Aurea Museum by Eurostars Hotel Company
Stunning hotel, everything we could wish for. Staff were so attentive. In particular Katerina (sorry if I've spelt that wrong) was so helpful, right from the moment we checked in we felt valued. It really has been one of the best city hotels we've ever stayed in. Thank you

The best part of our stay was the staff at the lobby. Extremely helpful, polite, informative, welcoming, pleasant and gracious. The hotel was new and modern. The room was very clean. It is well situated in the heart of Lisbon. There are trains and buses anywhere. The city is extremely safe at all ...

Meliá Lisboa Aeroporto
The front desk reception was welcoming on arrival. Hallways are very dark. Bathroom needs upgrade. The only reason to stay at this hotel is its proximity to the airport. There is a shuttle but it is only a few minutes walk.
