The Duas uas Nações Residence, a popular hotel with 57 rooms, sits at the corner of Rua August and Rua da Victoria in the heart of Baixa. During our last visit, our affection for the place was reconfirmed: It still sports no-nonsense rooms at low prices in a super convenient location for coming and going just about anywhere.
Rooms are simple and low budget, sporting green and yellow color schemes, thin carpets, and furniture that's been bumped and scuffed once or twice. Cable television and telephones come in all rooms, and most private baths are equipped with bathtubs. However, that about exhausts the list of amenities.
Rooms do not have air-conditioning or soundproofing, meaning that hot summer nights, with windows open will acquaint you with the happenings in the center of Baixa. (Earplugs to the rescue!)
A sun-drenched second-floor breakfast room next to a small TV lounge overlooks Rua Augusta and is impressively expansive. (We loved the gothic chandeliers.)
Note: Room 403 on the top floor has a balcony with a nice view. Ask ahead.
