Michelin Guide "This hotel has a comfortable, contemporary interior."
Lonely Planet "Steps twist up past ivy-clad walls to this 17th-century convent turned boutique stunner, with art-slung vaulted corridors and a sun-dappled courtyard." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located in the quiet Lapa neighborhood, the York House hotel is a converted Carmelite convent built in 1606." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A former 17th-century convent, turned into a boarding house by two Yorkshire women in the 19th century."
Rough Guide "Located in a sixteenth-century Carmelite convent (and hidden from the main street by high walls), rooms here are chic and minimalist."
Star Service "On a cobbled street of grand but decaying buildings, this hotel sits between Bairro Alto and the waterfront, near its tiny, less evocative sibling Janelas Verdes." Full review
Fodor's "Although it's a good way west of the center, York House is on tram and bus routes from downtown and near the Museu de Arte Antiga." Full review

It has a loyal, predominantly British clientele; book well in advance.
Frommer's "Once a 17th-century convent, this boutique hotel is outside the center of traffic-filled Lisbon, and so attracts those who desire peace and tranquillity." Full review

Michelin Guide "Spacious guestrooms with an Art Deco feel."
Frommer's "A former town house, it originally housed studio apartments, which explains why the bedrooms are much larger than most other competitors in Lisbon." Full review
Lonely Planet "Art deco rules the waves at Britania, a boutique gem near Avenida da Liberdade." Full review
OysterUpscale
"Its location on a tree-lined street just off of bustling Avenida de Liberdade is convenient, but removed from the loud noise of the city." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Well placed in a quiet street just off Avenida da Liberdade, the Britânia is a gem with a style all its own."
Rough Guide "Designed in the 1940s by influential architect Cassiano Branco, this is an Art Deco gem with huge airy rooms, each with traditional cork flooring and marble-clad bathrooms."
Star Service "Facing a fairly placid street in an otherwise busy but popular location, this underdog feels more like a little London townhouse hotel than the stylish budget offering it really is." Full review

The latter on high floors are the ones to request.
Fodor's "The art deco touches throughout Hotel Britânia are the key selling point... Staff members are really friendly." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Original interiors have been beautifully restored, among 32 rooms and one suite in a private, club-like, atmosphere with a library and bar." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Billing itself as the only surviving original Art Deco hotel in Lisbon, Hotel Britania is a design-forward boutique property straight out of the 1940s"
