Brown's DownTown - Lisboa

Hadde bestilt rom med utsikt til gaten, fikk et med vindu ut til en sjakt. Luktet kloakk på badet, senger og puter var harde, og det var lytt på rommene. Hele kjøleskapet fungerte som fryser , vannet var frosset til is i løpet av noen timer. Betjeningen veldig hyggelig og hotellet lå veldig sentralt.

Vi booket dette hotellet fordi vi fikk en veldig god deal de 4 dagene vi skulle være der, men hadde nok neppe betalt det de skulle ha i full pris. Hotellet ligger veldig gunstig til midt i Lisboa, i gå-avstand til shopping-strøk og severdigheter. Som de markedsfører seg med, er dette et design-hotell, noe man får inntrykk av med en gang man kommer inn […] i lobbyen (med gratis espresso-maskin)- rett og slett veldig fresht. Rommet var fint, med egen ipad og mac (men alvorlig talt; hvem vil sitte ved en data-maskin på Lisboa-ferien sin? Den ble aldri skrudd på...). Badet var i minste laget, og dusjen litt lite praktisk- det var vann på HELE gulvet etter en kort dusj. Det er også et lite kjøkken der med kjøleskap, komfyr og vask. Veldig fint, men igjen: hvem vil stå og lage mat på ferien sin, når man kan få et måltid til 3-4 euro rett utenfor hotellet? Sånn lyd-messig hører man veldig lite fra trafikken fra gata, men det er ganske lydt mellom rommene (hver morgen våknet jeg opp i skrekk da jeg trodde noen låste seg inn i rommet- det viste seg at det var naboen som låste seg ut av sitt rom...). De ansatte på hotellet er kjempehyggelige og service-innstilte, og tok seg alltid tid til å hjelpe til med å finne ut hvor ting var. Alt i alt et bra hotell hvis du vil ha luksus-følelsen på ferie, og er villig til å betale litt ekstra for det. Les mer

Veldig fornøyd med hotellet. Lite, men vekdig bra utstyrt rom. Bra beliggenhet i forhold til mange av de tingene vi søkte etter.

Bra service. Sentral plassering midt i byen men alikevel rolig gate. Flott med iPad og Mac på rommet.

Vi havnet i øverste etasje og fikk et av de største rommene. Brown's er et designhotell, jeg siklet meg forbi alle de lekre møblene. Imac'en som sto på hotellrommet ble også brukt! Hotellet ligger også perfekt til, midt i sentrum. Veldig hyggelig personale. (ja, dette var skamløs ros, men det er sant).

Hotellet har fin beliggenhet og har et moderne interiør. Pc på alle rom har jeg ikke sett på noe hotell tidligere. Personalet var veldig behjelpelig med både å finne gode restauranter, bestilling av drosjer og klarte t.o.m. å få tilbake en mobil mistet i en drosje. Ingen matservering på hotellet, men frokostbar noen m fra hotellet fungerte fint. Vannkoker […] på rommet gjorde det mulig med en kaffekopp. Bra! Les mer

Walking into Brown, was like home away from home. Each hotel has a Mac and an ipad for your use. In addition, you have a small kitchen area for a longer stay. Closest train station can get you to the airport, train or bus station. Close to the Barrio neighborhood and major sites to see. Have stayed here twice so far. Plenty of channels to watch. Cons: […] Street is a bit desolate at night. Les mer

The hotel was fabulous, rooms with mini-kitchenette greatly appreciated. We had a very time sensitive, difficult issue that needed to be resolved in Lisbon and the staff was extremely responsive to my slew of requests for help beginning well in advance of our two night stay. We are so greatful, especially to Duarte and Ava, for the exempliary assistance […] which enabled us to make the very most of our short stay in lovely Lisbon Les mer

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! Great location and close to all major sight seeing. The rooms was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We had some minor issue with the toilet, as there was a certain odor coming out of the toilet but nothing big. Right next to the hotel is a very small restaurant that has GREAT local food. It is not touristy […] but the food is great. Les mer

Great modern boutique hotel in the heart of Lisbon. Everything from the staff to room was exceptional. The only down side is the walls are a bit thin.

