Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved the location. The main attractions are either within walking distance or easily reached by public transport. 24 hour unlimited tickets are available very close to the hotel's main entrance at the main line or Metro stations. We never felt the need to use taxis.
Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant was varied and good but could get a little repetitive if staying for more than a few days [we stayed for 7]. Inside and outside tables are available. Check out the seagull that patrols the perimeter handrail each morning hoping to be fed.
All of the staff are really friendly. Unlimited bottled water is available free of charge, just ask. The satellite TV has a number of English speaking channels, great for films etc. Our bathroom had the best and strongest shower that we have encountered in Europe to date. We can't comment on the hotel's other amenities as we were in Lisbon primarily to see the sights so were out and about for most of the day/evening.
Very few minor negatives: We thought our superior double room was a little on the small size, likewise the bathroom. The "double bed" wasn't, it was 2 singles bolted together. I've not sampled the delights of a single bed since my unmarried teenage years. Housekeeping staff could have been a little more generous with the number of milk and coffee pods left in the room each day.
Overall, we were pleased with our choice of hotel in Lisbon and would stay at the Altis Avenida again.
