Hotel Suíço Atlântico - Lisbon

5.5

the room was furnished with old stuff: old bed very "noisy" and not comfortable. The worst think of this room (219) was the smell: it was stinking of close air... for thet price should improve the quality. very good position in the city.

6.9

The reviews said it was noisy and it was. Friday and Saturday nights were really bad but Sunday and Monday were not bad. If it had been hot so the ac was on it may have been better. Even with the noise we received what we thought we would an inexpensive room without much space but clean and well located.

9.2

Excellent price for the location, very close to subway station and downtown Lisbon. The rooms may not be very spacious, but for us it was enough.

7.8

excellent location

7.0

central location, short ways to the attrections of lisbon

9.0

Perfect place for low budget sightseeing. One can reach everything easily. The hotel has a special atmosphere. Don't expect real services. Be far from the tram, and spend your day in the town, and you will have a perfect sleep.

4.5

In the room on the highest floor was extremely noisy because the elevator`s motor was working right near! So First night was awful! Fortunately we changed the room on the next day . Attention: Don`t leave you car near the hotel! – it costs 60 euro tomorrow :-)

6.6

The cheapest accommodations we could find. The location is excellent and the staff are helpful, continental breakfast included in the price nice reception area. The rooms are drab and very old. If your room is large with a nice bathroom do not switch, you have the royal suite.

6.7

This hotel rated low of my hotels on this trip. On the good side, the room was clean, everything worked, the included breakfast was good, and the staff very cordial. On the negative side, the halls are depressing, the bathroom was extremely small, the noisy garbage truck came through the street in the middle of the night, and the staff gave me totally wrong information for the Metro stop for the bus station.

9.4

comfortable hotel, inexpensive, great location. A short walk to the Baixa (downtown) area, a short walk (or cog train) up to the Barrio Alto neighborhood. The hotel is across the street from the the Hard Rock Cafe. Breakfast was good. Will definitely stay again when in Lisbon.

2.1

stanze sporche, biancheria puzzolente, e receptionist polizieschi.

6.9

muy centrico, habitacion limpia y amplia pero antigua. lo pero los colchones, al cabo de dos noches dolia la espalda. buena relacion precio-situacion

3.7

They have started a mega restoration of the building and now they have to make more money by charging customers the breakfast that according to venere.com voucher was included. Their new reception and restaurant gives you a very good - yet a little "kitsch" - impression, but as soon as you enter the elevator (which by the way doesn't have the internal door: you see the the floors going up and down when you're in and with bulky luggage it can be really dangerous) you see what this hotel is really made of. The rooms are very spacious but with old squeaky falling-into-pieces furniture. Breakfast is awful and costs a lot, you'd rather go to a bar and eat delicious local pastry. With the exception of two or three, personnel is unprepared and not welcoming at all, I was even given wrong tourism information and transportation directions. As said before, my venere.com voucher had "breakfast included" but the director od the property made me pay for it in a very unpolite way; according to him, at the moment of the reservation I had clicked on "twin room only", but to me this sentence doesn't say "breakfast not included" and I don't take the memory of this "click" with me, all I have when I travel is my printed voucher. Maybe it's a communication problem between venere.com and the property, but I wasn't happy at all by the way I was treated. The location is good but a little dangerous (we had a minor problem one evening) and nearby there's a strip club. And last but not least: although the description said wi-fi connection was available, there was nothing. Not recommended at all.

5.4

Well, cant really complain about the location - very close to the metro station and right where the elevator gloria starts. Other than that, I found the place pretty inconsistent. There was an extra bad stacked against the wall, I wanted a room for just myself and I got two disjointed single beds, the restroom was uninviting, and the view out of the window was not pleasant either. Some of these can be possibly attributed to the renovation work going on, and the price was excellent considering the location, but thats the only attractive thing about this hotel.

3.1

I understand that this hotel is in the middle of refurbishment, however I found the room very depressing and dark. I hated being in there. The room also smelled of wet dog. The corridor was also dark and had exposed electrical fittings which added to the general gloom. The bright marble reception betrays the rest of this hotel.

6.1

Rooms are really old and musty and smell of old wood but clean...bathrooms are also clean...they service your room every day if u want..the basic breakfast is nice and filling with really hard-working elderly ladies serving u...its right next to an elevator tram line which takes u upto a point where u get a wonderful view of lisbon...there's a shady peep show joint right opposite...but its located right in the heart of the old city with Hard Rock Cafe just 100 metres away and the nearest metro station a mere 2 mins walk...all in all, a satisfactory experience.

