Frommer's Review
Although York House is still the most atmospheric -- and certainly the most famous in its category in Lisbon -- this hotel is giving it serious competition and is almost its equal. In fact, it used to be an annex to York House but broke away and is becoming known as a historic hotel in its own right. Lying near the Museum of Ancient Art, it was the former house of the Portuguese novelist Eça de Queiroz. During a major renovation, the place was modernized but its traditional past was respected. Rooms are luxurious with comfortable furniture, style, and abundant closet space, and the spacious tile bathrooms come with tub/shower combos. The red lounge evokes turn-of-the-20th-century Lisbon. Other special features include a small but beautiful garden and two honor bars as well as a top-floor library and terrace.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
