    the locker for the suitcase is small. the size of a high school locker!

    Location is great, right beside the subway station! the staff is great, the rooms are comfy and the little fan on my bunker bed is a game changer. definitely will come back.

    The hostel is very conveniently located, at around 5 min from the metro station and with most central areas being at max 15-20 min walking distance. My friend and I stayed in a 6-people dormitory room, which was pleasantly large, even more than what can be seen in the pictures (contrarily to other hostels e.g. in London, where you barely have space to move around). Each bed is nicely equipped with an individual (bright) light, plugs and a small fan, and with a curtain giving full privacy and darkness. The staff was very nice and available at all times, and even offered free food outside of the included breakfast (amazing the bacalhau made in the pan with eggs that we had once for dinner, the best we had in the whole trip!). Highly recommended!

    absolutely nothing springs to mind at all

    Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The place was very homey, you felt really at home there. Very easy to settle in. The breakfast each morning was great. Plenty of choice and the food was always topped up if items were running out. Metro stop very convenient for getting around Lisbon and surrounding area. Love the left luggage facility where you can leave your luggage after booking out when you are not leaving Lisbon until later that day. It was so good to be able to wonder around the city without all your luggage, before going off to the airport

    Everything was just fine, as usually.

    I stayed here before and was very pleased with everything—the staff, the bed, the location, and the food they offer. After a long day exploring the city, I really appreciated the privacy. The breakfast is lovely, with a nice selection including coffee and tea, juices, breads, pancakes, cereals, ham and cheese, jams, and more. The place is clean and cozy, and the staff is always friendly. I also enjoyed the welcome drink at check-in, though it’s optional if you’re not into alcohol. The location is fantastic—just a few minutes to the park, with the metro, restaurants, and bars all close by. If you’re feeling lazy, you can grab a drink at the reception. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped if you prefer to prepare your own meals. All in all, I highly recommend booking your stay here and enjoying everything it has to offer.

    I put 10's because I couldn't fault this place.. Honestly, I can't think of anything negative!

    I put 10 and all smiley faces.. I'm not a bot, I was just in lust with this hostel! Staff were super friendly, patient, and informative! I felt like the location was pretty close to everything that I wanted to see within lisbon. But travelling around the city is easy and cheap. The information on activities and sights is probably the best I have ever seen. They have detailed maps, pictures, and suggestions on food and bars. They offer a really decent free breakfast, coffee, tea, fruits, etc. Common room areas are super inclusive, have heaps of charging points for your devices, and feel like a home. The shower facilities are great. They also allow you to shower and freshen up before you can check in - if early and after you check out when you are going to leave. The beds are methodically thought of and have curtains, small fan, light, and power sources for devices. They have purposely made wide wooden stairs to get to the top bunk instead of a ladder. Lockers in the room are a decent size. Easily fit my medium/large backpack. Rooms had aircon, the city was quite cool though so you could get away with having the window open (on the second floor)

    With limited storage space the room felt a bit messy, because of all of our luggage. The lockers are useful, but loud - especially during the night. The room was clean, but the older furniture makes it seem less so. No shelves in the bathroom to put things on.

    The location is great, close to the metro and accessible to the centre. The staff was super friendly and always happy to help with anything, they even let me borrow a blowdryer. I was really impressed with breakfast, which is free, there were even pancakes with fruits! The hostel has several bathrooms, but I would have liked a bit more shelves to put things on in the bathrooms, when you're getting ready. The room is good but has old furniture. There is a locker which is operated with a coin, but little other storage space. I liked that there was a place to hang clothes. Both: the room and bathrooms were clean. The hostel has themed evening activities if anyone wants to hang-out there and it feels like they try really hard to create a sense of community. They also have a ton of recomendations for daytrips and things to see, and you can book some trips at the reception.

    I don't count, how many times I spent here. Great location near metro, bars, restaurants, not so far from main Lisbon promenade. Room; clean, neat, quiet, refreshingly in those hot summer days. Staff as usually pleasant, helpful, breakfast is nice, fresh pancakes are welcome 😇. Again, definitely recommending.😏

    That I had to leave :)

    Best hostel!! Everything is amazing! I made friends here, so many amazing people. The breakfast is good, we had something every day like free tapas, movie night, free milkshake. The staff were soo kind!! For the price it's especially really good. I stayed in a 6-bed mixed room on the second floor, and although it's a hostel, I felt so much privacy which was amazing. The bathrooms are really good (for privacy again), you could rent a towel for 2 euros. Room was spacious, bed is comfortable and in my room people were very respectful and didn't make much noise so I actually got some really good night's sleep which I didnt expect to do at a hostel!

    Everything was great and this is definitely one of my favourite hostel experiences so far. First and foremost all the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I did not join but the hostel provides all kinds of services and activities such as guided walks and breakfasts. I also loved that the building may not be new but it is very well maintained and clean. Everything was working well. Other guests that I have met were all well-mannered and my room/bed was comfortable.

    The location isn't the perfect one tho but not bad either. U can reach main attractions by bus or metro.

    The hostel was clean very comfortable. The breakfast is good, the staff was very welcoming. The beds were very comfy even if u get an upper bad it's very easy to get access to.

    No complaints.

    -The hostel is well designed with fun, kitschy decor! Great hostel vibe! -Conveniently located with close proximity to the metro. -The steps to the upper bunk beds are amazing! Ingenious idea! Easy access to the top bunks! (Every other hostel needs to take a look at this!!) -Spacious dorm rooms, with individual lockers. -Impeccably clean and well maintained. -Ample bathrooms and toilets available which were very clean. -The breakfast is generous with a large variety of food items. Smiley pancakes to start your day! -The staff were incredible! Super friendly and helpful with recommendations, luggage, etc. Thanks to Tomas who helped me book transport to the airport! Kudos to the entire team! Great job! :)