8.9

Siamo stati a lisbona per un w.e. lungo ai primi di giugno. la città e bellissima, e siamo stati soddisfatti dell'albergo. Posizione fantastica, a pochi metri dalla fermata del bus per l'aereoporto, dalla metro, dalla bella piazza del Rossio e dalla funicolare per la zona notturna del Barrio Alto. Colazione non memorabile ma OK . C'è il deposito bagagli. L'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo è dovuto però al fatto che abbiamo avuto una delle camere ristrutturate, che sono veramente belle, ma non saprei dire se chi ha avuto le vecchie sarà stato altrettanto contento. Quando sarà finito sarà assolutamente da consigliare !

5.5

The location is perfect for a fast connection to public transportation (the beautiful Restauradores square is two minutes on foot, with metro and bus). There are no other reason to choice it. Breakfast is humble. Rooms quite poor but clean Employees looked to me quite...annoyed by our staying there...typical portuges behavior i guess. For the same price you can find better location But...Lisbona is really really beatiful!

8.9

L'hotel è in pieno centro, vicinissimo a molti mezzi e comodissimo per esplorare al meglio la città. Le stanze sono "essenziali" ma pulite e tranquille; la colazione abbondante e neanche tanto male. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, consigliatissimo per chi intende usare l'albergo come base d'appoggio.

8.7

The Hotel is simple but the accomodations are good and the breakfast is better than others similars hotels that I've been in Lisbon. The location is excellent with an easy walking everithing in downtown Lisbon.The staff is competente but some of them seem not like give tourist informations. A simple question like how much is a bus ticket ? they answer I' don't Know and ignore you completely.Usually portugueses hotel employees are'nt so friendly. In general my stay in Suiço Atlântico was good and I'll be back again next time.

5.0

That was my first time. I think normaly people stay in this hotel. It is nessesary to renovate.

5.6

We chose this because the Time Out Lisbon guide claimed it was "quiet", despite the nearby area being "noisy and seedy", and requested a quiet room when we booked. However, our first night was spent in a first-floor room next to the funicular (Elevador da Gloria), which screeched its way down its rails until midnight, and from 06:30. Our window didn't close properly, so little sleep was had. Also, the room was so small that we could barely open the wardrobe next to the bed, and the whole thing was a bit grotty. When we asked the next day, the staff were very helpful, telling us to pack up our cases and they'd move them for us during the day, which they did. The new room was the furthest from the funicular, at the back, and two floors up ... but still noisy, with air-con pipes outside the window all night, noisy guests nearby and very thin walls :-( So after that we moved to the 3-star Lisbon Tejo (which I can't find on this site), on the advice of the Tourist Office -- €30/night more but well worth it, and a lovely place. Also, the Internet access wasn't working, and the TV in the lounge showed a pink image (only red and blue beams working, I think). We didn't try the breakfast. Oh and, as well as the funicular, there's a sex shop / strip club just round the corner! So, overall, if you're looking for something cheap with helpful service, and are a heavy sleeper (or plan to be out very late anyway :-), then it's worth a look given the price. Otherwise, find somewhere more comfy, I'd say.

9.2

The location of this hotel is excellent, having everything at walking distance. Although the facilities are not new, the hotel is very clean and the staff is kind so I will definetely come back in the future when going to Lisbon

8.9

This is an exceptional value hotel in a brilliant location in a great city. It is not the last word in luxury, but the rooms are clean, spacious and serviced daily. The breakfast is average. There is wireless internet access that needs to be paid for, but it worked perfectly in the room. The only downside is the slightly seedy sidestreet on one side of the hotel and the tram on the other that runs from 7am to midnight, but the latter is very handy for the Bario Alto. The hotel is perfectly positioned for the metro, buses and trams. You will not find a better value better positioned hotel in the heart of Lisbon.

4.2

The hotel was really very well located, but rooms are carpeted and small. Bathroom instalations were too old, giving a bsd impression. Seems though that´s the reallity os Lisbon hotels, ins´t it?

8.1

The hotel is really central , next to the elevador de la gloria . There are a llot to lace to eat around with different rice range . taking the elevador de la gloria tarda muy poco en here y esta hasta las 24hoo . there also a lot of place to get a drink or to eat they serve until late in the summer. and it s really nice . the hotel was quite good , as commented before everything is quite old ( seaking of decoration ) but really clean and taking for . The room is good and has a the bathroom has a bathtub :-). concerning the bed , the twin room is really twin, impossible to put them together :S. The best part is the location , can t be better :D

7.4

Very well located hotel. The staff was very friendly but our room was extremely small and noisy. The furniture needs to be replaced but I understand that the price was very convenient.

