Usually more apt to gush about family-run or independently minded hotels, we thought the Dom Carlos Park provided a well-deserved exception to the boring chain hotel rule.
We were very happy here. We slept well, we ate well, and we were treated very well. The staff gave solid directions, good recommendations, and hailed us many a cab. The location is super convenient—just around the corner from the buzzing Marquês de Pombal where Avenida da Liberdade empties into the new city. And the metro is around the corner. (Sure, you could walk to Baixa in about 15 minutes. But if you're wearing heels, you'll appreciate this train stop—we promise.)
The 76 rooms, two of which our team occupied, were spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable, the water pressure admirable, and we loved the row of cabinetry and shelving by the window, which offered lots of space to unload all our brochures, business cards, camera gear, and clothes. We drained the mini-bar (a real Cheapo no-no) and took full advantage of the complementary fruit basket.
Get a room facing the front. The leafy green trees from the miniature park in front make you feel like you're surrounded by greenery, sleeping far away from the hubub.
The only thing we could wish upon the Dom Carlos is a second Internet station (with cheaper rates) and an elevator with doors that close. (We just get creeped out seeing the walls of the shaft slide by.)
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Dom Carlos Park neighborhood
Located at the top of Avenida da Liberdade, the Praça Marquês de Pombal is one of the city's major traffic thoroughfares. As you move further northeast toward Praça do Duque de Saldanha, it is still possible to see traces of 19th-century architecture, but this area is mostly characterized by late 20th-century, concrete creations: multi-storied hotels, office buildings, and shopping malls. This neighborhood offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of most Lisbon residents. Close by are the Museu Calouste Gulbekian and the leafy Parque Eduardo VII. The former maintains an awe-inspiringly broad collection, while the latter is a staid public park with some great views. Marquês de Pombal & Saldanha are a 15 to 20 minute walk to the top of Baixa and a short subway ride from the center of old Lisbon.