Virkelige gjesteanmeldelser

Great hotel, really friendly staff - room was excellent. We ate out whilst there but there is actually a small kitchen in the room so you could be a lot more self-sufficient. We stayed in the "suite" room 501 I think - stunning room but i have a few minor gripes; 1) Double bed is actually 2 single mattresses 2) Shower was amazing but leaked really, […] really badly (even with door fully shut) 3) Quite a lot of the lights didnt work - but room was so bright it didn't really matter (only in eve or when In the shower) Nonetheless a great room and hotel and will definitely recommend to anyone i know going to Lisbon and I would certainly stay there if in Lisbon again.

Brown´s Downtown, and especially the staff, are top-notch. My grumble, though, is with the current generation of so-called ``modern´´ hotel interior designers. I swear, not a one of them has ever stayed in a room of their design, used the bathroom fully or worked in housekeeping and had to clean and ready a room and bath. In this case, it is impossible […] to take a shower without water eventually covering the bathroom floor. It is nearly impossible to adjust the water in the shower without first getting a head-drenching of cold water. There is a mirror covering one complete wall, but essentially no shelf space for a woman´s make-up kit and-or a guy´s shaving gear. I´ve seen this same poor design all over Europe and in Latin American in the past couple of years. Frustrating in an otherwise fine hotel. Les mer

Very nice modern hotel in the center of town. Computer in the room along with an iPad if you don't bring your own. WiFi was great. Parking only on the street which can be scarce or in the very expensive (€35 for 24hrs) public lot a short 5 minute walk away. We enjoyed the comfort and style of our room. The hotel staff was somewhat helpful but not all […] that friendly. We got an amazing deal thru Hotels.com and would stay there again for sure. Les mer

We loved this cute little hotel. Good location, a short walk from the shopping,dining neighborhoods. We really liked the modern decor in the lobby and the room. An iMac and iPad were available in the room (although the iPad didn't work - still cool that it was available). Only downside was that there was some temperature problems in the room.

First the position of the hotel is brilliant for visiting Lisbon. Everything easy walking distance. Problem is the hotel markets itself as a funky designer place, at the expense of simple practical requirements of a hotel. Our room was perhaps especially bad but some of the concerns would apply to all. Air conditioning. The statement implies that the […] air is conditioned. But on the last night of our stay the so called air con was only pushing out hot air despite the room being hot! Thermostat made no difference. Talk to staff and was told they had just switched the air con from cool to heat as someone had complained about the lack of heat (it was still 18C so not that cold!). Now that is not air con. As our room only had windows onto an internal atrium, even with these wide open there was no cooling breeze. Shower. This leaked vast amounts of water over the floor and the staff said that this was a problem for all rooms. Funky design V practicality. We used a face cloth to stop the worst, but the next day these were not replaced. Musty. The sink had a distinct musty aroma coming from the drain that was somewhat off putting. Sink design. Small funky and flat. So (A) nowhere to put stuff and (B) water stayed on the surface rather than draining. Lighting. Not enough – funky design v practicality On the plus side the iPad+Mac were great. The staff were friendly but seemed unable to solve the issues when raised. Management need to fix the few designer issues to be a great hotel. Les mer

The hotel is in a very convient location. The only thing I didn't like is you have to be in your room to have the electricity to be active. I left the piece from my key to keep the power running, but the maid took it when she cleaned the room, and I had to go to reception to claim it back. I would stay here again.

