Nomad 64 — Hotel in Lisbon

I have never stayed in a hostel before. This was my first time staying in a hostel, and it was really nice. Much much nicer than I expected.||||I checked in later than their advised time, and they were very accommodating. Took me through the main rules there, and showed me where everything was on a map of the area, but I had already done all my research. ||||There weren't many places to eat nearby, so I walked out to the nearest area around 9pm, and had a really nice meal. When I got back to the hostel it was already 11pm, and people were already sleeping in the room. The room I was in had two bunk beds and 6 girls in total (I had booked a single sex room), and I was in the middle bunk. It was hard to move around in the room in the dark without making too much noise, as I wasn't sure of the normal rules for staying in a hostel. ||||There were no power points on my level of the bunk, and even though we were each provided an extension cable to use, I didn't use mine, as I felt like the bottom bunk might get annoyed. I just left my phone to charge on he floor, where the power was.||||Beds were comfy, and air con was good, but rooms can get stuffy, if not open during the day. There is a hook at the end of the bed, usually people hung their towel (provided by the hostel) on there, and a small locker in the wardrobe for your personal belongings, which each person is provided a key too, as well as lots of wardrobe and draw space. ||||Hot water is available all day, with two bathrooms and one toilet. There wasn't a time when I had to queue for too long to use the bathroom. It was clean, and modern.||||Breakfast was basic (choose between toast with ham and cheese or cereal and fruit) with yoghurt and a choice of tea, coffee or juice. It was enough to get me started for the day.||||Communal areas were clean and spacious. A TV was on one end of the dining room, with a comfy sofa. Wifi was also very good. Location was great; very close to lots of places of interest, and close to a metro station.||||I could not have asked for a better first time hostel experience. For a hostel novice, this was really good, as it wasn't a hotel, but had the feel of a hotel, with the social aspects...

Nomad 64 is centrally located in the Marques do Pombal district and about 300 yards from that metro stop. Clean, stylish, great dining area, and very cozy. Fellow travelers were chill and friendly. Bathrooms and kitchens were still kept and being able to cook was really handy. But what really set it apart were the staff. Rita in particular was quite possibly the best host I've ever encountered, giving us tips on things to do, including the upcoming Festa do San Antonio, and even made sure that on the night of every guest knew about the festivities and where to go. She advised us on vegan dining options for our daughter and was ridiculously helpful. Breakfast wasn't amazing, gut got the job done, with ham, cheese, toast, jam, etc. Brewed coffee would be better than instant but still all in all a great place to...

Nomad 64, Katarina and Rita was already in contact with me a few days ahead before I arrived. I really appreciate the care they take into on the arrival of their guest.

Instructions provided to me was very clear and checked on me if I had a good sleep and had any problem doing a self check-in as I arrived in the evening.

The kitchen and dining area was a nice place. I felt that I was staying at a home more than a hostel. The WiFi connection was good as well. Breakfast was all you can eat. I reckon people who choose to stay here value their privacy and also enjoy the quietness of the place. I honestly preffered this over the busy and loud hostels.

You can make more quality connection at the dining space. Should I visit Lisboa again, Nomad would be my place to go.

Thank...
