A small (11 room) and homey two star pension right in downtown Lisbon, in the Baixa near Rossio station. Conveniently located and fairly inexpensive (5,000$00 for a single, or US$22.15) at the time I stayed there. A recent web listing quotes a € 35 ($46.39) price for a single. Alas.

Washing facilities are in the room, but the toilet is down the hall. There's a TV room, also down the hall. Staff are friendly.

There's a website that says there were mice the last day someone stayed there. That was in 2000, and the comment still shows up. I didn't see any mice there when I stayed there, so maybe they had the exterminators in.

I liked the place, anyway. It was homey, and they let me put perishables in the fridge in their kitchen.
