The room was superb, the breakfast and the service was first class and the hotel decor was exquisite.

The location is ideal, the staff is super helpful and friendly, the rooms are lovely, the breakfast is excellent.

The hotel, the room, the service, the breakfast.

The best thing about the hotel must be their breakfast buffet.

Rooms were immaculate and luxurious, and breakfast was a much anticipated event for us each morning, as the food, variety, and service were exemplary.

The breakfast is sensational - so many hot and cold choices, plus the loveliest rice pudding I’ve ever had.

The breakfast was amazing and the staff was incredible.

The breakfast was incredible, one of the best I have ever seen in my world travels, and served from 7 to 11:30 so you can go early or sleep late.

We also greatly appreciated the wonderful breakfast every morning.

The included breakfast was outstanding and served until 11:30 am.

Excellent stay. We arrived very early am and were able to check in within the hour, after enjoying a delicious complimentary breakfast in the hotel (provided every morning.)

The inside of the hotel is beautiful and the gar and breakfast area were great.

Great location, easy access, great breakfast buffet.

Friendly staff, beautiful decor and a great breakfast.

The breakfast is served in a bright elegant room and is excellent with very attentive staff.

The breakfast each morning was fantastic.

Excellent personal service, great breakfast and a small surprise everyday in your room.

Also the breakfast is well taken care of.

The breakfast buffet was perfect and their service, remarkable and elegant.

Best place to stay when you're in Lisbon. A historic building with irs own soul :-)

A great stay at this magnificent classic hotel.

The hotel, located in a perfect area of Lisbon,  is a historical hotel.

If you enjoy traveling to well kept and maintained historical site, with an amazing team who only wants to make certain your experience is pleasant then you just found your home in Lisbon!

If you want historic, best location in the middle of everything, great views, great staff, this is the place.

The hotel is beautiful and historical, we had room 416 with a statue to the right of our window.

The location was perfect for visiting the sites of historic Lisbon.

This is a classy place and I'd recommend anyone going to Lisbon stay there.

The hotel was built in 1892 and is a classy looking older hotel.

The hotel is classic old school with beautiful areas to enjoy.

The hotel is extremely ornate and historical in design.

Apart from being a most elegant and historic hotel, with an impeccably professional and friendly staff and a top flight breakfast buffet, this classic luxury-beauty from 1892 - ideally positioned slam in the middle of everything the city has to offer - has a really great ambience.

Perfect location, caring staff, personal service and classic old world European charm.

This hotel had all the classic charm supplemented with all the modern touches the traveller of today requires including lots of chargers and a fully charged no cost I phone in your room to take out and about with you if required.

The Avenida location within historic Lisbon is the best.

We chose Hotel Avenida Palace because we are very fond of historic hotels.

From the moment you walk through the doors everything is beautiful, the staff is courteous and caring, classic and charming hotel.

but also for its historical connections - you will be staying in a building which in its time has hosted not only the rich and famous but also Spies, secret agents, world celebrities, Royalty, and of course, Alves Reis, arch conman and brilliant criminal mind, who used the Palace bar as his office, ( do go for a look at his house, The Casa do Menhino D’Oro, The house of the golden boy, and then afterwards visit the home of Amalia Rodrigues, which is close by, Amalia’s pet parrot, Chico, will welcome you!)

One last thing, the breakfast buffet is extensive in a beautiful room overlooking a roundabout of the Main Street with a classic monument to view.

but comfortable). We enjoyed the evening piano music, classy service, exceptional breakfast (still dreaming of it, especially the smoked salmon and spinach/ham quiche!)

There was live evening music on the weekends too.

We enjoyed the bar every evening and the live piano music.

Piano recitals in the evening a nice touch.

In the evening between 7-8 there is a piano player in the lounge area where you can have cocktails and dinner.

The hotel is in the center of the city, it is clean, well designed and the night music is a great addition.

Staff were welcoming and helpful, the building is absolutely stunning, bar with live music (and well made cocktails)  in the evenings is a lovely touch and the location is very good for a wide number of hotels and tours.

Their bar has live piano music most nights.

Great location next to a metro station; free breakfast, upgraded to a suite upon arrival, music in the salon nightly, good drinks from the bar.

Our room was great, housekeeping was outstanding,and the bar downstairs was a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day, while listening to jazz or fado while sipping perfectly made drinks.

