We stayed at the VIP Diplomatico from 14 - 18 May 2008. We read a lot of hotel reviews and were non the wiser to which hotel to choose: so many differing opinions but we found the hotel to be more than adequate for a few nights and would not hesitate to stay there again, or hesitate to recommend it.... more

Near metro and buses. Many attractions were within a 25 min. walking distance. Our room away from the street was quiet and had a nice view of the city. The staff spoke fairly good English and were helpful. Our biggest complaint would be that the bed and pillows were hard. more

We stayed at the Diplomatico in Lisbon in September 2007. We got two rooms for which we paid $76 Euro each. The rooms are very adequate, spacious, and clean. The location is excellent for sightseeing. Parking was complimentary, and breakfast first class. Internet was available for a small fee, and the Wi-fi worked very efficiently. We highly recommend this hotel... more

We drove our jeep with 2 kids (9 &11) from London via Tours and Biarritz, Michelin guide in hand , without having booked anything in advance. Our priorty was to find a clean hotel with a room that would accommodate all 4 of us and its own car park- with a budget of no more than £100/night- not that easy,in... more

After leaving the Algarve we made our way to Lisbon. We stayed here and was not sure what to expect. I read many reviews about this hotel and again was very surprised. It was adorable. The location is Perfect, it is not in the center of everything it is about a 10 - 25 minute walk to the Barrio Alto... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in April. Great little hotel, large room, nice view, liked the balcony. The only drawback was the scary lifts! I think they need to be replaced. more

Went for a long weekend and loved Lisbon. The hotel is just ok, the rooms are large but in need of modernisation, everything worked fine but very dated. The location is only suited to those who love walking which was lucky for us as it was at least 20 minutes of hill walking to the centre. The staff were not... more

I don't believe this hotel has been, or ever was, diplomat or VIP worthy. It is in desparate need of a make over or modernization inside. For instance, the elevators do not have doors that close once your inside, so you can touch the floors you are passing by as you ascend (quite dangerous). The saving grace of the hotel... more

We booked the reservation via sunhotels.net and it seemed to be a very nice price considering it had 4 stars. After the visit I would rather say it's a 3 star hotel. The rooms are nice with pretty much all the facilities you can expect from a standard room. The main thing we were missing was ironing facilities. Fair enough... more

We are three couples and we stayed at this hotel for 4 days in March .The hotel is near the metro station (5 minutes walk). The hotel looks ok from the street. Then problem appears when you start speaking with the people in the reception desk, because they do not speak English or Italian, they speak only their language. Also... more