8.7

This hotel is nice for price. Location is really perfect

9.3

el hotel esta bien en relacion al precio.lo mejor de todo es la situacion.muy centrico,tienes parada de metro al lado y puedes ir caminando porque esta en muy buen lugar.las habitaciones son amplias aunque un poco antiguas.pero bueno para dormir y ducharte valen.la que nos toco a nosotros daba a un patio y habia mucho ruido era un poco molesto. si volviera repeteria. el personal del hotel muy amable.

9.0

nice staff, old but large and nice hotel

6.9

La stanza che ci hanno assegnato era veramente essenziale e con arredamento un pò antico. Dalla finestra si poteva vedere la funicolare Gloria, infatti l'hotel è situato vicinissimo alla funicolare e a praça restauradores, in pieno centro e con ogni comodità...metrò,stazione,turist office,negozi e ristoranti.... Il rapporto qualità prezzo è buono ma la cosa migliore è l'ottima ubicazione!

7.2

I've been in there for 5 days with my girlfriend. Initially we had booked just for 2 nights, but after the first day we booked for 3 more nights. It has been a perfect hotel, the only problem is that 54 euro a night is an expensive price compared to the other facilities that Portugal has to offer. In the same street we spent the last 2 days for 45 euro in a Residecial/Pensao. Anyway if you want to feel sure of having a place where to relax at your arrive Hotel Suico Atlantico an excellent choose.

7.5

a room toward interior is silent, don't know in the other side. very well located in central area. would reccomend for young people on low budget.

7.2

L'Hotel Suico Atlantico n'est pas d'un très grand confort. Les chambres sont très simples. On se croirait revenu dans les années 70. Le petit déjeuner est réduit à sa plus simple expression mais permet de commencer la journée du bon pied. En bref, je conseille cet hôtel car il est d'un bon rapport qualité/prix et surtout, car il présente l'avantage de se situer en centre ville, à proximité des principales attractions lisboètes. Enfin, j'oubliais ...n'oubliez pas d'aller faire un tour au bar de l'hôtel pour l'ambiance et surtout pour les cocktails (ils sont fameux et vraiment pas cher)!!!

8.2

I was very satisfied with the position of the hotel and with the quality of service. I was somehow disappointed by he absence of a fridge in the room.

6.1

Rooms were small but clean. The hotel is fine for a one night stop-over. I would not recommend the hotel for a longer stay. We stayed on a Saturday night mid July and outside the streets were extremely noisey until 5am. It was impossible to sleep.

5.5

The hotel has a prime location near Restauradores metro station and an aerobus stop. However, it is quite shabby and noisy. Our room was next to one of the fabulous old elevators, which are quite amazing and fun to ride, but make one hell of a racket when trying to sleep. The decor is dark and needs updating, the beds are not particularly comfy, and there is a large breakfast buffet and frankly what do you expect for €54 for a twin room in the centre of town.

8.8

Location is best (near station) Breakfast is good Every room has a bath-tub

8.7

much nicer than expected for budget price. very clean. can be very loud if travelling during warm months and windows are open. bring earplugs even if you are a heavy sleeper!

10

Great service. great price. great location. What stands out when you travel is the service you receive from the staff at the hotel that you stay at. These people are great, they are are helpful and honest. The room is clean and well located. For the price, you just can not beat the service. I thank the staff for all their help and kindness.

9.7

The lack of conditioned air made the room somewhat unconfortable; but otherwise this hotel would be my choice for Lisbon. Finding the hotel would be easier if you indicate "close to the Rua de Gracia ascensor". The breakfast in hotel is very convenient. The staff is very helpful.

9.1

The breakfast was included in price of room and I found very good and plentiful.All staff were considerate and helpful and I found the ability to place luggage in a locker room after checking out very good. Although I was unable to speak the local language there was no problem in communication. There were a mixed type of people at the hotel from many differemt countries and I would recommend the hotel. I had no problrm with a noise factor.

9.7

Great location, very central. We had a room on the fifth floor with a great view of the city. The breakfast is OK (which means terrible for a Norwegian, but OK considering every other hotel in this price range).

