Great hotel, staff extremely helpful and professional. I was very satisfied!

We stayed at the Fontana Park Hotel in July 2011. It's a very slick hotel. The hallways are very dark and the room numbers are on the floor. Room was spacious and clean. Warning: if you are traveling with family or friends you do not wish to expose yourself to, this may not be an appropriate hotel for you. The showers are glass (see-through) and look directly at the bed in the bed area. If you are standing in the bedroom, you can also see your roommate sitting on the toilet, unless they choose to pull the door in front of them (which would leave them in the dark).

The gentleman at the front desk who checked us in was very nice and gave us an upgrade since our room was not yet ready. Wi Fi was in and out - the staff said they weren't sure when it would be fixed. When asking for restaurant recommendations, we were pushed to high-end places, so do your research before you arrive.

This is my second time at the Fontana, first was for Valentines Day and Ive stayed on a Deluxe Room and it all went quite smooth, this time not so well.

The staff at the reception were two young ladies, very cold, very grumpy. At the check in it was like if they were doing us a favour to check us in. When we got to the room the blinds wouldn't work, after calling the reception it took 4 hours for them to check it out. As we stayed at the rooms on the back the noise was terrible, not only from neighbours but also from the AC machines they had downstairs. We could feel the the windows were not closing properly cause we could feel cold air reaching us from the window.

The bathtub you can't turn the water on without getting all wet, plus its terrible to adjust the water temperature cause it had no indication where to turn hot or cold. Another downside is the toilet, you need to sit on the toilet with the door open otherwise your knees will hit the door.

The hotel looks great as always but terribly non functional. Its a shame..

I do like design hotels, but the ones that makes me feel comfortable and does the basic stuff with no problems. Its not the case.

Im afraid I won't be coming back..

My wife and I were on a 4 night city break, our first time in Lisbon. The Fontana Park is an a good location in Lisbon, walking distance from 2 different metro lines.
The hotel is very stylishly decorated and we both loved this. This was apparent as soon as we walked into the lobby. Our standard room was average size, with a shower above the bath. There was no view as the hotel was surrounded by residential and office blocks.
There was a good selection of continental breakfast and real coffee from a proper machine, not the filtered stuff.
There were 2 small malls 50 metres away both with food courts and acouple of restaurants.
