Locke de Santa Joana
The stay exceeded my expectations. I loved the vibe and the friendly atmosphere. The pool area and garden was beautiful. The rooms are slightly compact but they work well.

EXE Liberdade
Hotel was kept clean. Well located and access to public transport in close proximity. Our booking was initially for a room with a balcony, but none was available. Instead, the staff offered a room with a bigger bed and free breakfast for each morning of our stay. Would highly recommend this ...

Hotel Star Inn Lisbon Aeroporto
All good for an airport stay. If you are driving it has some challenges finding the correct access. Did a few roundabouts before finding it even with Google Maps.
