Hotel Olissippo Lapa Palace, Lisbon

Clean and classic accommodation

Nothing

It’s excellent location and the excellent condition of the hotel.

Beautiful building. I stayed in the palace part, in an art deco room which was why I chose the hotel. Doesn’t feel too big. Garden and pool are lovely.

A little away from the centre of things so I recommend taxis if you’re not fond of a lot of walking. I was surprised there wasn’t a folder in the room with information about the hotel such as a map. The doorman wasn’t the best.

Excellent and friendly service and support from the staff. Very comfortable room with view of the Tagus, and a modern and well equipped bathroom. Good dining options, especially the bar where the staff could not be more helpful and where the menu is more varied and frankly much better than the more formal restaurant, which we found very expensive for what was, sadly, an average meal. Buffet breakfast was superb. The hotel has an excellent range of facilities, including a very relaxing garden and outdoor swimming pool.

Our only comment relates to the hotel’s position. It is not easy to access other than by taxi; it is a distance from the historic centre of Lisbon and is located underneath the flight path for Lisbon airport. As a consequence, the outdoor breakfast area, bar and garden can be quite noisy, especially as jet aircraft tend to land every 5-10minutes!

The room and bathroom were both great, confortable and pleasant. The breakfast was spectacular as it was the breakfast area coutyard...pleasant, peaceful and just pain very enjoyable. Although, we did not use the pool or spa facilities, we visited these and thought they were great. The pool and the gardens are beautiful....an oasis in the city of Lisbon. The staff for the hotel were always attentive and welcoming. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The only draw back is that the hotel is not close to the city center.

Distance to the city center is about 15 minutes away via taxi on a regular day....not walkable.

Excellent hotel with a lovely pool

It’s a long walk to any bars or restaurants. Drinks in the hotel are very expensive

Nice vintage hotel

The pool is very large and beautiful. The lounge chairs are extremely comfortable and there is a nice bar right by the pool.

Excellent breakfast with attentive staff . Wonderful & ample selection of food & drinks.

Everything exceeded expectations

This is our fifth stay at Lapa Palace. The staff are exceptional, our room was perfect, location is great, with views of the Tagus River. What more can you want.

Nothing.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was absolutely perfect. This is what I would describe as a classic "old school" hotel in the best sense of the word. The breakfast is buffet style, but in the grandest sense. You get to choose from a wonderful selection of fresh breads, pastries, cheeses, fruits, cereals to hot breakfast foods, such as scrambled/fried/boiled eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes. Tea and coffee is served in silver pots. There is smoked salmon and sparkling wine. The breakfast room is lovely and you can choose to eat inside the airy room or outside in the courtyard. The heated outdoor pool and its surrounding garden are a beautiful oasis in a busy city that is pushed for space. The adjoining bar serves great casual food. We had the Salmon Poke bowl and it was delicious and very filling. The main restaurant is serious silver service, without being in the slightest bit stuffy or formal. I would highly recommend the tasting menu. You get to try the what I consider the highlights of what is on offer for a little more than 2 courses. The chef is exceptional. The room is beautiful and in keeping with its traditional setting. Lots of chandeliers, swagged curtains, flower arrangements. The bar is just what you would expect from a hotel of this style. Moody lighting, with lots of red tones and dark wood. Expert cocktails, free bar snacks, very friendly staff and a piano player to die for. There is also a great indoor pool with a sauna and steam room. Our room was spacious, with a large marble bathroom and balcony.

This is not something that the hotel can change and it did not affect our stay, but you should be aware that the pool is under the flight path of the airport. So you will hear and see planes flying overhead during the day. You will NOT hear them inside the hotel.

excellent service

Beautiful setting for our last few days in Lisbon. The Accomodations were world class. The room, restaurants, pool, grounds were all top rate. The staff was terrific.

Amazing breakfast buffet and lovely swimming pool (indoor and outdoor). We enjoyed the quietness of the area as well as the quick walk to public transportation to travel around.

The indoor swimming pool closed twice 10 minutes before the official time.

Very clean and comfortable and very enjoyable breakfast.

The view from the balcony was not the best.

The room was very large and had a very nice balcony overlooking the lovely garden The garden featured a large and attractive swimming pool but also a lovely natural pond with coy carp and fresh water turtles. The whole garden was simply stunning. Another bonus was the indoor pool - great for an early morning swim before breakfast. Both pools were heated. The breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice. The hotel was very quiet and elegant with lovely gardens off the breakfast room and bar and a terrace overlooking the main garden off the dining room. The hotel was one of the nicest I have stayed in anywhere.

Everything. Outstanding quality on ALL FRONTS. The staff were really top notch and helped us with our travel disruptions and very very friendly

We loved everything. We made one mistake and that was the bed was too hard but didn’t mention it until late. They told us we should have mentioned it as it was solvable so our problem. In spite of this a HIGH recommendation

An Excellent hotel, good size rooms well-appointed looking over the pool and grounds. Wide bright corridors and reception area. Pool and Garden area excellent with a good size pool and plenty of sun chairs. The staff were beyond exceptional with a particular mention going to the pool bar staff.

A little out of town but Taxi's were 8 Euro to get in. I am from humble stock so bar prices looked high to me but all this good service has to be paid for so you pay your money and make your choice

Beautiful setting. Excellent Breakfast Buffett and very friendly staff!

stunning , lovely staff and great view

- very well kept traditional hotel - beautiful swimming pool - excellent service by staff

- prices of food and drinks are a bit too high for what is offered

All was simply perfect. The personel were simply perfect

The furniture is the room was very old

The service, the food, the location, and the beautiful gardens were exceptional. The staff are very well trained in hospitality and provide excellent service. The architecture of the hotel is olde world charm. We had an excellent stay, and we will definitely return . Highly recommend this hotel

Nothing

concierge was fabulous- answered my emails before the trip promptly and were very helpful

The staff at the Palace was exceptional. They were friendly, competent, professional and dignified. In particular, we enjoyed and appreciated the services of the Palace's highly competent concierge team. They listened carefully to our requests for restaurant and activity recommendations and hit the mark every time.

There really was nothing about this hotel, its staff and our stay that we did not like.
