Vila Garden Guesthouse

Pros The room was clean and updated. Small fridge and desk in the room. Stuff super friendly. Reasonably priced. Loved the outdoor space. You have access to common kitchen and large fridge:freezer. Close to two subway stops. Close to grocery store. Con’s: no elevator (request 2 floor), you can hear subway passing through, not much fast food options within walking distance, no access to outside area or common kitchen 12:30am-8:30am, strong laundry/cleaners used by cleaning staff.

Nice stay with friendly staff and good convenience near the airport. Could do with a lift as climbing 3 floors with luggage can be challenging. But otherwise all was good.

Staff was very helpful. Nice outdoor space to relax.

Location: The area has tons of businesses nearby and there are numerous options for food with Indian being very prevalent.A small shoutout to Athiti Indian nearby for amazing food and staff. That said the area is noisy. Lots of emergency vehicle activity, and a subway that runs directly below the building that can be heard and felt every time. Cleanliness: Hotel seemed clean and nothing stood out as being in poor repair. No problem at all with the cleanliness of the facility. Staff: We had limited interactions but what we did have were typical of a hotel. Facilities/Function: Here is where this goes bad for us. There is no lift in the building. It does say that in the Expedia listing but only if you are looking for it specifically in the accessibility area. You will be carrying your bags up fairly tight wooden staircases. I am sure the response will be that they always help carry them but that isn't really the case. The staff member checking us in would have been willing to assist grudgingly but there are no bell hops or actual people there to assist you.

Very nice to leave the busyness of the street into this wonderful place. They have a nice outdoor area, comfortable and clean environment-very nice. I would stay again.

The place was really nice, clean, and close to the Metro. The front desk people were super helpful. The garden out back was a great place to hang. I'd totally stay there again if I'm ever in Lisbon.

Chambre super confortable, cuisine commune bien pratique. Quartier bien située près du métro.

Excellent stay. As is mentioned on the listing, you will need to carry your luggage up at least one flight of stairs to reception. We ended up on the top (fourth) floor, and had to carry our bags there too. Beyond that, everything was great. We were in a larger unit with four people and there were two A/C units, the bathroom was large, and it was nice to have a kitchen area too. Staff were very friendly, the garden is nice, and there are a ton of great restaurants in the area. Convenient to the airport and city center. We would not hestitate to stay here again.

Cet hôtel n’est pas dans le centre ville mais à moins d’un Km sur une grande avenue, et à environ 150m du métro, il permet de rejoindre en quelques minutes seulement les principaux monuments du cœur de Lisbonne. La chambre était propre, pratique et joliment aménagée avec une télé et un frigo. A l’accueil, tous étaient très serviables, attentifs et à la recherche de solution. Deux exemples : un matin nous parlions de notre programme en mangeant dans la petite cuisine commune quand la dame gentiment est venue m’indiquer une grève des métros, nous nous sommes adaptés quand d’autres touristes rencontrés ont attendu une heure sur les quais. Le dernier jour, nous avions peur que le chauffeur pour l’aéroport nous ait oublié, il a commencé à appeler un taxi en attendant juste au cas où pour que nous n’ayons pas de retard, finalement notre chauffeur est arrivé mais nous avions un plan b. Par ailleurs, en bas des escaliers devant la porte, à gauche un petit supermarché pour vos courses et à droite un café pour les petits déjeuners permettent d’assurer les repas si on veut rester sur place.Merci la Vila Garden Guesthouse !

A nice place to stay except there’s no elevator.

Lovely clean hotel. Staff were very helpful. Cleaned every day. Big comfortable bed. No lift and all rooms upstairs. Quite noisy as walls very thin and on main road. Out of Lisbon centre in more rundown area. Transport/metro close by.

We booked an apartment and can really recommend a stay at Vila Garden Guesthouse. The apartment was spacious and clean and the staff was really friendly. It was over 40 degrees outside, but the air-conditioning worked as a charm, keeping it cold and comfy inside. The location was great, walking distance to city center and close to metro. We will definitely stay here again.

Equipe excelente nos receberam muito bem! Quartos super limpos e um pé de mexericas lindo no jardim. Próximo a estação de metrô. Recomendo ótimo custo benefício

Clean room, friendly staff

Very clean, modern & friendly

Clean comfortable,a nice place to stay

Quarto limpo. Arrumado, com uma varanda agradavel, localidade muito boa.

