Hotel ibis Lisboa Centro Saldanha (Lisbon, Portugal)

Reviewers usually spoke highly of the customer service and said the multilingual members of staff were friendly, helpful and attentive with lots of local knowledge at their disposal.

The location in a central neighbourhood of Lisbon proved popular with visitors as it was a short walk from two metro stations and several bus stops for hassle-free trips around the city and its many sights and attractions. Moreover, there were shopping and dining options within easy walking distance. Several guests remarked that the hotel enjoyed a relatively quiet spot in a side street.

According to many travellers, the rooms were functional, clean and comfortable, making them fine for a short stay. The powerful showers were generously-sized and guests also liked the wooden floors and flat-screen TVs. Budget-conscious guests often said the reasonably-priced rooms offered fair value for money.

Several critics felt certain rooms were on the small side, especially when at full occupancy. A few reviewers commented that some rooms lacked sufficient power outlets for charging up multiple portable devices at the same time.

There were occasional reports of maintenance problems like tired-looking curtains or noisy air-conditioning in certain rooms. Cleanliness standards also came in for occasional criticism amid reports of bathrooms that could have been more thoroughly cleaned, inadequately cleaned towels and floors that were unsatisfactorily swept.

Although many diners said they enjoyed the breakfast as a convenient option with lots of choice, others said it was nothing special and lacked hot items.
