About
City Center Guest House
City Center Guest House sits on the first floor of a historic building on Rua Augusta, one of Lisbon's busiest shopping streets. The location is the main draw – you're about 350 metres from Luís de Camões Square, a 5-minute drive from Rossio Square, and within easy walking distance of the Baixa/Chiado metro and the lively Bairro Alto nightlife (guests mention a 7-minute stroll).
The property keeps things straightforward: a range of double rooms, most with balconies, and shared bathrooms. There's a communal kitchen, a TV room, and a terrace with garden furniture. Staff consistently earn praise for being friendly and responsive, and the building is non-smoking with express check-in/out and luggage storage.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable location in the heart of Lisbon — The guesthouse sits on Rua Augusta, a central pedestrian street. Guests consistently mention how easy it is to reach the metro, attractions, and nightlife.
- Clean rooms and shared bathrooms — Despite sharing facilities, guests often describe bathrooms as spotless and rooms as comfortable and cosy.
- Friendly and helpful staff — Guests mention the team being pleasant, welcoming, and quick to resolve any issues.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in most rooms — Only a limited number of rooms have a private bathroom, so you'll likely share facilities with other guests.
- Street noise possible — Being on Rua Augusta means busy street activity, which some guests noted but found tolerable.
- No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Limited check-in and check-out windows — Check-in is between 13:00 and 23:59, and check-out is between 06:00 and 10:00. This may be restrictive for early arrivals or late departures.
