Lisbon has perhaps the best value accommodation of any European city, from a stylish hostel where you can stay in comfort from just \u20ac12 a night to design hotels with roof-top views. (Read more<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Scroll down for details.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Acomm_3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below, we are only listing some accommodation options in the vicinity of the conference venue<\/a><\/strong>. Lisbon offers literally hundreds of options: from big international chain hotels<\/strong>, to more local boutique \/ design hotels<\/strong>, to family businesses<\/strong>, to hostels<\/strong>. Also, there are many holiday apartments for short-term rent<\/strong> which might be convenient for families, groups of friends, or those who plan to stay longer.<\/p>\n

As for the location – if you don’t want to stay close to the university but rather head down-town<\/strong> – make sure you’re not too far from any metro line or public bus 726 (this includes almost anywhere in the down-town Lisbon, which is quite charming).<\/p>\n

Recommended locations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– the Marques de Pombal Square<\/a> (which actually is a circle): mid-way between the old town and the university, with direct metro connection \u2013 there are plenty of hotels there.<\/p>\n

– Saldanha<\/a><\/p>\n

– Avenida de Liberdade<\/a><\/p>\n

– Rossio<\/a><\/p>\n

– Chiado<\/a><\/p>\n

Two last tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Lisbon is quite hilly<\/strong>, so think three-dimensionally (what seems close might be a steep walk)<\/p>\n

– around the time of the conference there will be the celebrations of Portugal\u2019s patron saint, Santo Ant\u00f3nio<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 a popular carnival of sorts<\/a> \u2013 so please, at least, don\u2019t book ground-floor rooms in the old town, especially in the old Moorish quarters of Alfama<\/a> and Mouraria<\/a><\/p>\n

Hotels<\/span><\/strong> can be booked using your regular booking website (such as www.booking.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Prices<\/em>: from around \u20ac 30<\/strong> for a private room in a simple hotel (pens\u00e3o \/ residencial).<\/p>\n

A regular 3\/4\/5-star hotel will cost you from around \u20ac80-100<\/strong> p. double room \/ night. Please note that often prices for 4- or 5-star hotels are lower than 3-star<\/em> \u2013 that\u2019s because 3-star is the upper limit for any official public sector accommodation (incl. university guests). Yes, that\u2019s how austerity works in a context of bureaucracy mixed with clever hotel managers.<\/p>\n

Hostels<\/span><\/strong> can also be booked through www.booking.com<\/a> or a dedicated website such as http:\/\/www.hostelbookers.com\/<\/a> or http:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Prices<\/em>: from around \u20ac 10<\/strong> for a dormitory bed.<\/p>\n

Apartments<\/span><\/strong> can be booked through www.airbnb.com<\/a> or a dedicated website such as http:\/\/www.lisbonapartments.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Prices<\/em>: From around \u20ac 40<\/strong> for a studio \/ single bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n

Hotels near the University <\/strong>(we simply list them, because they are the nearest, they are not official conference hotels – given the vast range of options we decided not to have any):<\/p>\n
