Lisbon Hostels

Here is a short and professional review in English: A remarkable 3 night stay at Lisboa Central Hostel The staff is exceptional, providing top-notch service and excellent local guidance. A huge thank you to Louana, Tristia, and the rest of the team for their warmth and professionalism. Highly recommended

Looking at the pictures, I thought this was in a suburban area, as a small garden like this doesn't seem like something you'd find in Lisbon's old town. But surprisingly, there are still spaces like this even on the upper floors of old town apartment buildings. The owner is very thoughtful, and it felt like very Chinese-style service. The English-speaking front desk service was excellent, and since it was Halloween, there were candies on the bar, plus free lemonade! However, the biggest issue is that there's no elevator to the fourth floor, and I nearly collapsed dragging my large suitcase before getting through the door. Thankfully, the room itself was clean, tidy, and comfortable, and the space wasn't as small as other apartments. It was very cozy, and there are many fantastic little shops nearby, with food and atmosphere that are just as good as Michelin-starred places! Loved it.

Pros: The public area on the first basement level is huge, and the kitchen is also very large, connecting to a garden, which is lovely. Cons: There are only shared restrooms and showers. The showers are push-button style, so you have to keep pressing them. However, there are several restrooms and showers on each floor, which is quite sufficient, and I didn't have to queue. Location: There are quite a few slopes nearby; you'll need to walk uphill from the subway station. If you have a lot of luggage, I recommend taking a taxi. Cleanliness: Good, very clean.

I can recommend this hostel for a couple of nights or for a long layover. It has a good location, with an airport bus stop and metro station not far away. The staff at the reception are very friendly. As for the rooms, the capsule style is quite comfortable, but the rooms are very small, the walls are thin, and the soundproofing is poor. Other women were talking loudly in the kitchen, they seem to be permanent residents, and their voices could even be heard in the sleeping area. Some guests are very noisy in the kitchen, acting as if they're on a TV show. They take up all the tables with their groceries, leaving no space for others to sit. Of course, this isn't the hostel's fault, but they could implement rules regarding the use of common areas. The hostel is a bit tired and could use some cosmetic renovations. Cleaning is done daily, but the cleaning staff are very unfriendly. Conclusion: A good hostel for a short stopover.

Everything was great – the location is very convenient, close to the train station, making it easy to get around and walk to attractions. The staff were also very friendly. The only drawback was that the shower kept automatically shutting off, so I had to keep pressing the button while showering, which was a bit inconvenient. The common area and rooftop cafe were also very nice.

The room with bathroom inside the room with balcony. No curtains on the beds, the light can bother, no privacy. There is elevator, no problems with luggage. There is a kitchen, but is closed in the night time. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This hostel is located about 3km walk from the center city, but does have some close by attractions (such as the Jeronimo's Monetary) The room is extremely small, if you seat on the edge of the bed and try to stretch your legs, you'll most likely hit the wall. We had our room replaced, as the first room had zero privacy for the toilet and the second room gave the illusion of privacy (as you can see in photos) We've not seen any of the management, as everything is done thru WhatsApp to contact them and they will respond. Breakfast was OK, it had a bit of choices but there was more cakes and cookies then actual food.

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the nearest subway station, but please note that there is only an escalator from the platform to the station lobby, and there are only stairs from the lobby to the ground level. If you are carrying large luggage, it is best to take the bus. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the hotel to Rossio Station in the city center. I also walk to and from the city center every day to save transportation costs. Before check-in, the hotel contacted me to inquire about the check-in time, so I had to reply because the staff may be out sometimes. The hotel reception is in a unit on the right side of the third floor. My room is in a unit on the right side of the second floor. The unit on the left side of the same floor is where the locals live, so be careful not to ring the wrong doorbell. There are small elevators from the ground floor to each floor. Each unit has multiple rooms sharing 3 bathrooms, one of which only has a toilet. In addition, they put some stink balls in the washbasin, probably to prevent mosquitoes, so there is a smell of stink balls in the bathroom, which is a bit strange but acceptable. There are some black molds on the leak-proof rubber edge of the bathtub. As for the room, the beds are very clean, but there is some dust in some places, such as the baseboards and the electric extension cord (mop). If you have a mysophobia, you should pay attention to it. In addition, there is a dining area on each floor, which is equipped with a microwave, refrigerator and water heater for convenient dining. There is also a terrace for smokers. The room I stayed in, No. 204, had a small terrace with a view of the No. 28 tram stop, so there was a chance that I would be woken up by the sound of the tram passing by early in the morning. For those who are easily woken up by noise, it is recommended to bring earplugs. There is a medium-sized supermarket within a 5-minute walk from the hotel, which is convenient for purchasing food. Since I stayed during the Easter peak season, it was great value to be able to stay in a single room for less than HK$400 per night including tax. It is also worth mentioning that the staff here are very friendly and helpful. They even told me that I can get a discount at the restaurant diagonally opposite the downstairs with my room key.

Convenient location, I have stayed there many times, the price/performance ratio is OK

Never have I seen 3 beds stacked up on top of each other. Had a nice balcony and shower. Was pretty far away from main center though possible to access via a nearby bus.
