Crowded 12 people in a room and one bathroom. Guy next to me made noise most of the night. Only one pillow and not very thick. Room was hot with a single pedestal fan. Sweat while sleeping.

They weren't nice at all. I had paid the tax of 4€ directly in Expedia and they charged me again when I arrived, so be careful with this. Also in its home page says the check out it's before noon but when you arrive they say it's before 11 am. I paid for an only woman room and I got a mix room. The staff were rude and not empathetic. There’s no dryer in bathrooms. It's so noisy, dirty and old so you better choose another one.

The beds are very old and very squeaky, couldn’t sleep, because whenever someone moved, it sounded like the bed was about to fall. The staff was amazing and the location very central, walkable but with hundreds of stairs, but that’s Lisbon!

The hostel was under renovation with all the hullabaloo that comes with that. No mention of that before booking. Good location.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I stayed there 11 days and should say that place is cheap , but noisy due to train station in neighbourhood. As well it is hard to stay in 14 or 8 dorms room due to high people traffic (at nights as well). Hostel is placed in old town center, so dining out is pretty expencive and there are no big supermarkets nearby.

Cheap, good location, excellent service

Very nice place for Backpackers and any traveler, it's easy to meet new people there and have fun. Good bre2for 3 euros, and they care about their guests, if there is something wrong, they will fix it on the spot. All the receptionists were extremely friendly and helpful with any tips you would want to know about, plus it was the cheapest hostel and so close to the city, truly an excellent choice.

Not for me

I wish people would be more honest in their reviews so that you aren’t surprised when you land. It is true the hostel is close to the busy old town area, HOWEVER to get there requires a hike of epic proportions. And then additional stairs when you get to location and then more stairs when you get to your room. The place is old there’s nothing they can do about it. Why they chose to renovate during the busy summer season is beyond me but alas I can’t imagine that they can keep the facilities clean enough with majority of showers now working. There’s no atmosphere at all and they do try with cheap drinks but it’s just not the vibe here. I wouldn’t ever stay here again- hostels have evolved far beyond this place.

Not my favorite hostel

Didn’t have the best stay. Only a few showers available in the whole hostel due to maintenance. WiFi only good in the lobby. Staff mildly helpful. Decent location. Would recommend staying elsewhere.
