HOTEL FLORIDA

Good hotel with comfortable beds, clean and had a good view. It had an old movie, artsy feel to it, with cool posters in the rooms. There was also free Wi-fi with a good signal. The bathrooms were lovely and spacious too. The reception staff were friendly (except for one who seemed to have a problem with us from the moment we stepped in) and helpful, the check-in was smooth without any problems. It is in a good location, the metro station was 3 minutes away and took us straight to bairro alto within 5 minutes. The buses were also convenient along with surrounding shops and restaurants, including a mcDonalds which was walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at Hotel Florida for 4 nights in May 2017. The hotel is centrally located by the Marquais de Pombal Metro station and within walking distance of many sites, neighbourhoods and amenities. The hotel is small, my room had a view of air conditioning equipment but the room was clean and comfortable for 1 person (or a couple). The complimentary breakfast was filling and the staff were helpful.

The hotel moto is famous movie stars , so each room is named under a star . Humphrey Bogart is waiting for you in one elevator while Audrey Hepburn on the other. The hotel is centrally located , but we found it quite difficult to see it's signs from outside. Breakfast is good and rooms are spacious. Since most of the interesting places are located in downtown (Baixa) I would search a hotel at that area. Walking distance from Marquise de Plombal square where Florida is located is like 20 minutes of nice walking throught Av. de Libertade .

We chose this hotel as it is next to a metro station with easy access to the airport and city centre. The room was large and well appointed with air con. (4th floor). The hotel opened in 1941 but has been updated on a film theme and we stayed with Al Pacino. One lift Audrey Hepburn and the other Humphrey Bogart. Full cooked and continental breakfast included. Friendly and welcoming staff except Sunday breakfast. Only downside was no milk with the in-room tea and coffee.

This hotel has 72 rooms,each with a name of an actor or movie.( I stayed in the Coppola room.) The location is just off the Marques de Pombal,a departure point for the Grayline/cityrama bus tours.It is also on the Rua Liberdad,the wide avenue leading to the Baixa old town district..Best of all is the hotel staff. Antonio Abrontes and Catarina Pires were outstanding as far as restaurants,Lisbon in general,etc. The boss should give them a raise in salary.In 55 years in the travel business, I have never encountered the service these two employees provided.
