Hotel Alif Avenidas

The hotel was located very central, at least to the sites that were of relevance to me. It was at the endstation of the red metro line, and with a short walking distance to green areas that were of interest. Most importantly though, is that people in the reception area were nice and friendly and serviceminded. The breakfast area was also worth the visit with the bright panels at the walls and the roof that made it look like the sun was shining outside, even if the room was placed to floors beneath the ground. The room itself was okay - nothing more, nothing less.

The room was just like in the pictures - spacious, modern, comfortable. Cleaning done every day. Staff very friendly and helpful (we received very good indications on visiting some objectives we wanted to). We only had breakfast for one day, but it was quite good, except for the coffee (which is made of powder). Position is also good, very close to the metro with direct connection to the airport (red line, 20 minutes trip) and quite central also, close to parks, shops and with very many bakeries and restaurants close by.

The interior may be a bit dated, but it had all the amenities - comfortable beds, a mini fridge, a kettle for tea, cups, welcome water. The air conditioning was very useful. There was a bidet in the bathroom. There was a metro stop right next to the hotel, very convenient to reach the centre and the old town in 10 minutes. The area where the hotel was located was lively, lots of small cafes and a small supermarket next to the hotel. The hotel was right next to a beautiful and large park with the Gulbenkian Museum, which is definitely worth a visit. The hotel's breakfast was standard, rather boring, but tasty coffee and always lots of fruit. At check-out there was the option to leave luggage until the flight, which was very convenient as the flight was at midnight. The hotel can be reached from the airport by metro I liked the hotel, especially the location. Everything was good!

The hotel was fabulous. People at reception were very helpful and friendly. They help us with luggage , recommendations and everything that we need. Room and bed were made every morning. Bathroom was very well equipped. Also, very important thing luggage storage was very safe since our flight was late night, only stuff can access that room and we had whole day to explore the city without taking care for luggage. The location was great, metro station 3 min walk for the city and for the airport also.
