We stayed at the Hotel Best Western Florida. It is located right on Marques de Pombal Square, and there is a bus station on the corner, in addition to a taxi stand and Metro station entrance. We felt this location was ideal for running all around the city. Marques de Pombal square is busy, but it was nice to see the city moving and it did quiet down at night. We were here on a pleasure trip, but we never had any problems sleeping.
We reserved a double room back in April, but when we arrived they asked us if we wanted 2 beds or 1. We said "one" and were surprised to get a room with a king size bed. The room itself was large, comfortable, clean, and air-conditioned, and had a window shade we could pull down to block the sun out. There is a restaurant in the hotel and we had continental breakfast every day which consisted of pastries (delicious) and fresh fruit, juice, and coffee. It was enough to get us up and going.
The hotel service was great - the staff were very friendly, and seemed pleased with our poor attempts at speaking Portuguese. They were able to recommend where to shop, and took care of our bags when we arrived before check in. They also secure the hotel after a certain hour but will promptly open the door for you when you arrive.
The price is fair, about 80 euros a night.
