Tapada das Necessidades Park Tours and Activities

Rooms are tiny, not much room to keep your things. Shower mixer is terrible, when you set for the desired temperature, it suddenly pour hot water. People in the front desk are really helpful and they go out of their way to help you put.

We had a very enjoyable stay for our first time in Lisbon. The Aurea hotel is located close to the cruise port so it’s in a very safe location. Although this means it is also very “touristy”! This is fine however as there’s plenty of great restaurants in walking distance as well as the historic Alfama district literally right behind the hotel! Just be ready to climb a lot of steep hills & staircases. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful! The room we had was a basic king - which in Europe means two full beds pushed together. The room was decent sized nothing special however. The bathroom was very nice with two basins and even a bidet. My only complaint was our toilet seat was broken a bit and kept sliding which they did their best to try to fix. I Suspect it needs to be fully replaced however. The breakfast was very good. We only did it on one day but it blew away what you get in the US at most upper scale restaurants, no real surprise as Lisbon has a phenomenal food culture! Unfortunately the dinner we did not do as the sene took us quite small surprisingly and the one night we did want to try it they were out of the steak, so we went elsewhere. For shopping, It’s only a few blocks from the Main Shopping districts as well of Chiado/ Baixa. Just avoid the obvious tourist traps right next door. You Definitely need to walk a bit further to get to the good stuff. Overall an excellent stay.

Our stay at the Eurostars in Baixa was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spotless and the water pressure in the shower was AMAZING; after a long day I really looked forward to the luxurious shower experience! The location was convenient, and staff were friendly (we appreciated the surprise delivery of pastries our first night). Breakfast was a beautiful spread of wonderful food. I would highly recommend this hotel.
