A few steps from its namesake at number 12, Guest House C&O Alcântara Lisboa is at number 20 on the same street, Rua José Dias Coelho. It offers city views and wifi, and works as a base if you plan to explore Alcântara, Belém and the riverside.
Location and getting around
From Alcântara, the Jerónimos Monastery is 2.7 km to the west. Towards the centre it is 3.6 km to Praça do Comércio and 3.4 km to Rossio. The practical options are the tram, the train or a taxi. The airport is 8.5 km away and Cacilhas, across the Tagus, 3.2 km.
Rooms and facilities
What is listed is short: city views and free wifi throughout the building. There is no information about the bathroom, room equipment or breakfast, so it is best to ask beforehand. A kitchen, air conditioning and common areas are not listed either. It is, therefore, a place to sleep and head out: you will spend the day away, among the riverside districts.
Who it suits
- Guests who prefer to sleep in Alcântara rather than in the Baixa.
- Those interested in the Alcântara riverside and the docks.
- Travellers with light luggage who only need a bed and a connection.
Good to know
You need to tell them your arrival time, which can be from 14:00 to 21:00. Check-out is from 07:00 to 11:00. Take care with the name: there is another C&O guesthouse at number 12, so check the address on your booking. You can see alternatives in guesthouses.
