Vip Grand Lisboa Hotel & Spa

Not a 5 stars Hotel at all! The location is near to the Metro but nothing to see around the area.
In order to get to the center, you must take a public transportation or pay for the open roof buses which are complicated and expensive.
By Metro takes 15 min (taking into account walk and wait too). You take the Yellow Line, and then get off on Marquez to tale the blue line and get off on Rossio (important: the Rossio and the Reconstruction station are the same). Each way 1.30 € or 6 € for the 24 hours ticket. The station is open from 6am to 7pm.
You can also take the AirBus very near the Hotel, which is like a regular bus but with a route thought for tourist. This bus takes you right to Rossio and cost 3.50 € for 24 hours ticket. This bus is every 25 minutes.
If fits your budget, book an hotel at the Rossio Area which is the Antique Zone, and most beautiful.
The Metro/​Bus station for the Hotel is Campo Pequenho. All transportation go through this station.
The breakfast at this Hotel is 20 € (!!!), super expensive! However,
You can ask for an electric kettle at the reception (the room does not offer one but it is by request only) and buy things for breakfast at a 4 blocks supermarket. We asked for plates, forks, knives and cups downstairs at the bar.
You might have lunch and dinner out in the city although around the hotel you would find less expensive meals. Per person might be around 9 € for a chicken breast/​salmon, salad, rice and potatoes + water.
The rooms are good but nothing amazing! In our case, the control remote did not work, the TV did not have Spanish channels and we had problems with the sink (water dis not go down).
The pool is nice, it is open from 8am to 8pm, the water is cold and there is sun until 4pm. Getting to the pool is like a joke, you must go down to the reception, from there take a different elevator to floor number one and then another elevator to P. Towels you ask at the reception.
There is wi-​fi but very bad reception at the rooms. Very good reception at the pool and reception.
For the spa you must pay. As an example, massage were 80 € per hour.
The staff is very nice, but the whole experience was not pleasant.

Nice stylish hotel but not a 5 stars ! I was looking for a stylish and modern hotel within my budget and I found a deal 4 nights for 325 € via
for a surprise vacations in Lisbon last minute. Concerning the location, it’s in downtown Lisbon but not near the Old town (Chiado/​Alfama/​Bairro Alto) you will have to take the subway/​bus or a taxi to go there. The hotel is about 2 minutes walk from ‘Campo Pequeno’ subway station. From the airport take bus #744 (around 20 minutes) or even the subway from there to reach the hotel. When you arrive in the lobby, it looks modern and nice. But I cannot consider it as a 5 stars because I stayed before in 5 stars hotels and I was able to tell the difference… They try to copy, a version for example of a W hotel style, but it’s not a W hotel. My room was not ready at 2pm I had to wait 1 hour. The staff was ok, nothing to complain about at the counter. The room itself was nice and big. It was missing a iron board + iron for the clothes and as well slippers. Wifi was free of course and working very well. The swimming pool located on the second floor was ok, there were few people, I’ve seeing better hotels pool in my life. I didn’t eat at their restaurant, so I can’t judge how it was. There were a lot of small bakeries/​coffees shops around the hotel and as well, you have a big shopping mall (grocery store/​laundry/​drug store) under Campo Pequeno building very convenient if you need to buy stuff. So, I had a great experience with this hotel, just that don’t expect a 5 stars hotels with service & luxury goods.

Hotel and Amenities:
Good location. The hotel is located in a very convenient location within walking distance of the Metro and several different bus lines. The bed was clean and comfortable. The room was also pretty sound proof. I practically couldn’t hear any of my neighbors for my entire trip. Their complimentary wifi was adequate to supplement my weak international cellphone signal. Even though I had to wait a bit, they were able to accommodate my request for a nonsmoking floor. The entire staff was able to communicate fine with English.
Bathroom:
If you’re from the US, you might not be used to a couple of things with their bathroom:
1. They have a separate bidet if you wish to clean your bottom that way.
2. The shower/​tub does not have a shower curtain.
3. The tub reminded me of an aquarium.
4. You can raise the shower shade so that your spouse or partner can watch you shower from the room. How very European! :)
Restaurant: They have a pretty nice hotel restaurant called Cenário. The food was on the pricey side, but well worth it in my opinion. They even have a buffet option for about 20 Euros if you’re very hungry.
Overall: If I’m ever in the Lisbon area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here.
