The outside of the hostel maybe deceiving, but the inside is very nice and is cleaned daily. I felt very much at home in this hostel and the owners were very helpful with all my questions and gave us good suggestions about where to travel. The metro is 2 min walk and the main area Praca Rossio is less than a 10 min walk. It is a good location and a wonderful place to stay.close

This was the best hostel ever, and the staff was so nice and they will do anything to help you. Definetly worth a stay. Could perhaps use a bit bigger showers, but that is really just a minor detail.

They will inform you a lot about the city and the places to go as well as talking about portuguese life. Nevertheless, I will not recommand to go there during the full period because it must be to small (not the bedroom but bathroom and kitchen) if every bed is occupied.close

It's a good choice if you are slim and do not have heavier luggage. The problem is that the street to this hostel is very very steep. It's a disaster if you carry a heavier luggage and walk to this hostel. There is no lift and the room is on the third floor. The bathroom is very very small. If you are big, I do not recommand this hostel.close

The staff is just wonderful! One can forget the guidebooks and listen to them explaining all about their city with so much enthusiasm. Very nice and relaxed place to stay. Rooms a little too jammed, but in the end, there is a comfortable living room. Makes you feel like home... will definitely...

The friendliness, kindness, and helpfulness of the staff was exemplary, and played a large role in the fact that we loved Lisbon. They greeted us with a smile whenever we came in, helped us choose what to visit during the day, and which bars are the best at night. The hostel is cleaned several times a day, and so is very clean. It is also secure as you need to ring up whenever you come in (there is no curfew).close

I can not rate the staff highly enough, they are incredibly nice and helpful. The bathroom is a little cramped, but it does the job. It's also a bit of a killer walk up the hill and then up the stairs, but it's all worth coming "home" to this nice hostel.
