This hotel has nice staff, impeccable room cleanness and is very reasonably priced. But unless you are travelling on a budget you should definitely choose another hotel. The beds aren't comfortable enough (they are however big enough), the restaurant is just average (if not poor, though the service was good, it's the food that was disappointing) and the area of...

Lovely hotel and good price/quality. Staff is very nice, rooms are spacious, tidy and clean, got cable TV and internet connection as well. Booked over the internet and was pretty fast. The location is in near the old Lisbon market. It is well located near transport and easy access to the center.

I like the Villa Rica. Usually it is a great value Lisbon hotel, under 10€ in a cab from the airport and an easy metro ride from town (or walk it as i do). It does however feel like you are watching the Eurozone crisis in action. Cost saving is evident everywhere. Little maintenance jobs not done. There is no... More

I've stayed there just for one night but I would recommend this hotel. It is clean, bed was really comfortable and the hotel was well located (underground station is just a couple of minutes away. Staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast option was really good, so nothing to complaint about. I would stay here again if I am... More

This is a pleasant and clean hotel with friendly staff. The staff were knowledgeable friendly and always willing to help. As my Portuguese is very limited it was nice that they were fluent in English. Excellent transport links being 5 minutes from the Metro station Entre Campos (Yellow Line) and served by several local bus routes. A great base to... More

Nice, clean, well-managed hotel a bit from the centre of Lisbon. We liked the room a lot. No restaurants in the area. Crappy amusement park outside. Close to the underground. Perfect location for us, we were there to compete in the marathon.

The hotel is modern and clean. However a number of aspects provide a relatively poor experience, the reception and check in takes too long, if more than a few guest turn up the wait is for ever. The main restaurant was closed during my stay and the food available in the "bar" was of very poor quality. However, there are... More

I got booked into the VIP Villa Rica for a work meeting of about 50. The staff were totally unable to cope with our (modest) number - the restaurant downright refused to serve a colleague on the first night, the reception staff was insolent, the "spa" (whirlpool) was out of order, the pool didn't open until 9, so we weren't...

We found the accomodation and the service in this hotel of good quality. Only minus: food was not great; better go to the center of the city and have some real Portugese meal. The swimming pool was an asset though, we enjoyed it a lot since we had this really hot weather.
