Read it your way
The Lisbon Marriott Hotel is a reliable commercial property situated in the city financial district. It caters well to business travelers with comfortable beds, spacious renovated rooms, and balcony views overlooking the pool and Lisbon hills. However, reviewers consistently complain about the location being far from central sightseeing and note aging features like missing smart TVs and worn furnishings in Citrus Bar and Restaurant. 4191116

Food27 mentions
- “The rooms were spacious and the breakfast was very good. Definitely worth checking out!” 3
- “Sheraton all the way, the staff is top tier, the rooms are well maintained, the breakfast is elite, and if you have platinum and above status you get essentially free beer and wine at the lobby bar every night since they closed the lounge a few years ago” 2
- “Hot appetizer was nice on the first evening but not so great on the second (meat was so hard it was almost impossible to cut it).” 10
- “The grounds are gorgeous (ideal for hiking) and the food is on point; dining options include two Michelin star restaurants.” 1
- “Find More Posts by johnaalex Post Options Sep 19, 2007 | 11:23 pm #4 imverge Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Toronto (YYZ) Posts: 6,286 I stayed there last summer and the hotel was OK. It did have a nice pool and the lounge was nice with a large balcony not much of a selection of food.” 10
- “The spa area and breakfast are great (hot/cold buffet), and the bar is still doubling up as a lounge, which of course doesn't give the privacy but a lot of the social aspect, and the team both at reception and the bar go above and beyond.” 11
- “These also have access to the newly refurbished Executive Lounge which is just off the lobby and has its own balcony overlooking the gardens. Breakfast is offered here as well as complimentary drinks during the day and a very generous buffet in the evening along with alcoholic drinks.” 16
- “The breakfast buffet was quite expansive and delicious.” 7
- “The food selection is is really good and breakfast was your typical cold cuts, cereal, fruit and yoghurt.” 10
- “Our mini fridge did not cool our drinks properly, and the choice and availability of food in the restaurant was limited.” 19
- “The Sheraton is fantastic, the breakfast is top notch.” 11
- “The breakfast buffet was quite expansive and delicious. It is a bit away from downtown and most attractions, but we liked that. It was quick Uber ride to/from the areas we wanted to go to.” 7
- “The next morning I had a waiter and he was very unsure of what he was doing. I still got my food without issue and it was tasty.” 5
- “Breakfast at The Ivens was honestly better than the Sheraton - although totally different style.” 5
- “By contrast, Citrus Bar & Restaurant could use a makeover, as furnishing shows some wear and the mixture of green leather chairs and wooden tables appears a bit ill-matched with the red booths.” 4
- “Idk if breakfast situation improved since Q3 2022 but it was OK back then. Lots of selections but things weren't being kept warm, and the large crowd really dwindles the experience.” 2
- “Restaurant has plenty of space.” 10
- “Room service is very good.” 10
- “Just back from Vincii Liberdade which was great. Away from the bustle of the main tourist areas, but 2-3 metro stops from them and about 15 minutes from the airport also on the metro. Couldn't fault it. We also ate there the first night as we couldn't be bothered going out and the food was excellent.” 6
- “The bread is fresh and warm and so are the pastries” 10
- “Disagree about CL not having plentiful food -- I find it to be good. Complimentary wine in the evening, too.” 10
- “The custard desserts are addictive.” 10
- “Sheraton breakfast buffet was great.” 2
- “The Sheraton is fantastic, the breakfast is top notch. Nothing like sheraton in the usa.” 11
- “Breakfast was excellent and just looked up my bill, didn't get charged for breakfast, so I'm assuming that was an elite benefit.” 11
- “The grounds are gorgeous (ideal for hiking) and the food is on point; dining options include two Michelin star restaurants. Their breakfast spread was delicious.” 1
- “The breakfast, which is in their restaurant was a mixture of buffet + a la carte, and the food was solid.” 1
Service33 mentions
- “We had a 18monther baby with us, so we're very helpful with warming up milk/baby food, as well as playing with her 😆, they have High chairs and baby cutlery/plates etc.” 7

- “Nice hotel, decent rooms, lounge is better than average..” 10
- “Staff are very very friendly, concierge service is excellent..” 10
- “The staff are attentive and very professional; as an Ambassador we were upgraded to suites.” 1
- “Sheraton, location is better, the rooms are newer, the staff is superb, the breakfast remains fantastic, despite a closed lounge they still serve drinks at the bar for platinum members during the early evening hours, and you get all the bathroom amenities upon request that a five star hotel should provide.” 7
- “Anything that wasn't liquor/spirits/champagne were complimentary and restocked daily. It also has a nice cohesive safari exploration theme that makes your stay a little bit more special and memorable (def. Haven't experienced this elsewhere).” 1
- “The attendant was very friendly and spoke good English, he was transfered from London.” 10
- “The staff in this hotel is very friendly. I have no complaint at all.” 5
- “Staff were super friendly, and helpful. There wasn't an exec lounge from memory but they had a lounge and gave canapes/drinks in the evening, was quite an impressive spread/plate.” 7
