This hostel made me feel like I was at home, in Lisbon. Great location, great staff, great atmosphere. I really enjoyed to stay there. I actually spent almost a mouth there. It was great. U can have wi-fi at the lobby, u can cook, and its the cleanest hostel I've ever seen.

This hostel is one of the best we have ever been to in Europe, which made our stay in Lisbon so much more enjoyable! The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful (especially Bruno and Patricia). We would definitely go back to this hostel and highly recommend it to travelers!

It's a really nice place with a really good location (particularly to go out). Only one negative point: they should buy computers!!!! One computer for all the hostel and the people who are working there: it's not enough!!

Above average hostel for sure. Up a bit of a hill but good security and staff were helpful. A bit quite on the social side if you wanna meet people, and only one male toilet was a bit of a downside, but overall good.

One of the best hostels I have stayed in. Highly recommended. It has all the amenities a hostel should have and a great location. Beds are comfy, ensuite bathrooms are attached for convenience, all the latest movies are on dvd for a night in and hammocks in the backyard. Definitely stay here!

There were no lights in the stairwell which was quite scary. Also there was no place to change in the shower.And the beds were very very squeaky! Great location if you want to be close to the night life, quite new and clean.

Very nice hostel!!! I loved the colors!!! I had the blue room!!! It was in the center of the city and the staff was the coolest... I have a suggestion for the hostel owners, put some curtains, because I woke up really early because of the light.

Only one shower was working when we got there, but the hostel gave us a discount and for that I think it´s still a rather good hostel. You get a locker and the hostel has ikea like furniture and decoration. Right across the road from a supermarket. Great experience in Lisbon.

Bad things: 1 Toilet, 1 Shower for the entire Hostel. Bathrooms smelled really bad, Internet was on the receptionist's desk, and they never got off it for more than 5 minutes, the buzzer broke to get in, and it took forever to get back in the Hostel because the guard/receptionist was passed out,... more Bad things: 1 Toilet, 1 Shower for the entire Hostel. Bathrooms smelled really bad, Internet was on the receptionist's desk, and they never got off it for more than 5 minutes, the buzzer broke to get in, and it took forever to get back in the Hostel because the guard/receptionist was passed out, all rooms are at least 4 people, no matter what it says online, cold showers, no signs for the hostel. Good things: location in Bairro Alto, a lot of nightlife there, bars, etc, and there is breakfast, coffee and bread of course.close

The hostel is perfectly located if you want to go out at night and the ambience in it was great. The only thing I did not like was the lack of keys for the rooms: dors are open 24 hours a day. But that was not a problem because you have huge free lockers in the room, so you don´t have to concern about security (and, I repeat, the ambience was so great that you don´t even care). I highly recommend it!close

If I book a double room with my wife - I dont´t want a bunk bed. If I go to toilet I wan´t a key. When they are more people in the hostel - one toilet is´nt enough. Markus
