    Cons -

    • We were sent an incorrect hotel code, we were not able to get into the hotel at all. We got there at 11pm but I thought with the door code this wouldn't be a problem and there was no indication that it would be on the site. We would like a refund.
    • Heater in the room didn't work very well so room was still extremely cold. Extra pillow that was provided did not come with a pillowcase, extra bedding was dirty and had numerous makeup/miscellaneous stains on it. No communal kitchenette either. Rooms are all very close together and the hallway is extremely narrow, makes for a quite awkward interaction having to share the bathrooms. For the price, it was fine to be able to have your own private room, but I think I would have preferred having a shared room with a better experience instead.
    • Infrastructure is crumbling. Electric sockets don’t work, washroom lights don’t work. Place is not cleaned. No access to toilet paper or water or any other basic stuff. Also receptionist is for very limited hours so no option to ask any thing or contact anyone outside of their hours.

    I really can’t complain about anything.

    Location

    Communication: no info at the reception regarding accommodation, paying of the tourist tax, late response

    9michellePosted on: 11-7-2025

    You're very clean and comfortable rooms

    It was very difficult to find not a lot of signage and locals didn't even know the place was thereThere was two bars outside my window that went all night, loud and loud music

    9CarolPosted on: 10-28-2025

    It’s was my first time in Portugal and this place makes me feel comfortable and makes me feels feeling like home. Space, room very clean and the location is so close with a lot of attractions.

    5CherylPosted on: 10-20-2025

    Location was good, easy to access attractions

    The hostel is across from a bar that is very noisy until late at night. The windows are fairly sound proof but I still needed earplugs. The reception is only available in the afternoon so you need to arrive at right time.

    5KarlaPosted on: 10-16-2025

    The mattress and the pillow were not comfortable. The stairs are made of wood and every time you went up, they made a noise. You could hear all the noise from other rooms.

    7MelissaPosted on: 10-8-2025

    Very well located and close to everything in the center. Space have the necessary and staff is amazing, specially Julia in the front desk and the cleaning lady that I couldn’t had her name.

    Unfortunately my bed had a hole in the middle which make it very uncomfortable and i had back pain the home time. My floor neighbors were very noise and pretty dirty, disgusting people. The bathroom was always left super clean by the staff and less then a day they had it all messed up and dirty. Guys where using the ladies bathroom and it was very difficult for me as girl to feel confortable. I felt so bad for the cleaning team

    Good location and private rooms

    Stairs kind of tight

    1ZhiruiPosted on: 9-8-2025

    It’s very noisy on the street and bedsheet wasn’t very clean, had some spots on it. Door was very tricky to lock from outside.

    7JessicaPosted on: 9-3-2025

    The location was quite good -- very central. It was easy to get around. The woman who worked there was very helpful. I really appreciated that she helped me carry my suitcase up the stairs. It was VERY close to public transport and that made it very convenient.

    The walls are a bit thin, so sometimes I felt like I was not living alone. The TV is not a "real" TV. They don't have channels or regular service. You have to have your own Netflix account (or other accounts) to be able to use it.

    In a fun neighborhood, yet very quiet. Reception was super responsive. Bathrooms were very clean, and I loved the bonus of a girls' bathroom on every floor. I’ll definitely visit again!

    That the room got a little too hot and the fan was not any good

    8IsabellaPosted on: 7-9-2025

    Perfect location, clean

    The room was so small and heated up really fast

    3chloePosted on: 6-21-2025

    Location

    No mirror in the roomWater kettle provided upon request, without the electric power socket at the table height for kettle, which i need to put the kettle on the floor when boiling water due to the short length of the kettle too. Bed is too softShower room and WC lighting are too dim

    7Tiago A.Posted on: 6-2-2025

    Amazing location in the heart of Lisbon, great sound proof windows, so it gets very silent during the night.

    Bathroom outside the room only, broken hair dryer, no reception available, only online.

    Location - ease of check in - friendly host - clean

    Great location and good rooms. Bed was comfy and I liked the personal family. It was good to drown out noise.from neighbors

    Lights didn't work in bathroom, some things we're broken, my room didn't have a trash bag, my door (32) doesn't latch
