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.”

Charming Stay Near the Castle!
helpful staffphone chargerarray of optionssteep slope
The staff members were friendly and always ready to help! I found a wireless phone charger, a multi-zone power adapter, and bathrobes in my room. Breakfast offered an amazing array of options. they make snacks and drinks available throughout the day!
The hotel location proved very difficult due to steep slopes and cobblestones! It was hard to get taxis to come all the way up. I wish the hotel had made this clearer beforehand.

this hotel is great cause it is right in the castle! there are peacocks everywhere, it's a plus. the staff were amazing, so kind, helpful, and responsive. it was an awesome experience.
the location very difficult for anyone with a disability, it is a hike. taxis flatly refuse to drive up to it. forty five degree slopes up wet, loose cobbles definitely not one for anyone with a heart problem.