The staff were so attentive, from the front door to check in all very special, professional with old style grace, in the bar at the piano lounge, plus the cocktails were delicious 😁 and the breakfast experience was 2nd to none and I have been lucky to travel to and stay in some of the best hotels in the world.

We also enjoyed the live pianist each evening whilst having a drink in the bar.

The classical pianist playing the piano in the lounge everyday at 7:00 pm and the choice of a complimentary bottle of wine in our room.

At 7 pm each evening there is a 1 hour piano concert.

We wanted to spend more time enjoying the evening music in the stunning bar area, it's that nice.

Their cute bar is a good place for a pre- or post-dinner drink and had lovely music every day.

We enjoyed the tea service and the nighlty piano music.

At night we'd stop off at the lounge for drinks and live piano music.

The large, open lounge space is a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing to enjoy some music and a glass of wine.

Easy to walk anywhere and the train station is right next door, making an early morning trip to Sintra a breeze.

(try a day trip to Sintra if you have time).

Easy walking distance to many of the main attractions with  metro stops and Rossio train station from where you take the train to Sintra  right next door.

But you are literally next to the train station for Sintra and the bus stop and the Metro.

We loved the location in the old area of Lisbon which is perfect for a stroll through the town or a train to Sintra (a must see).

The Rossio train station is right next door so convenient for day trips to Sintra, etc.

Rooms are perfect and its right next to train station for your day trip to Sintra.

Right next door to train station to Sintra and metro.

The location next to the famous Rossio Station (for trains to Sintra) is perfect for touring Lisbon.

The concierges were especially helpful with all types of arrangements including our excellent day trip to Sintra.

In addition, the location is perfect for walking all neighborhoods as well as hitting Rossio station for a trip to Sintra.

Booked this hotel for summer holiday with family, beautiful looking hotel with great location and very friendly servers, the room is old school classy with comfortability, there is a train station next door provide easy access to nearby town like Sintra

It is in walking distance to the historical center, just few meters away from Rossio train station (trip to Sintra) and has a nearby metro station.

The location is perfect to tour Lisbon and to take the train to Sintra.

The hotel location can not be beat, it is immediately next to Rossio station which is the main gateway to Sintra.

It’s directly next door to the Rossio train station that goes to Sintra and a 1 minute walk from the Hard Rock Café and Restauradores square which is where many of the tour companies begin their tours.

It was so convenient to have a five minute walk to our Sintra/Cascais tour departure area at the Hard Rock Cafe.

The location is fantastic and minutes away from everything, including the metro and the Train station if you are planning on visiting Sintra (highly recommended).

We booked a small group trip to Sintra and had a great time.

The concierge service was really good, and they arranged a very nice trip to Queluz, Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais with a private driver.

The only minor negatives were the shower being on the small side and we had a couple days of missed turndown service.

The bad thing is the bathroom was so small and it's not advisable to open door widely because the toilet seat blocks it, a sliding door will be better option

but can’t recommend because of short-sighed corporate policy that requires that the totally unnecessary door in the tiny bathroom that is just always in the way (it HAS to be closed to sit on the toilet which means your significant other is trapped either in or out while you are sitting) HAS to remain in place and they would not remove it upon request even though there is already a door separating the bathroom from the bedroom in the small hall.

For a suite of that size, the bathroom was tiny, just filling some spare space between the two rooms.

Both times, they set up the kids' area in the cutest way, with tiny bathrobes and slippers for them!

It was joined by a dark corridor and had a tiny bathroom, with a shower that my husband could barely fit in.

The bathroom is small, Two people were hardly can use at same time.

It is a very old hotel so the rooms are small as are the bathrooms.

The bathrooms are small with limited shelf space.

Only real let down was the gym, just a couple of cardio machines in a small room.

Room was bight, however our standard room was a little small

Our room was a little small when you have 2 large suitcases and felt a bit cluttered.

The room was very small and so finding a place to put your luggage etc can be a. Challenge.

The table in the room was too small, so don’t plan on sitting and working while you on vacation 😊.

I was with a colleague and we booked 2 single rooms, the rooms were very small

I don't think rooms are 5 stars, a bit dated and our bathroom has a sewer gas smell for a few days.

