The hotel is located in an old convent, transformed into a hotel in 1890 by two ladies from Yorkshire, hence the name. Preserving the charm of these century old surroundings, particularly the lovely courtyard with its walls overgrown by vines, the hotel rooms are equipped with everything you would expect from a modern design hotel. The hotel is relatively small... More

This was a disapointing experience, as the hotel has some great reviews and beautiful photographs. We stayed in a very basic room at the front of the hotel, which was very noisy with the cars and late night revellers. The room had far too many cupboards and was a bit cramped. The telly was in front of the bed instead... More

York House was a wonderful place to stay for a weekend in Lisbon. It is a bit out of the centre but that just gives you an excuse to get to grips with the trams and buses which are frequent and efficient. The hotel staff were helpful with advice and information. We stayed in a (cheaper) unmodernised room which we... More

a very special place indeed for the special traveller.A former convent built into the city wall and terraced garden above the former docks. Its overall description is charm, wherever you look: alcoves and antiques blending perfectly into an elevated garden with huge centenary palmtrees. The service is attentive and very friendly. I can also recommend its restaurant. They serve exquisite... More

I did not find either of those to be a problem, but if walking up stairs is difficult for you, that's something you should consider. The... More

I read other reviews of the York House before my recent stay. It had been 35 years since I visited and I feared the hotel or neighborhood might have changed based on other reviews, but I needn't have worried. It was wonderful. Let's be clear. This is a 400 year old former convent that survived the quake of 1755. It... More

Very expensive for the value we get from this hotel. The recomendations we get weren't the best, they send us to expensive restaurants without quality

Stayed in late Oct for 2 nights based on location and other reviews. We were very disappointed. Hotel is a warren of dark windowless corridors painted black for some reason. Our room, one of the "classic" categories (least expensive), was in need of repainting, with doors that had to be forced closed due to warping. From the web photos it... More

I read about this hotel in a New York Times article and was excited to stay here. It definitely has some pros and cons. The courtyard is lovely and the look of the hotel overall is nice. But our room was a little shabby looking and in need of a coat of paint. The ottoman at the end of the... More
