Blue Liberdade Hotel

First, the hotel's location could not be better for sightseeing in Lisbon. The Restauradores metro stop is right outside the hotel. Across the street is the train station allowing you to venture further outside the city. Up the street from the hotel is world-class shopping with high-end shops like Gucci. There is also a plethora of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The area around the hotel was very safe, as is much of Lisbon. That said, the location could not be beat. Second, the hotel staff were absolutely amazing. Everyone we encountered in the hotel made us feel welcome and always made themselves available to answer any questions. The room was very spacious for European standards. It had a double bed, which was two twin beds side-by-side. Each bed had sheets, making it perfect for traveling with family or friends. The bathroom was also adequately sized for a large shower and single vanity. The amenities and finishings were simple yet modern. There was plenty of space for luggage and the room also had a small sofa. Third, one of the most popular seafood restaurants in the city is attached to the hotel. There was a line daily for lunch and dinner, but the hotel has a special relationship with the restaurant and can always secure dinner reservations at 7:00 or 7:30 for hotel guests. I understand why the hotel may be rated 3-stars. It is smaller and does not offer the same level of luxury and extra services as a 5-star hotel should. However, do not let that deter you from staying here. This is the best 3-star hotel I've ever stayed in and I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend this hotel to anyone I know traveling to Lisbon!!

The location of the hotel with respect to the city centre, metro station, taxi rank, local facilities etc was superb. Despite the hotel being on a relative major road (but well set back from it) and with the room being at the front and with a restaurant 2 floors below, we were pleasantly surprised that there was no disturbance from traffic or people. The room was lovely with quite a large bathroom with a great shower and its own french windows out to the front, The bed was super comfy, great pillows, good lighting options and the complimentary water and free soft drinks minibar is a nice touch. Everything seems very new and was spotlessly clean. Reception staff were super friendly and helpful and the free fizz, juices, coffee and Pastel de Natas were much appreciated! We chose not to take the breakfast option at the hotel but only because we prefer to have brunch/lunch. By the way, the restaurant outside (a separate business) seems really popular and food looked amazing - one of only a few places where locals queue to get a table.

The hotel was beyond expectations. The location is perfect to visit Lisbon on foot. It's close to all the main attractions and the hop on hop off bus. There are a lot of shops around and restaurants (also recommend the one at the entrance of the hotel). The room is a little small (normal in Europe) but the bathroom makes up for it. The hair dryer and straightener were a +++ They offer a diverse and delicious breakfast and have a cute and free coffee/wine/water corner at the hotel reception. The staff were very welcoming and helpful whenever we had questions.

Blue Liberdade location was exceptional. It is situated in the heart of the city and easy walking distance to the different ‘quarters’ of the city and public transport. A huge shoutout to the staff at Blue Liberdade, each of them were professional, friendly and kind. The complimentary bar facilities in the rooms were generous. The complimentary pastries, champagne and excellent coffee, tea and water in reception was a pleasant surprise and generous gesture. The bathroom was an excellent size. The whole room was modern and light filled. We would not hesitate to return or refer our friends.

I couldn’t speak higher of the staff, which made us feel incredibly welcome and looked out for us the entire time. The location is perfect if you want to see the best of Lisbon. Our room was just the right size for us while we stayed for 3 days. The shower was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and we had a nice window overlooking the square. Big bonus for sound proof windows. In the bathroom, they have a full size blow dryer and a hair straightener. There’s also a restaurant downstairs, Pinoquio, which has a line starting around 6 PM so definitely plan to have a reservation if you want to go.
