I stay here on business a lot so I have got to know this hotel and its friendly staff well.It is small and not luxury but very good.Some rooms are small, some are large. Bathrooms are modern and lovely with nice toiletries.The breakfasts are excellent buffet.Lunch time restaurant is very busy with business diners and tourists - good value menu.The restaurant is less busy in the evenings.There is a small bar with TV and sport usually on.Free wifi.

Since we've never visited Lisbon before and we chose to stay for 9 days, we really longed for comfortable hotel with modern amenities and nice metro/bus connection. In January we started to organise the trip but hotel was the last thing we reserved and paid. Until our decision was made, we opted for Myriad Sana, but our friends who later joined us from Madrid insisted upon Zenit hotel. I find it rather strange while browsing for hotel breakfast in other hotels and was either too expensive or not available. We like to have breakfast in hotel and my husband rates the quality of the hotel and the whole trip on how good the breakfast was. And he was most impressed with it! Good service, nice food and just excellent. I hope I can help with this review to another someone, who hopelessly rumbles around Tripadvisor and tries to find a nice hotel with excellent breakfast. We were on the 7th floor and our Wi-fi was fast and good. The room had a nice view, very clean - not clean - spotless and it happened for the first time that my room had as good hair dryer as I have at home. Toilet is behind bathroom doors so I feared my hubby might smash my head or I can smash his, but we learned to avoid the hazard by not disturbing each other so we survived:))) Mini bar isn't so expensive and we also have to keep our pills in a cold place. We filled our mini bar with pills and nobody bothered us with it. The cleaning lady was super nice, honest, patient and we left the tip for her. She deserved it. The reception stuff was super friendly and helpful. Normally we don't use their help so much. But when we asked for help about anything, they were very professional and helpful and I just have to compliment them. I would chose this hotel again in a heartbeat. I worked in tourism for 15 years, travelled the world and changed several hotels. And Zenit has everything what should have and more for the money they charge. Once again - special thanks for the breakfast guys, cleaning lady, hotel receptionists and all who made our stay comfortable.

We stayed here on an overnight layover in Lisbon. The hotel was convenient to the subway; easy to get to from the airport. Room was comfortable, large, quiet, clean. Desk staff were helpful. They have a small bar in the lobby, restaurant inside (we didn't eat there) and more dinning options nearby. We had to get up too early for breakfast. Desk staff arranged a cab to the airport for us (before the subway was running.) This went smoothly.

This is a clean, very reasonably priced hotel in the Saldanha neighborhood of Lisbon, a couple of Metro stops from the historic downtown. There was nothing particularly special about the mid-size room or common areas, but they suited us fine for five nights in April. Contrary to other reviews we've read, we had no problems with noise from other rooms or the street, although we could easily hear any voices in the corridor. The WiFi was spotty to nonexistent most of the time, but we often used the computer in a nook near the bar to check our e-mail and surf the web. Breakfast, if not included, is 10 Euros (a bit steep), but it offers a lot more than the typical Portuguese breakfast, which is usually coffee and toast or a pastry. Although not a tourist hot spot, the area surrounding the hotel was a lively urban neighborhood with a fair amount to interest first-time travelers. The monument in Saldanha Square is impressive and there are lots of old buildings, dragons' teeth sidewalks and tiled facades to look at. There are some decent dining options. Two nights we walked to restaurants - one very good nouveau (Sessenta) and one more traditional but a bit too touristy (O Campos). Our favorite local eatery was Pastelaria Castelo Branco (right across the street), where we ate breakfast and lunch several times and had many conversations with staff and patrons in mixed Portuguese/English. We didn't have time for the Gulbenkian Museum, which is world class and also walking distance. Note that even though the Zenit is quite close to the Metro, we found it very difficult to find the hotel after getting to street level: our map lacked some street names and many streets lacked adequate signage, and no one of the many passers-by stopped to help two travelers staring befuddled at a map. The biggest negative was the front desk staff, who were businesslike at best, but also by turns, cold, rude, snobby, impatient or fake polite with an undertone of 'Why are you bothering me?' Their directions were often useless and we became lost numerous times. When we asked about one local restaurant (Sessenta, above), the front desk (apparently hoping we'd choose the in-house restaurant instead) told us it had closed down. They also had an odd rule that we couldn't put our restaurant leftovers in the mini-bar fridge and that we would be charged for every item we removed to make room for them. (They offered us the use of the kitchen fridge instead, eight floors down.) Overall, a good value in a good location that will meet the needs of travelers who don't want coddling.

I stayed at the Zenit for three nights in March. I chose this hotel based on previous positive experiences and a good rate of EUR 50.- /night (tax included).The Zenit, while not in the very center of historic Lisbon, is well connected and well situated near Saldanha in a nice area. You can walk to Rossio in approx. 30 minutes. It¿¿¿s a nice walk along Av. Fontes Pereira De Melo, Marques Pombal and Av. Liberdade. At Saldanha you have access to two Metro lines (Red line to the Airport and to Parque do Nacoes and Yellow Line to Marques de Pombal and Rato for Jardim Estrella). There are also couple of helpful bus lines at Saldanha; e.g. 736 for Marques de Pombal, Rossio, Baixa and Cais do Sodre, 738 for Estrella and 727 for Belem. At Saldanha you will also find a Shopping Center and a Continente Supermarket two or three blocks away.As for the hotel itself, check in and check out were friendly and fast. The room was on the smaller side but nicely decorated in a modern style and felt comfortable. In my case the room was on the top floor of the building with windows that could be opened, which I always consider a big plus. The room as well as the spacious bathroom were spotlessly clean. I found the bed to be very comfortable. The Shower was good. The water pressure was rather weak, but the water temperature was constant, so it was really ok. WLAN was included in the rate and was working well. A really pleasant stay.I did not have breakfast at the hotel this time, but I remember it from previous stays as being varied and of good quality. As it was not included in the rate, I rather opted for the various little cafes and pastelarias that can be found all over town for a quick breakfast snack.So the Zenit again provided for a very nice stay. As its rates are regularly among the best for 4* hotels in Lisbon, I believe this really a great choice and I am looking forward to returning to the Zenit on future trips to this great city.
