Pensao Residencial Princesa - Lisbon, Portugal     

This is an good citytrip hotel. Nothing special. The rooms ar nice and clean. Breakfast is a bit moderate. But generally an good hotel. The bus to the centre of Lisboa stops in front of the hotel.

I spent five happy days at the Residencial Princesa. My room was clean and bright and had everything I needed (private bathroom, decent shower, hairdryer, tv, phone and air con). I didn't really have a view from my window but I didn't expect one as the price for the room is so cheap. There is also a safe which you can rent in the room. You need to put down a deposit of 10 euros. The rental is 1.50 euros a day. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and breakfast was included in the price. There was a good variety of foods for breakfast which were all fresh - cereals, toast, bread rolls, sweet pastries, cheese, ham, butter, jam etc. plus tea, coffee, hot chocolate and juice. The breakfast room is very clean as well. The walk down into town takes about 20 minutes or so but I recommend getting the bus which stops right outside the hotel. It costs 1.30 euros if you haven't got a travel card. The walk back is very uphill so definately get the bus back! It goes from Figueira Square - number 790. The hotel has a lift and also internet access available for a small fee (I think it was 3 euro's for 15 minutes) There's a post office just to the left of the hotel and if you walk up to the right you'll find some bars and cash machines. I really enjoyed my stay here and as I will be going back to Lisbon, I do intend to stay there again.
