Looking for a Hotel in Lisbon
Will need a Hotel in Lisbon for March. We would like to stay in the City Centre within walking distance of good restaurants and shopping. We'll disembark our ship on a Sat. and will fly back to the States on Sun. a.m.
We'd like a nice Hotel, not a $400 a night,
somewhere between $100 to $150.
Thanking you in advance!

Ok, here we go, along with web addresses:
The most recommended hotel in Lisbon, although probably more expensive than $150:
http://www.hotel-avenida-palace.pt/location.htm:
The Lisboa Plaza and Britania belong to the Heritage Hotels, and are both nice hotels, not far from the Avenida Palace:
http://www.heritage.pt/en/
The Lisboa Regency Chiado is newer, it's a design hotel, and located in Chiado, lately a very fashionable, and bohemian location as well, where you'll find bars, restaurants, and some shops:
http://www.regency-hotels-resorts.co...do/index1.html
Another nice hotel is the Tivoli Jardim, close to Avenida da Liberdade:
http://www.srs-worldhotels.com/portu...el_lisjar.html
You'll find reviews on thse, as well as other hotels in Lisbon here:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g1...ra-Hotels.html
You'll be likely finding better rates for the Lisboa Regency, Lisboa Paza and Britania at:

Have a gret time in Lisbon!!

Surlok,
Thank you soooo much! I love Portugal...my favorite place in the world is Funchal! What a garden of Eden!
This will be my 4th time in 4 years to disembark a ship in Lisbon, but I've never had the time to "linger" overnight. We want to walk around a bit, maybe catch a Taxi to tour for a couple of hours, then have a nice, relaxing dinner. I just didn't think we needed to pay over $175, at the most, for a comfortable, good located Hotel. As a smaller Hotel, is really what we'd like, with an English speaking desk clerk, what would your 1st choice be?
I do appreciate all your wonderful suggestions! Thank you!

Hi, Martita,
The Regency Chiado would be my first choice, followed by the Britania. I also like smaller hotels, with a local character.
The Britania is not at Av. da Liberdade, but it's a block behind it. The Chiado is a very interesting district, that has been revitalized over the past 3 or 4 years.
Sorry, I cannot guarantee an English speaking desk clerk. My native language is Portuguese ( I am Brazilian). ;-).

Both my daughter and I have stayed at the Metropole on Rossio Square right in the heart of Lisbon. Rooms run about $100 and are large. Ours had a balcony overlooking the square (I don't recall any problems with noise, must be pretty well sound-proofed) and with a view on up to the lighted St. Georges castle. Nice public rooms for a drink and for breakfast. Pleasant service. Location can't be beat.