Having worked in Rua Augusta many years ago, it's great to find a hotel in the heart of Lisboa, within walking distance of the main shopping, entertainment and tourist areas. Also 10mins stroll to cais do sodre, perfect for train connections up the coast to Estoril/Cascais. Small room was.... Small. But enough room to walk around double bed, so fine […] for crashing out. Style and gadgets were great and staff very pleasant. Only negative comment is that aircon and plumbing was quite noisey between rooms. Rule of thumb - avoid cafes/restaurants on Rua Augusta and main squares - service is average and prices are high. Go a few streets back and pick one of these. Restaurant Palmeira (left of Baixa metro arch entrance) serves typical food, or if thirsty, great cold beer for a fraction of the price. Les mer

What a great little boutique hotel! The area couldn't be more perfect for touring around Lisbon. The staff was extremely friendly, and they even made a reservation for us for dinner. The design details of the room were awesome- from the fresh flowers to the computer. I loved stepping out onto the balcony and watching the street action below. The kitchenette […] was great as well. Although we didn't use it, I'm sure we would've if our stay was longer. The only negative I might say about our particular room was that it was a small space and we had two very large suitcases. Of course we managed to make it work, but we were stepping over things most of the time. Additionally, the shower leaked on the floor each time of use. Really though, no big deal. Les mer

Location is ideal, only moments from the metro, cafes, main avenues and tram stop. The hotel is on a side street... would i have walked home alone? No, i wouldnt. Even with my husband, i felt a little uneasy. Lots of drug dealers around the surrounding area too. We were met with a very friendly and helpful manner and the check in was hassle free. Overall […] the condition of the hotel was fine, stay for only one night and you might not notice the wee things. Dirty walls, less than perfect paint work, the shower door doesnt close soaking the bathroom, nowhere put anything more than a toothbrush. No soap at the sink, unless you use the shower gel. A strip broke off the windows and a light fell off the wall within the first day. We slept well.... apart from the 1am awakening every night by the bin lorry doing the nightly rubbish collection in the street below. We were on the 6th floor, so found the climb in 42oC heat tough when the lift broke. TV was huge, but channels are very limited to BBC World News and similar. Great view out the 6th floor window. Small kitchen was handy. Staff pointed us in the direction of Sacramento for dinner, which was fantastic. We were in the largest room, 602 (which sleeps 2) there were 10 seats/stools PLUS the bed. The room was so packed with various chairs and tables, we kept bumping our heads on the roof!! Although the chairs were lovely, there really is no need for so many at the expense of space!! Is it worth the rack rate? No. Les mer

The hotel is situated in a really convienient central location, surrounded by the shops & restaurants of Baixa and close to all public transport. Although busy during the day, the area becomes much quieter at night. It is only a short walk though through Chiado and on to the bars of Bairro Alto. The hotel itself has a modern, contemporary feel. The […] rooms are stylishly decorated and come equped with Mac & ipod docking station. The rooms are on the small size (mine was described as a medium and was only just big enough). The bathroom was compact and contains a shower only. My room was equipped with a small kitchenette (fridge, kettle, hotplate). It would have been nice touch if this was stocked with a few basics (tea, coffee, sugar, salt etc.) for those wanting to use the facilities. The bed was actually two singles pushed together rather than a double. I found this to be really uncomfortable and was quite disappointing. I also found that the hotel itself was very noisy. There was a lot of sound transfer from other rooms and the cleaners appeared to have a habit of slamming doors in the morning. This spoilt the stay slightly. Les mer

The hotel was like a loft in NY, I loved it! It was close to everything, in a quiet street just feet away from cafes, restaurants, monuments, buses and trams, trains, and shopping. The staff was wonderful and gave me great suggestions for outings to include a beautiful nearby city Sintra- a must see while there. Although there is no breakfast there […] is a free coffee/hot chocolate machine in the relaxing lobby and every room has a kitchenette which i found adequate for my meals. A tv, in room free wifi, in room apple computer, mood lights, it was wonderful and relaxing. The only downside I have is that the bathroom had a light sewery smell sometimes but did not effect the room or shower, and the bed a little hard but the pillows big and fluffy :) Les mer
