Pensao Residencial Camoes

The Pensão Residencial Camões is a modest two-floor pension located on the restaurant-lined Travessa do Poco da Cidade in the heart of the Bairro Alto. It’s a family-run place, with 13 simple and cheap rooms. As the area gets jamming every night, it’s best suited for young travelers.

Rooms are sunny and plain—offering simple wooden beds decked out in cheery yellow or green comforters, curtains and walls. Rooms do not have TVs (there's a TV lounge), but they do have telephones. Eight rooms offer balconies perched over the Travessa and the Caldo Verde fado restaurant downstairs. Note that rooms are not air conditioned (although they do have fans), so when windows are open in the summer, you might be dancing in your bed. (We recommend earplugs.)

Half of the rooms are equipped with simple private bathrooms, while the other rooms share communal baths. Rooms that share a bath are each equipped with a sink and bidet.

A continental breakfast is included in the room rate. Wi-Fi is available throughout the pension for a fee (€5 for the entire stay).

Note: The Pensao Residencial Camoes accepts cash only.
