Lisbon - 'cheap & cheerful' accommodation?

Anyone know Lisbon? I've never been before.

If the weather gods are good, I'll arrive in Lisbon around 9 am March 5th. I'm picking up a cruise on the 6th. I'm open to recommendations for cheap and cheerful accommodations for one night. Something simple to reach so I can have a nap (I'll have had 14 hours in the air and at least four hours in airports), do a bit of a wander around and find a place for dinner. I'm on my own, unless someone else happens to be in town then, so I don't need romantic or involved.

Thanks,

Allan

A few years ago I fell hard for Solar do Castelo, an art-filled retreat in the Alfama, right by the fortress. Today, looking at the website, I have to think that they've gussied it up a lot in the past two years. Still, it's well worth looking into. Beautiful building, smart interior design and splendid location.

Great, thanks Sam. Going to a city you don't is almost like being a real tourist...
