Hotel with a pool.
I just actually returned from a trip to Lisbon and am not sure if depending on your travel date to there this information would still serve any purpose to you.
Try and check out the V.I.P. Hotel Eden on Praca dos Restauradores by the sprawling Avenida da Liberdade in the lower part (Baixa district) of Lisbon. It's a self-catering apartment hotel framed by a massive remnant of a neo-classical facade, it's got a medium-sized pool right atop with magnificent views of the castle and of the city. The hotel itself is just at the bottom part of hilly section as you climb up to Bairro Alto. The funicular elevator (Elevador da Gloria) is conveniently located just outside the hotel to its side which transports both locals and visitors alike up to Bairro Alto and back down. The main tourist office is also right next door housed in the elegant Palacio da Foz where you can get maps and answers to practically all your questions about Lisbon and Portugal. Happy trails.
Unique Quality: Medium-priced self-catering apartment hotel on the convenient Baixa section of Lisbon, with swimming pool upon its rooftop commanding fantastic views of the castle and the city.

Central location makes it ideal
We stayed here on the recommendation of my sister Mazzap and we were pleased with the choice. The room we had was a little on the small side but there was a small kitchen, a good sized bathroom and it was quiet. The hotel itself is an old theatre and the facade has been retained. It is easy to find and the airport bus stops right outside!
We had the buffet breafast on one of the days and this was good with a good choice of cold meats, cheese, yoghurts etc.
Unique Quality: It's central location makes it the ideal place to stay.
The roof top views are brilliant. There is a very small pool which we did not use but it is there if you want it. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great views, but a bit soulless
If you like your privacy, you'd probably really like this hotel: it has that formality and aloofness of a posh hotel. It has great views from the roof and a pool and you can have breakfast here. The rooms are clean and modern.
Apart from the views, though, I did feel I was staying in a battery chicken factory. There's no character to the rooms, and it didn't feel welcoming.
Unique Quality: We much preferred the Grande Pensao Alcobia.
Are there 2 hotels with similar names being reviewed here? I don't recognise the pink building in the photos above.

A Perfect Location
A great hotel in a near perfect location! Very reasonable rates at €60 per night for a double room. Ask for a front facing room with a good view but not right at the top as the view is then obscured by part of the facade that forms the front of the building.
Breakfast can be purchased separately for just €5 per person though we didn't have this as we had read several reviews saying it was not that great. But for the price it would be ok if you are on a budget as it was a buffet! There is a lovely rooftop terrace with a coffee bar (where breakfast is taken) & even a small pool! Compact but a lovely panoramic view from the few seats & sunbeds!
Helpful & informative staff at the front desk.
The 75 studios & 59 two bedroom apartments have fully equipped kitchenettes (including a dishwasher!) & every other conceivable appliance that you could imagine in an appartment! The vacuum cleaner was a bit shy & didn't come out of the cupboard while we stayed here ;-) Our room was clean, quiet & very comfortable. The heating worked well! Bring your cd's as there is a cd player in the room too!
Our only complaint was that the age of the rooms was just beginning to show - all the furnishings were fine but the walls are probably due for a repaint & a bathroom tidy-up soon.
Unique Quality: This impressive building was originally a theatre built in a neoclassic Art Deco style, & later used as a cinema. It was converted in 1996 to the actual Aparthotel Vip Eden for which it was awarded by the Portugese Government "The best urban renovation project" & "The best tourism Project in Portugal".
Perfect location for airport drop-off & pick-up as the inexpensive & frequent airport bus (#91) picks up directly outside the airport door & stops literally outside the hotel door - a taxi would be a complete waste of money!

HOTEL ROBBERY!!!
I stayed at the VIP Eden in late August . On the 3rd day of my stay, my room was burglarized in the afternoon while my friend and I were out sightseeing. We returned to the hotel at around 7:30pm to find our clothes all over the floor, my luggage slashed open (b/c it was locked) and my friend's luggage missing. The room was locked when we got back and did not show any signs of forced entry. The woman at the front desk seemed sympathetic but said there was nothing she could do nor was there a security guard I could talk to.
Luckily, most of our valuable possesions were with us at the time of robbery like passports, digital cameras, etc.. The thieves mysteriously left behind a few items that did not belong to us like a Dutch magazine and phone number written on a piece of paper. I told the front desk we'd be checking out after we returned from the police which was located just two doors down from the hotel.
When we told the police officer about the strange "clues" left in the room, he said that thieves do that on purpose to confuse people & it sounded like they were experienced.
Ok, here's the best part. By now it's 10pm and we're at the front desk checking out, with several garbage bags in tow carrying all our stuff. The woman behind the desk wants to charge me for that night because we're checking out after 6pm! I couldn't believe it. We got into it and I reiterated how we were just robbed through no fault of our own at this hotel with no security. At one point in our argument, she actually said (referring to thieves) "well that's what they do!" Really? Thanks for the fyi. The problem is not yet resolved. My credit card company is disputing the third night charge on my behalf.
Anyway, I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. As careful as I was about everything I'd heard about crime in Lisbon, you just can't anticipate something like this. If you can afford it, spend the extra money to get a better hotel, or choose somewhere else.

Re: Quality Of Aparthotels in Lisbon
I don't know any inside but i can tell you about location...
Orion Eden - It's an old building all reconstructed ( it was first a Virgin store), is very well locate, near central plaza (Rossio), near the tourist office,near the castle, Bairro Alto, a lots of transportation, subway in front etc should be good...
Real Residência Suite Hotel, is more far from centre, far from subway, if you want to explore city don’t go for this one, should be more quiet place…
Clarion Suites Lisboa, don’t have subway in front you have to go down( and then up) to Marques de Pombal, but it is in a road where are the best hotels in Lisbon, like Ritz... it is good anyway.
To access by foot to the historical part of city better the first one in Praça do Restauradores.
need more info write.
