I stayed at Party Zone Hostel for four nights, paying a total of €204.50.
[Cons] Unfortunately, my stay was not very comfortable. The noise levels made it extremely difficult to sleep. There is a bar located on the ground floor, and noise from neighboring rooms was constant. Additionally, the floors were extremely squeaky, so footsteps could be heard outisde and even from the floor below. The bed itself was uncomfortable; I weight around 50 kg, I found that it lacked support and sagged noticeably. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the bed slats had been installed incorrectly, facing downward instead of upward (had to fix it myself afterwards). On some nights, the room light would flicker or fail to turn on altogether, which was inconvenient.
[Pros] The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, which I greatly appreciated. The bathroom, while quite small and not ideal for plus-sized individuals, was relatively clean and would be cleaned time to time. Both the bed and mattress appeared clean as well. The hostel is also located in a convenient area, within walking distance of major tourist attractions.
Overall Impression Considering the price, I did not find this stay to be good value for money. Unfortunately, it would not be among my top choices for future bookings. Based on my experience, I would not...
Read moreThis is the worst place I've been to. The beds are broken, the towels are yellow, huge stains, in the toilet the door is connected to the balcony without a protective shell, you can take a shower, relieve yourself, and wave your hand to the neighbor from the next window, everything rests on a “kind word.” The smell in the bathroom leaves much to be desired better. Waiting for check-in for more than one hour, while other people who came later than me already went to settle down and relax. YOUR DEPOSIT WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. If your plane leaves at 6 am, you can cancel it to wait for the reception until they wake up and check after you the room in which everything will be broken initially without a deposit. You will not be evicted before 12 noon. The boiler did not do its job , of the four days of rest, for three days we received guests in our room, because, as it turned out, people were flooded below. You can’t even breathe towards the bedside tables, they just fall on your head. put up with all the minuses in the hope that at least the DEPOSIT WILL BE RETURNED. Stupid, arrogant, rude, slow people work at the reception. The photo on booking and in reality does not correspond at all. Для українців: КРАЩЕ НА ВОКЗАЛІ , АБО НА...
Read moreReview: Terrible Experience – Do Not Recommend
We traveled to Lisbon for a holiday and booked a private room with a bathroom through Booking.com. Trusting the platform, we prepaid for two nights. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely negative.
On the first night, someone entered our room without us noticing and stole my backpack. It was only in the morning, when the staff knocked on our door, that we recovered the backpack – but my passport was torn.
This place is not safe. We filed a report with the police and immediately left the accommodation, without any refund or support. On top of the stress and insecurity, we ended up spending much more money in Lisbon than in the rest of the country.
It was a very bad and sad experience because nowhere else in Portugal did we feel this way. Someone entered our room while we were sleeping, which is unacceptable for any establishment that claims to be even minimally professional.
I do not recommend this place to anyone and, honestly, I believe it should not even be listed on Booking.com.
I would still like to mention that the staff were kind and helpful – unfortunately, they are not to blame for the complete lack of security in...
