Holiday Inn Lisbon Continental

I shouldn’t complain about this hotel since I was staying in a huge executive room for free. I was benefiting from one of their earlier promotion : two stays within a specific period, one free night.
Great but… I can’t stop thinking this chain is trying to play in a higher league they want to afford. They are trying to make the room look luxurious while it is indeed quite cheap!
Same thing for the clerks, they were acting really professional but not friendly at all!
The hotel itself is just another tower in a dull business area. This is pretty far from the “center” but close to Campo Pequeno and its metro stations.
At least, the room was big, with my own personal salon, I had more space I would ever need!
The bed was comfortable, but even if the bathroom was huge, I still had to take my shower in a bath tub, I hate that!
Wireless internet was available with iPass from external providers in range.
I hope this is slightly more lively during the week, I was spending a Saturday night and the hotel looked completely deserted.

Directions: walking distance from the Entrecampos and Campos Pequenos metro station

Unique Quality: There is a small roof top pool that is a lovely place to relax and get away from the noise of the streets. The price was good but our room was a bit small so it may be worth asking about rooms with King size beds or twins. We felt our double was really only big enough for one person if you’re staying more than a few days.
