Hotel Florida

Had a minor issue during my stay, but Pedro from the hotel team quickly resolved it with great support. Their responsiveness and professionalism made all the difference. The platform also provided excellent assistance throughout the process. I truly appreciate their dedication to guest satisfaction. Located in a convenient spot, this hotel offers an outstanding value for money. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to fellow travelers visiting Lisbon.

LV Premier Bica

The apartment was fantastic—spacious, stylish, and the patio offered an incredible view of Lisbon’s skyline. I truly enjoyed the modern design and the cozy feel of the space. However, one thing to note is that the neighborhood has a heavy concentration of foreign backpackers and partygoers, especially in the parks and streets. We travel with our school-aged kids frequently to experience different cultures, and we prefer quieter, more family-friendly areas. If you're looking for a vibrant, lively atmosphere with late-night energy and don’t mind some street activity, then this place might be perfect for you—especially if you’re okay with spending around $400 per night. For families seeking peace and quiet, though, another area might be a better fit.

Hotel da Estrela - Small Luxury Hotels of the World - by Unlock Hotels

Staying at Hotel da Estrela was an absolute highlight of my trip to Lisbon. The hotel is beautifully located in the heart of the city, just a short walk from metro stations and local attractions—super convenient for exploring. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome. The manager speaks French and was incredibly attentive, always ready to help with recommendations or any needs. My room was quiet, spacious, and perfectly equipped—everything you’d want for a comfortable stay. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, and the bathroom felt luxurious with modern fixtures and excellent amenities. Breakfast was simple but outstanding—freshly baked pastries, especially the croissants, were delicious and clearly made with care. While the menu wasn’t huge, every item tasted fresh and well-prepared. Overall, this place offers a charming, personalized experience with exceptional quality. A true gem in Lisbon’s boutique hotel scene—I’ll definitely be back.

Lisbon Finestay 8 Building Apartments

The apartment was spacious and incredibly well-equipped—everything you’d need for a comfortable stay, including an oven, dishwasher, fridge, induction cooktop, kettle, toaster, and even a Nescafé Dolce Gusto coffee machine. It’s located in a prime spot, just steps away from the Time Out Market, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. We did request an early check-in and a room close to my niece’s, but unfortunately the platform couldn’t accommodate that. That said, we opted for room service breakfast, which was delivered straight to our door—very convenient. Overall, the location, amenities, and value made this a standout stay. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a true home-away-from-home vibe.

Orange 3 House - Chiado Studios

I was a bit disappointed with my stay at Orange 3 House - Chiado Studios, especially since most other reviews were glowing. I stayed from October 20 to 25, and while it was manageable overall, I wouldn’t book here again. The room was clean and the cleaning staff was very friendly—Bruno, who handled airport pickup, was also pleasant. However, communication was a major issue. I couldn’t reach anyone during my entire visit, despite calling the number listed in their email signature (the person said he no longer worked there) and sending two emails that went completely unanswered. I only received an automated 'thank you' after check-out. I wasn’t informed about breakfast options, the room felt damp and somewhat underground, and the bathroom cubicle was so small I couldn’t even stretch my arms. For the price, I believe there are better places to stay. I booked back in August, but just days before travel, I was told my card hadn’t been charged and needed to wire payment to confirm. That was unusual, but I complied. I also requested airport transfers, which weren’t clearly communicated as an extra cost—so when my ride arrived nearly 45 minutes late and we had to sort out payment on-site, it added stress. There seems to be a disconnect between management and staff, and being unable to get help during my stay was frustrating. It was fine, but definitely not something I’d repeat.

Lisbon Canaan Boutique Apartments Gaivotas by Get Your Stay

We stayed at Lisbon Canaan Boutique Apartments Gaivotas by Get Your Stay for five nights and were truly impressed with our experience. The apartment was beautifully designed, well-maintained, and offered a comfortable, spacious feel throughout. The only minor issues were a missing broom and the bidet faucet—which honestly felt like tiny details that didn’t affect the overall quality. Our host Pedro was incredibly helpful and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the metro and close to all the main attractions. For a boutique apartment with such a great vibe and value, this place stands out. I’d definitely recommend it and plan to return.

Lisbon Serviced Apartments - Bairro Alto

The apartment was well-equipped, especially the kitchen—everything you'd need for cooking and meal prep. I’d definitely recommend it to travelers who enjoy self-catering. The only downside was that we were on a lower floor, and we spotted a few cockroaches, which I suspect is common in older buildings in Lisbon’s lower levels. Not ideal, but not a dealbreaker. We did have a small issue with the platform during check-in—our access code didn’t arrive on time. Luckily, a group of tourists was leaving right then, so we could use their kiosk to complete registration and get inside. Overall, the location in Bairro Alto is fantastic, the space is comfortable and practical, and the staff (or system) handled things smoothly once we got in. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Gloria Suites by LX Way

The location is excellent—super convenient for getting around Lisbon, and the metro station is just a short walk away. That said, the street is quite steep, so it’s something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with luggage. The beds are narrow, which works fine for solo travelers but might feel cramped for two people sharing. The hot water takes a while to heat up, so be prepared to wait a bit in the morning. The bathrooms are very small, making it tight to move around, but they’re clean and functional. Overall, the facilities are decent—nothing fancy, but not bad either. It’s a solid mid-range option, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to stay here again.

VIP Executive Zurique Hotel

Staying at VIP Executive Zurique Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm atmosphere and elegant design that made me feel right at home. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully furnished—every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom had modern fixtures with excellent water pressure. What truly stood out was the staff—they were attentive without being overbearing, always ready to help with local tips or recommendations. Location-wise, it’s perfect: just a short walk from major attractions and public transport. It’s rare to find such a well-balanced mix of comfort, style, and service. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lisbon. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience.

Tivoli Avenida Liberdade

This hotel continues to exceed my expectations—just as exceptional as always. The breakfast is outstanding, easily one of the best I've had during my business trips across Europe. Fresh, diverse, and beautifully presented with local specialties that truly highlight Portuguese flavors. The location is fantastic too—walking distance to major attractions and just a short ride on the metro to anywhere in the city center. Everything from the staff’s hospitality to the room ambiance feels polished and welcoming. It's rare to find such a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and quality. If you're visiting Lisbon, whether for work or leisure, this is definitely a top choice. I’ll be coming back without hesitation.

Olissippo Lapa Palace – The Leading Hotels of the World

Staying at Olissippo Lapa Palace was an absolute highlight of my trip to Lisbon. The room was surprisingly spacious for Europe, with a lovely balcony offering breathtaking views of the city—perfect for morning coffee or sunset watching. Everything was immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed. The breakfast spread was fantastic, but the real standout was the 4th-floor restaurant: incredible dishes like foie gras and black pork that were rich in flavor and perfectly executed. Dining here felt like a special occasion. Location-wise, it’s incredibly convenient—just a short ride to major attractions like Avenida da Liberdade. Staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely made you feel welcome. I also loved the artistic vibe throughout the hotel—the hallways lined with stunning murals added a unique cultural touch. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s an experience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking luxury, charm, and authenticity in Lisbon.
