Hotel Metropole

Location perfect. Next to everything. The room was great, with a large window and balcony facing the plaza. The bathroom has a great large deep tub, after a long day of walks. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast excellent, many choices and carefully chosen. Delicious. Service at the front desk was good, however two were exceptional in their service. One is Joeo (spl?) was extraordinary and help me with every detail. Even assisted me with finding my way to a soccer game and were to purchase the ticket. My 7 days visit to Lisbon, the history, the very nicely manner people, was wrapped up with my comfortable hotel stay. Memorable stay.

Super hotel! Clean ,excellent, helpful staff. room was large and clean ,with firm mattresses , a big bathroom and a nice balcony overlooking the square. Breakfast was outstanding and was includedin the price. Great lounge downstairs with really comfy chairs and neat antique furniiture throughout. Location was on Rossio square, geographic center of Lisbon and all the action. Many many resturants in easy walking distance. A short walk north to catch the Hop on Hop off buses - a must in visiting the castle etc.

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 :)

Access to the city and shopping places

Upon arrival after a last minute booking the hotel had provided us with a free upgrade to the top level with the best view of the square, castle, etc. This was such a nice surprise and I would recommend that view to everyone. Breakfast was included and very nice. Front desk staff recommended and set up an excellent day tour that we really enjoyed.