6.4

Posizione centrale tra P.zza Restauradores e Rossio Station per eascursioni a Sintra,Queluz e Capo da Roca.Modesto hotel con ottima posizione!

9.4

the most impressive thing of the hotel for me is their honesty. I forgot my money belt under pillow of the room, the cleaning lady found that and help me me to keep that until I came back to find that. this is what I would like to appreciate them.

5.8

My room is very noisy, in the night from garbage driver, sick persons and morning from the funicular.

6.0

Lack of A/C in rel. to noise from Tram/Elevador. (Vindows has to be closed at nigth)

7.8

Very well situated. All types of transport nearby. Very good price/quality.

9.8

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was excellent value for the money. Lisbon is a wonderful city and the Suico Atlantico was an excellent home base to explore the town. I will return and use this hotel again.

7.2

The hotel is very well located close to all kinds of transportation and one block from Ada. das Libertades. Funicular Da Gloria takes you to Barrio Alto in a few minutes. The hotel is a good value for the price and the breakfast is plenty. I enjoy the only day I stayed in, but I did not like the way they charge for phone calls, by pulsation, so you do not know exactly the amount of minutes of your call and if you do not connect the first time, the still charge by pulsation. So I do not think I will make a call if I would stay there next time. One reception employee needs more customer relations, he was unfriendly and cold when I asked questions about check out time and transportation to go to the train station. The other one was nice and the breakfast staff was very nice.

7.7

Spotlessly clean although decoration in public areas a bit dated and dark. Some street noise but excellent location. Recommended

8.6

Hôtel très bien situé, (métro/bus/gare), modeste mais de bon rapport qualité prix. Aucun problème

7.6

First impression of personnel at reception was quite unpolite. However that was improved later on. Clean rooms, although quite small abd bit noisy at early hours. Loacation absolutely great, train station near by and short walking to restaurant areas, shops etc. Breakwast was decent for the price - bread, ham, cheese, juice and coffe/tea. Hotel bar was interesting experience, long drinks on the list recommended; rarely get ful value for the money... I would recommend this hotel to anyone how is not too picky about accomodation rather location and prices. And I most lighthly would stay there again with my friends :)

5.3

I've been there for 3 nights and i hated!!! The room it wasn't a big deal and the noise from inside an outside during the night was horrible, i coudn't sleep for all 3 nights i've been there! When i arrived there i noticed i had a problem in a window, i call to the reception to tell the problem. I go out for a wall hopping when i can back the problem was solved and...it wasn't! They didn't fix the window and they hanven't said a word to me about that. The only good thing in this hotel is the location.

9.4

The hotel was as announced and promised, no bad surprises. Good choice for the price paid. It is not renovated, but clean. The breakfast is OK even if every morning the same one. Very good position downtown Lisbon!

9.1

everything was okay, but not the beds, it was we lay on the floor.... and all the beds at the hotels was same quality, we were told when i asked for another bed....

9.7

-quiet, clean, cheap, central... recommended!

7.8

Location is very good.

7.3

Fortunately, our room was not near La Gloria elevator, therefore, we didn't hear the noise. The welcoming was just polite, but the service was very good. Location was really good since it is very close to buses, subway and impotant squares (Restauradores, Rossio, etc). I would recommend it.

9.1

Clean rooms, good hot shower, perfect loacation, not particularly fancy but what would you expect at this price?! Would definitely stay here again.

8.6

It is located in the city center and near a metro station. Location is great except a sex shop on the way up to the hotel. Breakfast was so nice in comparison to price ( I loved the coffe and sweet bread !) And also room and bathroom was very clean. But due to cleaning trucks,it is quite noisy in the middle of the night. So I woke up a couple of times everynight.

7.3

Breakfast was included but was very poor! But we were not disappointed because the price of our room was so cheap! The staff at the breakfast room was very nice! The location of the hotel couldn't be better!! The beds were extremly hard to sleep in!!

7.1

The staff was not particularly friendly. The mattress was very soft, offering no back support at all. Otherwise, my stay there was brief, the location was excellent, breakfast was adequate, and the price was right for me.

8.5

In Portugal for two weeks and this was our first accommodation out of seven. For the money, this was excellent! Rooms are somewhat shabby, but clean. Location is excellent. Had some noise in the mornings from construction, but didn't start until 7 or so. Right on the funicular. Pleasantly surprised by the variety of people staying there - all ages and types it seemed. Actually loved the big double windows that we could open and look out over the street and buildings.

