LX Boutique Hotel is a charming little boutique property housed in a turn of the 20th-century building that's been lovingly restored and revamped as a contemporary boutique hotel. The 61 rooms here have pastel color palettes and sleek bathrooms, and many have city views. That said, a marked lack of storage space may put some guests off and rooms on lower floors get some street noise, particularly from area nightlife. The restaurant serves a curious mix of tapas and sushi, and the hotel sources pastries from a popular local bakery for their breakfast service. Occasional wine tastings and Fado concerts are a fun touch. Hotel NH Collection Lisboa Liberdade may be a better option -- while it lacks a gym, it does have a swimming pool.

With 300 rooms, the Altis Grand Hotel is the largest property in the Altis chain. Elegant rooms are a decent size with plush bedding, marble bathrooms, and TVs embedded in the mirrors. A major renovation was completed in 2011, and rooms feel fresh and contemporary. The hotel's long list of amenities includes a restaurant on the 12th floor with great city views, a cozy lobby bar, and a coffee shop. The Altis also has a health club with an indoor pool, fitness center, and several treatment rooms. While this property has a reputation as a business hotel, it also attracts tourists with its convenient location near numerous attractions. A spacious marble lobby features large art installations and plenty of space to sit. However, some guests have complained that the breakfast buffet is a little disappointing, and there's a pesky fee for Wi-Fi in some rooms.

The Home Lisbon Hostel has 24 rooms that live up to the hostel's name. Conveniently located in the popular Baixa-Chiado district, the two-pearl hostel is less than a 10-minute walk to Praca do Comercio and Alfama, major tourist destinations in town. Bright dormitory-style rooms are furnished with well-sized bunkbeds, and clean communal bathrooms are spacious, if far from some rooms. Dinners cooked and served nightly by the owner's mother are renowned and add to the hostel's familial vibe. An on-site bar/lounge, outdoor patio, and living room also provide a homey atmosphere. Nearby hostels like Lisbon Destination Hostel inside Rossio Station offer more modern and private rooms at similar prices, but there's a lot more charm at Home Lisbon.

The Lisboa Central Hostel has a convenient location near public transportation, dining, and shopping along posh Avenida da Liberdade. The two-pearl property is geared toward backpackers and a younger crowd who don't mind sharing dorms and bathrooms. However, its private rooms are nice enough for anyone on a budget. The hostel has seven units with bright and stylish decor, but they all lack AC. Guests get a lot for what they pay for here, with a plentiful lineup of features. Freebies include breakfast and rotating daily extras -- with everything from milkshakes to Portuguese soup on offer -- plus group activities, guided tours, and Wi-Fi throughout. Travelers looking to be closer to the nightlife in Bairro Alto should check out the Lookout Lisbon Hostel.
