Amazonia Lisboa Hotel: Decent Hotel Option in Lisboa
Satisfaction:
Updated By sunchasers on August 28, 2007
This is a pretty good hotel option in Lisbon's Rato district (about a 5 min bus ride to Barrio Alto or 15 min walk). If you book directly though the hotels website, you get a much cheaper rate. We got one of the suites. Although a bit dated, for the price, you get a great view of the city, with all of Lisbon and the castle in view. It was also very quiet, the room was like a mini apartment, with sofa and open 'living room' area.
Full Breakfast (lot of variety) Parking Garage View
I booked this 3*** hotel through Internet and got a promotional price (70 Euros per night for a double room in May). The room was sufficiently large and clean. The bathroom had a tube, a sink and a bidet. The satellite TV had 50 channels + some pay TV. The breakfast was a complimentary buffet but the quality was low though it had a large range of food (ham, cheese, toasts, fruits, marmelade, etc).
The hotel would be quiet if it was not invaded by tourists groups, expecially a French one, very noisy (as usual). It has a restaurant but closed on Saturday and Sunday : odd idea no ? The pool is tiny (look at the picture). The location (Travessa da Fabrica dos Pentes) is at 4 blocks from Avenida da Libertade (the local Champs Elysees) and from Eduardo VII Park. The nearest metro and bus stations are in RATO 10 min walk. But be aware if you go there with a heavy suitecase : the streets are sloping.
