a conveniently located budget hotel behind the Hard Rock Cafe and only a block away from
Av. Liberdade, a busy street known for high-end shopping. The 36 rooms are clean, but dated, and all have private bathrooms and TVs, but they lack Wi-Fi. However, free Wi-Fi is available in the
reception and breakfast room, where a free limited breakfast of bread and jam is served. Guests looking for something a little more modern should compare rates with the mid-range Holiday Inn Express Lisbon - Av. Liberdade.
Scene
Charming building with minimally decorated interiors
Popular with vacationers on a budget, Pensao Residencial Portuense is located on a cobblestoned street inside a pretty
sky-blue building with wrought-iron balconies. But inside, decor is limited in the rooms and common areas. There’s a small wooden desk in the
lobby and a circle of red and white chairs behind an accordion
room divider where guests can sit and access the free Wi-Fi. An elevator is available
to bring guests up to their rooms, and stairways have white walls and wooden steps.
Breakfast is served in a plain, white-walled room with patterned
wallpaper up to the chair rail molding and tables with blue tablecloths and dark
chairs.
