Lisbon stay

Three 70 Canadians visiting Lisbon for a couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vila Garden apartment 2. We didn't realize when booking the apartment was 4 flights of stairs which was a challenge and the lighting in the bedrooms were not bright enough to read by. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and Sophia who worked reception.

Great for a overnight or short trip!

Lovely apartment and worked out perfect for a group of 4 (2 couples). Beds were comfortable, noise was medium, and bathroom was very spacious. Would not personally recommend for longer stays if you plan to hangout in the apartment, as the living room space is very small. For our group, it was just what we needed. Plenty within walking distance and very accommodating and welcoming staff. Thanks!

Great Stay

Overall we had a pleasant experience staying here. Front desk was very helpful. Only suggestion would be to have wine glasses in the unit as we wanted to enjoy a nice glass of wine in our unit and we didn't have any glasses for this. We were able to find some in the main kitchen on the ground floor but it would have been nice to have them readily available in the space we were staying in. Another thing that would have been nice to have is a comfortable seating space for all family members (we were 4) at the end of a long day of site seeing.

Did not enjoy our stay there. Thank God it was short. Although the place was clean, it was so not cosy and not pleasant to stay in. Staff at the front desk was nice, help us with the suitcases as there is no elevator in the building.

Get ready for those flights of stairs

Let me start by saying, yes there are a lot of stairs but hotel staff did help us get everything up and down the stairs. This hotel is such a little gem that no one seemingly knows about. The garden is so cute fyi. We were close to lots of things at this hotel so it was definitely worth the stay and the airport was a 10 minute drive straight down the road. Parking was the easist I experienced in Lisbon so yes, I would stay here again.

Must be Fit and not want to Sit!

Nicely decorated apartment, and in a decent location with easy access to metro. However, if you were renting one of the fourth floor apartments, make sure you are energetic enough to climb those four flights of stairs after a day of sightseeing in Lisbon. Although the property has a very nice, outside garden seating area, the apartment itself has virtually no seating area other than a daybed in the foyer and the chairs in the kitchen. Being first time visitors to Lisbon, we had no idea how tired we would be after a day of sightseeing, and how daunting those stairs might be . We are seniors who are fairly fit, but probably less energetic than younger visitors. Keep that in mind. Other than that, staff were nice and beds were comfortable.

Bel appartement

L'appartement est au dernier étage de l'hôtel vila garden. Il est très propre. La salle de bains est récente. Deux chambres avec un lit deux places et un petit lit dans l'entrée ( pour enfant car il n'est pas très grand) Nous nous sommes sentis à l'aise dans cet appartement et avons passé un très agréable séjour.

Muito boa relação preço/qualidade próximo do centro de Lisboa

Embora a zona de Arroios não seja propriamente das mais inspiradoras de Lisboa (tendo, todavia, a vantagem de ficar perto da Baixa e ter uma estação de metro - Arroios - bem próxima), o alojamento (um prédio inteiro convertido em alojamento local) é muito bom e tem uma assinalável relação preço/qualidade. Ficámos no apartamento do último andar (com dois quartos), que tem apenas o problema de se situar no quarto andar e não haver elevador (não sendo, assim, aconselhável a quem tenha problemas de mobilidade, o que não era o nosso caso). O apartamento era amplo, renovado recentemente (havendo apenas a reportar o parte do chão de um dos quartos estar algo irregular e levantado), bem equipado e perfeitamente limpo . Os funcionários foram sempre muito profissionais, simpáticos e prestáveis (ajudando, por exemplo, na guarda das bagagens depois do check out), pelo que, em conclusão, achàmos que valeu (bem) a pena ter escolhido este alojamento.

Een mooi appartement met tuin.

Het was een mooi appartement, heel schoon. Alleen jammer dat er niet echt een zithoek was waar je kon gaan zitten als de kinderen op bed lagen. Verder was het een mooie top locatie. Zeer goed ontvangen.

4th floor a killer without a lift

Clean. Decent size rooms. Narrow passages equals stop and wait:) Not great experience carrying bags to 4th apt...no lift..or even without bags My fault should have checked?? Can't understand why no Toaster in any rooms. Ok for younger travellers Good position on main road into the centre . Just a few £ in taxi Great city to visit. Bit hilly Expensive in some areas Cheap in others
