A Contemporary Hotel Near to a Beautiful Monastery

Advantages: Well situated - close to famous attraction and good transport links
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

Jeronimos 8 is one of the most contemporary hotels I have come across in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. It has a real 'designer' feel to the establishment and makes a refreshing change from the heavy wood furniture and long draped curtains that you come across quite a lot in Portugal. The hotel is well connected by tram, bus and train to the city centre. To save on costs whilst travelling to and from the hotel I suggest you purchase a Sete Colinas ...
...Manueline pieces of architecture - Jeronimos Monastery is only 200 metres from the hotel. Torre de Belem and the Monument of the Discoveries are a walk away at 1.5 kilometres and the Cultural Centre of Belem is about 500 metres away. Booking is very straightforward and can easily be done on line. It is just a case of choosing dates and stating the kind of room you prefer and the number of people staying. You can either pay a deposit or the whole ...

not so good if there is a problem

Advantages: cheap basic rooms, central location for Placa Commercial and tram 28
Disadvantages: en-suite rooms are not worth 70 euros when you actually get better facilities for 45 euros

...rooms and shared facilities, this pensao is a good deal - doesn't seem to me like it's worth paying any more and raising expectations. *I have ticked that I wouldn't recommend this place because of the manager's attitude to our concerns with the room - guarding profits rather than seeking to address our concerns with the quality of the accommodation. I would rather direct friends to places where there is a genuine concern for customer service. ...

Hotel Roma - Lisbon

Advantages: The buffet breakfast was quite good
Disadvantages: Unfortunately, lots!

...taxi. I found that Roma was not the most upmarket of areas and as I was travelling alone felt rather nervous. The lobby to the hotel looks quite impressive and the staff are well turned out, but I did not find them particularly friendly. My room was pretty basic and very cold - no carpet and the heater did not work. Also, the view from the window looked down upon the dreary, grey back entrance to the hotel and other nearby retail premises. I also ...
...often open! There is a bar and restaurant, though I was not especially impressed with my evening meal - soup is very popular in Portugal. On the plus side, my accommodation included breakfast and this was a good, 'eat as much as you want' buffet affair. Internet access is available in the lobby. There are some small shops nearby, but these really equate to local shops in England. There is a underground station not too far up the road and I was brave ...

Hotel Borges -excellent for the price

Advantages: Location in excellent
Disadvantages: breakfast - don't bother, go to a cafe

The location of this hotel is excellent for a night out in the nearby Bairro Alto area and for shopping in the Chiado area. The Metro station is right opposite and the famous cafe brasiliera is very close. We booked a triple room and were a bit disappointed that the third bed was a sofa bed, but the room was large and clean and had a good standard of bathroom. The breakfast was very basic - just a bread roll or a croissant and coffee from a machine ...
...many nearby cafes. The hotel has lifts which are old fashioned but much better than struggling up stairs with your luggage which is often what you get at this price range. The staff were friendly enough. Don't expect to have a quiet night's sleep though as when we were there there were buskers outside until the early hours. But great if you're having a night out - there are lots of people around at night and it feels very safe. ...

Is it arty-smarty or just arty-farty?

Advantages: Good price for the standard of hotel
Disadvantages: Not a great location unless you want to be next to the Expo Park

...all. I arrived at the hotel around 11 pm and was off again next morning at 9 am. However, even in such a brief stay, I think it's possible to get an impression of a hotel. The Arts is a four star hotel and is part of the Portuguese VIP hotel chain - I'll admit I'd not heard of it before but I was quite impressed by this hotel and would be happy to stay in some of their other hotels just to see if they are all like this. Where is it? The VIP ...
...slightly less pretentious. The hotel is a few blocks back from the waterfront and a block or two from the bus station and a block from the underground. The airport is just 2 miles away but the downside, if you want to be in the city centre, is that the historic area is about 6 miles away so you'll not be able to walk to the sites. The underground would apparently take you about 25 minutes but taxis in the city are still very good value and cheaper ...