7.1

This hotel has a great location within walking distance to most sights and only a block from the train to Sintra. The rooms are dull and basic but clean enough. My biggest complaint would be the noise level. You can hear everything going on in neighboring rooms and in the hallway. We were on the 4th floor so we didn't hear the tram but the neighbors on a Saturday night were enough to prevent me from sleeping.

9.2

The hotel is excellent value for its position - so close to the station, metro, buses and elevator - and not too far to walk down to the main square. The rooms are clean and adequate and the beds are surprisingly comfortable; the breakfast is adequate but a little dreary; the public rooms are spacious. I would recommend the hotel to anyone who is looking for a convenient and inexpensive stay in Lisbon and wants easy access on foot or by public transport to art galleries, museums and good food.

5.3

Good location, but does get quite noisy sometimes. Really handy for seeing Lisbon/Sintra.

9.5

Walls are rather thin, but we had problems with other people in the hotel during only one of our 5 nights... The location is perfect, rooms are good. A very good choice, I think

9.5

Suiço Atlântico has realy suprised me. Competent staff & service, clean & comfortable rooms, excelent location and yes, they do have an elevator and heating system. Forniture and bathroom are a bit out of date but everything works perfectly and in my opnion is a kind of charming. I would definitively stay there again if on a budget trip.

4.8

On arriving we were met by a very friendly receptionist however when he wwent off duty his replacement was more like the devil...very rude, unhelpful and seemed bitter and resentful at having to do his job. That made us feel uneast and unwelcome. The hotel sort of reminds me of an old hospital or nursing home...the corridors have that weird particular smell... Rooms are standard...For 49 euro a night (including breakfast- which we didn't make)you get what you pay for. The rooms were a bit worn...but not dirty. Very minimal and dated but fresh clean sheets and clean bathroom. There was a chain on our door which was a little scary...needless to say we used it. We stayed there for a weekend of sightseeing so only used the room to sleep and shower...It served that purpose well. It is one of the best you will get for 50 euro. Location is fantastic - 5 minute walk up hill to barrio alto. Very handy. I would stay there again if on 50 euro budget but would try to save a bit extra to afford the next rank of hotel. Suitable for young people, friends travelling. Not very romantic for couples...

7.7

There was quite a bit of noise from trash lorries on few mornings at 5am otherwise ol.

10

This was an excellent choice;only a very short walk from the Restauradores bus stop, and very convenient for visiting Lisbon on foot. I'd been worried by the cheapness, but the room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast (included) was fine, and the staff were professional and friendly. Take the tram uphill just outside the hotel and eat at the Trindade brewery restaurant. As an introduction to the city,I would recommend the walking tour which starts daily on the Rossio square only a few minutes from the hotel.Also, don't miss a ride into the Alfama on the 28 tram - beats Disneyland, anyday! All in all, highly recommended.

7.9

convenience place.but something sexial shop closer. not new building but keep clean enough. breakfast is only 2 bread, sereal and drink.

9.4

Excellent hotel - with high value for money. It has a unique location, very friendly staff, clean quiet rooms (not modern or fancy in any way).

8.4

My second stay at this hotel. It is well located near the centre of Lisbon. Good value for money. Lack of internet access and printing is a pain in this day and age. My visit was over Xmas and new year and internet cafes were either closed or had no printing facilities. A real inconvenience. One member of staff was very helpful and friendly the others were not and need to have a better more helpful attitude. It lets down what is otherwise a good cheap hotel.

8.7

Now I stayed in the 4th floor and the room was much more better than the one in the 1st floor. In the 4th floor you don´t hear the Elevador da Glória, but in the 1st floor you surely know when the first Elevador starts early (very early...) in the morning.

8.6

i stayed in a single room,really clean as the bathroom,that was pretty small.kind people at the reception desk,good selection of food for breakfast:cheese,ham,corn flakes,hot and cold milk,chocolate,tea coffee,bread and jam.before check in or after check out possibility to leave your baggage in a special locked room

8.2

Good simple hotel, with an excellent location for visiting Lisbon. At the foot of the tram up to Barrio Alto and just off the main squares.

7.8

The hotel is very simple but clean. It's enough for sleeping and spending the all day outside. The breakfast is also very simple and not varied, the minimum to have something in the stomach and begin the day. In the room there are old windows which let the wind go inside.

9.4

Excellent location very short walk to the main square and restaurants. Metro station right outside. Easy to get to from the airport, airport bus stops right outside. Breakfast is a typical lite european affair don't expect bacon and eggs. Staff were helpful with tourist info. Beds were a little creaky but no major problem. Overall I would definately use again!!

