"The hotel itself is beautiful, very retro (what I imagine 1920's glam style would be) above a centrally located train station and metro station."

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Editory Riverside Hotel provides spacious, naturally lit rooms, some featuring two separate sinks and in-room safes. Its location is ideal, integrated within the train station and close to the metro, with just a short walk to Placa Commercial and Alfama. The gym is well-equipped, including high-end cardio machines, while some guests have noted that minibar refills were not always daily. Despite being part of the station, many guests did not hear any train noise and found the location perfect for exploring.

Riverside Delight

friendly staff balcony view

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I particularly enjoyed the view from the balcony. It added a sense of peace to each day. The central location made exploring easy and the ease of access was a major plus. Breakfast was worth the extra cost, offering a perfect start to each adventure.

It created some noise, but overall it did not take away from the stay itself. I think with a bit more signage and planning, the hotel can make that process better.

The Double Room Balcony River View includes comfortable beds and fresh towels were available daily. The shower pressure was notably strong and the room was always in good condition. The balcony provides a nice space to enjoy the river view.

historic charm with modern comfort!!!

great location complimentary drinks comfortable bed

The location is superb, right by the train and metro station!!! i received complimentary drinks in the mini bar upon arrival and a free bottle of water daily. the room was always clean, and the bed was comfortable, i slept like a baby!!! i also appreciated the soundproofed windows. I didn't hear any noise from the station.

The surrounding streets felt a bit older. It wasn't the prettiest area right outside the hotel. i was a little surprised by this initially.

The hotel's location next to the train station was very convenient. It made travel simple. The staff were always friendly and helpful, . The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options.

The room felt a bit tired. It could use some updating. The bathroom was quite small. I didn't expect this.
