The Albergaria Residencial Insulana provides tourist-quality rooms with '70s décor in the very heart of the Baixa grid. If you're looking for location and don't care about dated design, the Insulana is a safe bet.
The Insulana occupies three floors of a five-story building. Its location, at the corner of Rua da Assunção and Rua dos Correiros, puts it smack in the heart of café-lined, shop-filled, pedestrian-only Baixa. Rooms on the second and fourth floor offer balconies overlooking the streets—certainly a romantic plus.
The 32 rooms at the Insulana, with their floral patterns and wood-and-brass furnishings, celebrate the style of the '70s without a trace of irony. They're equipped with the basic amenities, like air conditioning, satellite TV and telephones. Bathrooms, with their lime green tiles and dated fixtures, practically scream "retro."
The lack of sound proofed windows, however, could mean loud nights, as these streets are popular and drunks rarely keep their voices down.

About the Albergaria Residencial Insulana neighborhood
The grid-shaped Baixa neighborhood was completely rebuilt following Lisbon’s devastating 1755 earthquake. Today the area functions as the city's chief shopping area, offering everything from boutiques to tourist traps. Two large streets, rua Augusta and rua de Santa Justa, are pedestrian-only thoroughfares. Baixa is an easy jumping-off point for seeing the rest of the city. Praça Rossio, sitting at the top of Baixa, is the city's most active square. At the base of Baixa is the Praça do Comércio, a square of wide arcades adjacent to the river.
