Lisbon Airport B&B: Unbeatable Prices & Perfect Location! - My Unfiltered Take (and Why You Should Book It)
Okay, listen up, weary travelers! I've just wrangled my luggage out of the Lisbon Airport B&B, and I'm still buzzing. This isn't your polished, corporate review. This is me, spilling the REAL deal. And trust me, after a red-eye, a missed connection, and a near-meltdown trying to decipher Portuguese signage, I needed this place like oxygen.
First impressions? Let's be honest… I was expecting a shoebox. But…
Accessibility: (and the "Oh Crap, I Didn't Check" Moment)
My partner uses a wheelchair, and honestly, I completely spaced on checking accessibility details beforehand. Huge oversight on my part. BUT – the B&B, surprisingly, had a solid game. The website claims they have facilities for disabled guests, and, praise be, they delivered. The elevator was a reasonable size (thank God, I've had nightmares about elevators resembling phone booths!), and the room we had, though not HUGE, was definitely maneuverable. Plus, the front door was smooth to open and close. They even had accessible bathrooms – I was genuinely, pleasantly shocked. This is a massive win in Portugal, where accessibility can be, shall we say, sporadic. Seriously, A+ for accessibility.
Room & Amenities: My Sanity Savers!
The room? CLEAN. And after battling airport germs and questionable airplane air, cleanliness is the most important thing. They're not kidding about the free Wi-Fi. Everywhere. Aaaand it’s fast, which is a godsend when you're trying to rebook flights in a panic! They have a mini-bar, a godsend when your blood sugar plummets at 3 am. (Oh, and free bottled water – vital after all the questionable airplane H2O). The bed was comfy (seriously, I slept like a log!), and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver (that Lisbon sun is BRIGHT!). The desk? Okay, it's not a luxurious corner office, but it worked perfectly well for me to get some writing done (and ranting about delayed flights, obviously).
- The Real Truth About the Rooms: Yes, some rooms probably do open to the exterior, and some rooms have soundproofing. This is the benefit of staying there and seeing what happens.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Coffee Crisis!)
Okay, let's talk food. The "Breakfast [buffet]" was… well, it was breakfast. There was a decent selection of the basics – pastries, fruit, cereal, the works. They also offer Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, and a Vegetarian restaurant -- this is handy for those picky eaters or in need of gluten-free food. But the REAL star was the in-room coffee/tea maker! After 10 hours of travel, that first cup was pure bliss. They also have a coffee shop with deserts, which is a godsend when your blood sugar plummets at 3 am.
- My "Almost Disaster" Tale: I overslept. Like, really overslept. Missed breakfast entirely! But, they offered a "Breakfast takeaway service" – and as a result I managed to grab a coffee and a croissant before running out the door to catch a train. Saved my bacon, they did!
Location, Location, Location! (and the Taxi Hustle)
The "Perfect Location!" is not an exaggeration. It's literally right near the airport. Like, a stumbling distance away. Airport transfer is availiable. The fact the hotel is so close to the airport had made my stay simple and made my entire trip much more convenient. No frantic taxi rides in rush hour traffic. Plus, there's a taxi service available. I even saw a "Car park [on-site]" and a "Car park [free of charge]" option. However, I didn't use them, as I was traveling by train.
The "Nice to Haves" (and Where They Could Improve)
- Spa/Sauna/Pool? Okay, so the "things to do" list mentions a pool, sauna, steamroom. I didn't see any of those things. Maybe they're in some secret wing of the hotel for VIPs. It's totally possible I missed them, but let's be real, I'd have found those things.
- Fitness Center: Same deal. No gym in sight. Now, I am not a gym-goer, so I don't care. But for those of you who need your daily dose of iron, that’s something to consider.
- Internet [LAN] There is a mention of a LAN. However, after asking at the reception, this was not available.
Cleanliness and Safety – Breathe Easy!
Right now, in a world swimming with germs, this stuff matters. The hotel staff were wearing masks, and there were hand sanitizer stations everywhere. I saw them constantly disinfecting surfaces. They have an "Anti-viral cleaning products" guarantee, and it genuinely felt clean. Also, the option to "Room sanitization opt-out available" feels like a good option to have. Their "Daily disinfection in common areas" had me feeling safe. They have "Hand sanitizer". Plus, there were multiple "Fire extinguisher" and "Smoke alarms".
