Hotel Vip Diplomático - Lisbon

9.3

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice, clean room with a small balcony and views of Lisbon.

9.4

Excellent "old-school" hotel in the best meaning! Nice furniture, good location, very best price/quality ratio. Beautiful view from our room at the 8th floor to the whole city. Highly recommended!

9.1

The only thing: the bathroom was not a 4 stars. ok the rest of the room

9.3

I had never seen an hotel with that characteristics at that price....wonderful!!!

7.7

great locality. very old hotel, it needs a renovation. 4 stars? never!!!

9.2

Excellent quality of services and facilities offered and great competence of employees who are always willing to help. Their speaking several languages is definitely a plus.

8.7

This is a very good, clean and friendly hotel with excellent price/quality ratio. It is very conveniently located in the immediate vicinity of the metro and bus stations. Employees are highly competent and will help guests in almost everything. It will probably not satisfy those looking for brand new pristine hotels and rooms, but this hotel has its years as well as dignity. Breakfast is not included in the price but hotel is surrounded by a number of typical portuguese snack bars and restaurants that offer cheap and delicious cuisine.

7.9

l'albergo pulito ed in ottima posizione.anche se non è nel barrio alto come riportato. è cmq in posizione centrale ed ottimamente servito. l'unico neo i bagni molto piccoli ma in compenso puliti. il personale efficente e gentile. nel complesso un ottimo soggiorno che ci sentiamo di cosigliare!

9.5

the hotel maybe is not the newest, but it is very clean, the bed fantastic, no noise and the employer very very kind good expirence p

7.3

The room was spacious, clean and had a view over some trees, the castle which was illuminated at night and a small stretch of the river. The hotel is a little faded and would only be 3 stars now not 4. The only negative was the reception staff. All except one guy, were cold, unfriendly and very quickly made us feel like we were a major imposition rather than paying guests. We had to return the key to them each time we left the hotel otherwise we would have avoided them at all costs.We stayed for 6 nights and it was the same every day. It was very surprising because any cleaning ladies we met in the corridor smiled, nodded and said hello!

8.4

Siamo state in questo hotel per una settimana e è stata un'esperienza molto significativa e speciale. Lo consigliamo vivamente. Ciao!

8.4

I think the hotel has seen its glorious days a few decades ago and even though they rate it with 4 stars it is more likely to be just 3 stars nowadays. Easy and quick access from the Marquês de Pombal square is a plus. Staff was quite polite but not too talkative and did not smile too much either, which is quite typical in Portugal even today sad to say.. I had a nice and very interesting conversation about the portuguese people and the language aspects with the bartender in the lobby bar one evening.

8.5

The hotel was as described, it is rather old but maintains features of a 4 star hotel. It is very near the metro station and has a number of cozy cafes very near. Also very near is the bus stop for the sightseeing buses. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall we did not encounter any problems, everything was as anticipated

5.1

While the staff spoke fair English, they seemed irratated most of the time when dealing with us. Thought it was a language register problem, but people were quite friendly in other areas. Hotel is quite old, would have appreciated an 'authentic' feel, but many things needed updating for a four star hotel.

8.4

We were at this Hotel for 3 weeks. It was very clean and the room was quite large. Some of the staff were not too welcoming. The location is good, as it's a few blocks away from the higher priced & noisy tourist area. We found the city was the same as the Hotel 'nice, clean and tidy but not too welcoming'.

3.6

El personal es muy antipático, y no es cierto que tengan parking, hay muy pocas plazas y siempre están ocupadas, y aunque haya libres, te siguen diciendo que está ocupado, y además con muy malos modos.

8.1

stanza accogliente e silenziosa (904). non avevamo prenotato il parcheggio che era al completo ma abbiamo trovato posto fuori dell'albergo senza pagare nulla perchè era nei gg di sabato e domenica. nelle immediate vicinanze mancano ristoranti e supermarket ma la metro in place de pombal ti porta in centro dopo 2 fermate. mezzi pubblici ok.

9.6

The room is very comfortable. The breakfast is very good. It is located very close to the metro station and the bus stop of the bus from/to the airport. I definitely would stay here again.

9.1

Nice 60ies style hotel, close to the city centre and Parque Eduardo VII. Clean rooms with nice balcony view over Baixa and Tejo.

