Aroeira Golf Club Tours

Great hotel, attentive staff.

Great hotel. Friendly staff. Very good location

We had a very enjoyable stay for our first time in Lisbon. The Aurea hotel is located close to the cruise port so it’s in a very safe location. Although this means it is also very “touristy”! This is fine however as there’s plenty of great restaurants in walking distance as well as the historic Alfama district literally right behind the hotel! Just be ready to climb a lot of steep hills & staircases. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful! The room we had was a basic king - which in Europe means two full beds pushed together. The room was decent sized nothing special however. The bathroom was very nice with two basins and even a bidet. My only complaint was our toilet seat was broken a bit and kept sliding which they did their best to try to fix. I Suspect it needs to be fully replaced however. The breakfast was very good. We only did it on one day but it blew away what you get in the US at most upper scale restaurants, no real surprise as Lisbon has a phenomenal food culture! Unfortunately the dinner we did not do as the sene took us quite small surprisingly and the one night we did want to try it they were out of the steak, so we went elsewhere. For shopping, It’s only a few blocks from the Main Shopping districts as well of Chiado/ Baixa. Just avoid the obvious tourist traps right next door. You Definitely need to walk a bit further to get to the good stuff. Overall an excellent stay.
