Vila Garden Guesthouse

10/10, absolutely loved this hotel! The view from the window was stunning, the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was new and incredibly clean. Having a kitchen and fridge available was fantastic – so convenient and cost-effective for cooking our own meals.

Wonderful place. The room was super comfortable, we were treated very well, and the shower was amazing, really hot. We loved the location, the very kind gentleman who helped us, and everything else. I recommend it.

There's no elevator at the hotel, but the front desk guy was super helpful when I arrived, carrying my luggage up. The location isn't the best, and the area feels a bit sketchy with a mixed crowd. Parking, however, was great! Right on the street in front of the hotel and incredibly cheap, almost the price of a can of coke for the whole day.

Looking at the pictures, I thought this was in a suburban area, as a small garden like this doesn't seem like something you'd find in Lisbon's old town. But surprisingly, there are still spaces like this even on the upper floors of old town apartment buildings. The owner is very thoughtful, and it felt like very Chinese-style service. The English-speaking front desk service was excellent, and since it was Halloween, there were candies on the bar, plus free lemonade! However, the biggest issue is that there's no elevator to the fourth floor, and I nearly collapsed dragging my large suitcase before getting through the door. Thankfully, the room itself was clean, tidy, and comfortable, and the space wasn't as small as other apartments. It was very cozy, and there are many fantastic little shops nearby, with food and atmosphere that are just as good as Michelin-starred places! Loved it.