Overall Impression… and My Unsolicited Advice
Look, this isn't a five-star luxury palace. But for a budget-friendly, conveniently located B&B near Lisbon Airport? It’s a winner. It’s clean, comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I managed to check out through the "Contactless check-in/out" service, which was useful after my flight. The prices are unbeatable. The location is perfect. Don't expect the moon and the stars, and you'll be thrilled.
My Quirky Observations…
- The "Wake-up service" was… okay. The alarm was a little aggressive, let's just say!
- The "essential condiments" in the room were pretty basic. Next time, I'm bringing my own chili oil.
- Why, oh why, are there never enough plugs by the bed?! I needed to charge my phone, tablet, and noise-cancelling headphones. I was constantly juggling.
The Final Verdict: Book It!
If you're looking for a stress-free, affordable, and conveniently located hotel near Lisbon Airport, book the Lisbon Airport B&B. You won't regret it. Heck, you might even get me, if I have a connection through Lisbon. But get some sleep, trust me.

Escape to Paradise: Parkhotel Zur Linde, Italy Awaits
Alright, buckle up, buttercups. This ain't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is… my attempt at a Lisbon adventure, starting from the… charmingly utilitarian B&B Hotel Lisboa Aeroporto. Let's dive in, shall we?
PRE-TRIP PANIC (but let's pretend I planned this, haha):
- Flight: Okay, so booking the flight was a catastrophe. I swear, I spent like, three hours comparing prices, accidentally clicked on a flight to… I don't know, Iceland? Finally, I landed (pun intended) on something that didn't require selling a kidney. Ryanair. Pray for me.
- Packing: My usual strategy: cram everything I own (and maybe a few things I don't own) into a suitcase, then panic about whether I brought enough socks. The answer is always no, by the way.
- Pre-Departure Anxiety: Did I remember to turn off the iron? Are my cats plotting my demise while I'm gone? I'm sure they're fine, I’m sure. (Okay, maybe I should call my neighbor again…)
DAY 1: Arrival, Airport Anxiety & Pastel de Nata Heaven.
- Morning (or what felt like the middle of the night): Arrived at Lisbon Airport, bleary-eyed and fueled by airport coffee that tasted suspiciously like burnt gasoline. Finding the hotel shuttle was a small triumph, mostly because I didn't wander around aimlessly for an hour. The B&B Hotel Lisboa Aeroporto itself? Well, let's just say it's a hotel. Clean, functional, and the perfect embodiment of "airport convenience." Let’s be honest, the view from my window is more "industrial estate chic" than "romantic Lisbon vista," but hey, I’m not here to judge architecture, just to… survive.
- Mid-Morning: First mission: find amazing Pastel de Nata. I’d read up on this, of course. (Read: glanced at a travel blog once.) Found a place recommended by a particularly enthusiastic blogger. Oh my god. These were divine. Like, melt-in-your-mouth, custard-filled perfection. I ate three. Don't judge me! The crumbly pastry, the creamy filling… I'm pretty sure a tiny angel choir sang when I took the first bite. I may never stop thinking about Pastéis de Nata.
- Afternoon: City Centre exploration. The metro was surprisingly easy, and I somehow managed to navigate a few stations without getting hopelessly lost. The architecture in downtown Lisbon? Wow. I mean, seriously, wow. The light, the colors, the tiles… It’s all incredibly beautiful. I wandered around Praça do Comércio in awe, then got completely overwhelmed by the crowds and kinda had to sit down for a while with a bottle of water and a deep breath.
- Evening: Dinner at a small "tasca" (a traditional Portuguese restaurant). I ordered the "Bacalhau à Brás" which, despite my initial confusion about what “bacalhau” actually was (codfish, folks), was incredibly delicious. The whole place felt incredibly authentic. The conversation over dinner wasn't easy, trying to figure out a few words to say, but the food's goodness and the overall feeling was just great. Got completely lost trying to find my way back to the hotel. Found a tiny, hidden park and sat there for a while, watching the stars. Eventually, I stumbled back, exhausted but happy.
DAY 2: Tram Troubles, Tile Obsession & Fado… Or Attempted Fado.
- Morning: My plan was to ride the iconic Tram 28. My. God. The crowds! The jostling! It was like a sardine can on wheels. The tram itself is gorgeous, winding up through the narrow streets. Amazing views. But the amount of time I could actually enjoy it was minimal.
