Hostels in Lisbon District, Portugal

"Here is a short and professional review in English: A remarkable 3 night stay at Lisboa Central Hostel The staff is exceptional, providing top-notch service and excellent local guidance. A huge thank you to Louana, Tristia, and the rest of the team for their warmth and professionalism. Highly recommended"

"The hostel is located in the best location that basically everywhere is walkable. You can also take bus and metro nearby conveniently if you need to go to the outskirt of town. The room is spacious and they even have a little balcony so that some fresh air comes in and you can enjoy the view. The staff is super helpful and friendly. It would be perfect if they have laundry and pantry."

"Very comfortable and clean. Free coffee in the lobby, such a wonderful thing! Many bathrooms available so there is never a wait. All the bathrooms very clean, cleaned often. Small kitchen area on the floor with microwave, refrigerator, and a few dishes. Very helpful! Great location a block from the metro, many restaurant nearby as well."

"The room with bathroom inside the room with balcony. No curtains on the beds, the light can bother, no privacy. There is elevator, no problems with luggage. There is a kitchen, but is closed in the night time. The staff was very friendly and helpful."

"The location was great, and the entrance and common areas were clean. You can borrow hair dryers and kettles from the entrance. Also, unusually for a hostel, bath towels are provided free of charge. Here are the things that bothered me: In the 6-person room, it was inconvenient that the bathroom and toilet weren't separate. There's no separate bathroom outside the room, so you should expect waiting times. When I arrived, both elevators weren't working, and I had to carry heavy luggage up to the 4th floor via the stairs. Beds are not assigned in advance. I checked in around 10 PM, and only one top bunk was available, and there was a clearly used bath towel on it. The bedding was also a bit messy. Since you get your own bath towel at the front desk when checking in, I assume someone in the same room moved to a bottom bunk. Because there's no assignment, it makes moving around possible. I ended up having to sleep on an uncleaned bed, but I didn't have the energy to go up and down the stairs to the 4th floor again, so I just gave up. While you could say I just had bad luck, it's something that could happen again due to the system."

"Everything was great – the location is very convenient, close to the train station, making it easy to get around and walk to attractions. The staff were also very friendly. The only drawback was that the shower kept automatically shutting off, so I had to keep pressing the button while showering, which was a bit inconvenient. The common area and rooftop cafe were also very nice."

"Good location near metro and tram station with convenient access to all places of interest.Room and bedsheets are clean and locker is large enough to store your belongings.Room opens to a balcony and room ventilation is good. Kitchen facilities are adequately provided. Toiletries are also provided but not towels. Hostel has been renovated so everything is new. Highly recommended."

"Good service, convenient transportation, and convenient shared kitchen."

"On a busy street, it’s not very quiet, but you can wear earplugs. Your experience depends on the other travelers, of course, if they are considerate. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The reason I like this place is because it has a lot of character. It’s a turn-of-the-last century, 1890s palace, with very fancy ceilings, parquet wooden floors, and a marble floor lobby. It’s a real palace, one of many in Portugal! In 1914 it was rented to the Swiss Ambassador of Portugal. Although the place is quite dated now, it still has a lot of class. If you have a little more money, you can rent a small suite, higher up and quieter, also with credit card points (free or almost ). Unfortunately the internet only works in the lobby if you have a mobile phone. It seems to work fine for iPads and computers, strangely enough. It has a kitchen and washer / dryer. The fridge is old-style retro, as well as the deco in the whole hotel / hostel. (small fridge, but it does have a small freezer, too.) The place has a restaurant, which is popular. If you eat a large breakfast you can include it with your rent, it costs about 9€ (I don’t , so the kitchen was fine – modern electric stove top, microwave – no oven!) The top bunk of a three-tiered system is fairly safe, as it has steps, instead of ladder rungs. It has wooden lockers (bring your own lock) and small boxes, hidden in the stairs at every bed level. Not for the faint of heart or those afraid of heights… or those who can’t do stairs. Two flights of stairs up! Shared rooms on first and second floors, kitchen is on the first. No elevator to the shared rooms, unlike the suites."
