81%Guesthouse Beira Mar

The very steep steps up to the room surprised me, and was a bit hard to bring my suitcase up.

One of the best things though, was being in the Fado district of town, where you can hear the Fado singers in the night if your lucky!! That was Great!! I would recommend it if your looking for a cheap hostel to stay in. But, there are 4 flights of stairs, so if you need an elevator...probably not a good idea.close

as a hostel i would say Nothing to really complain about, but it was more like a guest house with kitchen and small common area staff were friendly, free internet, lots of stairs, not the best place for meeting people, generally a good place to stay if you need a bed.

Simpel hostel, so of course not much to do. Very good location though and we really liked our room with seaview!!!

Some of the rooms face the main road and so can be quite noisy but that aside great little spot with lovely people.

Well-kept place in Alfama, which is a really nice surrounding. The room was kept really clean, breakfast was good and staff really nice. We even had a very sexy shower booth in our room ;-) Would go here again.

Breakfast was a nice touch. Extra friendly and helpful staff. Nice location next to the Alfama restaurants and not bad for town - about a 10 minute walk to P. d. Commercio. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Bring earplugs for the street noise at night, but that virtually...

Pas d'eau chaude dans la chambre (douche et lavabo) d'où nécessité d'utiliser la salle de bain collective. Situé au 4ème étage sans ascenseur! Très fatigant avec les valises!

A great hostel but unfortunately no one speaks a word of English, so it is hard to do basic things like check in, ask questions aboug the area and get taxi's to the airport. A pre-prepared Q&A sheet in English would help for the basic things like how to use the security, lights, where to find...

I don't want to be harsh because most of the staff here are lovely, but there is also the rudest, crankiest, angriest woman i have ever met in my life who made every minute of evfery dealing with her almost unbearable. I really hope she gets the sack, then the place would be so much better.