8.7

tres bien placer juste a coté du metro POMBAL pour visiter LISBOA meme a pieds pour aller au centre 15min

7.2

The hotel is a fair walk or a bus ride from the historic centre, so if you plan to stay for an evening downtown, I would recommend a more central location. On the map it looked a lot closer. It is off the main road, so print a detailed map, we had a bit of a problem finding it, but I suppose at least it is a quiet location. The hotel is very dated and the staff tries to be helpful, but seem to be tired of their job. The bed was very hard, but that is the trend in Portugal. The dated plugs fried my computer charger and I was left without a computer for the rest of the vacation, so be careful. There is a computer with internet access in the lobby, but it is not free. The hotel was cheap, so a good deal, but I would have stayed in the historic district, if given the chance again. THERE IS NEVER FREE PARKING AT THIS HOTEL, it is always full, we checked repeatedly. There are no good restaurants near by. The one the staff sent us to was almost the most expensive meal we had in Portugal and the food was just ok.

7.4

Holyday

4.3

The hotel is not a four stars hotel. It's just a three stars hotel. And the breakfast is not included!! You have to pay too much for it.

10

Hôtel très bien situé dans le centre de Lisbonne. Les chambres sont très spacieuses et propres. Le personnel accueillant et efficace. Quartier très agréable, à proximité de la principale avenue. La plupart des quartiers se visitent à pied. Pour les sites un peu pus éloignés, le bus est très pratique et l'arrêt est à 200m de l'hôtel. Le rapport qualité/prix est excellent.

4.9

The employees were evidently annoyed from the fact that we had an Internet discount rate. They made us pay the Pay TV (13€!!!)even if it wasn't indicated anywhere in the room that it had to be payed.

8.2

Hotel well located, good rooms, excellent breakfast,clean,quiet, friendly good cocktails inbar, stayed 3 days 2 nights great trip would go back to hotel again

3.8

free parking in this hotel never, never, never, always full.. the service bad. hotel normally

3.4

very noisy because it´s an old building and the rooms do not have sound isolation well located but small and old room

5.2

The front desk was not able to reduce the booked rate according to the lower rate on arrival day 87€ -> 60€ per night!! Thus we had to pay 54€ too much for the stay!!

9.1

Nice hotel with a friendly staff. Not too close to all the sites. You need to do a little walking (15 minutes) to get down to the old part of town. Restaurants are not close. A good value if you do not mind being a little distance from things.

9.3

we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return in the spring of '08

6.5

Good location however not as close as we first thought. it is necessary to get a bus to the city centre howevere there is a good and frequent bus service! We had a problem on our final day and i have to say i was not impressed at all with the way the hotel staff treated us, as the problem was not of our own cause!!! Bad atmosphere in the hotel, only good part was the breakfast, hotel was very old fashioned! glorified bed and breakfast!!! Suited to a mature couple, definately not for a family with young children!!

7.2

The hotel is located close to the metro station,Marques de Pobal.So this is very convinient.Lisboa is small town so you can go anyware in the city town easily.

5.9

Super-zentrale Lage, akzeptables Frühstück, Hotel und Zimmer bieten 70er-Jahre-Charme und bedürfen einer Renovierung. Hervorzuheben ist die Sauberkeit des Zimmers

7.0

...un hotel un pò vecchio..ma comunque comodo per la posizione...l'unico fastido è dovuto dal fatto che l'area di parcheggio gratuito è minima quindi bisogna lacsiare le chiavi in reception se si vuole evitare di essere svegliati per spostare la macchina.

8.0

Albergo in posizione centrale, vicino la metropolitana e fermata dei taxi. Rapporto qualità prezzo buona. Molto carine le stanze da letto, ma i bagni lasciano un pò a desiderare...puliti, ma un po vecchi e piccolini. Sebbene a parer mio non sia proprio da 4 stelle, è un'ottima soluzione per visitare Lisbona!!!!!

9.0

Location is a bit far from the restaurants/bars in Barrio Alto but very close to bus station and airport(E10 to airport). Excellent restaurant nearby called Restaurant 33. Other guests tend to be young travelers (post-college) which is nice for those looking to meet others.

9.2

Excellent value for money; service was great, room was spacious and hotel location allright. Also the buffet breakfast was good; not "big" but there was everything and it was fresh and tasty. Only minus was a sound of heavy coughing from the room next to us which disturbed a bit our sleep. Next time we come to Lisbon we'll stay here again.

