If you can handle a lot of stairs, and bare-bones furnishings, then the cheapo Pensao Imperial is a good choice. A bougainvillea-lined terrace and fantastic views—not to mention bargain prices—make up for any inconveniences.
Located on the top two floors of a six-story walk-up, the Pensão Imperial overlooks Praça Dom Pedro IV. Not only is this scenic, but it's convenient too. Baixa, the Bairro Alto, and even Saldanha are in easy walking distance.
The 16 rooms are tidy, though not sparkling; cheerful, though spare. Furniture is a grab bag, and there's no air-conditioning, but you're actually looking down on the square!
Rooms are priced according to size, view, and bathroom accoutrements. Some have only a bidet and sink, while others include a shower or even a toilet. English is sometimes spoken here. Prepare to be patient, and you'll be rewarded with sincere smiles.

About the Pensao Imperial 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.
