I dig the lobby and the small, smart, well designed rooms remind me of some good boutique spots in New York and a little bit of the Ace hotel group in general, but... The room had a musty odor, the ac never got us cooler than warm, and our toilet was christened prior to our arrival. Even though the sterile... More

Brown's Downtown is a really nice place, that is doesn't need to try so hard to be hip. There isn't a lot of competition at prices like these in the heart of downtown Lisbon - in a lovely old street, just steps away from the waterfront, Metro and elevator to the old town - but Brown's goes far beyond what...

It started from the very moment we arrived when Duarte was able to get us an early checkin which allowed for a much needed nap. The room are beautiful and very modern. Hardwood floor and modern furnishings throughout. We had a... More

Small funky hotel with friendly helpful staff. Our small apartment was clean & had just enough room to walk around with 2 bags on the floor. The weather was unusually hot but the air con was not working. Luckily the room cooled off enough with window open & fan on although we couldn't sleep with window open as our room... More

Thank you for sharing your opinion about our hotel. Luckily during your stay Lisbon had some amazing summer days that were unexpected for the time of year, but our air conditioner system was only prepared for spring. Now, since we believe the summer season has definitely arrived we have changed the system in order to face the high temperatures that... More

Very chic and stylish boutique hotel in central Lisbon. Great location to visit major tourist locations including short walk to subway and trams. We stayed in one of the two suites on the top floor. We loved coming back to the room in the early evening prior to dinner and watching the sun set over Lisbon. The accommodations were comfortable... More

Based on great reviews, we booked a room in December 2012 for a stay in April 2013. A few days before our stay, management notified us of an unforeseen problem in the hotel that resulted in them transferring our booking to a nearby 5-star hotel at the same rate we would have paid at Brown's. All went without a hitch.... More

Good location, walking distance to most things. Modern hotel with great reception area. Room was also nice, I would stay at the hotel again. Only negatives, which have been mentioned before are the shower leaks and the walls are thin so can hear people walking around in the room above. But for the price we paid, still great value.
