The hostel has a bed bug problem - which they are not dealing with properly. After a night in one room I was bitten all over my body - after complaining we changed rooms but suspected that the other room had the same problem. All their linen is speckled with small blood marks which is a clear sign of bed bugs.||||No compensation was offered by the staff, but we had to demand for it ourselves. But a free stay won't compensate for the itching bite marks nor the trouble you have to go through cleaning, freezing and washing your luggage after the holiday. Until they have dealt with the problem, I would not recommend anybody staying at this hostel.||||The rooms seemed clean otherwise, but the bathrooms were filthy and the drains of the showers blocked in every bathroom. The description on their webpage is grossly inflated in many ways, e.g. the rooms don't have most of the equipment they claim they do. The only positive thing was the...
Read moreHow surprised were we when we arrived at this hostel. Very clean, great showers always with hot water, open communal living room, good kitchen space. Only things needed are another 2 fridges and at least one freezer. Good-ok staff team. Keep an eye out for health and safety features for your safety. Great location for transport but not for restaurants. Local shops less than ten minutes. I have to mention the hills!!! The HILLS!!! Central Lisbon is known for their "7 hills..." This is more like 777 hills:-) Anywhere you go, turn left its a hill, turn right another hill and very steep. Get your comfortable trainers on, you will need it. Forget heels because all pavements, well most, are cobbled or tiny square tiles-slippery. Hostel in a charming building with lift. Felt very safe there and had a comfortable stay. Bus stop on door step and souvenir and clothes etc shop...
Read moreSmall hostel with few double rooms and few multiple rooms. Bathroom is shared- there is 6 separate bath/toilet rooms 3 for women 3 for men. Small kitchen, living room if you really need it in Lisbon. Hostel is located near metro station Marques do Pombal - blue and yellow line - so very good communicated with the city. Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is from 8:30 till 10:00 so don't sleep too long 😉 breakfast is quite boring-every day the same things - but fresh. Coffee could be a little bit stronger 😉😎 If you stay in Lisbon for 3 nights it's gonna be fine, for longer you may be bored with breakfasts or a little bit annoyed by sharing toilet with strangers. Very good price to comfort. Comfortable bed, silent in the night. Free Wi-Fi but slow connection or no connection at all...
