VIP Executive Zurique Hotel (Lisbon, Portugal)

The hotel is situated close to the local train station and bus stops, making it easy for guests to explore the city using public transportation. Many reviewers also commented on the large number of local cafes and delis in the area.

The establishment represents a good value for travelers looking for an inexpensive no-frills hotel in Lisbon, particularly those who want a quiet location away from the noisy hustle and bustle of downtown.

The local neighborhood was said to be peaceful and safe. The hotel’s private underground parking lot was also appreciated by visitors with cars who wanted to keep their vehicles in a secure off-street location.

The rooms are rather basic, and many reviewers noted that the furniture and decor are dated and could use a facelift. Others noticed that their rooms were stuffy and the AC was ineffective, and that the rooms facing the train station can get noisy.

Guests found some of the advertised amenities to be a bit lacking. Reviews stated that the food is mediocre and the drinks expensive, the gym is small and under-stocked with very old equipment, and the pool is old, shallow, and not always kept clean.

Not all of the hotel staff shares an enthusiasm for their jobs. Visitors reported customer service issues including impatient wait staff, disinterested employees who were slow to respond to requests, and room cleaning staff not doing a very thorough job.