- “While I didn't experience any problems first-hand, my friends told me their requests for room service and clean glasses were ignored, and they had to go downstairs to get the things they wanted themselves.” 19
- “The service by the front desk staff is okay, not great not bad.” 10
- “We are ready to go home but sad to leave this beautiful hotel. We just had a light dinner and drinks in their first floor lounge while the pianist was playing soft music to our delight. The service is white glove.” 8
- “Stayed at the Ivens this past spring. It was a very nice hotel, very nicely decorated.” 1
- “The staff was really hit and miss, too (some excellent dining staff, not so great front desk staff).” 2
- “The soft product is fantastic as well in the form of staff service and F&B.” 1

- “Any recommendations would be gratefully received. We have stayed at The hotel Jorge V many times, great location and super helpful staff.” 6
- “Sheraton. Better location, great staff.” 2
- “The spa area and breakfast are great (hot/cold buffet), and the bar is still doubling up as a lounge, which of course doesn't give the privacy but a lot of the social aspect, and the team both at reception and the bar go above and beyond. My glass was never empty.” 11
- “A cook is on site to prepare you according to your taste, omelette, flat eggs. The staff is once again very attentive.” 12
- “That said, it has the best things about the brand - good consistent and friendly service, comfortable beds and rooms, and all the facilities you need for a successful business stay.” 16
- “The service was very poor, right from the telephone operator to the front office staff.” 10
- “Everyone from the lobby and checkin were attentive and very personable.” 1
- “The spa area and breakfast are great (hot/cold buffet), and the bar is still doubling up as a lounge, which of course doesn't give the privacy but a lot of the social aspect, and the team both at reception and the bar go above and beyond.” 11
- “The evening happy hour in the lounge is fun though, with occasional live performance. However the staff handling this can be rather hectic at times with the large crowd.” 2
- “Thank you in advance. We recently spent a night at My Story Rossio (on Rossio Square). Not a ton cheaper, we paid €170 for one night, but we really liked it. Nice staff, great location.” 3
- “The friendly staff will explain in detail the services offered, the opening hours of the pool, the workout room - a different card will be required to use the gym and no time limit is set - and the spa among others.” 12
- “Staff were super friendly, and helpful.” 7
- “Thanks We have stayed at The hotel Jorge V many times, great location and super helpful staff. We have stayed at The hotel Jorge V many times, great location and super helpful staff. It's not luxurious but is comfortable, practical and very clean.” 6
- “In the evening the Sheraton does have their faux lounge in the lobby area but when I was there a few months ago the service was pretty awful because it was busy and unless you raised your hand and made eye contact with someone you weren't getting served at all.” 5
Room17 mentions
- “Staying at the Sheraton as we speak (platinum), and the room (club level) is nice, yet a bit dated.” 11
- “Stayed at the Ivens this past spring. It was a very nice hotel, very nicely decorated. They upgraded us to 2-room suite which was fantastic.” 1
- “The suite 2502 (club level) is very spacious. As soon as you enter the suite, you notice that the primary colors of the hotel are present: brown and orange walls, wooden floor and some walls with an imitation leather - the same leather that is found on the doors.” 12
- “The balconies are rather thin but plenty wide to fit 4 people on them. There was one from the living room and one from the bedroom.” 5
- “Another very negative point: no electrical outlet on the bedside tables in the room (or elsewhere). The only place to plug in (fortunately) is on one of the two plugs attached to the desk but no USB plug either.” 12
- “Before I arrived at Lisbon, my SNA upgrade request for a suite was denied, but they gave me the best non-suite room with balcony as a Titanium member. I saved the SNAs. I really appreciate the free upgrade and love this room.” 5
- “The renovated rooms have attractive sketches of Lisbon street life, a good size work desk with two plugs (European - so you will need adaptors) and a table lamp for working at night.” 16
- “Decor is predictable and chainlike, though perfectly pleasant.” 4
- “I had booked lowest category room and got upgraded to a corner room with view of the Castello. The rooms are on smaller side but very well laid out.” 11
- “Another photo for you of the elegant room we had in a following post.” 1
- “Hi, Ruben, I haven't stayed in the hotel, but I've eaten in their Italian restaurant with a very nice outdoor terrace.” 9
- “Small room but very clean and fresh, and made great use of the space. I'd stay there again. Good luck, have fun!” 3
- “I believe the Ivens did, can't quite recall. but even better all the snacks and majority of the drinks in the room bar were complimentary for platinum and above.” 2
- “I had been notified of an upgrade and was in for a very nice surprise when I was offered a 1 bedroom executive suite with a queen bed. This suite, located on the top residential floor (25th), offers a breathtaking view of the Lisbon skyline.” 12
- “In the rooms, air conditioning was effective, though there is the option of simply opening the doors onto the balcony for fresh air (though the road is noisy).” 16
- “My SNAs got me the Capelllo suite. I believe it's the "lower" end of the suites based on their website but it was definitely adequate and it came with two balconies.” 5
