VIP Executive Zurique Hotel
4.1/568 Reviews

VIP Executive Zurique Hotel

Baixa Lisbon|2.8km from National Museum of Science & Natural History
My recent stay at the VIP Executive Zurique Hotel was acceptable. This hotel has so much potential, and some more attention in a few areas would go a long way in transforming this property to one of a higher quality. The service was excellent. Employees were all compassionate and professional. In addition, the food offered in the hotel’s restaurant was of high quality. Prices at the property were fair. From a value point of view, I expected a bit more. I paid €439 for my eight-day stay. In addition, dinner was expensive and extremely limited. More specifically, in terms of amenities, the hotel boasts a beautiful outdoor pool area. Unfortunately, it was often overcrowded and littered with garbage. More attention to detail would remedy these issues. Wifi was available, but weak in certain parts of the hotel. A bar is located in the lobby, but opens late and closes early in the evening, making it inaccessible. The gym was closed during my time here. That was also unfortunate, as images and descriptions on websites were misleading. I stayed in an Executive Single Room during my week here. The room itself was contemporary and updated, however, housekeeping was inconsistent. Some days, my room was cleaned impeccably, others, housekeeping was abysmal or nonexistent. Towels oftentimes had rips or stains on them. The curtains had small rips and were stained. In addition, one of the blankets was stained. The provided toiletries were good. The bed itself was comfortable, but the pillows were very poor quality. The hotel did not specially publicize a smoking policy. Oftentimes, the corridors reeked of smoke. Cigarettes littered the pool deck and common areas in the hotel. Staff worked hard to keep surfaces in the lobby disinfected, however, their efforts were undermined by thousands of guests utilizing these areas. I do believe the hotel is understaffed. The hotel would benefit from having maintenance and housekeeping readily available and on call for assistance. When I necessitated maintenance, I was told I would have to wait for the following morning when the technician would be available. While the rooms were updated and contemporary, the bathrooms were rundown. The hotel shows it’s apparent age on the exterior, and in the elevators. Some surfaces were cracked and not functional. I experienced difficulties in the elevators. They stopped working at times, leaving me stuck. Again, better maintenance would remedy these concerns. The location of the hotel is a positive. It is surrounded by transit options that provide direct links to cities all across the country. This is ideal for all visitors. Overall, the hotel served it’s purpose. I do believe the hotel is ill equipped to handle the high volume of guests that stay here. Housekeeping is marginal, and must be improved. Maintenance needs to pay closer attention to the aging property. Finally, security here is lacking. I have some concerns as it pertains to safety. Front desk staff has no control over people

Casa de Sao Mamede Hotel

Baixa Lisbon|0.18km from National Museum of Science & Natural History
This is a lovely hotel.  Great location.  I managed to walk to most places which saved money on transport. Close to restaurants, tourist attractions and the metro Rato (yellow line).  There isn't a supermarket too close.  The nearest one is maybe a fifteen minute walk which was fine.  Very clean hotel.  Staff were all so friendly, super helpful and nice.  Room was big and spacious.  Nice comfortable big bed, hot water, safe, complimentary toiletries as well as tea and coffee making facilities.  I couldn't fault it.  It was like staying in a grand house.  Like stepping back in time.  Take a look at the decor and furniture.  Very secure and safe.  No lift.  Checking in and out was quick and easy.  I only had breakfast on the last morning there.  I normally don't like hotel breakfasts and prefer to go out and try different things but I have to say this was good.  Not huge but enough options.  Lovely.  There were scrambled eggs, cold meats and cheeses, some pastries, fresh fruit, cereals, breads, orange juice as well as tea and coffee.  The chocolate cereal was yummy!  Very clean too.  A few small negatives.  It can be a bit noisy outside as the hotel is located on a main road (depends where your room is) but this did not bother me.  There was a funny smell in the room like a drain or something.  I couldn't figure it out.  As I said the hotel and room were very clean.  When you shower, even if you put the water on a lower temperature, the bathroom really steams up.  They need some ventilation.  Other than that, highly recommend.  Lisbon is not a cheap city for accommodation and this is a very good option to be close to everything.  I was out all day.  I came back late at night to sleep, shower and then off again the next morning to do the same thing!  This was perfect for my needs and great to come back to in the evening.

Casa do Principe

All somewhat nostalgic but extremely much charm. This pension is located in the middle of the old town, our room had view of the park. The reception in the 1.Etage....zu reach through an adventured, film-renewed chair, was very nice and uncomplicated. Our room was large light and equipped with almost all the facilities. The bathroom is small and spartanic ....probably built afterwards. Breakfast was classic and good without much snack snack but always fresh. I had hurt myself through the Ishias nerve so a visit to the hospital was needed. Also in this situation, I was helped quickly and uncomplicated so that I could continue my holiday. Here again, thank you very much to the staff of the reception for your help. We have enjoyed it here very much and we will certainly come back.
The Vintage Hotel & Spa – Lisbon

We went with our 6 week old baby and left our other 2 (5years old and 2years old) back in UK with my parents. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and having a bit of luxury again. Our short stay in Lisbon was great and it was made even better with The Vintage hotel who were always so helpful, accommodating and friendly. I’d like to add I usually miss my bed when we go away but at The Vintage I didn’t - it was so comfy!
Hotel Ibis Lisboa Liberdade

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room had a decent size, it was clean and the bed was comfy. Water pressure in the shower was on the weak side but ok. The location is good, not in the heart of the touristy area but close enough, it was quiet at night and you have 2 metro stations and bus stops nearby, we walked to most places. Breakfast is a bit limited but has enough options and decent coffee, plus you can make your own natural orange juice which was really nice. The window is smallish but we had a nice view, thanks for that!. The things I did not like so much were the lack of kettle/minifridge in the room, which I knew of, and the hairdryer, which is one of those fixed to the wall, not very handy to use and very slow. I'd rather have a normal one on deposit. None of that is a deal breaker and I would stay again there and recomend to friends.

Clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Breakfast was nice. Great coffee. The room was a good size. This is good value for money. I’d stay here again and recommend for others. About a 15 minute interacting walk to Fado Houses and Barro Alto

We stayed for 3 nights. We got upgraded to a bigger room with a beautiful view. The staff was amazingly kind and helpful, the room was clean and there was maid service every day. The breakfast was rich and delicious with plenty of choices to fit all tastes. The location is really good, close to restaurants and bars and a 8 minutewalk to train station. Overall, it made our stay a great experience.
