After having traveled all across Spain and Portugal I can honestly say the lovely dutch ladies who run Casa Pombal were the most helpful wonderful patrons we encountered. They helped us make reservations at our next destination, gave us travel advice, and were very well informed on the local goings-on.
The location is perfect for a walking tour of the city, but be warned, it is a very steep hill on which the old city sits. Be prepared for a hike! And heed their advice and take a taxi from the train station, its just much simpler than trying to make it there with luggage.
The traditional dutch breakfast is wonderful, and a refreshing difference from the breakfast most places serve. There was even vegimite for my australian girlfriend....
We stayed in a double room, and it was quaint, clean, and perfectly suited to our needs.
Thanks so much ladies, hopefully I'll come by again some day!
