Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Fontecruz Lisboa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above the 5th floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's address on Avenida da Liberdade, a main thoroughfare, can be noisy. Additionally, opt for rooms on the east side of the hotel to avoid direct sunlight in the morning and enjoy a more gentle morning light.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd) may be noisier due to the hotel's street-level location on Avenida da Liberdade, which can be busy and loud, especially during peak tourist season.
Best views
Rooms on the west side of the hotel (even-numbered rooms) may offer a view of the surrounding cityscape, while rooms on the east side (odd-numbered rooms) face the Avenida da Liberdade.
Quietest floors
The hotel has 10 floors, and rooms on floors 6-10 are likely to be quieter.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests may hear some traffic noise and city sounds from the hotel's location on a main avenue, but the hotel's soundproofing and double-glazed windows should minimize disturbance.
Insider tips
Request a room with a balcony for a more pleasant stay, as it will provide a private outdoor space to enjoy the city views. Consider booking a room with a king-size bed, as the hotel's deluxe rooms often feature these larger beds, which can be a nice upgrade for a comfortable stay.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
