Felt like staying in a private palace. A hidden gem.
Pros:

Chose the Lapa Palace because of the ambience which didn't disappoint. Also near the cruise terminal and we wanted somewhere with local charm to stay the night before. Sadly too cold for the outside pool but the inside pool was perfect for an early morning dip. Lunch on the terrace in the winter sun was perfect with views over the water.

Amazing hotel staff
Pros:

The staff at this hotel made us feel so welcome. I don't think that we have ever been to another hotel where the staff were so warm and friendly. The hotel itself is lovely but the folks on the staff are what make it so very special. From the front desk to room service to house keeping to bar and breakfast staff - everyone made us feel comfortable. The buffet breakfast was huge and creative. The food served in their bar was very good and plentiful. We would have liked to dine in their elegant looking restaurant but our jet lag always got the best of us so we had our dinner in their bar/cafe. Highly recommend this hotel - and we have traveled a lot.

Grand hotel with outstanding service
Pros:

We had a very enjoyable experience staying at the Olissippo Lapa Palace. A grand hotel.

The room was very nice and the welcome bottle of port and cookies was a great touch. We had a good view of the river and the the outdoor pool and the gardens.

The bar had great decor along with a piano player. They made an outstanding martini on the rocks. My wife and I were looked after extremely well by Patricia. Her outstanding service and help made our evening memorable. We were enjoying the bar so much that we were not sure whether to eat in the bar or the hotel restaurant where we had a reservation. Patricia spoke to the restaurant staff and arranged for us to be served from the main menu in the bar if we chose to stay there. We did end up eating in the restauarant. Wanted to try a Portuguese delicacy so had the suckling pig. It was outstanding.

We used the indoor pool twice and liked it. Our card keys had stopped working. When I mentioned it to the spa attendant, Teresa, she said that she would take care of it. She went to reception and got us new keys while we were still in the pool.

It is outstanding service like this that makes this hotel so special.

The breakfast room was beautiful and the breakfast itself was just excellent. Just enjoyed taking our time with a couple of coffees and the good selection.

Great hotel but really bad concierge scam restaurant recommendation
Pros:

Great hotel and very nice staff and service and beautiful swimming pool for entire family to enjoy.

Only major complain is that their Conceirge recommended a sea food restaurant for us called Numes Real Marisqueria which turned out to be total scam and tourist abuse location

We only realised this afterwards when we read all the scam and awful reviews on Trip Advisor to stay away from it!

Not sure if Conceirge receives tips back from this restaurant but they should not recommend such scam places to their customers

Really bad advice when we trusted the Conceirge!

Never gets too old
Pros:

A traditional old school hotel which is a real delight. The service is great, the atmosphere is relaxed and one of the only hotels with an outdoor pool yet so centrally located. Always top of the list for a trip to Lisbon!

A lovely long weekend in comfort and style without being too pretentious with delightful staff.
Pros:

the attentive staff, the comfort, the lovely breakfast, the location. The terrace and the piano bar.

Cons:

I would have liked to have not used the lift to go to my room all the time. The pool area was a bit stark and in the afternoon the sun didn't reach certain parts due to the extremely big trees. I know they are very old but they could be pruned a bit to let more sun through, this was also the same for our balcony as we received no sun.
