Magnólia Hostel
( 222 014 150;

;
Av Rodrigues de Freitas 387; dm €17-19, d €44-48; )
You'll
find an excellent ambience at this attractive, well-maintained hostel with a range of rooms
spread over three floors of a converted town house. There's a lounge with a spooky, out-
of-tune piano, and a leafy outdoor space that sometimes hosts concerts. Breakfast is in-
cluded, as are free walking tours.
Residencial Santo André
( 222 000 115; Rua Santo Ildefonso 112; s/d €20/35; )
A charming four-floor walk-up with spir-
alled staircase and 10 oddly curvaceous rooms, some with bathrooms. They're all spic and
span, but it's the smaller rooms that catch the most light. Set on a quiet street, it's a splen-
did cheapie.

;
Rua dos Caldeireiros 261; dm €20-22, d €50-60; )
Lovely
little hostel with a good central (but tucked-away) location, with clean and cosy dorms
featuring big windows and balconies. The private doubles, decorated by local artists, each
have a theme. There's also a tiny patio, free breakfast included and dinners nightly. Vari-
ous tours are on offer, from fado to port wine.

( 220 407 000;

; Praça da Batalha 32-34; d €49; )
Set in a restored art-deco
building (and former cinema), this place offers a dash of style at low prices. Rooms are
trim and modern, and there's a grassy if rather minimalist courtyard out the back. Good
location on Praça da Batalha. Breakfast and parking cost extra.
