Hotel 3K Barcelona

Hotel 3K Barcelona Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel 3K Barcelona, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect — the name suggests Spain, but here we are in Lisbon‘s Avenidas Novas district. Turns out, that little quirk is just part of the charm of this four-star property. The lobby feels polished without being stuffy, and you immediately get the sense that this place knows what it’s doing. The staff greeted me like I was a returning guest, which actually makes sense when you learn that repeat visitors are way more common here than at most hotels.

Location & Neighborhood

Avenidas Novas might not be the first area tourists think of, but honestly, that’s what makes it great. You’re in a proper Lisbon neighborhood where locals actually live and work, not some tourist bubble. The metro connections are solid — you can reach the historic center in about 15 minutes, but you’ll also find yourself walking to nearby cafés and shops that feel authentically Portuguese. Couples seem to really get this location (they rate it 8.5), and I can see why. There’s something romantic about staying somewhere that feels like real Lisbon rather than a postcard version of it.

The Room Experience

My room was exactly what you’d want from a four-star place — comfortable without trying too hard to impress. The beds are properly firm, which I always appreciate after walking around Lisbon’s hills all day. What struck me most was how quiet everything was, despite being on a busy street. The air conditioning actually works (not always a given in Portugal), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The bathroom is modern and well-lit, though nothing fancy — just good, functional design.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast setup here is honestly impressive — they’ve got continental options, full English if you need something hearty, plus vegetarian and gluten-free choices that don’t feel like afterthoughts. I mean, you can even grab breakfast to go if you’re rushing off to catch an early train or flight. The buffet has a good mix of Portuguese pastries and international staples, and the coffee is strong enough to wake you up properly. There isn’t a full restaurant for dinner, but with Lisbon’s incredible food scene right outside, that’s hardly a problem.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it handles the practical stuff without making a big deal about it. Free private parking in central Lisbon? That’s worth its weight in gold if you’re driving. The fact that so many people come back tells you something — this isn’t about flashy amenities or Instagram-worthy lobbies. It’s about getting the fundamentals right and making sure guests feel looked after. You know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want from a hotel stay.
