About

Ra Paraiso

Ra Paraiso is a compact bed & breakfast set on the third floor of a building on Rua do Paraiso, in the historic Alfama district of Lisbon. With just seven rooms, the property keeps a personal, low-key feel, and the adults-only policy adds to the quiet atmosphere. The location is a practical base for exploring: Santa Apolonia metro station is about a five-minute walk away, and Praca do Comercio can be reached in roughly 18 minutes on foot.

The rooms are simple but comfortable, with heating, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs. The Deluxe Double Room adds a river view and a shower. Guests share a kitchen and a lounge, and the property also has a restaurant and bar on site. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 18:00, so plan arrival accordingly. No pets are allowed, and the entire property is non-smoking.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 18:00, which can be restrictive if your travel plans are unpredictable.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this property won't be able to accommodate you.
  • Value for money is a mixed point — While the location and staff earn praise, the value rating (6.9) suggests some guests feel the price is slightly high for the level of facilities.
  • Small property with limited facilities — With only seven rooms, the shared spaces are compact and the range of on-site amenities is modest. There's no mention of parking, and the property is on the third floor (though there is a lift).