- Mid-Morning: Tile Appreciation (aka, being a total tile-obsessed weirdo): Lisbon tiles. The Azulejos. They are everywhere. I spent a good hour just wandering around, stopping to photograph every single tile I saw. My phone is now full of tile pictures. I may or may not have considered stealing a tile. Don't tell anyone.
- Afternoon: Getting Lost, Again: Decided to explore the Alfama district. Got gloriously, wonderfully lost. Wandered down tiny alleyways, peeked into courtyards, and felt like I'd stepped back in time. Found a small, sun-drenched square and listened to someone practicing a traditional Portuguese instrument—I think it was a guitar? A really beautiful, haunting sound that brought a tear to my eye.
- Evening: Fado Fiasco: Ah, Fado. The soulful, melancholy music of Portugal. I booked a restaurant that promised a "Fado experience." I wasn't disappointed… until the music started. The singers were good, absolutely. Amazing voices. But the tiny table I was placed at, the loud conversation of a group next to me… it didn't quite have the magic I imagined. Don't get me wrong, it was still nice, but it felt a little… forced? I ended up sneaking out to smoke a cigarette in the cold and staring up at the stars, thinking about how completely and utterly human this trip was already turning out to be.
DAY 3: Sintra Serenity, Coastal Dreams & the Long Walk Home (?)
- Morning: Sintra Symphony: Taking a day trip to Sintra was a must. The train was a breeze. The Pena Palace? Jaw-dropping. The colors, the fairytale architecture, the views… it was like stepping into a Disney movie. (Or maybe a Wes Anderson film? I can't decide!). Took way too many photos, and may have gotten distracted by a particularly charming stray dog.
- Afternoon: Coastal Bliss: Spent the afternoon at the coast. Walked along Carcavelos beach, breathing in the salty air, and watching the waves. The vastness of the ocean, the feel of the sun on my skin… pure, unadulterated bliss. Had some cheap, but delicious, seafood. Tried to imagine a life where I could just… live near the ocean like it.
- Evening: Lost (again!) and the Long Walk: Got a completely different train home. Not on purpose. Got off at the wrong station. And then, I thought, "I can handle this". So I walked! I looked at the map! I felt, I was sure, that I could walk back to the hotel. A huge mistake. Three hours later, exhausted, thirsty, and with aching feet, I stumbled back into the B&B, utterly defeated and questioning all my life choices.
DAY 4: The Airport Departure (and lingering Pastéis de Nata cravings)
- Morning: Up early for the dreaded flight. Dragging my suitcase, which is now considerably heavier thanks to all the souvenirs (and, let's be honest, all the extra pastries).
- Departure: Airport security, the long queue, the boarding… Nothing special, so I decided to grab one last Pastel de Nata. It hit the spot.
- Emotional Reaction: Oh, Lisbon, you glorious, messy, beautiful place. You've tested my patience, filled my soul, and made me laugh out loud at my own ridiculousness. I'm already planning my return. And next time? I'm bringing extra socks. And maybe a tile. (Shhh!)
- Final Thoughts: Overall, and despite all the imperfections, the getting lost, the bad decisions, the crammed trams, the language barriers, I loved this trip. It was exhausting, expensive, and exactly what I needed. And I'll never forget the taste of those, oh, those perfect pastéis de nata.

Okay, seriously, is this Lisbon Airport B&B *actually* in a "perfect location"? 'Cause I saw a rat once, and "perfect" became... questionable, ya know?
"Unbeatable Prices"? Is that code for "creaky bed and questionable plumbing"? Because my bladder is already questionable after that last flight.
What's the check-in situation like? I'm notorious for arriving at places at 3 AM looking like I've wrestled a bear.
How about actually BOOKING the place? Is it easier than finding a decent cup of coffee in Rome?
What are the rooms *actually* like? Be honest. Are they the size of a postage stamp?
Do they have Wi-Fi? Because I'm basically a digital nomad, clinging to my phone for dear life.
Okay, I need to be at the airport at 6 AM. Is this B&B actually *convenient* for that horror show of an hour?
Is it noisy? Like, plane-taking-off-right-outside-your-window noisy? Because I have zero tolerance for noise.
Breakfast? Is there a breakfast? And is it any GOOD? I need my morning caffeine.
