Posted: Wed, Jul 22 2009
This hotel is nothing like you see in the pictures.<br>It&#39;s been renewed and recently reopened with a trendy look and colour.<br>Rooms are clean and very nice. There is a theme in each on of the floors. Ours was the Tribu floor, africa inspired.<br>I would totally recomend and will come back.

poca seriedad en la reserva

Realmente en este hotel no llegue a estar alojada porque me anularon la reserva sin previo aviso. hice la reserva por correo electronico con numero de visa incluido y debi de teclear mal algun numero pero ni ellos me dijeron nada ni yo me di cuenta. Cuando llegamos al hotel un miercoles santo, nos dijeron que la habitacion ya no estaba reservada y que se la habian dado a otras personas porque al ir a confirmar el numero de tarjeta vieron que no era correcto. Nos dejaro tirados en la calle un miercoles santo¡¡¡¡ pedi libro de reclamaciones y me dijo el tipo de recepcion que la oficina estaba cerrada y que hasta el dia siguiente no podia hacer nada, le pedimos ayuda para otros hoteles pero se puso muy borde y solo llamo a dos hoteles que tenia al lado y logicamente todos llenos por la fecha que era, se encogio de hombros y ahi nos dejo. Llame a la policia municipal y explique lo que pasaba, vinieron al hotel conmigo y en cuanto le pidieron cuentas por el libro de reclamaciones el muy canalla al momento lo saco¡¡¡¡ al final no consegui nada pero por lo menos la satisfaccion de la reclamacion, por nuestra cuente encontramos otro hotel mas economico y estupendo. En resumen hice la reserva 2 meses antes y nadie me dijo nada hasta llegar alli y ademas de malas maneras, teniais que haber visto la cara de chulo del de recepcion, que se me ha quedado grabada¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

posizione perfetta!

Sono appena tornata da un w/end di due notti a Lisbona (9/11 marzo 07) Abbiamo prenotato questo hotel tramite il sito Venere.com pagando una stanza doppia con colazione 75 euro a notte.La posizione dell'hotel è eccellente, si trova nella parte bassa di lisbona, all'angolo con la zona pedonale di Rua Augusta e a pochi minuti a piedi dalle principali attrazioni. E' un posto ideale per muoversi sia verso il castello ed Alfama da una parte, che verso Bairro Alto e Chiado dall'altra.Inoltre è ad un passo da fermate di autobus e metro (l'autobus 45 a cento metri dall'hotel porta in aeroporto in meno di mezz'ora). Quindi la posizione è l'aspetto migliore che l'hotel offre.La stanza non era grande, ma pulita, luminosa e ben arredata. Il bagno, con la vasca, anche era piccolo ma tutto nuovo. La hall è molto piccola, quasi inesistente.L'hotel è privo di ristorante (per la colazione offrono un buono per un bar/pasticceria che si trova a 10m di distanza dove hanno sia dolce che salato e sono molto disponibili).Nella hall è affisso un poster con la dicitura "hotel disign 2006", non so se indica un premio/titolo ricevuto.Alla reception tutti sono stati gentili anche se non sempre ben informati sulle informazioni richieste.In ogni caso lo consiglio decisamente.

Cool decor, limited amenities

We spent around four days at the Hotel Internacional in Lisbon. The location is great, right in the heart of downtown and surrounded by cafes and buses heading right to the attractions. Taxis are easy to come by too, though they aren't able to drive directly up to the door (you'll have to carry your luggage across the street). The hotel is in an older building, and is in the midst of renovations. Apparently each floor has a different theme. Ours was an American theme, and our room was inspired by Andy Warhol. It was aggressively modern, painted candy pink and white and decorated with IKEA-style furniture. It was a comfortable size, however, and was decorated well even though the pink was a bit overwhelming at first. Unlike most hotels in Portugal, breakfast was not included, and there is no kitchen in the hotel. There are LCD televisions in the upgraded rooms, but unfortunately there's only one English-language channel, CNN Europe. The staff was polite, if not particularly helpful. They have recommendations for Fado performances at the front desk, but don't bother taking the pamphlets. We did, and discovered that there was a 20-euro minimum per person at the restaurant (enough to feed the two of us at most places, including wine), and most entrees were double that price. We had still planned to eat there, until we discovered they were charging 10 euros for water and beer - typically more like 2-3 euros at most restaurants. It was a total tourist trap. All the patrons clutched the same brochure that had brought us there. We ended up paying for our drinks and walking out. We found a restaurant down the street where we had two decadent three-course meals and drinks for under 30 euros. Although the hotel told us in-room Internet access was included when we phoned to make a reservation, when we arrived we learned that there was actually NO internet access in the hotel itself, but that there was an Internet cafe across the street. That was irritating. The best option in Lisbon, we found, was to bring the laptop to the nearby Hard Rock Cafe, which has just introduced free wireless Internet for patrons.