8.2

Very good location, in the city centre and near public transportation.

9.3

Very well located in the centre of the city, next to metro and an elevator, in walking distance to all monuments in the center. Recomend it very much.

9.0

I liked the location (very near the center), our room was rather quiet, the breakfast was good enough and there were only two drawbacks. Firstly, the day we came the elevator was broken and our room was on the 4th floor and secondly, someone said in the comments it was the Avenida de Liberdade bus stop but in reality Restauradores stop is much closer and it's matters when you have heavy luggage.

7.3

Old Furniture, breakfast was OK for 2 stars, excellent central loaction. If you search for something cheap (I paid 39 euros for nigth for twin room with breakfast for two) in the center, this hotel is for you.

7.1

Great location.

9.4

I would certainly recommend this hotel to my friends in case they want to travel to Lisbon. It's so close to the city center. Also, very quiet and we had a beautiful view to the Sao Jorge castle.

8.1

chambres au 4eme étage très claires, vastes même à 3 lits, petits déjeuners très corrects bien que peu variés, bon accueil à la réception, bien qu'en anglais. Situation très interessante avec proximité à pied de l'essentiel du centre de Lisbonne.

7.4

hotel au centre de lisbonne ce qui a des bons (proche offiche du tourisme, bus pour l'aéroport, métro, restau....) et mauvais côtés(bruits des éboueurs, bruit des gens qui rentrent la nuit...). personnel parfois un peu sec mais généralement très agréable. hotel très propre et chambre et salle de bain spatieuses

9.2

Easy to find (thanks to Elevador Gloria), even arriving at midnight on bus from airport. Well located to tour city sights or take metro to suburban sights/train and bus terminals.

7.8

posizione ottimamle per raggiungere tutto. un po vecchiotto, ma pulito.ottimo qualità prezzo!!

7.4

Excellent location. Room ok. Bathroom poor. In city centre but quiet as off the main road. Good value becuase of location.

5.4

ottima posizione prezzo buono avrebbe bisogno di una ristrutturazione

8.1

WIFI access not operational

8.9

tres bon raport qualité prix

9.1

Hotel muito bem localizado e pessoal receptivo bastante atencioso e prestativo. Instalações antigas mas em perfeito funcionamento com quartos espaçosos proporcionando bom conforto.

6.8

This hotel has a great location, and for the price it's a good value, but the BEDS are very uncomfortable and the room is very small, with no ventilation or AC. I would recommend to spend a bit more, and to get a better hotel, it would make your stay in Lisbon much better.

6.8

Superb location right in the centre of the city, really good situation. Employees not so charming. Venere said the parking was included in the price but the hotel has no parking facilities. Overall we had a nice stay, the hotel is quite old but the rooms were very clean, the beds and very comfortable and as i said the location is fantastic.

7.3

The only negative comment I have from the hotel, is that the room had a very poor ventilation.

9.0

The location of the hotel was very convenient and we could walk to most of the places we wanted to go to, as well as there being a metro stop on the main square nearby and many buses. The front desk staff weren't exactly cheery, but they were willing and helpful. However, though we only had one coffee in the bar, the barman remembered us every time we passed, chatted with us, helped us find a cinema and always had a warm smile for us. One drawback was the beds - or perhaps it was the pillows - we awoke every morning with bad necks and general soreness. Others have complained about the breakfast, but aside from the watered-down OJ, I think it was fine for getting started and out the door. A bowl of cereal, a bun with butter and jam and as much coffee and tea as you could drink - what do you want? Bacon and eggs in Lisbon?

8.9

excellent 2 star hotel! Centrally located, at the bottom of Bairro Alto, off the Calçada da Gloria with its typical funicular. The hotel is clean and the rooms are big enough. Access to wifi is available (3 Euros an hour). It can be quite noisy as there is a pension just opposite the hotel which generally hosts young foreigners willing to party and shout late at night! I'd recommend this hotel especially for its location and its price (51 Euros for a double room). From airport, take the aerobus (efficient and cheap). Get off at the stop "Avenida Liberdade". The hotel is 2 minutes away on foot. Take the Calçada da Gloria (the picturesque street with the funicular). Don't be scared by the steep. Rua da Gloria (where the hotel is) is the first street on your right. You can't miss it as there is a huge sign (HOTEL SUIÇO ATLANTICO at the corner of the street.
