On booking this small hotel (should be rather referred to as "pensao" in the terminology used in Portugal), I had little doubts because of very scarse information I had been able to find on it in the web (i.e. no own website). Fortunately, this place turned out to deserve a very positive opinion, if it comes to the "price-value" ratio. As far as I know, it is by far one of the cheapest places to stay in Lisbon, but it offers a decent standard in a good location (city centre, near the Pombal-square). The building and the area are all right, the rooms spacious enough for two people so as not to constantly bump against each other or the furniture. Not many guests (mid July!), silence and a sense of tranqulility. Own bathroom (cleaned with a daily towels exchange) and... air conditioning! This was a very nice surprise for we were in Lisbon in July with a temperature exceeding 30C, and the AC did greatly help us to survive! The hotel owner - speaking a decent English, which is not too often the case in Portugal - was also very welcoming and on our departure day let us check-out in late evening (instead of the common "before midday") without any problems or additional fee. Generally: a recommendable place, definitely worth the money spent!
