Situated directly in front of the Parque metro station, guests frequently mention the convenience this offers for exploring the city.

The proximity to public transportation is highlighted as particularly advantageous with bus connections, including an airport bus, located nearby as well. Additionally, the area is described as peaceful yet central, ensuring guests can enjoy a quiet stay while being close to vibrant city life. Nearby amenities such as supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and parks add to the location's appeal, enhancing the overall experience. Overall, Residencial Horizonte's location receives high marks for its strategic placement and convenient access, solidifying its reputation as a well-positioned accommodation choice in Lisbon.
Breakfast
Residencial Horizonte offers a breakfast experience that is generally considered satisfactory by its guests with numerous comments highlighting its adequacy and variety. While the breakfast is often described as simple, it includes essentials and the buffet-style service provides several options, both sweet and savory. Notably, many guests found the breakfast delicious, sufficient and even exceeding expectations given the price point. Positive mentions include the fresh and unlimited ingredients and some guests particularly enjoyed the hearty and rich offerings.
However, there are recurring notes of limited variety and repetitive options day after day. Some guests felt that the breakfast could benefit from more diverse choices, including more fruit and vegetables and improvements in the quality of the bread and coffee. Despite these upgradable aspects, the breakfast is often appreciated for its value for money and its ability to meet basic morning needs, especially given the convenient location and friendly staff service enhancing the overall experience.
Rooms
Residencial Horizonte offers a mix of experiences for its guests with a predominant charm due to its helpful and friendly staff and its strategic location near a metro station and the city center. The rooms, while clean and adequately maintained, tend to be small and often outdated with some featuring spacious layouts and nice views, including balconies overlooking a park. However, the facilities and furniture are notably old-fashioned and there are issues with room and bathroom sizes, soundproofing and maintenance in some cases. Cleanliness is generally appreciated with rooms being tidied daily. Despite the mix of reviews, those seeking a basic, functional stay at a modest hotel in a prime Lisbon location may find Residencial Horizonte meets their needs.
Beds
The reviews of 'Residencial Horizonte' reveal a mixed reception concerning the beds. Many guests appreciated comfortable beds and quality bedding, highlighting these as notable positives. Some guests found the beds sufficiently cozy with comfortable amenities rounding out their stay.
However, a recurring criticism pertains to the hardness of the mattresses with many describing them as very hard or akin to laying on a box with springs protruding. Several guests noted that the beds were small or narrow and that double beds were often simply two singles pushed together, creating an uncomfortable gap. Bed noise was another common grievance with squeaky frames and noisy mattresses frequently mentioned.
There were also isolated but serious complaints about bed cleanliness, including mentions of bed bugs and dirty or stained linens. Despite these issues, a segment of guests did find their beds comfortable, though overall, the reviews suggest significant room for improvement in terms of bed quality and maintenance.
Cleanliness
Residencial Horizonte showcases a mixed record of cleanliness based on guest reviews. Positively, many guests highlighted the overall cleanliness and daily maintenance of the rooms. Clean sheets, frequent towel changes and well-kept common areas were frequently mentioned. Words like "very clean," "excellently clean rooms," and "impeccable cleanliness" reflect a consistent standard upheld by the housekeeping staff.
Despite these positives, there were notable exceptions. Several reviews pointed out issues such as stained sheets, torn towels, mold in the bathrooms, dirty carpets, musty smells and overlooked areas during cleaning. The outdated decor and furnishings in many rooms also drew criticism, impacting perceptions of cleanliness and overall ambiance.
In summary, while many guests found Residencial Horizonte to be clean and well-maintained, repeated comments about dated interiors and occasional lapses in cleaning suggest room for improvement. For the budget-conscious traveler who prioritizes cleanliness but can overlook some outdated elements, this hotel may be an adequate choice.
