We had a room in what was like a separate apartment in this little neighborhood; it was like we were a part of the community - which we loved because it wasn't like we were a tourist, staying in a very touristy type place. the area where our room was was like an apartment with a shared kitchen... more We had a room in what was like a separate apartment in this little neighborhood; it was like we were a part of the community - which we loved because it wasn't like we were a tourist, staying in a very touristy type place. the area where our room was was like an apartment with a shared kitchen and living room. The neighbors played guitar on the patio, and the breakfast on the balcony with a view of Lisbon and the ocean were an added bonus. I would definately stay again!close

If you want to get a feel for the old part of Lisbon this is the place to stay. It's away from the commercial part of the city but close to a lot of cool things. Walking distance to the castle and a lot of great sights.

Nice hostel in a very good location. Staff was very nice and helpful. We were in a double room; it was small, but nice and clean. Some guests were quite noisy, though.

Kitchen was very well equiped and there is a big map on the wall showing you were to go for a drink, food, shopping and tourist stuff. Lockers were under the bed and so were a little small but if you bring a little lock and travel chain (as all backpackers should) then this really isn't a problem. Hostel had an awesome view from the balcony (makes the walkclose

Not as new and flashy as some other hostels in Lisbon, but has great character (and good views of the river). The bbq night is a fantastic feed!

Location simply superb, not central (just 10 minutes walking to the Baixa), but you are in the most old-fashioned bairro. Very easy to met other travellers: the garden-patio to them, the attic terrazza to relax with a superb view over Alfama and the Tejo. Clean and very safe, no one can enter without being checked (24h no curfew). Here you can discover the real Lisbon atmosphere: is like to live in the past.close

We were two days and the experience was fantastic. The staff was very kind with us. The breakfast was OK and having it in the tables of the garden is a luxury. Be careful with the terrace. It's very windy at night. I'll recommend it.

Most of what you want to see is downhill, and when you head back to the hostel Tram 28 is your friend. Definitely request a bed in the main hostel area if you can get it. The room I was in (in the annex) was cramped and sound from the bathroom that it sat on came right upstairs. The hostel apparently allows families because there were also families with (loud) small children in neighboring rooms.close

Join the BBQ, it is the best BBQ I've ever had in a hostel. Tons of excellent food and even more sangria. 43 liters of sangria is to beat!! ;-) Very friendly and helpful staff, i had a lot of fun with you guys!close
