Pensão Aljubarrota

It was surprisingly good

I stayed 2 nights in the Pensao Aljubarrota and it suited my needs perfectly, I do hope to stay there again in the future, it might not suit everyone's tastes as it is rather old fashioned, the stairs are very steep and it's a long climb to the 4th floor and there are no TV's in the rooms, but it is very clean, and has a very handy kitchen where guests can cook their own meals, the location is very central and only a short walk from trams, metro, Rossio railway station etc., there are lot's of places to eat nearby and there is a McDonnalds a short walk away with free wifi. This hotel is very reasonably priced and the staff are super friendly and a pleasure to deal with, to sum up the rooms are basic, but it is clean, the location is central and the staff are brilliant.

This hotel was almost like coming home. Yes; the room was small, but we don't need much. And the balcony french windows open on to one of the main shopping streets in the old part of downtown Lisbon. We spoke agreeably every day with the friendly staff here who explained, among other things, that no; I didn't break the french door . . . the way you turn the handle determines whether it's a door to the balcony or a tilt-in window for ventilation. The kitchen is open 24/7. Everything we needed was there . . . fresh fruit, dishes, cookware. Grocery stores are everywhere within a block or two, and we even found refrigerated pasteurized milk (as opposed to packaged sterilized) within three block. We're within half a dozen blocks of the oldest operating bookstore in the world, the Metro, even a railway station. This place is great. The in-suite toilet is a little cramped, but it's no worse than on an airliner. We are both happy campers. There's no elevator, and seventy-four steps is a workout, but I'm getting trimmer, and we walk everywhere anyway. If this apartment were in our price range, we'd seriously think about buying it to live in. Seriously. This place is great. Oh, and street entertainment and restaurants are EVERYWHERE. Wifi works perfectly.

Location is perfect. Luis was so friendly and helpful. I saw some bad comments regarding shower and wifi but it’s updated! I had hot shower and WiFi worked fine in the room too. I would definitely recommend and will come back again!

Bruno and Sandra at the front desk were totally fantastic and helpful! The place was a bit rundown and the neighborhood was central but not so charming. We didn't know we'd have a very long walk up to the 4th floor (which felt like the 8th). Best coffee ever!