8.9

Front desk was very helpful and speak English well. You are made to feel welcome and comfortable. Security is good. The complementary breakfast is very good.

9.3

Short way to town center. No noice at all from outside and other rooms Very good service We payed 65 euro pr. day, very good price

10

an excellent hotel, very strategically located for sight-seeing. Lobby well maintained, rooms spacious and clean, an excellent buffet breakfast priced at 8 euros. Metro and mini supermarket conveniently located. Would certainly recommend this hotel to all categories of travellers.

7.8

The accommodations are reasonable. The nice thing about this hotel is the proximity to the Metro, which then connects you to any other part of the City

8.0

Very nice hotel. Staff is willing to help. Very good breakfast. I recommend it.

9.3

50 year old

5.8

the room provided was certainly not up to the standards of the hotel

8.9

Diplomatico is well positioned relative to Metro buses or even walking to city centre Proximity to park and other sights made it a good base for our group of four couples.

8.2

It's a fine hotel near the center of the town.

8.0

Need some refreshment but excellent price for a 4 stars hotel. Not really in the center but close from Metro. Not many restaurants in the surroundings,

8.3

Very nice och familiary bar. Perfect hotel for a short weekend trip.

8.8

Excellent location for Metro or walk to centre of city or Bairo Alto. Airport bus within 8 minutes walk from Hotel (€3 each way). Be prepared for hills when walking - but that's the only way to see a city! Make sure you take a complete trip on the 28E tram. Absolutely brillient! Lisbon your a lovely city!

8.7

We were there over Xmas and it was a great time. Although the Hotel did not organise nothing on Xmas-night they offered us other restaurants were we could have Xmas diner.That is very dificult as most restaurants are closed or fully booked on xmas-night. We also had a nice xmas present from the Hotel, in the room, nice botle of Port and a typical portugues xmas cake. Very friendly and on a good location.

8.1

Excellent location! Very friendly staff. Hotel quite old but with charm and clean.

9.4

Excellent location and the best service from its employees

8.7

Preiswertes Hotel mit guter Anbindung in die City (zu Fuß 0der 2 U-Bahn-Stationen), freundlicher Service, Rezeption hat uns einen günstiges Mietwagen vermittelt, der zum Hotel gebracht und dort abgeholt wurde, reichhaltiges Frühstück. Hotel kann bedenkenlos weiter empfohlen werden. Einziger Nachteil: Zimmer sind etwas hellhörig.

7.9

The hotel location was excellent for seeing Lisbon. Certainly central enough to access public transportaion but not right on a main street so it was still quiet. The staff are not very friendly or helpful for english speaking guests, nor do they try to provide an exceptional experience. However, the rooms were very clean and reasonably priced, no reason not to stay there if I returned.

5.8

Relationship between price/quality very low: that means low price over high quality. While the relationship between quality/price is very high! My room was excelent except its carpet, very old and "fané" The position in the city is quite right: close to Metro and Avenida Libertade. Few minutes from the room to the Rossio or the Brasileira. In a word: I surely come back to Diplomatico the next time I am in Lisboa and I'll suggest it to all my friends.

7.3

Good hotel and very good relationship price quality!! Raccomanded

10

Excel hotel. Perfect situation to visit the city. Reception and services of great quality, type of a large hotel 4 French stars. Spatieuse room, Internet at disposal free in the hall, large protected carpark, personnel speaking several languages. We cordially recommend this hotel to you to discover Lisbon.

9.7

Great hotel; great price. Everyone was kind.

9.7

Un hotel qui a l'air un peu vieillot à l'extérieur, mais qui en réalité est très confortable, ultra bien entretenu, avec un personnel disponible, un petit déjeuner succulent et copieux, et même un petit balcon dans la chambre... et tout ca, à deux pas des transports en commun dans un endroit calme.

4.8

The hotel charged me twice the price of the room to the credit card. I am trying to get the money back.

9.7

A wonderful hotel to stay in. Quiet location. Well mannered and English speaking staff.

9.9

a detail: too little row of pegs in the wardrobe

8.1

This hotel is up a very steep hill near the cities main circle. As such you save some money but you also get a hotel that is a bit less then you might expect for 4 stars. Would guess the hotel was built in the 50s.

