Hotels in Benfica, Lisbon

Very nice Lisbon apartment. Full one bedroom with king sized bed with a full pull out couch in living room. Nicely re-done unit. Kitchen and bathroom were very functional. Airconditioning in bedroom. Unit was large and comfortable for 3 people. Only issues are related to location. Unit is a 100 yard walk up a somewhat steep hill. It’s also a 12-15 min walk into heart of city with lots of hills bit that is most of Lisbon. Ubers are inexpensive all over town but meeting point is at the bottom of the hill. There are restaurants in close proximity including Sacco which is right around the corner and should be on your list of places to dine if you are staying in this neighborhood. This place was good value and would recommend if you’re looking for local neighborhood just outside of central tourist areas.

The room is large but not comfortable. The bed is not headed, so the coats fall back and the boxes are missing, the box is not comfortable. What is comfortable is the bathroom area, separated between the water and the shower, which is wide and also as a courtesy you have gel, shampoo and softening, as well as body cream, all of good quality. It is just a different hotel, with the bathroom slogan; the shower staff are welcome in a dressing room, it is curiosous and the breakfast really good, quality and staff care is excellent.

BEWARE: rats, incompetence and insecurity Let me start by saying: I have been to many hotels, campsites, hostels, etc. throughout Europe, but what happened goes beyond all limits of hygiene, personal safety and common sense. When we returned to the room at 11.30pm we noticed the presence of a RAT. We mentioned this to the staff at reception and they told us that he was doing NOTHING and that he was going home. He contacted his manager who told us to go to another facility. By now it was 00:00 on a Saturday in August, the hotels were either full or the check-ins were closed therefore he literally left us in the middle of the ROAD without worrying about our SAFETY and not answering the telephone provided on Booking. The area is quite SAD, plus the entrance door must always be left open with people of dubious recommendation passing through. Plus the hygiene is overall poor, there is a strong smell coming from the stairs and after what happened they made this the WORST experience of MY LIFE in an accommodation facility. ATTENZIONE: topi, incompetenza e insicurezza Premetto: sono stato in moltissimi hotel, campeggi, ostelli, ecc di tutta Europa, ma quanto successo va oltre ogni limite di igene, sicurezza personale e buonsenso. Rientrati nella stanza alle 23:30 ci accorgiamo della presenza di un RATTO. Lo abbiamo fatto presente al personale in reception e ci ha detto che lui non faceva NIENTE e che se ne sarebbe andato a casa. Ha contattao il suo responsabile che ci ha detto di andarcene in un'altra struttura. Ormai era 00:00 di un sabato di Agosto, gli hotel o erano pieni o i check-in chiusi pertanto ci ha letteralmente lasciato in mezzo alla STRADA senza preoccuparci della nostra SICUREZZA e non rispondendo al telefono fornito su Booking. La zona è abbastanza MALFAMATA, in piu il portone di ingresso va lasciato sempre aperto con passaggio di persone di dubbia raccomandazione. In più l'igene è complessivamente scarsa, c'è forte odore proveniente dalle scale e dopo quanto successo hanno reso questa l'esperienza PEGGIORE DELLA MIA VITA in una struttura ricettiva.

The distance from the center is not too far and you can walk on foot. The hotel staff was friendly and the stay was very comfortable. You need to bring your own amenities except basic body soap, but the shared spaces such as shower rooms and toilets were kept fairly clean and easy to use.

The room was modern, clean, and very comfortable! There were several places in the room where you could directly plug in a USB port, so I was able to charge my smartphone and mobile charger without needing a conversion plug, which was very convenient. It is also easily accessible, with a 2-minute walk to the nearby station and supermarket, and a 25-minute walk to the Alfama district and Rossio Square. It took about 15 minutes by taxi to the airport. I stayed for 6 nights and had a very comfortable stay. thank you!
