PortoBay Marquês

Our stay at this Lisbon hotel was a lovely blend of comfort, convenience, and a bit of cardio — thanks to the long scenic walks through the greenery to all the nearby attractions (don’t worry, your step count will thank you). The location is top-notch — close to everything, and most day tour pickups happen right around the corner. Even during late evenings, the area felt perfectly safe for a post-dinner stroll. The hotel itself is well-kept and our room was clean, cozy, and comfortable. A pleasant surprise was finding a dental kit and a full set of toiletries already in the bathroom — not something we expected, but definitely appreciated (especially when you forget your toothpaste mid-trip). The rooftop is on the smaller side, but it comes with a cute little pool and a bar — perfect for a sunset drink without having to change out of your flip-flops. The gym was also clean and well-equipped, ideal for those motivated enough to work out on vacation (we saw it, admired it… and then went back to the bar). Now for the plot twist: Check-in. Usually, there’s a warm welcome with some insider tips on breakfast timings and local attractions. But in our case, it was more of a silent film — no information, no brochure, just a room key and a nod. We later got all the details from another staff member on our way back — super helpful and all smiles. Maybe the morning shift person wasn’t a fan of early interactions… or maybe we just interrupted the coffee moment. 😄 All said and done, it’s a great hotel with good vibes, a solid location, and enough amenities to keep you comfortable and smiling. Would totally recommend — just maybe arrive after noon for that cheerful check-in energy. 😉

Super choice for convenience, location, cleanliness, and friendliness of staff. We walked everywhere from the hotel (you’re in central Lisbon in 10-15 minutes) but you’re also next door to the metro. It was great to be well located but not have to be disturbed by street noise/other guests as it’s a rather quiet neighbourhood. Everyone we encountered at the reception desk was lovely and responsive. The downstairs bar has a different flavour of ice cold water each day (infused with mint, orange, green apple etc) which we really enjoyed after a big day out! My only thing was the standard double room is a little on the small side for two people but still perfectly amenable, spotlessly clean, and comfortable.

Very comfortable bed and excellent room. Good location- near to metro and in the centre of Lisbon in a few minutes without having to stay in a noisy and busy area. Breakfast very good.
