91%Lisbon Poets Hostel

The staff were friendly. The dinner night was pretty good. Facilities are new looking. It was November so hostel was quite lifeless though. Only a 5min walk to the Old Town.

BEAUTIFUL hostel with a ton of character with a perfect location in the center of the shopping and historical district. A full kitchen and comfortable living area. Thick bedding, breakfast and lockers free of charge. The staff was very helpful, except the grouchy housekeeper.

we loved the lisbon poets hostel. we booked a 6 bed dorm, and we got the room to ourselves for the weekend. the free internet was a perk, and the location is very central and easy. i will reccomend this hostel to anyone i know visiting lisbon

Best hostel, i have been so far. The location is just perfect. Close to the Bairro Alto area and in the heart of Chiado. The room and WC are very clean, and the personnal is lovely.

We only stayed one very short night, so there isn´t much to tell. The staff was friendly and the room clean. The only minus was the two separate beds, we had hoped to have a double bed on the last night on our honeymoon.

We were really close to the museum and Rossio square, only downside was noise at night from restaurants. Otherwise, this hostel is fantastic, staff were among the most friendly and helpful I have ever met, and really went out of their way for guests. Great kitchen, really good security and super clean, I'd definitely recommend it.close

Best location for tourism into the city. Walk to traditional restaurants and nightlife of the Bairro Alto. Extremely friendly staff, met other guests from all over Europe, and brand new facilities! One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in.

We were little bit disappointed with breakfast. Too small for us :-) Just two small croissants, butter and smal jam and milk/coffee/tea...but other things was quite good... We know better hostels, but for that price, we can recommend it.

As no hostel staff are present after 5pm we found youngsters were letting in friends not staying at the hostel As our main bedroom window didn't close fully we had excessive noise from the street..

In hindsight, this is the main reason to recommend this hostel. Negatives: difficult to find; narrow and steep staircase to climb with baggages; booked a double bed and got two separate beds instead; dark and crowded inside. Positives: breakfast included (although not as lavish as in the Oporto Poets); most attractions are within easy reachclose

Super clean and well equipped hostel (kitchen, GREAT showers, big lounge, tv +movies). However avoid the cleaning lady who made our time here arkward and angry. she hides things from u in the kitchen, yells at u in portugese and hates you hanging round the lounge during the day. She spoiled my time here, and the reaction from her was completely unprovoked. She just didnt seem to like people in HER kitchen.close

It was only 5 minutes from the Rossio square and within 15 minutes walk of all the shops, restaurants and nightlife. The hostel accomodated for us being vegan by providing a good vegan friendly breakfast. Free internet access and free showers are available! Highly recommended!!!close

I suggest it would be a good idea to inclue the house number (42) of the second location for the twins an d double rooms in the rua do duque in the location map (pdf file) and the catalouge as it was a bit difficult to find this location without the house number

This is a great place to stay, right around the corner from A Brasileira and walking distance from a bunch of other things. The only down side to this place is that the beds are extremely uncomfortable.

I chatted with the owner, and someone even cooked an authentic Portuguese meal while I was there. Great place.close

Nothing else to say... Lisbon Poets Hostel is a beautiful place, the best in the city. At the evening, staying in the louge room, reading a book or talking with people, is so great, sometimes I prefered to remain in the hostel, rather go outiside around Lisbon!

Located in Largo do Chiado, the heart of Lisbon. Because of that, maybe it's a little noisy but it's a charming hostel, with nice staff, huge rooms and a comfortable living room.