9.8

The shower was bad.No pressure at all, but as we stayed on the 9th. floor it was the reason. That`s the only thing to complain about. The Breakfast was quite good, toppers I would say.

8.2

On arriving the foyer looks impressive but when shown room it was a bit of a dissapointment, it looked tired, beginning to need a revamp, espesially the bathroom, very quiet though, breakfast good, would have used the restaurant but it was closed, so can't comment, walked down road to another hotel and had a superb meal there, not telling you which one you will have to find out yourself! Overall would use again.

9.2

I loved the competence of employees

9.5

Excellent rapport qualité prix, l’hôtel est très bien situé. Le petit déjeuné continental coûte 6.5 eurs. Il est très bon et très fournit. Si je dois retourner à Lisbonne je reprendrai cette hôtel.

10

Hotel vraiment agréable, bien situé et calme. Accueil irréprochable et des chambres très agréables avec télévision cablée, frigidaire et baignoire. Propreté irréprochable.

6.4

A decent enough Hotel. The tube is close by so no real problem in getting into the city centre. Staff were competent but could have been more welcoming on arrival. Otherwise, no real problems.

7.4

Wanted double bed, got a twin, but no biggie. 15 minute walk from downtown center or 250 meters from nearest metro (underground). Nice area, with lots of other hotels, near a park and a few big shopping centers nearby. We did not eat at the hotel, so I have no idea of the quality of breakfast. (There was a McDonalds a few hundred meters from the hotel though :) No wireless connection as far as I could tell. Slightly worn down hotel, not the "finest" or "best" 4 star hotel I've seen, but if you plan on exploring and enjoing Lisboa instead of staying all day in your hotel, I would recommend it due to it's low price. If you are sensitive to sound, you should probably avoid the 9th (top) floor due to the elevator engine and general cable noise.

8.5

Very naice hotel with large rooms located in the center og Lisboa.

7.3

It is difficult to access to the street of the hotel (not well indicated) and to park a car in this part of Lisboa. Parking facilities would have been appreciated. Best Regards, A. AMI

7.8

The hotel was very clean, well serviced and close to the metro and airport. Although the photos are slightly misleading, although the hotel is well kept it is quite dated. Overall a very pleasant stay in a lovely area and amazing city.

9.8

Excellent hôtel

7.2

At first the clark was not friendly. He asked us about passport and credit card without a welcome.

9.9

it was a beautiful room, we spent a magical week-end, so this hotel and his crew has contributed to make it magic. the employees were very gentle.

7.9

A little bit "old fashioned" (need some restructuring and technological updating), but very good quality/price ratio.

9.6

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The coconut rolls at breakfast were to die for! The rooms on the 9th floor have large balconies. I would definitely stay here again.

7.6

Beautiful hotel, but the employees spoke almost only Portuguese!

8.1

Very spacious rooms and furnishings which gave character better than the standard type and were good value for money. Slight antiquity of bathroom fittings but perfectly adequate

8.2

Nice big rooms with excellent facilities and lots of extra plugs. Good value for the price. Also nice and quiet although in the middle of town

8.2

Spacious rooms with amenities. Air conditioning was excellent. Very good value.

8.1

We arrived much earlier than we expected very early in the morning (6am) after a long overnight trip. The staff were very helpful and when the day manager came in at 7am we were given the keys to our room, we had expected to have to come back much later so it was very helpful. The rooms were a good size and clean and we had great views over the city from our balcony and the hotel was only a 10 minute walk into the heart of town. Would stay there again.

8.7

Venere offer a very simple way of immediate reservation, The room was very spacious. No bad suprise between internet content and reality.

4.4

cannot recommend, rooms are too noisy and hotel a bit worn out ....

8.8

Quality was almost the same as I had expected. Reasonable level as a four star hotel, in its location, rooms and service. The most attractive point was the price compared with the quality. It might be the charm of Portugal itself. I stayed three nights with my family. We all enjoyed the trip.

6.5

The hotel is central,noisy location , very cosy inside with welcoming staff. The hotel is small, small rooms ,clean and clean rooms. No leasure facilities as for four stars hotels. It is recommended for people who intent to stay for short period as transient . The dining room staff must be more welcoming with costumer orientation.