My wife suffers from severe mold allergies.

but it is old so the rooms have that wet mildew smell.

but upstairs it’s musty and very dated.

There was a very bad sewage smell coming from the bathroom especially in the morning.

We left them in the room when we went out for the day around 10am and they came back around 4pm the same day, folded immaculately in a nice wicker basket and smelling fresh.

The sheets smelled dusty as if the bed had not been used in a while.

Well after that I must say the place was so dated and musty.

But it’s not cold cereal and stale pastries.

Only issue was a slightly musty smell - hotel staff advised and said would be looked into.

The shower/tub grout was covered with mildew.

but then I check out the night and I stumble across the lobby smelling of tobacco and the officials smoking it inside totally a lack of respect as I remember at check in saying it was forbidden .

The lobby had delish complimentary treats, and the staff was so hospitable.

The additional services provided like breakfast, happy hour, free midnight snacks, gym, spa services, and walking tour make the stay just that much better!

All of the staff at the restaurant and bar were wonderful - we had breakfast there most days, and dinner there once and the food was delicious.

Our dinners were great and the breakfast was worth waking up for!

The breakfast was one of the best I have had ever the service was five star- I couldn’t recommend this place enough - Miguel the tour lead for the city was great so nice and helpfuk and gave a nice tour of the city- we will definitely stay here again in the future

These include candy jars, pastries, dried fruit, flavored waters, juices, bottled waters, coffee, and a self-dispensing ice cream machine! Delicious!

We enjoyed the restaurant for breakfast each day (ala carte) and had dinner there one night as well.

The breakfast at the Hotel restaurant is super nice, really excellent service and good quality food.

He recommended me the most delicious lamb chops I have ever eaten.

The breakfast was amazing, and the walking tours were fun and informative.

Evening tastings, complementary breakfast, and midnight snacks rounded the excellent service the hotel provided.

The warm staff, beautiful room, wonderful breakfast, convenient location and rich history of the hotel made this trip so memorable.

but the bartender was great and recommended some really unique and delicious cocktails - it’s definitely not your average hotel bar!

Breakfast is À la Carte and so make allowance to spend 45 minutes then.

Delicious daily breakfast was included and it's not a buffet.

The historical walking tour with Sergio on our first day was a highlight and helped us get our bearings in the city.

I recommend a higher floor to get the best possible views of this historic, charming, and beautiful walking city!

Amazing historical items found when the hotel was built scattered throughout hotel.

I was deeply impressed by my guide Miguel, a very nice young man who introduced in details about the historical spots to us the guests, and answered us questions patiently as well .

Also stumbled upon the historical site in the basement of the hotel, it was very interesting.

The Location was perfect close to everything the historical sites, bustling nightlife on pink street ,amazing food at the Time out market and the main town square.Our room 419 was superb very spacious comfortable and modern with some lovely views of lisbon streets.The complimentary mini bar and waters everyday were a nice touch.

Form the moment you arrive at this historic gem you feel warmly and genuinely welcomed by the staff.

Excellent morning walking tour with Ana  - relaxing walk up to the castle with lots of useful background and historical information.

Sergio covered the afternoon tour showing many of the historical shops along the way, adding interesting facts and stories.

You must do the walking tour with Ana, who is so knowledgeable and gives a fantastic overview of this historic city.

It is two hours in downtown with stops at landmarks, historic shops, and a church.

We loved her commentary, which included historical information,

He led us to some historic sites around Lisbon and gave us informative facts and useful information for our trip to Lisbon.

She was able to aquire Fado tickets at a wonderful historic venue with fabulous Fado musicians… a highlight of our time in Lisbon.

We arrived very early & checked our bags while we took a nap on the comfy couches on the historical 1st floor.

I truly enjoyed my time at Corpo Santo Lisbon Historical Hotel, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and historic stay in Lisbon.

We loved the historic location, and the amenities were more than we could have expected.

Who would think this is a historic hotel with “ruins” under the hotel!

Check in- smooth, easy and altho room not available - we napped in the historical lounge area in the lower level.

We explored all the historical places starting from the beach area through Cathedral, up to the top of the Castle.

Also - on top of this, basic issues like our door not locking, our shower flooding (neither of which were ever fixed) just made this a horribly disappointing stay.

Eduardo had a minor computer error fixed immediately.

