Holiday Inn Express Lisbon Airport, an IHG Hotel

Perfect stay for an airport hotel. Quick 5 minute drive to the airport. Breakfast opens at 6 so we missed the serving due to early flight but frontdesk supplied us with a breakfast bag to take with us. Only issue is thin walls. We had a family with kids in the room next to us that were noisy and made sleeping tough. No big deal as this comes with hotel life but still worth noting. Thin walls so ask for a room with nobody next door if possible. No transfer service included but for a very low price (5 euros) a nice driver in a minivan will take you on time to the airport. If you have a car there is free parking in the courtyard.

This is a convenient hotel operated by a well-known and reliable chain. It’s pretty no frills, although the free breakfast was quite extensive and delicious. We are a family of five and had to book two rooms; it was a little disappointing to see only one bed, along with a single-size pull out couch that wasn’t much better than sleeping on the floor. Their airport shuttle isn’t currently running, which we were aware of ahead of time, however we were assured at check in it would be no problem to call us a cab when we needed to leave for the airport in the morning. When the time came, though, we ended up having to take 2 cabs, as the other option was to wait for a vehicle with 6+ seats to come from Lisbon city centre. I wouldn’t make this my base for an extended stay, but for a long layover or overnight it was convenient, clean, and cheap.
