I like the hotel , until the second night, I woke in the middle of the night, with bites everywhere on my body, something was in my bed, until this day 16/06/26 I have marks as I had a allergic reaction to the bites. The staff changed us to a new bedroom, but I was too skeptic about it.. then the rest of my trip was full of tablets and creams to help with the redness and swelling.
But over all , was fine. Breakfast it’s was very nice. Thank you

Clean bathroom with shower facility. Also excellent location, metro 🚇 and train station 🚉 about 10 minutes from the hotel. Overall I had wonderful stay. Minor issue no ironing, unless a deposit of? €40! I feel it should be provided free!!

The tub had no plug to have a bath which we could have requested but felt it should be provided.

What I didn't like so much were the bathroom vanity- it was akward to use, it was too high. 2nd thing, although the space was so big, the work desk was tiny. I didn't have enough space to setup my workstation. Lots of wasted space.

Large room, comfortable bed.
Had to leave air con on for a prolonged period to feel cool.
Room is on flight path, ok when landing but very loud if take off.
Confusion at check in about who was in each room so city taxes charged incorrectly and not enough towels etc.
The reason we booked the hotel was for the roof top pool. No correspondence to war us pool would be closed the entire time we were there. When we checked in, we were offered the use of nearby hotel's pool. Inconvenient as had to cross roads to get there, it was small and overlooked.

Practice fire alarm was advertised to go off at 10am on the Thursday. Left early to avoid. Returned at 11.30 it was still going off. Apparently delayed due to breakfast but we were not told that. My friend tried to leave to join me but colleagues told him he had to stay in the room? They had blocked his way out of the room as they were practicing how to stop smoke going into the room.
The Lifts were not working for at least 4 hours. We were on the 8th floor so a lot of walking up and down stairs. Emergency exit stairwell is all black marble, no proper lighting and my friend who is tall had to stoop to go up and down.

If you get room service it's just easiest to just pay when they arrive with a card reader. Unable to take payment from the card registered to the room, even when requested they held €100 on it to take payment from it. Struggled to then refund the difference at check out.

the swimming pool was closed because of repairs, but no work was carried out therefore it wont be ready until 2026.
the air in the hotel lobby smells of rotten feet, because there is no air ionsers or ventilators. they had to keep the emergency exit doors by the stairs open at all times, and that causes an alarm to be heard all the time. there is no signs for toilets for example. one of the 2 lifts was broken and still not fixed when i left five days later.

Scalding hot water temperature!

We were here on the end of a group tour and book 2 extra days. This hotel has excellent customer services. Especially, Davies at the reception. She helped us booked a train to Porto. The room was okay. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was okay, not that great. My main complaint is the water temperatures. It’s either too cold or scalding hot! It seemed that was the same for my fellow travelers. We had to waste tons of water to find the right temperature. The water temperature kept changing to scalding hot while we were in the shower! It was so dangerous!

This property is good overall - stayed here twice in the space of a month so reviewing two different rooms. Nice lounge area however their service is not five star nor are the hotel amenities. It would pass off as a 4 star hotel. Otherwise it is a nice hotel overall - room has no utilities apart from a empty mini fridge; bathroom has some technical issues and not easy to use facilities as such - like no soap dish, water pressure really high - sprays everywhere, no proper slippers - they are made out of paper, bathrobes are only in size x small and the rooms definitely need a refurb. They do not have a variety of foods to order from for room service and when asked if they could bring some cutlery to the room they said it costs €5 charge! This is not a 5 star service.

Nothing Grand or VIP about this hotel.

Hotel well placed midway between airport and the old town.
Rooms are looking tired and are poorly equipped with minimal furniture and no provision for hot drinks, but beds are comfortable.
Cleanliness excellent but needlesly replaced towels every day.
Lifts between floors were very slow and only available staircase was behind 'emergency access only' doors.
Buffet breakfast provided ample choice but featured nothing of outstanding quality or taste.
Hotel pool on first floor but only accessible via lobby and two lifts and had no poolside changing rooms or drinks/food service.

Very disappointing hotel and service

Before I start my complaint, I will start with the positives. Nice shower and a free bottle of water in the room. There are not many more positives about this hotel. Its very far from the city. Metro needed, and this involves a lot of walking to and from and changing lines. We booked this hotel because it had a Spa. We were not informed beforehand that the spa was closed. We realised this when we got to check in. We made our disappointment known once via email and tried to contact the manager. He was not available so we asked to be contacted by him twice. This did not happen. In Ireland, if this happened, we would be offered a complimentary drink at the least. We didn't even get an apology and as this was the only reason we chose the hotel, feel very undervalued as customers who spent a lot of money on a 3 night stay. The staff were not helpful or friendly and we wouldn't stay again. Nothing special about VIP Grand Lisboa and very disappointed customers. Stay in the city, its much better. And it's too late now for an apology.

Not worth the money charged.

I was quite disappointed in the service here. Whilst I had a warm welcome from the person at reception, I was clearly struggling with my bags and there was no offer to help.

One of the lifts wasn’t working and there was neither and indication as to when it would be repaired nor a sign apologising for the inconvenience. I waited up
To 6 minutes for a lift and I was on the 9th floor so stairs were not an option.

There was no tea or coffee facilities in the rooms, there is a single bottle of water per person for the entire day. I was there at the height of summer.

I called to ask for an iron and ironing bored and was very surprised when I was informed I would need to provide credit card details as this required a 40€ deposit. Having travelled all over the world, this is the first time I have ever encountered this and I was truly shocked.

There are no clear signs for communal toilets around the hotel, there are complicated directions for accessing the pool and no clear signs. When I got lost and asked a member of staff in the spa they told me they didn’t know as they only worked in the spa. Staff don’t say hello to you they walk past you, even when you seem lost.

The pool furniture is in bad condition and the wooden decor of the rooms is dated.

This is not the worst place I have ever stayed but it is the most I have ever paid for such a substandard experience.

In summary, not worth the money they charge and an overall bad experience.

The hotel looked nice from the outside. Trouble started at check-in. Four people behind the desk with a line to check in and only one person actually helping guests.
The WiFi NEVER worked!!! The entire time. It was so frustrating.
Every day my room key stopped working and I’d have to go downstairs and wait at reception to get them to fix it. For a week, every single day.
There were no USB-type chargers in the room which seems incredibly outdated.
Plastic light fixture in the bathroom was falling off.
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel or their chain to anyone. Not for the prices they charge.
