Pensao Estacao Central

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Located on the second and third floor of a building directly across from Rossio train station and next to Rossio Square, the Pensão Estacao Central provides frill-free, cheap sleeping in the center of town. The 27-room pension is family-run, old-fashioned and bare-bones.

The Estacao's second-floor lounge and reception area is a stuffy, smoky affair, with leather sofas and plants. Bedrooms sport brighter colors, laminated floors, simple beds and not much else. There are no TVs, telephones or even air conditioners here. Mid-sized bathrooms are equipped with mini-tub/shower combos and bidets.

It's all about location and price at the Estacao. For €30, you can reserve a double with private facilities, next to Rossio Square. It's no charmer, but it's a deal.
