowing from shower across the room due to uneven floor). Excellent service at the reception. I would book it again. Best regards, Thomas Studer

I was decidedly underwhelmed with the hotel. Staff are mostly friendly, although the bar staff was not very helpful, and the room was clean, pretty and the bed was excellent. However, for the price I did not expect such a tiny room, with not even a chair, a desk or, most annoyingly, not even a cupboard, with my clothes hanging next to the TV on the wall (a TV that was not working properly, by the way). There was lots of road work going on, and the night life was loud at night, but with windows closed there was no problem with the noise.
