ALTIS GRAND HOTEL

Perfect location, excellent services, very friendly guest services. Breakfast is one of the best in Lisbon. Love Nexpresso coffee machine and fruits in the room. rooms are a bit dark but this is a personal taste.

I have been to Altis Grand for a two days conference that we organized at work. The selection of this hotel has been made by a local colleague of ours who surely knows better about Lisbon. Location is in the center of Lisbon in one of the fanciest areas and you can find two good restaurants nearby: Dotte and Guilty, as well as a coffee shop (chain) Padaria De Portuguesa. The hotel has a spa, a gym, few expensive shops near the reception, a fancy restaurant on the roof called Fernando and a nice lounge. The rooms are renovated yet very few are the ones with a view. The entire hotel is spacious yet needs renovation, it's pretty old. Breakfast was poor in terms of presentation, variety and quality not to mention the dim light and old furniture. Training rooms are also old even though we chose the one on the roof with a nice view. Lunch was average. Surprisingly we can't even exchange money at the hotel and we had to walk a lot to do so.

I stayed here with a group, in a double room although by myself. Room was large, pleasant, free wi fi, and good housekeeping. When we returned for one last night, I was assigned a single room, in the old nonrenovated tower...very damp-smelling, I had purchased a 3 night stay thru the tour company so I would not need to change hotels until the new tour began. I had to stay in the same VERY small room, with dark corridors and elevator in the very rear of the hotel. The only redeeming factors are location, the concierge desk personnel, and the breakfast. Better than average buffet, but the coffee poured by staff-- when you can snag them--is cold; instant made with bathroom hot water is definitely hotter. The Nespresso machine at breakfast makes decent coffee...but it requires multiple trips there, with many mistakes of clear water. The same tired pink sausages, greasy undone bacon, scrambled eggs, broiled tomatoes and canned beans appear every morning. Excellent croissants (regular and chocolate) sort of make up for the tired menu. The location is good and there are many restaurants nearby. The coffee shop has a good selection for light dinners, and prices are good. EXcellent soups, salads, and daily specials if you are tired and don't want to go back downhill/uphill in search of a restaurant. This hotel was rated after experiencing hotels in Madeira and the Azores, which were both significantly better in EVERY way. I would never consider it a luxury hotel, unless it were rated in comparison to a Day's Inn in the US.

Clean hotel with good breakfast. People at the reception always ready to help. I did not try the gym and the pool, heard good thing about it. To the city center was 20 to 30 minutes walk. I recomend it and would wisit it again.

Typical "big box" hotel, nothing wrong with it but nothing to set it apart. Staff were excellent and there is lots of space. Rooms were comfortable and large (especially by European standards). Breakfast was included and there was a wide variety. Location was excellent , we walked everywhere and there were no problems.
