Hotel Santa Justa Lisboa

Hotel Santa Justa Lisboa

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel. Location was perfect for multiple restaurants, tourist sites as well as the metro, tram stops and train station. We had two rooms which were clean. No street noise that we noticed. The mini bar with water, coke and beer that they would restock each time they would clean (which was daily if desired) was nice as well. Coming from east coast overnight flight, we arrived at 9 am. They took our luggage and even had one room ready around noon rather than the 3 pm checkin time. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you are visiting Lisbon."

"Clean simple hotel with a great location. Walkable to many good and popular restaurants. Locals stated we were in a very good central spot for stay. The air conditioning was great and very cool to come back to after being out for the day. Would 10/10 recommend staying here to be near and central to all things you want to do and see in Lisbon!

Hotel Mundial

Hotel Mundial

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Mundial is a gem right in the heart of Lisbon. The location was very close to many attractions and pick up points for day excursions. The rooftop bar with an amazing view of the castle at night, is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a busy day. Mundial exceeded our expectations with a welcome gift, goodbye gift, welcome drinks and discount on hotel restaurants. The morning buffet breakfast was excellent. The hotel lobby and lounge bar are inviting and comfy. The staff are very pleasant and made us feel at home. LOVED our stay and would come back anytime. Thank you Hotel Mundial for making my families vacation memorable."

"This hotel was located in the perfect spot! We took the metro from the airport to a station that was a 5 minute walk away from the hotel right near the beautiful Rua Augusta Arch. The tram was a close walk, many great restaurants. Everything was great at the hotel. My only dislike was the stiff bed but besides that everything was fine. We would definitely choose to stay here again if we come back to Lisbon."
