The Hotel LX Rossio (formerly Albergaria Residencial Insulana) provides well-preserved rooms with great rates in the very heart of the Baixa grid. If you're looking for a professionally-run operation with clean rooms, the LX Rossio is a safe bet.

The pension's 32 rooms mix sturdy wooden antique furnishings with '70s-retro pieces, while some updated rooms feature neutral tones and standard hotel furnishings. Rooms are well equipped for a pension, all with air conditioning, a flat-paneled TV and telephone. And they're quite clean: We encountered what seemed like an army of cleaners. Many of the bathrooms are outfiited with new tiling and fixtures for a fresh look.

The LX Rossio occupies three floors of a five-story building. Its location, at the corner of Rua da Assunção and Rua dos Correiros, puts it smack in the heart of café-lined and pedestrian-only Baixa. Rooms on the second and fourth floor offer balconies overlooking the streets—certainly a romantic plus. The pedestrian streets can get noisy at night, so light sleepers should ask for one of the 12 rooms that face the back.

Free Wi-Fi is available, and breakfast is available for an additional charge.

Location: Very central

0.7km to city center

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.
