I was positively surprised. It was the best hostel I've stayed so far; v helpful and v nice staff, v clean rooms & facilities. Moreover, the LOTH is placed in the heart of the city. Visiting it is a must!

We loved this hostel. Great energy all around. Spacious, charming hostel in a great neighborhood. The staff was young, friendly and relaxed. The hostel is set back a couple blocks from the main street so it is nice and quiet at night.

Lisbon Old Town Hostel is the nicest hostel I've stayed at - in any country. Breakfast was generous and staff were incredibly helpful. Only word of caution is that the walls are extremely thin. If you are immune to noise, this is the hostel for you.

I had a really good time there, 5 minutes walking from the bars by night, good location, quiet as not being directly in the bar streets, I had a perfect time there in August before going to the BOOM Festival!

Staff friendly and helpful, although the number 44 bus they recommend for the airport took an hour, not 35 minutes as advised, and 10 minutes into the trip I spotted the NO LUGGAGE sign, so probably better off with the number 91 airport bus. Stayed upon my return to Lisbon after heading south so am a fan. Highly recommend.close

In other reviews I read some complaints about there only being one (small) woman's toilet and shower, but there are more bathroom facilities upstairs. It did get rather loud at night, as people would have loud discussions until 5 or 6am. Other than that, this was a good place to stay in Lisbon.close
