This was one of the worst places in Lisbon. We came with one child and we specifically asked for AC however the AC did not work and we could not open the window because the street was noisey the room was 35°.Then they made an excuse to tell us the electrician was asked but couldn't come then finally the only money they could give us 8€.

Lille, France8 contributions
WC smell in the common man bathroom. Reception staff who exclusively reserves the elevator without giving any answer: walking up and down from the 4th floor! Only 2 refrigerators, including a small one for more than 20 people. In this neighborhood, at every street corner, you are offered cocaine. Advice: Read the many opinions, all negative, above all avoid this address and go elsewhere.

Other than the air conditioner not working in the room where I was staying at the time, everything else was good… the staff were friendly, there was a beautiful mural painted on the walls beside every bed, and the location was pretty much in the heart of the city and near many main attractions.

Great hostel near Rossio Plaza nightlife and Metro, and Bairro Alto elevator. Clean (enough) and comfortable. Hopping bar on property, but it's in adjacent row house, so noise is not a problem when you're ready for bed. Cool wall art in dorm room. Only one of three men's showers on my floor was in service; they need to be fixed. And hours indicated showers only allowed in morning, from 0700; no night showers?

Very helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is in a great location in the city center near the main squares. Also very close to the metro station. The lodge bar has a good atmosphere and serves a generous buffet breakfast.

Avoid this hostel to save your entire trip. Its very dirty and smelly. Water leakage from the ceiling. Poor hygiene the whole property. Mean owner who is not willing to provide any basic service. It was a nightmare to stay in this place. Not even sure they change the bedsheet from one of another guest

Super unorganised, had said what time I would be arriving, the room still wasn’t ready. Saw this happen to 3 people (they’d arrive and THEN the room organised). Bathrooms were also dirty and I avoided the kitchen. Great location though and pretty cheap but I wouldn’t go back unfortunately

Amazing location, clean couldn’t get better for the price. It was very easy to find. Staff was very helpful and nice specially Richardo. Near hostel are shops and you allowed to get your own alcohol drinks and bring it over.

The pictures do not represent what you get or see when you get there. Old and dirty, need a good wash and a few coats of paint Breakfast????? One slice of ham and a slice of cheese with a very tiny muffin. Stayed at several hostel during my month of travelling Portugal, this is the worse place ever. Unable to close window at night cause of the smell of mold and humidity in the room
