“Privacy and a balcony at a good price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

It´s like staying at your peculiar great uncle´s place -- the over-make-upped housekeeper adorned with bright costume jewelry, the slip of paper over the hallway telephone with portuguese phonetic pronunciation for English numbers (uon, tu, thri...), the mismatched antique furniture crammed into the room. It´s not the most gorgeous place I´ve stayed, but for the price -- and our room even had a juliet balcony -- it was nice to have our own space and not be subjected to 20-somethings fresh off their study abroad programs.
The numerous flights of stairs may dissuade you, but if you´re at all overweight, this´ll be a chance to burn extra calories, just rest on the landings. And if you´re not, well who can deny the attractiveness of toned calves.

Room Tip: Ask for one with a balcony

“Your best chance of getting good location in short notice in Lisboa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

We first spent a few nights at Pensao Royal just one floor down from Galicia. We had not booked in advance our last night in Portugal, and Royal was full. Royal's people suggested that we ask Galicia for a room, and they had many available even though it was mid-July and we we're asking for a room only some 5-7 days in advance.

The elderly people at Galicia do not speak very good english (the old gentleman basically not at all), but things worked our, and we (2 persons) stayed 1 night in a lovely but a bit strange room (shower in the corner of the room) for only 40 euros.
