I tentatively booked this hotel for later in our vacation but I wanted to make sure it was nice enough to return. Needless to say, I did end up staying here again and I even recommended this hotel to another friend we were meeting on the end lag of our trip. The hotel is about a 10min ride from the airport & it's super easy to get an Uber/Lyft. The website does say they have a free airport shuttle but I found out it's only from 6-10am (I believe) and come every 30mins. I emailed to reserve the shuttle but no one ever got back to me. I remember a rep told me that it's very easy to just call for a ride and that there's a taxi stand right out in front of the lobby. I ended up using a Bolt/Lyft all the time. It's very reasonable in Lisbon! The lobby waiting area is big, there's a restaurant inside, and the staff was very pleasant. There is a weight ma ch one for your luggage as well but it's 1 euro. The rooms were spacious enough for two people. The beds & pillows were comfortable enough. They do offer shampoo, conditioner, & body wash. I do wish they had USB chargers close to the beds instead of by the tv. If you have a universal plug adaptor, make sure you have a long cord for your cellphone. Also, I never understood the 1/3 glass partition in the shower. It's hard to shower without splashing water on the floor. I never understood that about Europe. For the price and convenience to the airport, I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel…read moreits about a couple of miles from the airport, and an uber ride costs around €10 these days. I should mention the Campo Grande subway station, that serves both green and yellow line, is just across the highway in front on the hotel. You can easily get to the "old city center" and many touristic points from here. Staff at the reception were pretty nice. Got the superior room, that was very spacious, with two queen beds, and a little living room area. More than enough room for my family of four. There was complimentary water and apples, but also some sodas and beers in the minifridge. Large tv with several channels, an electric water boiler and an iron and board. Bathroom was also large, with double vanity, a tub & shower and even a bidet. Overall, I think this is a decent place to stay, everything seemed well kept, but you can tell this is an old hotel. Not in a bad way tho, it had like a "vintage" charm to it. Both the restaurant and lobby bar seemed very lively, but unfortunately I didnt have the chance to eat or drink anything there.

One of many MSC reviews…read more Quality/Quantity - We are now loyal customers with MSC. A great and inexpensive way to travel. For almost the same price as airfare, we get to do a 16 day cruise to France! On this trip, we also visited Canada, Portugal, and Spain, but you know all that because you are following. Anyway, this is a low cost company so I have low expectations. I still remember our first MSC cruise in 2020 from Italy to Spain, Portugal, Canary Islands, Morocco, etc. A week later COVID hit.The ship after us in Rome, Italy did not let people off; we got so lucky. That was an eye opening cultural experience. But it helped set my expectations low. In summary, one of my most relaxing travels. Actually, I think I got record sleep on this cruise. Also more relaxing since we have done many of the ports and cities on this itinerary already. Our goal was to really start our vacation in France. See my excessive pictures spread out in all the MSC ports from 4/19 to 5/4/26. Ambiance - A larger ship than I typically prefer, but with only 4k guests (out of 6k), more than enough room for me. But then again, I am easy going and have low expectations. The food exceeded my expectations. And it did last year in MSC Japan also. Service - Expected, you get what you pay for. Price - Affordable. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1987 and your parent's success since 1970. We already booked our next cruise with your brand. Sorry, I just noticed I never finished all my Japan Yelp reviews, including not doing the MSC Japan review. Hopefully I will have time in the future. Our first Italy MSC experience was a 3 star experience. Our Japan MSC was a 4 star experience.

Contrary to most reviews I read, my experience has been quite smooth…read more Getting out of the Uber: the driver needs to take a ticket and park in a designated parking spot. We then walk the rest of the way to the terminal, which isn't far but shares space with oncoming traffic. I made it through without any issues. We had our boarding passes online, and they worked perfectly. Using the fast-track, we breezed through in no time. The security didn't even ask me to take off my boots. (I honestly have no idea what the fast-track is, seriously. I got Clear at Chicago ORD because the line is huge, and the Clear staff was offering trial memberships... Did I realize I actually have it? So maybe the fast-track is connected to Clear?) The passport control next to McDonald's is quick too, taking about 10 minutes with the machines. (If one machine doesn't work, try another one; and press your fingers down hard...) Now waiting to board -- fingers crossed.

It gets the job done. This is the ferry terminal for Almada, across the Tagus River from Lisbon. I…read morehad one arrival followed a few hours later by one departure. There are ticketing kiosks which is useful because my 24 hour pass from the Lisbon network didn't work here. Cheap enough for an 8 minute ride - less than €2 each way. They have clearly visible signs showing not only how long until the next ferry departs but also what percent full it is. Helpful info! There is a small convenience store and some other retail. The station was under major renovations when I was here in January 2022. Easy connection to the trams and buses which took me most of the way to the Christ statue. I returned with a walk along the waterfront after dinner at Ponto Final and that five star review is coming soon. Inside the waiting area, some seating and some vending machines. The "boarding" sound goes and everyone starts moving for the ferry. It's an easy walk for a shop that does this a dozen times a day back and forth across the river. Overall, as pleasant an experience as one can have on mass transit.

After walking for what seemed like an eternity down from the Cristo Rei statue and realizing that…read morethe Porto Final Restaurant was closed, I was happy to see that the ferry was at least running very reliably back and forth from Casilhas to Cais do Sodre. Inside the terminal in Casilhas we bought one way tickets and they were €1.30 per person. The trip across the river was fast and smooth, a perfect ending to our day of walking in Cascais and visiting the Cristo Rei statue.

They need to learn from Uber and Amazon. Bottom line, stay away. I read their reviews on their site and many people have same problem and not just me.

This allowed us to see all the high points, but we could deviate if something caught our attention - like ancient Roman ruins!

This is one of the best holidays I have had. Highly recommend Portugal Trails!

Lisbon International Airport probably has the best international food court in Europe!…read more If you're here and have the time, relax and enjoy a glass of wine. There are meat carving stations for the outrageous sandwich offerings, freshly made baked goods and good coffee. I was able to get my last Euros sold back for US Dollars at one of the many exchange kiosks. I had a weird interaction with one of the vendors. I had a small Portuguese Olive Oil can that I wanted to purchase. The cashier asked for my boarding pass (??) and said I cannot purchase this item and take it back to the US of A. Um... We're behind the security check points? Very strange.. Speaking of security, I must have shown my passport to every check point before boarding the actual plane. They aren't playing around at the Lisbon International Airport! I left Olive Oil-less but felt secure throughout my time here.
