Moxy Lisboa Oriente

The highlight was the staff. I arrived with a bicycle in a box which I needed to unpack, leaving the box until my return to the hotel at the end of the trip. They could not have been more helpful at both ends of my trip. The hotel is also very conveniently located for the airport, taking trains and using buses including Flixbus.

The purpose was an overnight stay before an early flight the following am. & it was absolutely perfect. The hotel proved to be well located for our purpose. The Orient Stn which runs to the airport is right across the street. We dropped off our luggage mid Am at the hotel & fortunately they could give us our room….Bonus! We then dropped the car off @ the airport & did a test run….Mocy Orient its 3 stops away from the airport. From the orient stop to downtown it took about 35 min & a change from the red line to the green..,again Easy. The hotel is newer, very comfortable, quiet & seemed like a safe area.

This was our 2nd stay at the Moxy. It's a great hotel; part of the Marriott Bonvoy collection. A bit on the expensive side for a night before departing for the airport, but well worth it. The hotel is clean, super modern, professionally run and has a cool, humorous hipster vibe which we liked so much, we wanted to enjoy a 2nd time. The room isn't terribly big, but spotlessly clean and very functional. Both stays we looked out over the train station, which was awesome. I know that sounds crazy, but the Oriente Train station has beautiful architecture, especially at night. (The photo below was taken from our hotel window). Bed, bathroom and wifi all excellent. Also, if you are arriving back from another area of Portugal, be SURE to check out the Flixbus (download their app. It is a fabulous bus system: spotless, comfortable, free wifi/charging and such a great deal). The bus station is right across the street from the Moxy making it super convenient for an overnight stay before departing from the airport in the morning. Also, the Moxy is very close to the shopping center and river walk with lot's of restaurants to pick from. BTY, our cab ride to the airport was 10 euros.

The hotel is situated very close to the train and bus and metro station -literally a 2 minute walk. There is a large multi level shopping centre behind the station and a large grocery store. This is a newer hotel, very clean, great breakfast buffet and very comfortable beds. The check in desk doubles as a bar, quite unique. The room had very good soundproofing as I barely heard the trains or traffic. The room darkening curtains are fantastic. I was in a corner room with the station light blaring into my room. At night I closed the curtains and they had a magnetic strip on them which attached to the wall. Total darkness.

We stumbled upon Parque das Nações by a chance comment from a Lisbon taxi-driver. After our various flight cancellations and delays we needed to spend an extra night in Lisbon so we chose this hotel. Check-in was perfect - 24hr reception - we arrived at 1:30am and all went smoothly. Two rooms - double for me and my wife, twin room for our sons - both spotless, comfortable beds, great A/C, lovely shower. The breakfast was very good - a self-service buffet - more than adequate. We used the hotel's luggage store the following day. All was good.
