We stayed here for one night at the end of the Optimus Alive Fesitival in Alges. We chose it as it was central Lisbon, so not far to walk from the Cais de Soldre train station. The room was clean and light and traditionally decorated. The hotel is not plush and nor does it advertise to be, but the location... More

The hotel is an excellent value with clean rooms, great location, and a most friendly staff and owners. More

This place is very well located for Lisbon, but that's about it. Don't worry about the reviews about "unsavory characters" They are just the local population and won't cause any problems. However, the issue is that to get in you have to be "buzzed" in by the 24 hr on duty person. Rooms are on multiple floors and you have... More

No big faults with this place, located right in the center of the city. However, irritations include: 1. The hotel is in a particularly sketchy area, frequented by prostitutes, drunks, the homeless, and drug dealers. Having said that, you are unlikely to be troubled by these people, and some of you might like the edgyness. 2. If you are an... More

Unbeatably good value: scrupulously clean, well kept, comfortable, and secure pensao in a brilliant location. Family who run it are unobtrusively helpful. There are no frills, as previous reviewers have said, but it means that you don't end up paying for things you don't want. It just does the basic thing brilliantly. More

We came to this pension after we left a youth hostel which we didn't like at all. This place is very conveniently and central located. It is very clean and the staff is friendly, although they didn't speak much English and no German. They don't serve breakfast, but there are cafes nearby, so that is no problem. More

My brother, sister and I stayed at the Pensao Residencial Geres for 4 nights in early November. The hotel's location is very good. At the intersection of the eating lane and the shopping area. It is within walking distance to everything. I read some comments about the unsavory neighborhood of the hotel. Not so. Lisbon's African population does get together... More

My partner and I were in Lisbon for 4 nights in June 2009. I had had difficult time choosing a hotel from website because I had felt Lisbon's prices were quite high (even compared to Paris where we live!) so we finally found Geres in a French guide book and booked it for two nights. We thought we would find... More

My husband, my two teenager sons and I are just back from the Easter holiday in Lisbon where we spent 6 nights at Pensao Geres. If you are in a budget (and if you are not too oversized) I recommend this place. The rooms are tiny and the shower incredibly small. The advantages are a clean place, friendly hosts, comfortable...
