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

"The 19-room Hotel da Estrela is a stylish, quirky boutique in a quiet residential area a little out of the way of major attractions." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Most visitors to Lisbon stay in the delightful but busy Bairro Alto, Lapa, or Alfama districts, but no one is disappointed when they choose one of the quieter, more intimate neighborhoods." Full review
Star Service "The fact that the hotel is a proving ground for many of the students next door is indicative of the service you can expect here: thoughtful, smiling and sophomoric." Full review
Afar Magazine "Those cooking and serving are students, and that’s why at this restaurant you can choose your price (within a range)—basically you will be evaluating the students, so the price you decide..." Full review

Those cooking and serving are students, and that’s why at this restaurant you can choose your price (within a range)—basically you will be evaluating the students, so the price you decide to pay will affect the student’s grade.
