A pleasant hotel in the center of Lisbon, not too far from the subway. I stayed two nights on a business trip. The area is rather bland, not much to do, but the subway brings you to better places. And for this type of hotel it is relatively inexpensive. room: rather large for European standards. Light. Internet: no wifi, free... More

I stayed at the VIP Executive Villa Rica at the end of November for 6 nights for a conference at Lisbon University. The hotel was in an ideal location for me as it was only ten minutes' walk to the University and ten minutes' walk to Campo Pequeno bullring. I was really impressed with the quality of the room -...

My company uses this hotel on a regular basis when travelling to Lisbon. This is where we book the stay of our customers and our CEO coming from Toronto. The hotel is all new and very good looking. The rooms are not big but have an OK size. Breakfast is good and staff is friendly. Nice bar near the lounge... More

The hotel is close to the underground, about 500 metres, so near any place that you want to see or be. It is not a modern hotel, but it is a very nice place to stay. It is not so expensive as others, the rooms are spacious with good bathroom, and very quite. The breakfast is not excelent but not... More

I used to love the Villa Rica. I've stayed there seven nights in all and recommended it to friends on several occasions. It used to be the sort of hotel where the staff couldn't do enough for you and where everything was just so. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. Our curtains didn't meet in the middle so we...

This hotel looks great in an area with not much to look at. But it does not live up to the vip name and hate to think what my work paid for it. The main restaurant is mainly closed so the cafe which has a reasonable menu is a saving grace. You can also grab beer and wine here unlike... More

We were part of a pilgrimmage tour that brought us to Spain and Portugal. Our last leg of our journey found us in Lisbon at the Villa Rica Hotel. Room 621 was the last unit on that floor so we only had one adjoining neighbour. Room was very impeccably clean, spacious and quiet. A/C was easy to control and extra... More

Checked in, and although I had a confirmation number, it took about 20 minutes to retrieve the reservation. The elevator to the room is quite small (fits max 2 + suitcases). Room is spacious, but dated. Cigarette marks all over the room (carpet, desk). Wallpaper that starts falling off. Overall impression is that it is not even worth 2 stars.... More

Booked this hotel to attend business meetings. It's located near the office that I needed to visit. We were allocated a smoking room even though we came with a very young child. We could have asked for another room but after a whole day of travel we were too tired to take our luggage down again to the reception. So... More
