Hotel Excelsior is often praised for its excellent location near the Marques de Pombal metro station, making it easy to get around Lisbon and quickly reach the airport. Guests frequently appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, with some even mentioning rooms on the 6th floor featuring a large loggia and modern bathroom. Breakfast is included, though a few guests have noted the hot food options could be more varied. The good value for money is also a recurring positive point.

limited varietyunpleasant odor
The room lacked sufficient power outlets, a major inconvenience for charging devices. breakfast lacked variety. Hot food options were quite limited. the bathroom was small, made maneuvering difficult, especially for more than one person. there was also a noticeable sewage odor in the bathroom i found unpleasant.

the reception staff demonstrated true kindness , allowing me to store my luggage before check-in , and providing access to a changing room after a very long flight. the location proved excellent , situated close to marquês de pombal and parque eduardo vii , with a myriad of restaurants and cafes just around the corner. i found the health faucet in the washroom quite unique , it's the first i've encountered in europe.

lovely central stay!

convenient locationpolite staffgood breakfastwell maintained
The location was very convenient with plenty of options for getting around, and it was a short walk to the main centre. the staff were very polite and helpful. They really went out of their way to. i really enjoyed the breakfast. It had good value for the money. the hotel was well maintained too, which i appreciated!!!
my room only had four sockets, and two of them didn't work. the tv channels also weren't working. i spoke to reception to get someone to check it, and they said they would send someone the next day. i had already left the hotel, and no one came to check.
