Basic, but without fault. Clean, simple and comfortable rooms. Friendly owners and staff. Neighbourhood isn't unsafe - unless you are generally scared of people, because it is a busy square. As a woman travelling alone, this place felt completely safe, even late at night, and room was quiet even though facing the street. A simple but nice hotel that does... More

The owners are definitely the sweetest people in Lisboa - BUT.... the neighbourhood is scary. Offensive drugdealers, countless beggers, aggressive homeless people and awful noise all night long. The first night there was a huge fight which ended with guys breaking windows, next night ongoing police sirens, third night another fight and so on and so on - and every... More

We stayed here for one night at the end of the Optimus Alive Fesitival in Alges. We chose it as it was central Lisbon, so not far to walk from the Cais de Soldre train station. The room was clean and light and traditionally decorated. The hotel is not plush and nor does it advertise to be, but the location... More

The hotel is an excellent value with clean rooms, great location, and a most friendly staff and owners.

This place is very well located for Lisbon, but that's about it. Don't worry about the reviews about "unsavory characters" They are just the local population and won't cause any problems. However, the issue is that to get in you have to be "buzzed" in by the 24 hr on duty person. Rooms are on multiple floors and you have... More

No big faults with this place, located right in the center of the city. However, irritations include: 1. The hotel is in a particularly sketchy area, frequented by prostitutes, drunks, the homeless, and drug dealers. Having said that, you are unlikely to be troubled by these people, and some of you might like the edgyness. 2. If you are an... More

Unbeatably good value: scrupulously clean, well kept, comfortable, and secure pensao in a brilliant location. Family who run it are unobtrusively helpful. There are no frills, as previous reviewers have said, but it means that you don't end up paying for things you don't want. It just does the basic thing brilliantly.

We came to this pension after we left a youth hostel which we didn't like at all. This place is very conveniently and central located. It is very clean and the staff is friendly, although they didn't speak much English and no German. They don't serve breakfast, but there are cafes nearby, so that is no problem.

My brother, sister and I stayed at the Pensao Residencial Geres for 4 nights in early November. The hotel's location is very good. At the intersection of the eating lane and the shopping area. It is within walking distance to everything. I read some comments about the unsavory neighborhood of the hotel. Not so. Lisbon's African population does get together... More
