Aparthotel Vip Suites do Marques - Lisbon, Portugal 

Booked this hotel at very short notice - same day - and were slightly worried about how reasonable the price seemed compared to the others we phoned. However on arrival we were absolutely delighted with the suite,which was huge, well furnished and very comfortable. It consisted of a large lounge area, a good sized bedroom with enormous bed and a bathroom with bath and shower. The reception team are well informed and helpful and the hotel is in a good location for exploring the City as there's a metro station just down the road. Public areas are smart and well furnished. Breakfast was fine, bread of various kinds, scrambled egg and sausages, fruit , cold meats and cheeses. Whilst there if you can get to the fish restaurant at Cais de sodre station- between the station and the ferry terminal you will not regret it - fantastic service and wonderful food including the best chocolate cake Ive ever had!

PREVED! We've been there in the end of August. Previously we booked VIP Madrid (it's round the corner, near VIP Suites Do Marques). But when we arrived thehe occured probs with electrycity just on the leavel, where we booked a room. I like portugese innocent lies. I suppose they just forgot. :-))) Anyway they offered us Do Marques for "the same price". Next time I woldn't stay there even if they pay me. They need restyling of the interiours last 15 years I think so. When I tryed to use safety box handle has broke... the same thing happened with wardrobe - the door just fall. But room was large and almost clean (I suppose they did their best). It could be sadfull if it wouldn't prepare us for folowing visit of the historical center of ex-luxary town. Breakfast scares. Better not to it THAT. Ppl livin' in hotel. I've got feeling that many rooms rented by brasilian prostitutes and strange British ppl (strange even for UK). Howewer, somebody like it. One good thing is lokation. Nearby Pombal square and sabway station. Nice walk down by Avenida Libertadi to the historical center. Avenue is charming.