Excelente guest house, quarto e banheiro amplos, bem decorado, limpeza excelente, atendimento extraordinário do pessoal da recepção. No dia do nosso check in nosso voo atrasou e nos esperaram além do horário e quando chegamos no quarto tinha uma garrafa de espumante gelada com um cartão gentil nos dando boas vindas. Uma grata surpresa depois de uma viagem cansativa. O único problema, no meu caso em particular, é não ter elevador. O restante é nota 10

Cleanliness was amazing! The housekeepers were cleaning the rooms everyday. The two lady housekeepers helped us with our luggage by carrying the bags to our rooms. The entire staff is very helpful and have a phone number they answer 24 hours a day if you need help. Very impressive for a family run Hotel.

It was very conveniently located. My room was clean but my mattress looked like there were some dust and hair underneath the bedsheet. I’m not sure if it was prepped on a rush, but everything else was nice and clean!

Really nice building; very nice, spacious and modern room; withing walking distance from two main metro stations and plenty of cafes and restaurants; although it's located in a busy road, it was fairly quiet during the night; easy and quick check-in and check-out.

The stairs to the top are no joke! The unit did get really warm on hot days, especially because of the sunlight at the top. Wi-fi connection needs improvement.

We were only there for one night but excellent service and the room was great. The balcony would have been perfect to take advantage of more if we hadn't been needing to get to sleep early. Only downside: the sink basin was designed by someone who doesn't like you.

Equipe ótima, quarto bom.

Great staff, nice place despite being a bit tight for 5 people, and kitchen missing a chair so not a good place to hang out but good for showering and sleeping We enjoyed it but i wouldn't go with 5 people

I stayed here two consecutive weekends. Both times, the staff was very friendly and the courtyard is very nice if you plan to hang out at the guest house, or eat meals there. The restaurant options for dinner are not many right outside the guest house, but I really like the Portugalia across the street, so that's where I ate (steak, Portugalia style). I highly recommend it. And don't skip the dessert: the chocolate mousse is phenomenal. The metro is very near, so you can get anywhere really quickly. There are lots of coffee shops right outside the guest house for breakfast and quick meals. I gave it 3 stars because the first time I was upgraded to an apartment, which sounded nice, but it was a fifth floor walk-up, it felt cheaply built, and it was poorly furnished (no chairs or surfaces to put things on in the bedroom beyond the night tables, no tvs in the bedrooms, no plugs near the nightables). And the sole tv in the hallway did not work. I was told it would be fixed but it was not. The next weekend I stayed in a room and it was much nicer. I was allowed to get into the room early, which was great. Like I said, the staff is very friendly. I wanted to open the window, however, and it was stuck. Again, I was told it would be fixed but it never was. I like this area, but some people may not. It may be too edgy for some people. I always felt safe, though.

For a one-night stay, the place was adequate with good access to restaurants and grocery stores close by. The staff was attentive. The only downside was the noise level being close to the main street - cars and people alike.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen. Everything was good. We had a comfortable stay. The kitchen is a little old but very usable. There is only air conditioning inside the two bedrooms so keep that in mind if you want to utilize the bed in the living area. Bathroom is clean and updated condition. Beds are comfortable. All in all a good stay.

Nice stay with friendly staff and good convenience near the airport. Could do with a lift as climbing 3 floors with luggage can be challenging. But otherwise all was good.

Amazing staff across the board.

We arrived around 1:00am and check-out was 11:00am. I was picking up our rental car at the airport and the front desk kicked out my family from the room because they didn't allow them to stay 30 minutes extra, or they would charge another day. I talked to the front desk clerk from the airport to let him know I would arrive back to the hotel very soon; I arrived at 11:25 to find my family in the reception area packing our luggage.

Really loved the ambience here, being on vacation it meant a lot. Staff were beyond helpful even to handling our luggage. Glad we picked here 😀.

This was a GREAT place to stay but I didn’t realize it wasn’t the best area to stay in Lisbon. It felt totally fine but it wasn’t in the most safe or walkable area, so we used to the subway to go down to the water and the popular area (Alfama). The subway was super easy and very close so that was a plus! But all that being said, everything about the place and the staff and the rooms was fantastic! Can’t say enough good things about our stay and the service provided - just not our ideal location!

Clean and modern property close to subway line. The room was comfortable and well spacious enough for our needs. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. While conveniently located, including for a quick Uber ride to the airport, the area may not be Lisbon’s best, particularly at night. There are several good restaurants roughly 1km down the street, but few nearby. Rooms on the street side will be exposed to traffic noise, particularly from ambulances which are frequently rushing to a nearby hospital. Overall perfectly suitable for a nice, short tour of Lisbon.

The property was average. Staff was excellent. The area is not great.
