Stayed at the Hotel Veneza with my sister for 2 nights from 14th to 16th October. What a great find. So glad I had ignored previous bad reviews from travellers. This hotel was charming and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We requested a twin bedded room which we got (previous traveller had said that they were given a... more

A traditional hotel 'stay' - lovely. Comfortable room, fantastic breakfast choice and helpful staff. more

Good hotel handy for walking to all main areas of Lisbon including Rossio (commercial area with station, metro and buses) and Bairro Alto (high town with loads of bars and restaurants). Helpful, English-speaking staff who gave excellent recommendations on where to visit. Good value, if rather basic, breakfast. Only drawback no proper communal seating areas for just relaxing, so best... more

Stayed only one night and got the room mentioned in most of the other reviews, second floor with balcony overlooking the main Avenue.

We were delighted with the location on... more

Staff were friendly,... more

My wife and spent a week at the VIP Veneza in Lisbon. The hotel is older but it is in the heart of the old areas of Lisbon. Ave Liberdade was just beautiful with its rows of trees shading the tiled walkways. We booked our stay through the American Express Rewards program. We found the hotel within easy walking distance... more
