It's 300 meters from St. George's Castle, 500 meters from Lisbon Cathedral, and 1 km from Rossio Square. The location is pedestrian-only, accessible via narrow cobblestone streets lined with flower pots and bird cages.

The hotel provides free Wi-Fi throughout, computer and printer access, and non-smoking interiors.

“Solar Do Castelo immediately impressed me as a true Alfama gem, set apart by its location within the medieval castle walls; the peacocks strolling the garden courtyard feel like a surreal privilege. The interior design merges contemporary style with historical accents, while the honesty bar adds a touch of intimate charm. It's a distinct and quietly remarkable stay.”
