What is the cheapest hotel in Lisboa?,
if I dont have reservation, I could find a hotel on april 24?. I go to the International Congress of Matematics Physics, and I think a lot of people is going.

Thanks in advance for any help.

the cheapest hotels in lisboa are little hard to book in advance.
they are mostly run by pakistani immigrants and do not have web pages or belong to internatonal booking sites.

another cheap option could be youth hostels.
they often have private rooms too and are mostly very well organised.

I am a mexican student, I have a very short budget, do you know how many euros a room in a pakistani hotel costs, around?

pb

it will cost you around 20 euros pr night.

I am very thankful. Let me ask just one more think, do you know how much a train tiket to Madriod costs?

pb

not totally sure, but i think around 50-60 euros.

I hope this helps...

For accomodation a nice option could one of the two youth hostels. You can book on-line or through IBN at one Youth Hostel near you anywhere in the world.

Prices from 12,5Euros.

For information on Lisboa's Youth Hostels go to

I think the first one would be a better choice as it is in the city center and near IST and i believe "Congress of Matematics Physics" may be in IST - Instituto Superior Técnico (http://www.ist.pt).

If you can get a room in one of these youth hostels you can always try one pension like Claus adviced you.

I think "Pensão Coimbra e Madrid" can be a nice choice from (around) 20Euros per night.

"Residencial Saldanha" seems also nice.

It's possible to book online. Single bedrooms from 35Euros.

You can go to

I just realized there is a mistake in my previous post.

IST - Instituto Superior Técnico website is

For the english version go to:

I don't know if you already know this but today I was in IST and found this information...
