The Editory Riverside Hotel, an Historic Hotel

The hotel is only 10-15 minutes walk from the main square of Lisbon, which is ideal! The room was always clean and fresh towels everyday, also we got a free room upgraded which was amazing. The beds were comfortable, the shower pressure was great. Hotel staff were very polite and friendly, we were able to get in the room early. Plus, it was for my boyfriend’s 30th and the stay overall was a good experience.

The room I was upgraded to had lovely river views. The cruise ships do spoil it whenever docked but still a good view if lucky enough to be in a room located where the view is not completely obstructed. I like that I could control the lighting. The shower and toilet were separate cubicle rooms which can be convenient.The toilet came with a bum gun which is a HUGE plus. I appreciate that the water provided is a 1L glass bottle, not always the case in other hotels. The phone is an old style rotary phone which is a cool touch and keeping in theme with the hotel and it's origins. Breakfast buffet is standard but limited when compared to other 5* hotels. There is not enough options with those who have specific dietary needs. Checkout at 12pm. The extra hour always helps. Great location to explore from especially with being located inside a train station.

Great location. We arrived by train from Porto, the hotel is at the Apolonia train station. The station is also a terminus for the metro trains that take you into the main centre of Lisbon. Handy for restaurants behind the hotel in the old town. We loved the interior design of the hotel based on art deco theme. Staff were great, throughout our stay, and that continued after our return. I lost my phone in the taxi to the airport, reception were excellent in helping retrieve it and getting it sent home.

From the moment we stepped into the Reception area for check in, to finally leaving, all the Hotel Staff made us feel extremely welcome and at home during our stay. To celebrate our occasion, we recieved a complimentary upgrade from a Station View Double Room to a River View Double Room which was greatly appreciated. A member of Staff kindly took our luggage to our room and then accompanied us to show us to our room which was a nice touch. Our room was modern, clean and spacious enough for the 2 of us. There was a kettle, coffee machine, coffee pods etc. The TV had 4-5 English language channels which aired American TV shows & films. There were enough sockets and USB ports on either side of the bed for both of us. Upon request, an iron and ironing board was also provided. The shower in our room was seperate to the toilet. The mini bar in the room was complimentary which again was a nice touch from the hotel. Our room was made up everyday. Towels and toiletries were replenished along with the complementary bottle of water. We loved the early 1900’s chic theme that ran throughout the hotel. It was classic, old school but modern all at the same time. Personally, we didn’t hear any noises of the trains or metros in our room during our stay. Check out was at 12pm which I feel is very reasonable. Our return flight wasn’t till later on in the evening therefore the hotel kindly stored our luggage. We were free to use the washroom facilities on the first floor throughout the day and I must say they were really clean. From our personal experience we could tell the Hotel prides itself on high levels of cleanliness. The strategic location of this hotel within a Train/Metro Station means that you can explore all areas of Lisbon at ease using the Metro. If you are a walker then the Pantheon is only a 9 minute walk from the hotel. Praca do Comercio is a casual 17 minute walk along the river.

Great location almost in the train station, cool decor with lots of attention to detail in replicating the former building. Bar staff generally friendly and quickly rectified an issue before it became a complaint.
