Lafonense Pension

location is great. Of course when you are in the middle of the city there will be noise which did not bother me.

We stayed four nights at this hostel. We were lucky to have a shower and a basin in our room. We only had to share the toilette. The location was really good - in the center of Lisbon. But at night it gets louder because of the many Restaurants directly in front of the hostel. The next metro station was only two minutes away. Unfortunately there is no elevator. The owner lives also at the hostel and uses the same bathroom/Toilette.

great stay!!!

When we arrived, the hostel was closed and there was no one in sight. After roaming around town with our luggage, we had the help of an elderly man who told us that the hostel is not open and is under construction. He called and was able to have someone from the hostel meet us and guide us to other accomodation near by. It was a bit disappointing but at least we had somewhere to stay.

Owners were very kind and spoke English. Clean very bright room. My balcony was right over street with lots of restaraunts so I loved listening to the accordians and street performances!! Very safe, centre of city, min walk to rossio sq.,

Definitely not RECOMMENDET. There is NO KITCHEN. Hot water is VERY LIMITED.

It is a very nice place, in the city centre it is very well located, it is clean and nice. The only thing is that it is quiet, if you want to party it is not the place where you should go, because it is small, is only has 5 or 6 rooms and no common area.

It is a very old place which is actually nice, but the walls are very thin so that you always hear your neighbours which is horrible when you have snorring neighbours all the time, skyping at night or whatever...

It's a very cheap place, well located in the city, good if you just want a bed. However, it's noisy and one room doesn't have windows. The staff is nice.

Lafonense Pension is a nice hostel very well-placed in Lisbon. The staff is friendly, the room and bathroom was clean. It was quite noisy at some times but we were looking for a cheap and nice place to stay for two nights, and this hostel was a good choice.

The hostel is an old apartment right in the hearth of Lisbon. It is clean and the staff is really nice. It is a good place if what you need is a place to sleep, but there is any fun or posibility of interactions among travelers. Very cheap though.

very central, very good position, one bathroom for more rooms

room was not so bad but bathroom in terrible state...

It's really ok if you think on where you are ( in the very city-center! ) and how much does it cost!! About the rooms, it depends on what you get: with shower but without window, with window but noisy and without shower, anyway to just sleep there it is perfect! And the owner...well, she is really so nice! to be suggested if you're looking for something cheap just to sleep, not if you are looking for a real big hostel with many rooms, visitors, breakfast and other facilities. Situated in an old flat, but a little bit re-newed ( anyway clear! ).

Super location, just in the center, on the only-pedestrian street full of cafes. yest it's quite loud during night, but you can feel the spirit of the city! small but clean rooms, lovely owner. Recomend if lookin' for sth. cheep but nice, and not expect Hilton's standard :)

Very average and bare bone Hostel...just a room..no TV..no wifi..old towels and furniture..shared bathroom..the lady was asking I believe 1 euro/hr for wifi usage...place is very old and shady...if you just need a place to sleep, go for it..otherwise, shop around, you should find much better deals...the location though is right at the heart of Lisbon, near Rossio Square...we stayed for 2 nights & our room was not cleaned & on the 2nd day, we came back after last shopping only to find out that our room was opened without our knowledge...the lady told us she wanted to show it to some tourists since we'll be checking out soon...we found that very unpleasant & an invasion of our privacy..how could you possibly open someone's room without asking for permission first?

You are NICE people!

old building but great place to stay

The hostel is REALLY nice!

A familiar atmosphere and the host is very sweet - and helpfull.

We liked the feeling( and the small balcony) of the street,nice listening to the different sounds of Lissabon. Até a vista

VERY good pension, near metro station, restaurants, shops...little kitchen and the pension is clean !

Very friendly staff and the location in lisboa couldn't be much better. Perfect guest house for any budget traveller staying in lisboa for a couple of days.

Lafonense is located in very busy pedestrianised street, ie. noise and laughter until last customers leave cafés, restaurants. Fine if you are night owl and like eating,drinking amenities close-by.

Should I ever visit Lisbon again, this is the first place I'll try to book. The stuff and location couldn't be any better. Public transport (train, metro and buses that would take you anywhere) just 2 minutes away. As for the fun factor, one should not expect partying, the rule is silent hours after 22:00 (though the street below is very lively until after midnight even during the week), yet very nice having a bottle of wine on the small balcony, low-key voicing, which is all I wanted anyway. Overall a very nice place to stay, nothing fancy but cozy, clean and welcoming.

one minor: thin walls

I stayed at the pensao lafonense for a week with my 6-years old boy. We had a nice room facing the street, wich was not too noisy (feb). The staff Geny and Joannis is very likable and helpfull. The Pensao is situated in an old apartment with a few rooms (5-6) and it is close to everything in the center. Perfectly situated! Thanks from Eva.

I was lucky although I arrived alone the owners mades me feel like home.

Strongly recommend it to everuone who wants to have the perfect location for sightseeing of Lisbon and surroundings. Close to main transport stations. Hosts are really very nice and helpfull. Very clean, cosy and romantic place to stay at. Definitely come back again!

very sympathic and cheap hotel and near of the center of the city.

The Pensao is really in the hearth of Lisboa. Everything was perfect! Thanx a lot...

This was a lovely place to stay, new, clean, and a great location. Highly recommended.

very old building with many steps,clean small room,very cheap,friendly staff,no breakfast available,we would stay again here

We spent 3 nights at Lafonense Pension. The staff was very friendly, the room was clean and very quiet. The location was ideal as it was close to main stations. We've had a wonderful time in Lisbon and we hightly recommend this pension!!!

Great location in Lisbon, and very cheap. Staff very helpfull. Toilet is ok.

Nice small rooms, everything clean, very friendly staff, lies in the centre next to metro and bus-stations, not far to bars, discos etc.,

The building is a bit old, but the situation is excellent and the staff is very nice.

The "Gerente" Ayaz Juma is nice and really kind to provide infos about places to visit in Lisbon

very friendly, best position (calm and very central) for young people with small wallets the best!!!

The pension had a great location, right downtown centered around the three main plazas of Lisboa. The rooms were simple and the bathrooms clean. However, the rooms were dark, and felt like upkeeping would be of help. The owner of the pension was helpful, spoke english, portguese, french, and german. He gave us a map and explained the situation of Lisboa as well as was useful in answering any of our questions.
