Vila Garden Guesthouse

Amazing place in Lisbon, so so so clean and comfy, staff so friendly and welcoming! Metro station super near, lots of shops, restaurants and supermarkets around. Great barber around the corner too (€4.50 for a haircut!!!) Everything was perfect, they even had a room where we could leave our luggage after our stay. Stayed for 2 nights but wish I could stay longer and will definitely be back! Great value for money.

Although the room was well fitted and spacious, the walls are very thin and our sleep was disturbed by hearing others especially when opening/closing their doors. Despite being on the third floor we could even hear the metro(‘s vibrations, which couldn’t be blocked out with earplugs). So if you’re noise sensitive, maybe not the ideal place, however, the staff was super friendly and helpful and the location is great, easily accessible from the airport and just half an hour by foot into downtown - perfect for a one night stay in that regard.

Overall a wonderful hotel with extraordinary service. Details below… Noise We were aware that we booked a hotel on the main road of a very big city. There is a buzz of humans, vehicles and sirens plus a little rumble of the subway below. This is normal in a location like this. Also a historical building will often have less sophisticated soundproofing in window frames or other openings. So, yes you can hear the city. But it really depends on where you are and who you are if that bothers you. We were on the top floor in room 401 for the first night. Great view over the roofs and hardly any noise from other guests. This was great. My partner is a little sensitive to sirens. This was a lot less during the night, I suspect because there is less traffic the emergency vehicles do not need them as often. I had a very good 8 hours of sleep. My partners request for a room to the courtyard was kindly fulfilled on the second night. We stayed in the smaller but still super nice room 307. More other guests on the hallway but everyone was very quiet. There was only the faint rumble of the subway to be heard and that stopped at some point in the night. A very peaceful rest was had by all. We got great recommendations for restaurants and cafés, all wishes were taken care of, luggage stored, a small appliance mishap graciously handled and multiple languages spoken. I would habe expected a lot less and was pleasantly suprised! Don‘t miss out on enjoying the cute backyard if the weather is nice!

Very pleased with the pleasant and caring staff of the hotel (administrators), good location. Regarding one big minus: The biggest downside is the noise, the big and terrible noise from the subway when appliances shake on the walls and plates in the rooms that hang there, conversations and phones are heard from other rooms, noisy neighbors who walk at night and talk loudly, everything needs to be eliminated and better doors, windows and carpets on the floors.