A minor issue with the shower was fixed almost immediately.

but Leticia on reception was an absolute star - she answered our endless queries with patience and enthusiasm and she even ran after us out of the front door on one day to make sure her recommendation had been okay and that a minor issue in the room had been fixed.

I notified the front desk and they supposedly asked maintenance to fix our problems,

The first floor corridors continually smell of sewerage, indicating a pipework problem which they are clearly unwilling to fix.

I ask the staff three times if they could fix the issue.

buttons - there are some cool effects to enjoy - which we did have to report a couple of times before it got fixed and therefore took a couple of days to get sorted - but sorted it was and it wasn’t an urgent problem!

The hotel staff promptly gave us keys to a room just one floor up for the night so we could sleep there until the issue was fixed.

Two lights in our bedroom were not working, and I mentioned this to reception, by the time we got back to our room after a short walk, they were fixed.

but they fixed it and checked twice to see it stayed fixed. 3.

There are a few things they could do better, most of which may be easy to fix.

so then WHY didn't you fix that problem before you put another guest in that room???

They do lovely touches have an ice cream machine in reception and snacks which were welcomed after a long drive from Spain.

The lobby is always filled with snacks and an ice cream machine.

The ice cream machine in the lobby - really hit the spot!

They serve all day food including snacks, ice cream, bread, desserts and so on for free.

Tour of the room with shower sound system, welcome basket with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, 20min free massage, 24-hour snacks and ice cream in the lobby, two daily free walking tours of the city, complimentary mini bar, and even a pillow menu!

The ice cream machine serves site-made softserve that will ruin your appetite for the typical machine made versions.

The hotel has many services such as breakfast, massage, room service, free ice cream, free walking tour and more.

Touches such as complimentary snacks and candy in the lobby, a 24 hour ice cream machine, just added to the experience.

They have a snack of the day, a midnight snack, ice cream and water bottles for free  in the lobby daily.

There's even a soft serve ice cream machine!

We loved the unique amenities of the property - soft serve ice cream in the lobby, daily happy hour, walking tours, to name a few!

in the lobby, they have soft serve ice cream (they call it "emergency ice cream, and there's a room in the lower level called The Living Room - there are certified Roman ruins to explore.

There is a table in the lobby loaded with snacks and treats 24/7, coffee, water, and an “Ice Cream Emergency” bar.

The receptionist poured us some lovely ice cream from the complimentary ice cream machine(it’s there 24hours) before showing us to our room.

-let me say my motto is “eat dessert first” and the 24-hour ice cream with homemade granola & the candy / sweets table was a dream!

The lobby had an “emergency ice cream dispenser”!

Free icecream, midnight snacks, walking tours and 20 minute massage!

Free midnight snacks, free ice cream, surprise sandwiches & excellent bedding

The hallways leading up to the room are old, tired (stains on carpet flooring), and just outdated.

however, mention a few nit-picky things for anyone who’s super discerning—there was a stain on our room carpeting that drove me a little crazy.

although I felt the hotel was well kept and I’m sure the carpets are cleaned regularly, the stains from wear and tear can be a bit off putting.

There were a couple of small stains that look like red wine in our room carpet that I mention only because it was the only thing that kept our room from being total perfection.

Only one minor quibble was stains on the carpet, which probably is difficult for any property to stay on top of,

Ana led  the complimentary Lisbon Walking Tour.

I took one of the free walk tours and Nuno was so knowledgeable, explaining so much of the history of the places we went to.

The hotel also offers free walking tours.

Free walking tours TWICE a day (10:30 am & 6:30 pm).

This review is specifically for the walking tour conducted by Sergio.

From the complimentary city walking tours to the complimentary 20 min spa massage, they go above and beyond to assure you the best possible experience.

We really enjoyed our morning walking tour with Sergio.

The hotel is in a perfect location for the local attractions and they offer a walking tour twice a day.

The employees lead complimentary walking tours.

You can join the free walking tour in the morning, in which the hotel staff as guide will tell you stories about the history of Lisbon.

The hotel provide twice daily walking tours too which is a really good idea.

Do not miss the complementary walking tours offered by the same staff that checks you in.

Especially we had a great walking tour with Miguel.

*Walking Tour: offered 2x a day (10:30am and 4pm), each one covering a different section.

We did both of the free walking tours with Ana and it was such a helpful way to get to know the city.
