Locke de Santa Joana
Truly a 10/10 experience. Great staff, hotel is so cute. Had a little dishwasher and kitchen set up if needed. Area was perfect. 100% coming back and upset I didn’t stay here the whole time. Speak easy, Mediterranean restaurant, and great Portuguese food. You’ll be sad if you skip this spot.

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
