VIP Executive Eden Aparthotel

Good spot, value and location. With a roof top pool.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the start of our Portugal city break mini tour.
The hotel was easy to find, with the metro right outside and the reception was welcoming. It's a big imposing building so easy to find.

Our room was on the 7th floor, so was a nice height, but we didn't have much of a view to the rear. The room was large with a large bathroom, including bath, comfortable beds and a little kitchenette. Although the decoration is a little tired, it's ok. Would have been nice to have some cleaning products on room {washing up liquid and a sponge].

The roof top pool is a good size with about 20 beds and additional seating area around the bar. It has good views to the coast, but is quite cold.

All in all a good hotel and good value, it's location is a great point to explore from top.

The location of the VIP Eden Hotel is a 5! Being location in the center of the city near the train station and square makes its very walkable. However, the rooms are a 2 and require a much needed update and cleaning especially the carpeted areas!

Really loved this hotel and the location was spectacular. We did hop on off bus from the front door and were able to walk most places. The room was lovely and we were lucky to get a balcony unit. Pool / rooftop terrace was really beautiful; enjoyed the expansive breakfast that was offered there. Only negative was a random sewer smell from the bathroom at times. Otherwise would have been 5's all the way. I know it's an older building and we are not so fussy as some so it didn't bother us so much as it might others.

Excellent hotel/apartment with plenty of facilities.

Great location and very handy for transport links.

Rooms were very spacious and well looked after. Apartment rooms had everything needed for a pleasant stay.

Iron, microwave,fridge and safe all available.

We arrived at the hotel and felt positive as the reception is very clean and nice, as we got to the hallway of where our room was we realise it probably wouldn't be great - stained red carpets and corridors that you had to turn lights on yourself otherwise you'd be walking in pitch black, reminded me of the start of a horror film.

When we got to our room it seemed clean and spacious so I was happy with that, when I went to the bathroom we noticed that the toilet didn't flush, the bath was dirty, had imprints of an old bath mat in and had black spots all over the bath. As I used the hairdryer I burnt myself as I didn't notice there was wires hanging out of the hairdryer leaving the heat exposed to my wrist and arm.

The carpet in the bedroom was covered in similar stains to the carpet outside the rooms so I'm unsure what this was from but could've easily been cleaned with a carpet cleaner. Due to how dirty our room and bathroom was we didn't want to chance the pool.

We had to complain to 2 different staff members about our room, the second guy was extremely helpful, he moved us to another room on the same floor and gave us complimentary breakfast.

The second room was definitely a lot cleaner but still not worth the price we paid. The breakfast was standard to what you'd find abroad, I personally wasn't a fan of it but the room was busy so must've been popular - the pictures aren't what you actually get though.

Overall the hotel was ok, I'd say it should be a 2 or 3 star rather than a 4, the location was near shops if that's what you're after, we booked as it was advertised as close to barrio alto but this was a 20 minute walk (all up hill).

Probably wouldn't stay again unless it was at a cheaper rate,
