Hotel Acta Moa- New Opening
The hotel was close to the airport, clean, comfy bed, courteous Staff, very good breakfast buffet, and affordable. I thought the location was going to be in the downtown area close to cafes, restaurants, stores, etc...but it was not.

Locke de Santa Joana
Really liked the separate seating area with kitchenette and laundry. Courtyard, bar and pool looked great, but not really warm enough to enjoy them. Good location. Close to metro. We enjoyed our stay.

Very nice hotel with everything you would want for your stay. Breakfast had a lot of variety. Lunch from the bar menu was delicious also. Great location. Train station is a 15 minute walk. Uber is abundant and reasonably priced also. Will stay again.

Corinthia Lisbon
The property was beautiful and the on site restaurants were some of the best we visited in Lisbon. The Spa was even more beautiful than expected and we are already looking forward to returning.
