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.

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.

ibis Styles Lisboa Aeroporto
Convenient airport shuttle. But the rooms are extremely small, even with Portuguese standards. There's barely any space to open your suitcase.
