Stayed here for a conference and the hotel was fabulous . Good , large rooms , well equipped , superb professional and friendly staff . For the price I can’t praise it enough . Beautiful coffee in the bar for 2 euros !! And I ate in the restaurant . Really well cooked pork and mushroom risotto and a nice glass of red for €20 ! Can’t recommend highly enough with only a €7 taxi to the historic centre of Lisbon
Reception was smooth and we were soon on our way up to our room. First impression is good but after a shower and settle in we discover that there is not a single place to hang your towel. The room was clean and the TV channel selection and picture quality was good. Reach for a beer from the mini fridge and discover there is no bottle opener! The evening draws in and we discover there is a relaxing low level of lighting but no light over the work desk and no reading lights over the bed, a spare socket for the important phone charger is found by scrabbling around on the floor and when you leave the room the electric goes off so the phone you left to charge is still empty. Retire to the downstairs bar and order a gin and tonic; when the bill comes it is €13. I can buy a full bottle of Gordon's gin for €10.90 from garrafeiranacional and a bottle of Schweppes tonic for €1.80 and still have change out of €13! So to bed; it is large and comfortable and I have a good night's sleep. Down to the breakfast buffet and there is a good selection to choose from. Fresh coffee from a 'pod' machine and a selection of fruit juices and we are off to a good start. Go to the hot food selection, plenty to choose from though the scrambled egg looks disgusting; opt for the fried egg, beans, mushroom, bacon, hash brown and sausage. Back at the table I discover that nothing on my plate is hotter than 40ºC, the ideal temperature for bacteria to thrive and the fried egg appears to be made from soft rubber. The bain-marie under the hot food shows 77ºC so why is the food actually stored at such an unhealthy temperature? The cold selection was however quite good though the pastries were deemed to be a bit stale by my companion. The hotel is close to the Oriente transport hub, shopping, the Large Altice concert Arena, the aquarium, National exhibition centre and the impressive Euro site; with a good nudge from management this hotel could be very good; as it is, beware of it's limitations.…
Warm welcome at reception and quickly checked in. Staff top drawer, very professional and obliging. Room very comfortable, spacious and clean with all the amenities desired. Perhaps they could rethink not including a sachet of coffee or milk, for those, of which I am sure there are many, that do not drink tea. Breakfast second to none, delicious, plentiful, with plenty of variety and all fresh. Coffee also good. Always enjoy starting the day on holiday with a glass of sparkling wine, which was also included in the breakfast. Very convenient for the Altice Arena, Oceanarium, Harry Potter, Casino and airport. I will definitely stay here again.
This hotel is in a very good area on the outer edge of Lisbon. The Altice Arena and the Oceanarium are both within 10 mins walk. There is a bus and train station just across the road and it is only 10 mins from the airport. We used the hop on hop of buses to get around (there is a stop 100 metres from the hotel) There is a large shopping mall 2 blocks away. There are a few restaurants near by - especially Butchers just across the block - great place to eat. The hotel restaurant was poor, we were the only ones in, my risotto was solid(but tasty) and my husbands fish was overcooked and a very small portion. The breakfast were good, plenty of choice but none of the hot food was hot. Nice bar, plenty of seating. All the staff were friendly and helpful
I was the only person in the restaurant tonight but I don’t know why! Hence this review. I’ve had an outstanding steak. One of the best ever. I had a complimentary amuse bouche of salmon tartare with mint mayonnaise wrapped in pineapple and a squeeze of lime. Blew me away. Simply stunning. Well worth coming to try the restaurant even if you’re not staying.
