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!)

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.

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!)

The marble corner moldings in the bathroom attest to that

I particularly marveled at the marble staircase that winds its way from ground floor to ceiling.

This hotel is elegant with a sweeping marble staircase leading to regal rooms (there’s an elevator too!).

As an example, our bathrooms (yes, there were two) were marble

The rooms were large and the bathrooms had marble countertops with a tub/shower and a separate toilet.

The bathroom was marble- - old elegance and  clean with a large tub and excellent pressure in the shower.

The bathroom looked original with marble floor and vanity top and everything was immaculate, in perfect repair and in good working order.

but not least, we received a room upgrade to a suite which was one of the lovliest we have had the pleasure of staying in--beautiful to the last detail, even a pink marble bathroom.

I explored the hotel a bit and was delighted by the elegance of each floor's sitting area, the beautiful marble spiral staircase, and just the joy of being in this hotel.

The lobbies are very traditional, with marble, elegant drapes and furnishings, and crystal chandeliers.

The bedroom was large and very comfortable; the marble bathroom had everything you needed.

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.

The rooms were brilliantly looked after and the little gifts we were left every day were an awesome touch, they made all the difference!

We arrived mid- morning and were put immediately in a upgraded room.

The superior room is gorgeous, very big and tastefully decorated.

The room was average size and the bathroom was clean and a good size.

They have tried to keep the hotel rooms up to modern standards

Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable.

But to our pleasant surprise not only were we able to get our room early they upgraded us because we had booked directly with them.

Great comfortable rooms, the stuff is going out of the way to be helpful.

It was such a pleasure to get little surprises each evening left in our room.

Our room was luxurious and had all the amenities we needed.

There were 6 of us traveling and they were able to accommodate our request to be close to each other and got 3 rooms in a row.

Great location, unexpected amenities, large room and extensive breakfast make this a wonderful choice in Lisbon.

The staff is fantastic from the front desk, room attendants and bar staff.

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 staff were attentive and friendly yet professional.

The staff went above and beyond in making our stay fabulous.

We had five glorious nights here and all the staff are amazing.

This hotel is very special, from the welcoming staff and professional service to the elegant decor and meticulous renovations preserving the antiquity with modern facilities.

The staff at the hotel were wonderful and went out of their way to ensure an enjoyable stay.

Everyone we met was friendly yet professional, and we were touched by the many small kindnesses we experienced during our stay.

The staff is very professional and helpful.

From the moment you enter the Hotel Avenida Palace you are welcomed by friendly very efficient staff who make your stay a pleasure.

The staff at the hotel were all very friendly and we had excellent service the entire stay.

Conceirge provided excellent recommendations for dinner.

The free breakfast was great and the view better, since the room was in the top of the arch by the Piazza della Reppublica.

The breakfast room is actually above the arch with lovely views.

You exit the building and immediately to the left is an amazing arch leading to the Piazza della Repubblica which is a great jump point to explore the entire city! !

Everything that we had hoped to find was still working perfectly, including, of course, the magnificent breakfast in the top floor of the arch that spans dramatically over the Via degli Strozzi.

And the Hotel Pendini sets in the arch overlooking the piazza!

Breakfast in the top of the triumphal arch of Piazza Republica looking out of the city towards the Tuscan hills and listening to the faint strains of opera classics. Beautiful

Beautiful old full of charm hotel, friendly helpful staff.Our room was huge with a view to the Piazza Della Repubblica Square under the arch.

Now, when we see pictures of the Pendini’s exterior, that arch will remind us of the pleasant breakfasts we enjoyed there.

A wonderful breakfast room where you are in the arch leading to the square.

The breakfast offered was very good - the usual selection of cold cuts/fruit, cereals,cakes and bacon/scrambled eggs as hot choice, and the breakfast room was in the arch entering the square (although the view was of the street leading into the piazza).

On the surface, Pendini is a great hotel - built into a beautiful arch on the Piazza, centrally located, decorated like something from the Renaissance, and with a lovely breakfast.

Breakfast was lovely, Italian opera on a loop with a nice little view, as the dining room is in “the arch”.

The breakfast room is stunning and located in the arch of the palazzo.

You will feel like you are staying right inside the arch of the piazza.

Beds were really snug and comfortable and impeccably clean The location was just fantastic with Breakfast room situated over an arch into one of the main squares.

We have just spent two wonderful nights in this gem of a hotel. Situated in a lovely old building ( the restaurant is in an arch connecting two sides of the street !)

Breakfast is served in a pretty room in an historic arch--unique--and the food is fresh and varied, served with a smile.

Breakfast was set in a lovely room over the arch and staff were very accommodating, providing me with soy milk and proper Italian coffee on request.

We couldn't get enough of the freshly baked pistachio croissants for breakfast each morning.

The room has a great view and breakfast was wonderful.

Our breakfast was fabulous-lots to choose from and delicious.

but quiet, comfortable and an amazing breakfast.

The breakfast was very good and the people who were working in the breakfast area were very nice and accommodating.

The choices of the breakfast are abundant.

Breakfast has a good variety and the the food is yummy.

Staff is very good and also breakfast was also having some good option.

We loved the breakfast every morning, and enjoyed the cappuccinos with the smiley faces.

Breakfast options great and the location amazing.

It is absolutely charming and cozy and the free breakfast is delicious.

Great hotel, wonderful breakfast, brilliant central location!

The rooms are well appointed and spacious, the breakfast was delicious, the location is ideal for being in the city center.

The rooms were comfortable and clean and the complimentary breakfasts were a great way to start the day!

The water pressure in the shower was a treat and the breakfast is fantastic.

Cozy , lovely hotel with a great breakfast.

The breakfast has something for everyone.

There was a wonderful variety of food for breakfast and the staff couldn’t be more lovely.

The cappuccinos with breakfast even had a foam smiley design.

Lovely decor with photos showcasing the history of the hotel with the history of the city.

The accommodations were very tasteful and elegant-simple in the room,

The antique furnishings and decor of the hotel are gorgeous.

Very handily located for the Duomo and historic sights - in a beautiful building and with a lovely traditional interior decor too.

The furnishings represent the history of the hotel.

Everything is quite up-to-date, yet it’s been around since 1879, developing character all the while.

The piazza where it is located is festive and lively all day.

The staff are helpful, patient and kind - from the staff at the front desk that provided me with an ice bag and ice for my swollen knee to the friendly staff in the breakfast room that made cappuccinos decorated with smiley faces.

Hotel Pendinis’ charm did not disappoint!

Located within steps of the Duomo, this historic hotel has been well maintained with lots of character and charm.

Our room was very comfortable and the sitting room down the hall from the front desk has an old world charm.

Hotel Pendini is centrally located and allowed for shopping, dining and museum visits within a very short walking distance.

Hotel Pendini is located in the heart of Florence with walking distance to every attraction in the city.

The property was in an amazing location, I couldn’t have asked for a better spot.