- “Chair at the table in the room is not terribly comfortable, it's a standard chair...not a business chair.” 10
Location27 mentions
- “We stayed at the Hotel Alegria - https://www.hotelalegria.pt - last September and absolutely loved it! It's a Rick Steves recommended hotel. It's in a great location and has a little park in front with a cafe where we sat every evening with a glass of wine.” 3
- “Situated in the city's financial district, Lisbon Marriott Hotel is best suited for business travelers and might not be ideal for tourists seeking to sightsee -- though the zoo is within walking distance (a 13-minute walk away).” 4
- “Sheraton. Better location, great staff.” 2
- “Large river view rooms, with kitchenettes, great location on the river in the Baxia area. Surrounded by restaurants walkable to most sites.” 8
- “Definitely not a convenient location for tourists, but if you can handle the walk to the metro (which is what I did every day), it is doable.” 10
- “Kathy, We recently stayed at a great BnB in Principe Real https://www.1869principereal.com/ Loved it and it is in a great location and just steps away from the hidden gem of Lisbon restaurants” 3
- “The location is also better and closer to everything in the city, including super markets nearby - but the front desk has all the amenity kits you could ever need upon request” 2
- “location is good for the airport, but to get into the city a taxi is the best option.” 10
- “Hi, Ruben, lincasanova is right that the Marriott is not in a terrific location (unless you are planning to spend your time at either the Catholic University or the Santa Maria Hospital, which I assume you are not).” 9
- “They must have switched things up! We went on the Portugal tour in 2022 and the tour stayed at the Hotel Lisboa Plaza. We loved this hotel, added two extra days prior to the tour starting. Great location, walkable to pretty much everything, close to transit.” 3
- “Our balcony had a pleasant view of the hotel pool and some nearby buildings, but as this hotel was not located in the main part of the city, we unfortunately could not see the coastline or the ocean.” 19
- “Location to airport is very good, a 15-minute ride max, usually costs 10 Euros (including the 1.60 per bag surcharge).” 10
- “We stayed at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa. Was centrally located with plenty to eat nearby.” 7
- “There is not lots of touristy action around the hotel and it isn't the best location for a stay or weekend trip to Lisbon. For an overnight it will do perfectly fine.” 17
- “The location is not very good, unless you want to visit the zoo which is a 5 minute walk.” 10
- “I prefer this location to being right downtown.. Halfway between airport and downtown is ideal for me.” 10
- “The location is fantastic. The Metro runs under the hotel and I could definitely hear the trains as they rumbled by every few minutes but I quickly forgot about it. Otherwise, the hotel is in a very quiet part of town. Quick walk to the Arch, the main shopping areas, Tram 28 start, etc.” 5
- “Location was easy enough to walk DOWNhill to major attractions in the city; UPhill on the way back.” 2
- “I have stayed at both. Marriott location is a bit inconvenient.” 2
- “The location is NOT ideal, but it's not in a bad area.” 10
- “@jaykay...we stayed at BePoet in Lisbon last fall. Great value, terrific location. Would stay there again.” 3
- “Thanks in advance! We stayed at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa. Was centrally located with plenty to eat nearby.” 7
- “Now if you want the reliable Marriott cookie cutter experience, and I don't mean this in a bad way, book the Marriott just keep in mind that the location is a little inconvenient” 2
- “I preferred the location of the moxy. But it was just me so the small rooms didn't bother me but I liked being close to the transit if I needed it” 7
- “Stayed at the Memmo Principe Real later in the same trip and that was really nice. Beautiful small boutique property in a great location as far as the neighborhood goes.” 11
- “Marriot is old as hell Mag-reply I-share DaZhuRou • 2 taon ang nakalipas • Na-edit 2 taon ang nakalipas We stayed at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa. We stayed at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa. Was centrally located with plenty to eat nearby.” 7
- “I stayed at The Lift Boutique hotel when I was in Lisbon. It's right next to that lift and next to the whole downtown area. Was a pretty good location, just not a Marriott property.” 1
View2 mentions
- “, the large windows allow us, once again, to admire the spectacular view that we have on the 25th of April bridge as well as on the chapel of Our Lady of Peace.” 12
- “Still, as with a lot of these seventies hotels, the views looking out are better than the views looking at, and from the higher floors you can see the rolling hills of the Lisbon suburbs.” 16
Value3 mentions
Bathroom6 mentions
- “The bathroom was very nice in size and with a top modern look.” 17
- “A narrow tub and shower area (they do not have the curved shower rods), and the sinks are a little lower than other properties. Floor usually partially floods after showers.” 10
- “Huge walk in shower with a rainshower head and awesome water pressure.” 17
- “Bathrooms are clean and sleek, equipped with bidets, shower/tub combos or separate showers and tubs, Acca Kappa toiletries, and hairdryers.” 4
- “As we move towards the rest of the suite, we notice a door, which hides a simple, but charming bathroom (cabinet and sink on foot made of glass).” 12
- “The rooms at The Ivens are nicer and more modern and the water pressure at the Ivens reminds me of Brazil.” 5
