Staying at Lisbon Ibis, the guide will be enough in one visit
This time I stayed at the Ibis Styles Lisboa Centro Marquês de Pombal, located in the center of Lisbon at Avenida Fontes Pereira de Melo No 5 Rnt 277. The location of this hotel is really good. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the subway station, which is very convenient! There is SENA Hotel next door and Burger King opposite, so you can get it right away if you are hungry🍔.
The location is super strategic. It only takes more than 20 minutes to get to the airport by subway. You can reach Liberty Avenue, Park Plaza, and sightseeing bus stops within a 5-minute walk. It has everything you need, making shopping more convenient. There are also many supermarkets and department stores around. The decoration of the hotel is relatively modern and simple. It was only opened in 2019 and is clean and tidy overall. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic and the check-in experience was perfect! 👍🏻
The room space is acceptable. Although it is not big, the layout is reasonable. It is much better than those old small hotels. The bed is comfortable, but there is no hot water kettle in the room, but you can go to the restaurant on the second floor to get one. Although the breakfast is relatively simple, it is still full and the environment is very clean and tidy. You get what you pay for, and the price/performance ratio is pretty good compared to hotels in the same price range.
However, there are also some small shortcomings that have to be mentioned. For example, the room had a damp smell, some rooms looked different from the official website photos, and I even found dirty socks on the chairs 😱. It feels like some rooms need to be refurbished. In addition, although the breakfast is passable (except maybe the cereal, which may be poured back into the storage cabinet repeatedly, 🤷♀️), the quality is not very high for those who like coffee and juice.
As for the surrounding area, you can go to Lisbon Commercial Plaza, which is quite impressive. There are also many good restaurants nearby, such as Ola Nepal House, New Himalaia Restaurante and Come Prima Restaurante Italiano, with endless delicious food😋.
Overall, Ibis Styles Lisboa Centro Marquês de Pombal is a cost-effective accommodation option, especially for those who want to experience the convenience of Lisbon city center. If you are particularly picky about your accommodation environment, you may want to think more about it!!
