Amazonia Lisboa

If you are considering this hotel - DONT. Pay the extra and stay somewhere closer to town which is not falling apart. This hotel is about 30 years overdue for a refit with terrible plumbing, cracked broken tiles worn out dirty carpets and a pool which is more like a large bath placed on a raised shed! The rooms are an ok size but are in a state of disrepair with stained beds, carpet that is black with dirt, broken bath fittings, hairdryer broken, wires hanging from fittings tiles mising/ broken no TV remote. The hotel is conveniently... more

Everything was ok. The rooms weren't fab, smallish, but clean and ok, little balcony. The location was ok... quite a long walk to everything, but not tooooo far. Swimming pool very small in a rather uninspiring setting. Staff were ok. Bar mostly not open, even in mid august, and didnt stick to its posted hours, but - like I say, it was ok.

I was very pleasently surprised by the hotel upon arrival. It was only a short drive from the airport costing approximatly 12 euros by taxi and in a good general location. Close to many resturants, public transport and attractions. It was well presented, clean and welcoming. There were many leaflets, guides and maps available in the lobby for travellers. The staff, particually on reception were very polite and helpful. They also spoke english which was nice. The room itself was quite spacious with a balcony leading out to the... more

The Amazonia Lisbon is a fairly large hotel. On the plus side it is quite well located - near the Marquis de Pombal statue, and metro, and several restaurants. The upper rooms have good views of the harbour, and the room was clean. The less good points were that the public areas seemed a bit grubby and run down - and there were things that were broken - e.g. 5 out of 6 coathooks, the wireless internet access. The walls were paper thin, and the air conditioning was very noisy. Many coach tours use this place - so the breakfast buffet... more

With rooms on £40 special offer this hotel provided excellent value. Towards the north of the city centre but walkable. Close (5 min) to the Rato tube. A 15min uphill walk (or one tube stop) from the Marques de Pombal where the Aerobus stops. Staff spoke English and were polite. Cleaners were a bit eager, trying to enter my room at 9am! Room was clean and comfortable. Shower had seen better days but worked fine. TV had a good selection of English and Portuguese channels - when it worked! Plentiful continental... more

I stayed here recently for 3 nights...the room has bed bugs and it had a bad smell!! However, it is a good location. There is a big shopping centre nearby...its open til 11pm. The reception staff were very helpful. So it really depends on what is important to you. The room wasnt great at all...small and dingy. On the upside its a good location.

Hotel is comfortable and has all you need but is in need of a full re-fit. Lots of places to eat nearby. A 10 minute walk North West of hotel is a huge shopping centre called Amoreiras, which has fast food or traditional restaurants and a great supermarket. If you turn right out of hotel, then left there is a small Italian on the right hand side, or a bit further up left hand side, past “Rose Bud” shoe shop, look for a small walkway leading down to a court yard with Argentian, Italian and Portuguese restaurants and a little bar. There is... more

We spent 3 nights here over Easter 2006. Very easy to get to - 15 minutes from the airport and handily located for the city centre - an enjoyable 25 minute walk or a short metro ride (or a longer but more fun tram ride). Staff could not have been more helpful and bar staff in particular were fun and great conversation. Some facilities were a bit random: old fashioned safes meant a €10 key deposit and the minibar appeared to be locked. Rooms were generous at the price but noisy due to no door seals and doors (locked)... more

I should start off by saying that I am used to sleeping in Hostels and regular two star hotels--nothing fancy, but this was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The first room they sent me to was infested with ants, not just a couple, but well over 50. I found them in the shower, by the door, and even in the bed! I called and asked to be moved. The staff was very courteous and moved me right away to a bigger room on another floor. I found out later that night that there was no hot water in the shower. Decided not to complain twice... more

I chose this hotel based on price and reviews from trip advisor. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It's in the center of Lisbon, and removed from the tourist areas. As stated in previous reviews, a quick 5 minute walk from the hotel is a subway and also several bus lines. We preferred the bus lines because they are airconditioned, clean and always on time. The public transportation in Lisbon runs on a GPS system, so you know exactly when your bus will arrive. The bus map is very user friendly (there is one posted... more
