Clean, fresh, colorful hotel within an easy walk of the bus station (~10 minutes) Plaza Nueva (~10 minutes) and Alcazar Cathedral (~15 minutes). We booked on hotels.com. There's great food nearby, good shopping, the river is an easy bike ride.
We arrive at 5am from Lisbon via bus. Check in is noon, but Reception had us in the first available room at 10am - very much appreciated.
Our room was tiny but with maximum amenities for the limited space. With four, we had a roomy (king?) bed and bunk beds. Bureau, mini bar, safe, luggage rack, two large door/windows, air-conditioning, comfortable linens, but not a lot of room to walk around. The bathroom was bright with a large, hot, strong shower.
Wifi is complimentary throughout the hotel. Reception has four bikes that you can take for the day - free (!).
The airport is a ~30 minute taxi ride, I think it cost us +/- 25 euros. read more
