We stayed 3 nights at the Lavra hotel. General impression - nice, small, modern guest house with nice roof top terrace. The location is good - only a 10 minute walk down to Moniz square/Rossio with the metro station or Tram 28 stop. It is a steep walk though, which was fine with us, however if you're not used to walking stairs/uphill, this might be an issue. The street is a typical Lisbon street - steep, narrow, a bit in decay. If you are driving, there is a paid parking garage only a 5 min walk away. You can prepay 24 hours for 9 Euro which is pretty cheap. We stayed on the 1st floor facing the street the first 2 nights. Room is very small with modern furnishings. We generally don't spend much time in hotel rooms, so it worked for us. Be aware that the street at night can be very loud - children playing, garbage trucks, etc. The triple glazed window takes care of the noise, however there is no air condition in the room...so you won't get any fresh air if you close the window. The last night we had to move to a different room (due to our own doing) - it was an inside room opening to an inside courtyard. Decent room, however very dark and the only "window" is the entrance door which if left open doesn't leave any privacy. The room does...We stayed 3 nights at the Lavra hotel.

If you're claustrophobic, this might not be the room for you. Breakfast was included in our booking - you can add it for 5 Euro a person. Frankly - pretty basic breakfast, if I had to pay separately, I would go out to a pastelaria instead. All in all, it worked for us.More
