Hotel Acta Moa- New Opening
Locke de Santa Joana
Great modern place with a nice vibe - the bar and pool area is wonderful and quiet but still in a central location to explore Lisbon on foot. Rooms are modern and well equipped.

B&B Hotel Lisboa Aeroporto
Property was clean. Staff were reasonably friendly not that helpful. The alarm went off on the night for hours on and off and there was no update. Breakfast was fine

EXE Liberdade
The location was great, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable. My only issue, and this is true for so very many hotels now, is that the shower wall made me worry that I would accidentally flood the bathroom if I wasn't too careful.
