It was a great place to stay when visiting Lisbon.the staff are so friendly,breakfeast was great and restaurent food excellant.
It is on the outskirts of Lusbon in a quiet area ,bus stop outside Hotel which takes you into the city in 15 min.There is a shopping mall about a 10min walk from Hotel ask at reception for directions.
The room was very nice slept like a baby,very quiet rooms well sound proofed would stay there again when visiting Lisbon.The only down side i had was getting a Taxi to Hotel from Airport was charged 30e when it should have been about 15/20e .When returning to Airport it was only 15 e the reception called one for us.

Lovely theatre in Dublin. Enjoyed seeing a play here. Found the design if the theatre very attractive and it was easy to see the whole stage The seats were fine. There s different priced tickets for different days and seats. Bathrooms were clean and nice (could be more). It s possible to buy wine but you csnt take it inside.

Great Little theatre- book your tickets in advance as it s reputation and the high standard of the productions means it sells out quickly-the theatre is at the top of O Connell Street- it s near buses and the Luas and there s parking near by so there are plenty of options for how you can get there. Famously Orson Welles blagged his way into acting and directing at this theatre before Citizen Kane! (Also watch out for the dashing Floor Manager - he is always impeccably turned out and lays down the rules regarding mobile phones with such an imperious charm that woe betide anyone who ignores him - he s a National Treasure)

I love The Gate Theatre, the intimacy of it & have seen many fantastic performances here over the years. Tonight I have come home, "buzzing" from the phenomenal "Hamlet". Glorious, energetic, evocative acting. Terrific set & costumes. Full marks to the entire team. Take a bow. Thank you for this :)

The Great GATSBY Show is a terrific event. I went with a group of Ladies to this show. All 19 of us dressed up in the 1920's style to fit into and catch the mood of the GATSBY'S. It was a fantastic experience, totally enjoyable. One little complaint, standing around is a bit hard on the feet, legs and back if you are a lady wearing high to low heels! But worth the pain for the experience.

Fantastic venue, staff are so warm and friendly. Comfortable seats and theatre not huge so good views no matter where you sit. The bar area is lovely... Preorder your interval drink as it gets very busy. Nice coffee area with soft drinks water and wine if you don't want to go to bar area. Their productions are always excellent. Most recent visit was the superb A Christmas Carol really excellent production. They sell out fast so book as soon as the tickets go on sale if you don't want to be disappointed.

Went to see the play called "Tribe" last night. Very good story but very, very disappointed view. Very badly designed for ISL interpreter at the stage where we cannot see the play drama very well cos the interpreter is far away on the right edge of the stage. Poor light on ISL interpreter. No awareness for the deaf view. Interpreter should have been on the left side near Drama.
