2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

We stayed in this hotel for three nights in May. The room was basic, clean, and quiet and the front desk reasonably helpful. Apparently, there are a few rooms with superb castle views; ours was certainly not one of them despite the fact that we requested a room with a castle view. This street is totally seedy, the view from... More

We spent 2 nights in Grande Pensao Residencial Alcobia in March. This is a small hotel in an old historical building in the city centre near Praca da Figueira and Rossio square. It's location is ideal for visiting main sites in the centre, everything is in walking distance (main advantage). This hotel also access easily by Airport bus. The hotel... More

The place was good for a two-star price. Quite tiny room, also minuscule bathroom. No wi-fi in rooms available, elevator from the first floor up (and not from the ground). Staff were friendly enough. Good location too. I wouldn't stay here again, but wasn't horrified by the place. Just a bit too hostel-y. More

We arrived at the Pensao from the Lisbon airport using the Aerobus which dropped us at the Rossio stop several long blocks away, and stayed in Room 203 for three nights at the end of March. Room size good, fairly quiet, view unremarkable, bed firmer than we like, and despite being a nonsmoking room, an unpleasant, pervasive smell of cigarette... More

nice location - close to Rossio and public transportation. Had a view of the castle off the balcony - magnificent! Nice breakfast; rooms large for European standards. Plenty of air conditioning! Could get a port at the bar. Walking distance to Alfama and The Se. More

This hotel has too high of rating. The bathroom is so small, that you have to turn sideways to go past the sink. The room itself was so very basic, really a 2 star hotel. Reasonably clean but too basic to be classed as anything past a 2 star. The staff are too interested in serving the people in the... More

Just back from 3 nights at the Grande Pensao Residencial Alcobia with a group of girlfriends. The hotel is just in the right place to explore from, the aerobus bus stops just around the corner (cost 3.50 euros). The rooms are clean and very nicely decorated and the bathroom we had was a good size. I found the bed to... More

We stayed for 4 nights. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was great apart from the noise from the street with the rubbish removals and the trams but you get used to them. There is a lift but it is on the 1st floor and there are steep stairs to the lift. The breakfast was lovely. The area... More
