Hotel Metropole

Had a very good experience in this hotel (and in Lisboa altogether:) ). The location is amazing right in the heart of city. It's easy to walk anywhere and there's so much to see just in the surroundings alone. Arriving from the airport is easy aswell. The room was comfortable and clean, no spots or anything to complain about. It was quiet and cool enough in the summer heat. Stylish too which I liked :). The breakfast was good, not a huge variety but everything was delicious and good enough for 4 mornings. The staff were helpful and kind. The breakfast area is quite small and it was full every morning around 8:30, but they opened up the balcony and people got to sit there too and enjoy the atmosphere. I really liked the experience and especially considering this only cost a tad bit over 100 euros per night during the busiest summer season (booked in April), with this kind of location aswell, the bank for buck is amazing.

First of all, the location is excellent and means you save a lot of time and energy visiting Lisbon. The rooms are pleasant and comfortable though some issues with the bathroom and the air conditioning might struggle when it's really hot outside. The staff were nice and the young man at the desk gave lots of advice for visiting. Breakfast was fine, though the tea and coffee weren't fantastic they were ok. The only issue we had was the shower, it was either on full with pressure so fierce that it was like a Karcher, or just cold water. But we could fix the issue by using the bath taps to reduce the pressure, though wasted water. So I didn't speak to the hotel about this issue as I didn't have time.

Central location, with access to a metro station directly on the square the hotel is located on, and a big public transport hub on the next square to get to Belém or to LX factory, for example. Easy to get around the city from here, whether you want to walk or take the bus or the metro. It's an old building, with lots of old, well-kept furniture in the building and the rooms <3 The breakfast buffet is good, especially the juices and scrambled eggs. There's also a lot of different teas you can choose from. You get the same things every day, but we didn't mind. Plus, you get to eat in a really nice salon-like hall with windows and a small balcony overlooking the square, that can be used all day, so after breakfast as well. We didn't really have time to chill in the salon because we were out and about all day, but if you need a break in between, I would imagine it's quite nice. Our room was surprisingly big and had a balcony looking over the busy square. There was more than enough space for our stuff, and we loved the balcony and watching all the other tourists on the square. All in all, it's a great place to start discovering Lisboa after a good breakfast :)

Location wise, it was the best. All the attractions are in walking distance. It was next to a paid underground parking, so you can arrive here by car and plan some day trips e.g. to Sintra. There's also Metro and Bus stops right next to the hotel in case you don't want to walk. Breakfast was awesome as well, with a view to the central plaza. Hotel staff were friendly and warm. Would definitely recommend.
