EuroCheapo review print this page

Tucked away on a narrow street to the west of Liberdade, the Residencia Nova Avenida is classic Cheapo. Rooms are simple and sweet, and the prices reflect it.

The Nova Avenida was once a building of family apartments, and today it still feels homey. We loved the ground floor entrance, with its blue and white tiled walls, plants, and marble staircase. The pension's 28 rooms, both with and without private bathrooms, mostly provide the basics: plain wood furniture, simple tiled floors, and no-frills baths.

However, touches of treasure are to be found in certain second-floor rooms, with higher ceilings, restored crown molding, and the occasional mid-century chandelier. On the third floor, décor gets more attention yet, with some lovely antique wooden dressers and wardrobes mixed in amongst the less historic pieces.

Rooms facing the street have full balconies, and those on the third floor offer great views of the city, often at the price of noise from the streets. Rooms on the back are quieter, overlooking a shared courtyard and garden.

The Residencia Nova Avenida is about five minutes west of Avenue de Liberdade. Rua Santo António da Glória, however, feels much further away from the action than it really is.

Note: In-hotel acoustics aren't great: thin walls mean you might hear your next door neighbors.

About the Residencia Nova Avenida neighborhood

Running between the Restauradores metro station just north of the Estação do Rossio and the Marquês de Pombal metro station, the Avenida da Liberdade is Lisbon's "Grand Boulevard." Lined with pricey shops, monstrous modern office buildings, and restaurants, it is a broad and impressive boulevard, quite grand in spots. Architecturally newer than Baixa (and older than Saldanha) the Avenida is a major artery. As a general rule, the farther you walk from the river along Avenida da Liberdade, the more modern it becomes. Nearby you'll find the lovely Botanical Gardens.
