“Great hotel”

Great hotel right in the centre of important areas and tram 28 stops outside. The breakfasts were very good, we had an enormous classic room and because it was my husband’s birthday they brought bubbly and chocolates to our room. The final highlight was as we were leaving and waiting for our taxi at 3am in the morning the receptionist brought us breakfast. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel

“Hotel mundial”

Pros: Good location to be near Praça figueira, Rossio and Rua Augusta/comercio. Friendly door staff. Cons: Dated rooms, no double bed, (2joined singles) no walk in shower (shower over bath).

Pros: Good location to be near Praça figueira, Rossio and Rua Augusta/comercio. Friendly door staff. Cons: Dated rooms, no double bed, (2joined singles) no walk in shower (shower over bath). No complimentary tea/coffee etc in rooms (as I had the world over). Rooftop bar is overpriced and for public use, not only hotel patrons. Added: Hotel is located on corner of martim moniz square, good if you want route 28 tram (queues are very long). Bad (and I mean bad) for constant beggars (money, cigarettes etc). My wife’s a Londoner and she felt ill at ease near the square.

I recently stayed at Hotel Mundial in Lisbon and had a rather mixed experience that I feel others should know about. Location and Views: The hotel is perfectly situated in a bustling area, close to many attractions. The rooftop bar and restaurant offer a charming view of the castle, downtown Lisbon, and the river, making it a lovely spot for breakfast or a sunset drink. However, be prepared for a vibrant, crowded atmosphere, especially during peak tourist season. While the energy is invigorating, it can also feel overwhelming at times, and I did notice some odd behavior among the crowd after dark, which made me slightly uneasy. Noise Levels: One downside of this central location is the noise. The hotel is next to a main square and a fire station, so you will hear sirens frequently, often late into the night. Additionally, the building itself feels a bit dated, and the soundproofing isn't great. If you're a light sleeper, you might find this bothersome. Room Quality: The room I stayed in was spacious and the beds were comfortable, but the inflatable pillows were odd and not the most restful. The furniture showed signs of aging, but everything was clean. However, the bathroom layout was peculiar; sitting on the toilet felt cramped due to the large marble sink, which could be challenging for those with mobility issues. Shower Issues: Unfortunately, the shower temperature was inconsistent throughout my stay, which was quite frustrating and one of the more significant downsides to my experience. I had hoped for a relaxing shower after a long day of exploring, but this was a challenge. Breakfast: Breakfast was decent for a four-star hotel. The selection was somewhat repetitive, but everything—coffee, bread, meats, cheeses, and fruits—was fresh and tasty. The waitstaff were attentive and accommodating, even offering to prepare scrambled or poached eggs upon request. Staff Efficiency: The staff at Hotel Mundial were efficient, particularly in managing my booking. The welcoming gift was a thoughtful touch that I appreciated. In summary, Hotel Mundial has a lot going for it with its central location and fantastic views, but it also has its drawbacks. If you're willing to overlook some noise and quirks for the sake of location, it might still be a worthwhile choice. However, I would recommend looking into other options if you're sensitive to noise or need a more modern accommodation.
