This hotel has it all - very helpful, polite staff; spacious, very clean rooms; department store, art gallery and major museum and library just around the corner; great inexpensive cafes next door and across the road; metro entrance across the road with lines direct to the airport and to the city centre; great bar - Magnetic - ~75 metres away....

A friend and I recently returned from a 3 night visit to Lisbon and stayed at the Hotel Alif Avenidas. There are plus and minus points regarding this hotel. On the plus side it is opposite a metro entrance which is on the red line and therefore a direct, quick and easy journey to the airport (make sure you take... More

In March 2013, I spent 8 nights in Lisbon at the Hotel Alif Avenidas. As previously mentioned, the hotel location is excellent: just across the last stop of the Red Line metro - Sao Sebastiao (exit Av. Duque D'Avila), in a quiet and safe residential area and close to the Gulbenkian Foundation Museum which is a very short walk away.... More

We have recently returned from a five night stay in this hotel, and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice. As others have said, the location is brilliant as it is across the road from the metro stop which means that anywhere in the city is easily accessible. The rooms and common areas are absolutely spotless and very modern.... More

Typical city business hotel (which is better than most that you'll find in the UK) and is also good for people on Holiday. The rooms are clean, if on the small side. Breakfast is good. Staff are freindly. It is not in downtown Lisbon, but this is probably better as it is away from the noise and dirt. The hotel... More

I was expecting an average hotel for the price, but surprise... it was totally renewed. The room decoration was modern and clean, and what is best .... no carpets. It is located a block from the Sao Sebastiao metro station (end of the Ariport Red line) and in a walking distance to Fundação Gulbenkian, Saldanha mall and El Corte Ingles.... More

The hotel is convenient to reach from the airport by metro. One end of the red line is at the airport and the other end is at San Sebastio. If you exit from the Avenida Duque D Avila exit you are just a hop, step and half a jump away from the hotel. The staff are courteous, the rooms are... More

To be honest, I would give this hotel a 4/5 rating but they deserve to keep this ranking, I work in the industry and I know what it means. Me and my boyfriend planned to spend 8 days in Portugal and 5 of these in Lisbon, where we were looking for a good but reasonable priced hotel, thankfully we found... More

the best bits were: nice and clean, sound sleep, barman had a beautiful portuguese red wine going for 2.5 EUR per glass (and plenty of good football chat!), and breakfast was really good. the not so good (but hardly terrible) were: front desk service was a bit miserable, the hotel whilst clean and modern lacks any character. Overall a good... More
