Family Macedo B&B

Nice spacious clean rooms with antique furniture, the owner/manager is very nice, he helped with the bags and even gave me a ride to the airport.

Great location in Lisbon near major street that leads down to heart of historical area, ocean, etc. and walkable in 10-20 minutes. Also near metro stops, groceries, restaurants, and money exchange site. Older building, so stairs sort of a pain to deal with, but nice bedroom, shared bathroom, and great kitchen and dining areas. Many keys needed to enter bldg, floor, and room, and while sort of annoying, at least facility felt very secure. Great hosts and cleaning crew with suggestions as to what to see in Lisbon.

Very friendly and helpful host.

The weather was rainy my husband was sick

The Family Maceto is run by its owner Antonio. Antonio is very helpful and has good information about the city. There are no private bathrooms but the two bathrooms are being kept very clean at all times and are conveniently located. There is a kitchen available for general use and the basics, bread, butter, coffee and marmalade are provided for all the guests.The room was comfortable and although it was on the street side, noise of the street did not bother us and was not disturbing. The place is located close to the subway and other public transportation and also within walking distance (20 minutes or so) to some of the interesting sights in Lisbon. One can find a supermarket and several decent restaurant in the direct neighborhood. Overall I would say that this is a nice basic place.

Hostess was most helpful throughout the stay. She gave us detailed and helpful information as to what to see and how to get around the city. Garage parking was available. One block from subway and from tram line. Rooms were furnished with very nice, antique furniture.

I’ve used Hotels.com for years, and have always had great experiences, and written good reviews -not so this time. I was there for five nights with a friend. Our first “oh no” was during check-in. We felt practically held hostage in the little office while the manager(owner??) talked on and on for almost an hour, often putting down Americans for their habits and food choices. Not quite the welcome we hoped for. We always tried to be quiet in the hallway walking by his office, hoping that he wouldn’t come out and start talking on and on again. The facility was ok, clean enough. One issue was that there was only one hair dryer for the whole place. It was never available -we went for days not being able to locate it, and just skipped washing our hair. Not a good feeling. The internet did not work at all in our room - we spent hours standing in the hallway at all hours, waving our phones in the air trying to get a connection. Not good for trying to do our travel research, or communicate with friends/ family back in the US. On the last full day, a fuse was blown and the electricity went out as we were all getting up and ready for the day. I chatted with a gal on hotels.com who said he was on his way to check it out - but we found out later that he was a few hundred km away... the girl in charge was yelling at him on the phone -it was chaotic and not pleasant for us. Would never stay there again, or recommend.

Overall we were very disappointed because the bed was horrible! The bed was very very hard and small. I suspect that it is antique, like all the rest of the furniture, but I could barely sleep and got horrible neck pain. It was difficult to tell if the shared bathrooms were clean as they were old and needed a bit of updating. Breakfast is not actually served, but some milk bread and Jam were left in the kitchen. The owner is very nice and helpful. The parking was also very convenient! Also note only one room has air conditioning so you will need to request that room if you like air conditioning.

Real Lisbon and the rooms are so well kept with fab antiques-amazing .The staff couldnt have been more helpful .

Enjoyed my stay. Convenient location. Owner very helpful. Parking available on property.
