    Nothing was bothering me that much.

    It was a nice hostel, not very central but good connections to the city center. The staff was very nice and friendly. There were two kitchens where you can also cook.

    The only issue we had is our bed was a bit uncomfortable, and made lots of noise whenever you moved

    Nice hostel, the staff were super friendly and accomodating!! The room and general areas were kept clean and tidy. Overall a great value for money.

    The only shower on the 3rd floor didn't have enough pressure and the water was never warm enough, sometimes it was actually cold.

    They had a cabinet to leave the luggage and a electric oven quite handy. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    Unhappy, our room had problems with electricity plug, but they provided another option, but only one, so we had to find our way to schedule charges.

    Kitchen can be better equipped. No obvious place where to store food apart from the fridges, though you get some cupboard space after asking staff. The piano they show in the pictures does not work, it's just decoration and that was a bit heartbreaking.

    Small room but cozy, with complete bathroom which you share with 4 people maximum. Two outlets, personal bed light and little shelf for your personal stuff or to place your phone when you charge it while you sleep. Personal lockers with provided key. Helpful and very friendly staff. Nicely decorated patio where you can hang out and socialize with guests, eat something, etc.

    I stayed at the motel for 2 weeks and for the price the experience was perfect! All the staff are friendly, polite and very helpful with city recommendations or just for a chat. The room and common area are also kept very clean, and there is a cool, colorful lounge area outside. The location of the motel is very easy to find from Casa da Música - straight down Avenue da Boavista where there are ATMs and bus stations. Around the motel there is a grocery store LIDL and all kinds of parks.

    The room was a bit small which made it hard to navigate discreetly around the beds and set out our luggage

    The hostel was very nice, comfortable, clean and we loved the facilities. The team was helpful and friendly, and the decor overall is definitely well thought of. The back patio/terrace is fab, ideal for grabbing a beer with your friends and meet new people! Nice wee rooms and comfy mattresses.

    It was extremely clean, quiet, comfortable, respectful, and the people and staff were really nice :) The neighborhood is very charming and peaceful too, and close to a lidl.

    There was a pigeon nest just behind the wall, screeching all the time. But hey, sharing again, right? 🤣

    Good location, everything available in walking distance. Friendly staff. It is a hostel, so prepare to share. :-) The room was a definition of tiny, but cosy.

    If you’re in a bunk they make so much noise when you move so it’s very noisy during the night if someone moves. The walls are also very thin so it meant I could head people in the next room moving in their bed too!! I also didn’t like that the door didn’t lock. At night there was no way to lock the room door as they don’t give out keys! The main door is locked but I felt as a room of females we should be able to lock our door as anyone from the hostel could come in.

    I loved the facilities, kitchen, the chill out zone and the staff were very helpful and friendly! The room was never full which was an added bonus.

    The room was really small, there is no possibility to have your suitcase open all time. It's around 15 min from the metro station and more than 40 min from the center on foot.

    My room has a bathroom, so I shared it only with the girls who live with me. There is access to the kitchen and a nice patio. The place is value for money and the staff is helpful.
