I stayed in Martinhal Oriente for one week over Easter with my 5 year old son. We have stayed in the Martinhal jn Sagres a few times and the one in Cascais before it was sold and I love the brand for the child-friendly philosophy. I decided to try the new Oriente hotel as Easter fell too early for a beach holiday and we love exploring cities. It was an absolutely perfect holiday. The apartments are very well-equipped for a family holiday with an excellent small kitchen which gave us the option of cooking a few nights, and a washer-drier. The bedrooms are also away from the corridor which means they are much quieter than in other hotels and very comfortable. The pool area was perfect with a small child and the kids room is really well equipped for a range of ages up to teenagers (pool table and gaming screens). The staff are helpful, attentive to children which is really lovely because kids are often treated as invisible in other hotels, and always very friendly. We recognised Seema, the hotel manager, from our time in Cascais two years ago and she was delightful as ever. Very much on top of all the details in the hotel and quick to react when my son had a little accident out and about in Lisbon. The location is a bit outside the city but we used a combination of Metro and Ubers to get around. We visited the aquarium (just two blocks away) twice, the zoo, the natural history museum and botanical gardens, did a boat trip, and explored the city and the Castelo San Jorge. Fortunately Lisbon has so much to see and do that we would happily go back and not repeat the same experiences. The breakfast and dinners were very good and the Easter Sunday brunch was a particular treat. I would highly recommend a visit. We chose Oriente over the Chiado Martinhal because of the pools and it was a great choice. We didn’t even leave the hotel one of the days which is exceptional for a city hotel!
