The hostel was very clean, especially virtually spotless kitchen, and even the bathroom was tidy and hygienic. Our complimentary towels were fine, and they gave us the option to ask for free room cleaning (sheet replacement, towel replacement) every day, which was more than most hostels would so. Our bed linens came with the room and were clean as well, though they only give you one fleece blanket, which was not enough for either of us, as the temperature in the building throughout the day and night was freezing. We were lucky to have found the blanket store cupboard off the kitchen, and we both snuck away a few extra blankets to survive the night! ||||It was fairly quiet at all times of day, as the hostel is comprised of maybe 4-5 rooms all on the same floor. We booked a double room, which came with two pretty small and basic beds and not much else. The beds were a bit hard, but for hostel beds were not terrible. The room its self was bare-- the only amenities were a clothing rack (instead of a closet or wardrobe) and a small wooden table topped with a really cheap plastic lamp. ||||We had our own "private" bathroom, but it was down the hall from out room and right off the communal area, so quite awkward. Not to mention unlocked always, and resembling a general public toilet--so I was nervous to leave my toiletries there during the day, and I'm pretty sure most guests were using it on a daily basis, along with staff. It was very clean, but WAY too small to sit on the toilet without sitting sideways (and I'm only an average-height girl). The shower was warm and the pressure was good. ||||The one staff member we met was nice, but there was very little interaction other than the initial meeting / giving the keys. ||||The kitchen was spotless and had an empty and clean refrigerator, as well as a microwave, electric kettle, stovetop, toaster, pots and pans, a sink, and a small counter for eating. Most cutlery was provided fine enough, but there wasn't a single spoon for the entire 4 days we spend there...||||Important to note that the hostel is very inaccessible to anyone with mobility concerns, as all of the rooms are on the third floor of the building, and the reception area is on the fourth floor; there is no lift / elevator. ||||The location was good, right near both the Baixa and Alfama districts, with lots of shops and restaurants along the street and nearby areas. Also very close to the airport transport shuttle bus stop...
Read moreWe spent 4 nights there and it was such a bad experience! Firstly, the room was on the 4th floor with no elevator (steps are very high, not recommended if you have heavy bags or children). The room didn’t even have a mirror (always found in every hostel) and a chair to put clothes on (didn’t know where to put wet towels). The bathroom was shared with another 5 rooms (so maybe 10/12 people) and it was always occupied. But the worst was the noise ! We could hear the other guests talking and even walking in the room next to ours as if they were in the same room, doors closure is noisy so you basically wake up all the time someone closes their door.||||Bright side of the nightmare was the location of the hostel, the fact it was clean and the mattress was comfortable (not the pillows...
Read moreVery good price-quality ratio, clean rooms, 24 hours reception, excelent location. We booked private room with bathroom for 2 persons and it was the cheapest one with the private bathroom in the area - basic furniture but desent and clean, very quite for sleeping, not many people around.. it has a shared kitchen area with fridge where you can leave your food..even has dishees for cooking. Within short walking distance to almost all landmarks. Very nice and polite girls who work on the reception. 4th floor without elevator but not a big issue
