Amazing location on one of the main streets!

Perfect location, you can walk to everything. we got an text message from them with the codes for the main door and our room door plus if yuo had any questions there is a receptionist there as well. kitchen with everything you need if you want to make your own food and several bathrooms which are clean and have shampoo and towels that you are free to use. if you dont have any problem with the walls are a little bit thin and sharing bathrooms with other guests as well then this is the perfect place to stay in lisbon

A estadia nĂŁo aconteceu, porque o aspecto do local em questĂŁo nĂŁo correspondia em nada ao que vi quando fiz a reserva . Pelo que tive que procurar uma alternativa sendo que ainda por cima ia acompanhada pelo meu filho. Gostaria de saber se existe alguma forma de ser reaver o valor pago por esta estadia da qual nĂŁo usufrui nada. Obrigada

MalgrĂ© l’apprĂ©hension d’arriver Ă  l’hostel aprĂšs avoir lu les diffĂ©rents commentaires, nous avons Ă©tĂ© surprises par la propretĂ© et la convivialitĂ© du lieu. En effet, nous avons Ă©tĂ© bien accueillies par les hĂŽtes qui ont Ă©tĂ© aux petits soins tout au long du sĂ©jour. Du Ă  l’emplacement idĂ©alement situĂ© de l’hostel dans une des rues principales de la ville, quelques bruits sont Ă  prendre en compte sans que cela ne soit dĂ©sagrĂ©able pour autant. Enfin, l’auberge offre toutes les commoditĂ©s afin de se sentir comme chez soit. Nous recommandons vivement cette auberge.

Brilliant base for exploring Lisbon

Everything about this hostel is pretty standard, and you get everything you would expect. Its clean, the rooms are a little cramped but generally comfortable, and there is room for private storage. The greatest thing about this place, though, is its location. Located smack bang in the centre of the Rua Augusta, in downtown district of Baixa, it is the perfect place to explore Baixa, Alfama and the Barrio Alto, which are all within easy walking distance. Its also only a five minute walk to Cais do Sodre station where you can get to Belem or Cascais/Estrodil quickly and cheaply. Simply an excellent location to base yourself for a Lisbon excursion. Plus its very, very affordable.

“Good location, average/ very poor hotel.”

I stayed here in April 2014. It's a 02 minute walking to Praça da Figueira and Rossio, close to the bus station, so the location is really great. The room and bathroom was incredibly small, even for a European hotel. The free WiFi was not working at any point in the room nor the kitchen, only at reception ( that is not exactly a reception). Free breakfast is not so good, they are not polite as they inform only one tost and one cofe or tea each guest. The rooms does not have keys nor lockers to leave your luggages. Front desk staff were not friendly, they donŽt know how to explain the places where you want to visit, donŽt have any suggesting of sights to see and how to get to them. The rooms are very noisy as the main street is Av. Augusta, so, late at night you can hear people talking and laughing while sleeping. I don't think I would stay at this hotel again, but it was alright for the price we paid

Hintaan nÀhden ihan 10+ arvoinen pieni ja siisti hostelli. MeillÀ oli 2hlö huone, nÀin tammikuussa hieman viileÀ sisÀllÀ mutta meille myös tarjottiin lisÀlÀmmitintÀ. Saimme myös extrapeiton pyynnöstÀ. KÀytössÀ siisti yhteiskeittiö, aamupala kuuluu hintaan (kahvi, tee, mehu, toast). Oikein mukava ja avulias henkilökunta. HÀvitin kalliin kelloni sekÀ kaveri laturin ja molemmat löytyivÀt vastaanotosta. Ainut miinus (joka ei sekÀÀn suuri) oli huono ÀÀnieristys (kÀytÀvÀn/kadun ÀÀnet kuuluivat huoneeseen) mutta sekin ongelma ratkaistiin korvatulpilla. Hostellin sijainti aivan loistava, ratikka/bussipysÀkeille muutaman minuutin matka sekÀ metro Baixa-Chiado 5min pÀÀssÀ (lentokentÀltÀ about puolituntia). Kaikki shoppailupaikatkin ihan lÀhellÀ. Ei voi kun suositella!

La situaciĂłn es inmejorable, en el centro de la Baixa de Lisboa. Pero lo primero que sorprende es que hay que acceder a travĂ©s de una tienda de souvenir. Hay dos baños compartidos y una cocina donde dan un desayuno aceptable y cada uno puede hacerse su comida si quiere. La terraza es un patio de luces bastante pequeño y feo. Las habitaciones no estĂĄn insonorizadas como se anuncia, de hecho, dormir una siesta es complicado si no tienes tapones para los oĂ­dos. No hay aparcamiento en el hostel y lo mĂĄs cercano son los parking de pago en la Plaza de Figueira y Restauradores. O bien, buscar algĂșn otro sitio de aparcamiento de pago. Yo no vi ninguna zona de ordenadores aunque sĂ­ hay wifi gratis. No habĂ­a calefacciĂłn en la habitaciĂłn pero nos pusieron un radiador elĂ©ctrico.
