Pros:

This was a last minute trip and for a place that wasn’t to far from the airport. The staff was very nice and the room was nice and clean and being that I arrived before my check in they stored my luggage until check in. They had free breakfast every morning. I would stay here again.

Pros:

The staff was nice, especially Martin. Our room carpet was not clean and smell of mold or mildew. We almost got stuck in the elevator with the elevator door opening and closing repeatedly very quickly and unsafely. Two other guests were inside with us. Later a guest was stuck inside for almost an hour, The cobble stones in front of main entrance to hotel were loose and hazardous. I did stumble but I did not fall. I’m 73 and have traveled extensively and this was an unpleasant, unhappy experience. I worked 35 years in the hotel industry at risk management in the state of Hawaii. Tim Blum

Pros:

The Holiday Inn that we stayed in Lisbon is in great location, a few minutes walk from Metro, supermarket, coffee shops and restaurants. The staff are great specially Diogo who always provided us with assistance on which direction my husband and I should go in visiting different places in Lisbon. He is very helpful. All other staff are great too! There is no language barrier, they can converse in English pretty well. I’m pleased with the service I received from the staff. Will definitely come back again in the future!

Value for money, cleanliness needs to be monitored closely
Pros:

I gave the hotel a low review as although the location is great and staff upon check-in and breakfast were nice and pleasant, but my room twice I had complained but don't think they were followed up as staff didn't show name badges I couldn't show who I dealt with.
Bathroom towels replaced with floor mats, two single beds remade and on 1 occasion a tissue was left underneath the blanket disgusting, secondly blood stains small dots I found on my sheets absolutely appalling and felt disgusted afterwards.
The hotel itself seemed clean and new but this what we experienced hopefully not the norm
