Trip Report Feb 2013
Just completed a stay at Marriott Lisbon, and here are some remarks:
1. Location
If you are depending on public transport, do your 'homework' before-hand. We arrive at Sete Rios train station, and you will have to find your way to the Zoo Jardim metro station integrated in the same building (?) with the train station. Then, get out from the exit directing you to the zoo. From there, take bus 755 to Universidade Catolithica. The bus station is right in front of the hotel. Alternatively, take the taxi from Sete Rios to the hotel. It shouldn't cost more than 10euro I guess, the hotel told me that the taxi journey is about 5/10minutes only.
2. Lounge
It would be the only reason for our return I guess. The hot dishes prepared during the happy hour (5.30pm till 7.30pm) are very nice, we had chicken for one night and another night it was lamb (refilled with salmon wrapped by bacon after the lamb finished). Complimentary breakfast for gold/platinum can be taken at the lounge/restaurant as you wish.
3. Room
Need renovation, especially the bathroom (it looks like a 2/3stars bathroom).
Lobby looks like it belongs to 5stars hotel, but the room looks like a 3stars hotel.
All in all 7/10, might return for the lounge and good price of 50euro/night=)
