Had always heard that Belem was the place to stay when you go to lisbon and the stories were true - couldn't have asked for a better location - close to the river/trains/trams/buses and all the sights that lisbon has to offer - and right at your doorstep are some fabulous eateries with melt in the mouth local delicacies especially the seafood and the pork dishes - the price was 50 Euros per night which gives you a double bed in a very quiet location, a nice hot shower, breakfast but nil a/c - but hey it doesn't get that hot in lisbon anyway - you could do worse.
