Lisbon Story Guesthouse?

We're starting to get serious about planning for our September travel, which will include the RSE Best of Portugal tour. We're planning on arriving in Lisbon 3 or 4 days before the tour begins, and are looking for a hotel, preferably something a bit cozier and less expensive than the tour hotel, which is MyStory Hotel Tejo.

I've found a couple candidates while perusing hotels.com, and the Lisbon Story Guesthouse seems like our kind of place. Has anyone stayed there? Or does anyone have a favorite smaller hotel in the old town?

Thanks.

I will be visiting Lisbon for the first time in October and was very happy to find so many reasonably priced hotels and other places with high reviews.

The hotel that I booked is : Be Poet Baixa Hotel

It has very high reviews. I booked it through booking.com.

You can use booking for research and reviews as well as booking.

UPDATE: I went to booking and checked out your hotel. It gets a rating of about 8.2 on booking. It is about $200 less than the hotel I have booked. I may be booking a room a Lisbon Story Guesthouse.

By the way, did you see R S's Portugal on his Celebration of Europe. I suggest that you watch it. Do not watch it hungry.

Thanks, bostonphil7. Yes, we will definitely be watching the Portugal segment!

I will take a look at the hotel you mentioned, as well. Thanks.

Edit to add: I just checked out the Be Poet Baixa, and you're right; it is lovely. Thank you.

I'm not booking yet; I'll probably wait until next week to get in touch with various hotels that look promising.

We stayed at BePoet hotel in Lisbon after Heart of Portugal tour last fall. It is centrally located in Baixa area. Price was very reasonable, room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. The staff was amazing! Plus it’s an easy walk (in my opinion) to the MyStory Tejo hotel for the start of the RS tour.

I just booked the Be Poet; I liked the looks of the Lisbon Story, but it didn't show any rooms available for my dates. I may wait a couple of weeks and try again, or just stick with Be Poet.

Thanks everyone.
