Very clean and had great common areas to hang out. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Huge, nice kitchens for preparing your own food, and the breakfast was a nice jumpstart in the morning. It was a little hard to find, but a good location overall - near the barrio alto for going out!...

Very nice hostel. Lots of fun. It was like staying at a friends really big house. The food cooked there was amazing. Nice garden with bar (the bar is a little overpriced for a hostel). I would go back.

This hostel is the best hostel Iove stayed at. The staff are absolutely excellent and the breakfast eggs are awesome. Each night the dinners are cooked so well and someone from the hostel always takes us to the best places in town and shows us the best time. Halloween was amazing.

it really is a group of mansions. the individual buildings have several stories and great facilities. but they always seemed empty and cold, hence the lack of character. staff were lovely and helpful, spent most of the time relaxing with them rather than other guests. good location, close to cool... more it really is a group of mansions. the individual buildings have several stories and great facilities. but they always seemed empty and cold, hence the lack of character. staff were lovely and helpful, spent most of the time relaxing with them rather than other guests. good location, close to cool area (barri alto), but its at the bottom of a steep hill which gets mighty tiring after climbing it several times a dayclose

it was great. the staff was so friendly and welcoming and actually made an effort to make friends with the travelers. There was a sense of community and the bartender led the whole group out to a bar together at night which was great for meeting new people. also the food was great,

Amazing hostel- it felt like a home(your rock star friends), very close to some of the best night life in Lisbon. So many activities and the staff were just amazing. I can`t think of a better hostel. Obrigado Oasis!!!!

The staff were incredible, you can tell that they really enjoy working there and really want you to enjoy Lisbon. They go out of their way with so many activities, making so easy to meet people and really enjoy the city and it`s surrounding. Bravo Oasis! Bravo!close

Possibly one of the best hostels ever. Everyone of the staff were so friendly and approachable, particulaly the bar guy. His mohitos and other 'specials' were fantastic! Walking tours, Portuguese Mom, nightly outings to “bairro alto”, Big rooms, with a nice view... a must to stay here :-)

Nice big, clean bathrooms. Lots of activities planned. Can't really use the kitchen to make your own dinner as they provide it (nice food but sometimes you want your own stuff). Cool terrace.

From the moment you walk in you are made so welcome, resulting in everyone feeling relaxed & happy to have a chat. Perfect place if you want to chill or party coz when the bar closes often a staff member will happily take you to a few great bars nearby. Try the yummy 5euro meals & do Brunos tour of the nearby area - sensational! In short, i cant fault the place.close

Fantastic value for money, staff were really great. The place had a fantastically chilled atmosphere that really suited what we wanted during the day. The bar staff take you out to the local bars at night so you can see places you wouldnt yourself.

Great hostel, staff were super friendly and a big help. The home cooked Portuguese meals are a great idea, and the sangria party was a good way to meet other people staying in the hostel. Clean, bright rooms with large bathrooms, great common areas, would highly recommend to anybody.
