The Omid Saldanha Hotel was recently opened in 2024, making it a fantastic choice for those staying in Lisbon. Traveling to the hotel is easy with Sete Rios Station located approximately 2km away and Humberto Delgado Airport roughly 7km away. Transportation around the city is also convenient, with Parque Metro Station within walking distance. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Observation Deck Park Eduardo VII, Lisbon Book Fair and Eduardo VII Park all nearby. After a long day of sightseeing, guests can retire to the comfort of the hotel. This Lisbon hotel provides parking on site. Germaphobes can rest easy - the level of cleanliness is highly rated at this hotel.
"The hotel's facilities are pretty good for Southern Europe, comparable to a Quanji Hotel in China. It hasn't been open long, so everything still feels relatively new. However, there are a few issues:
First, the room doors offer absolutely no soundproofing. If other rooms slam their doors or are noisy, you'll hear everything crystal clear in your own room. Also, this area is quite close to the airport, and the soundproofing isn't perfect, so you'll hear airplane noise. I always travel with earplugs, so this didn't bother me too much, but without them, it would definitely disrupt your sleep.
Secondly, there are clear management issues, leading to poor attention to detail. For instance, the pictures show bathrobes and disposable slippers are provided, but they weren't. The hand soap dispenser bottle and the liquid inside aren't compatible, making it very difficult to dispense. For a four-star hotel, they still use simple sheets instead of duvet covers – just two sheets sandwiching the duvet – so your body can easily come into contact with the duvet insert, which might not be washed as frequently, raising hygiene concerns.
Finally, the hotel lobby bar is huge, but it's empty at night, and they surprisingly don't allow guests to bring outside food in. We had packed a roasted chicken and wanted to eat it in the open-air lobby bar to avoid making our room smell, but we were actually kicked out. This is the first time I've heard of a four-star hotel refusing to provide any public space for guests to eat. Are we supposed to eat on the street? It felt very disrespectful.
However, I visited during the off-season, and excluding city tax, it was less than 600 RMB per night. So, these minor flaws were somewhat acceptable. If the price were higher, I would definitely recommend looking for other, better options."
