Hotel Metropole in Lisbon

Had a three night stay at this hotel from December 30/2025-January 2/2026.

To properly review this hotel it needs to be divided up into location, breakfast/room (amenities) & staff.

Let’s start with the location. It’s perfection if you like to be in the middle of it all. It’s off one of the main streets in the city centre. Tons of restaurants, bars, attractions, etc. Transit is there & it’s a 15 minute walk to the water & more attractions. Beautiful location if you’d like to maximize your time in Lisboa.

As for the room, it’s not great at all. ZERO amenities, no mini fridge, coffee maker or other typical amenities. This is a VERY old building & it shows everywhere. Elevator is super slow, poor room security (no peep hole or adequate locks) is lacking, bathroom is old & needs remodeling, very old cabinets & lighting. The bathroom plumbing is so old, the hot water slowly fades as you use it! On the 5th floor there is an old balcony that I was very hesitant to use based on how unsafe it looked.

The daily breakfast (extra 25.00€/day) was good but not great. Hot coffee with eggs & a protein. Some pastries were also available.
The staff was very nice & worked hard to accommodate this guest. We did reward them by way of tips for that assistance.

Every hotel has it pluses/minuses. This hotel has a couple of pluses & many minuses in my opinion. If I ever find myself in Lisboa again, I won’t be staying at the Metrople Hotel!
