Historic Center Hotel Deals
Radisson Blu Hotel
It was a very nice hotel. The breakfast was excellent, but was NOT free! The property is near the airport, which was handy. However, the city center, where the most activity is in Lisbon, is not within walking distance. There are few restaurants near here

Hotel Acta Moa- New Opening
Hotel was good and staff courteous. The Bistro food was excellent. Too bad they close for lunch. The instructions for the luggage lockers was not correct nor clear. The room was very nice. Even with the train noise we would come back.
