The staff here we're incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. We had a really great stay, great breakfast, comfortable clean rooms and a safe feeling with easy check in/check out and ability to store our bags before/after check in/out times which was so helpful. It is a busy, noisy neighborhood into the evening but absolutely perfect for easy walking and metro access in Lisbon.

Such a lovely staff! The location is great. We were there during a heatwave on the third floor. It was a bit loud with the windows open (but such a lovely ambiance). It was too hot to have the windows closed.

Fabulous! Location was bang on, walked out at night right into the hottest spot in town. The team are Irish/American and all so friendly. The breakfast was next level, really big portions and great variety made to order. Free coffee machine all day and shared kitchen space. Only downside was not enough furniture/storage space in the room but amazing value. Highly recommend

The room and bathroom were clean. The staff were friendly but not professional. I asked about the area and restaurants, but they couldn’t answer anything. This hostel is on the street where there are restaurants and bars, so it’s so noisy until late night.

Great breakfast & Location!

I arrived in the dark and it was a little hard to find because there is no obvious signage. I had to ask for help at a local restaurant. Also - Ubers cannot access the streets around the hostel so you might have to walk and it’s challenging with cobbled streets and luggage. The location is great and breakfast is fantastic. I had a private room but it was hard to relax or sleep in because the cleaning staff were VERY loud. The other guests were older and kept to themselves. Overall good value.

Dirty, cold and noisy

This place is dirty and run by backpackers to keep cost low. I paid for heating (was there in january and temp was celsius 6 degrees at night and 16 in the day) got my heater after 1 day and it worked for 1 hour at a time so not much sleeping since I woke up because of cold and had to reset it.. breakfast was a joke and didnt get served on new years day probably because someone drank too much. Crap place in an fado restaurant neighbourhood so if youre looking for a really cheap, dirty, noisy place. Bingo!

除了地點其他都差強人意

旅館位在上城區裡，地理位置極佳，著名景點都可以步行到達，非常方便。但是這裡街道到處都是酒吧，晚上噪音特別大，上坡下坡也非常不方便拖著大件行李來投宿，旅人需要做好氣喘吁吁的心理準備。不適合拖著行李步行，即使鄰近地鐵站，但是人行道坡度落差非常大，且全是石頭鋪成的不平整路面。 旅館是一棟非常老舊的建築，沒有電梯、樓梯和房間木頭地板走路都會發出聲響，整棟建築沒有空調，但所幸八月的里斯本入夜之後非常涼爽。旅館提供的早餐是工作人員幫你準備好的，但是咖啡機24小時免費提供旅客使用，也有共用廚房和冰箱開放住客使用。接待櫃檯的時間不是固定的，入住前或者寄放行李要特別確認櫃檯時間，以免撲空。

O local é bem limpo, o banheiro estava muito limpo, a cama estava perfeita, confortável. O café da manhã estava impecável, diverso e gostoso. Apenas o quarto é quente pois a janela abre pouco e o ventilador de teto é eficiente mas como a janela não abre direito fica abafado. O check in foi muito fácil e a noite na região é bem animada, tem barulho mas é uma região central, vale a pena a estadia, voltaria.

No hemos podido descansar absolutamente nada. Por la tarde, todo el mundo haciendo ruido y dando voces en los pasillos y en el comedor, y por la noche ha sido completamente imposible dormir con el ruido de todos los bares y garitos de fiesta de la calle a la que daba nuestra habitación. No entiendo cómo es posible que tengáis esta habitación en uso sabiendo el ruido que hay. Me parece una vergüenza. Es absolutamente IMPOSIBLE DESCANSAR. Desde luego, ha sido el peor alojamiento en el que hemos estado jamás y no lo recomendamos para nada. Por otra parte, instalaciones viejas, suelo y puertas ruidosas... Tuvimos que pagar otro hotel tras la primera noche para poder descansar. Todo mal. No merece nada la pena alojarse en esas condiciones. Por el mismo precio, tienes alojamientos mucho mejores a 15 minutos caminando.

Charmigt prisvärt hostel på perfekt läge!

Vi hade två stycken double superior med delat badrum. Superfräscha rum och toa samt badrum. Charmigt gammal stil med moderna möbler. En öde liten gata på dagen men otroligt nöjesliv på kvällen. God vegetarisk frukost. Nära till Metro och spårvagn. Rekommenderas!

Central stay in Lisbon

Solo room with shared bathroom. I stayed in two different rooms as I cut my stay in two. One was bigger that the other one, but globally good and clean. Area a bit noisy at nigh because of being the night district, but on the 4th floor, noise is softer. Excellent breakfast. You have to be on time for the check in otherwise you wont be able to get your room. Excellent location close to everything.

Staff were great, and breakfast was pretty good too! Great location, but I'd only advise if you are fit and able. Lots of stairs and steep roads around. Room was great, bed good and clean. The shared bathroom was ok too. Some noise but nothing some ear plugs couldn't solve. Weather was mid 20s and did not have issues with it at night. Just keep the shutter closed during the day!

J'ai été agréablement surpris par cet hôtel. Bien que situé au coeur d'un quartier très animé les nuits l'hostel est calme. j'ai eu la chance d'avoir dans ma chambre des gens aussi très respectueux des autres et donc discrets. Espaces communs agréables, petit-déjeuner bon et copieux. Difficile de faire mieux !
