NileGuide Expert tip:
The excellent Balcão do Marquês café-restaurant is below the guesthouse.
Description:
A thorough makeover has placed this budget hotel firmly back on Lisbon's value-for-money map. The once drab and tired Vila Nova is now glowing in refurbishment. The bright and cheerful interior is splashed with colour and equipped with much needed mod cons. The 12 rooms look modern and stylish and are replete with LCD cable TV, telephone, individual safe and that all-important 21st-century must-have – Wi-Fi access. All have private bathroom facilities. Unfortunately the revamp didn't include a breakfast room and guests still have to cater for themselves. The good news is the guesthouse is located above an excellent café-restaurant. A young and enthusiastic workforce runs the hotel, and the youthful vibe is tangible. The only down side, perhaps, is the potential for street noise from the busy Avenida Duque de Loulé – the price of a central location. That said, the Marquês de Pombal Metro station is a five-minute walk, with buses and taxis literally on the doorstep.
