Well there were no rats or bugs which is the best I can say. I've stayed in 4 other similar price hostels in the past month and Terrace Lisbon was the worst one I've seen. FYI check in is cash only, the owner told me to go find the multibanco at the end of the street. The bathroom has black mold everywhere and smells like sewage as soon as you turn on the water. There is no soap and no paper towels at the sinks (I left out the empty soap cartridge on the counter multiple times and staff just put it back still empty), and both dispensers are broken. The locks both on the front door of the building and to the actual rooms are broken and very difficult to lock and unlock as the actual frame of the locks aren't actually attached to the door, and the keys are like big toy fairytale keys, just decoration and no actual security. The walls are so thin that even in the private rooms you can hear the person in the room next to you snoring all night. There is no heat and no air conditioning in the rooms, it was freezing cold in my room in January. There is never anyone at the reception desk, I gave my room key to a cleaning lady to check out. The construction workers from the building next door come in to use the hostel bathrooms. Just go somewhere else, if you're trying to experience Lisbon then Belém and LXFactory are good for a day trip but sleep somewhere closer to Rossio Square. Belém is a...
Read moreAfter several terrible exsperiences in Lisbon at very bad hostel. Prices even at the worst ones really high now. So arriving to a hostel like this one is really truly liberating, relaxing and as a hostel should be. The owner is super nice, polite & flexible. We made a good reduction in the price (as I am a full-time traveler and therefore do not spend the night as a tourist. I "stay" significantly longer than usual in hostels) we were both satisfied with. In addition to that, there are good vibes here, clean, 2 bathrooms/toilets, a nice kitchen and, not least, a cozy courtyard where you, as a smoker, like the undersigned, can have a cigarette or just sit and enjoy yourself. Can really recommend this place and I have been in Many hostels over decades now. In addition to this is the location in Belém. One of the most beautiful places in Lisbon. The place tourists make a pilgrimage to both currently and of course also in the high season. 5 stars out of 5...
Read moreGood safe neighbourhood but there was very limited service at the hostel; no one around to help for vast majority of the time & the one man we saw a few times (briefly) couldn’t speak English. There were full ashtrays left around, the patio was in disrepair and the small kitchens & bathrooms weren’t great. Suggest the managers change the dish cloths and sort out the water on the floor in the bathrooms. You need to get a metro from the airport and THEN the 728 bus. I wouldn’t stay here again, but if you...
