The staff here we're incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. We had a really great stay, great breakfast, comfortable clean rooms and a safe feeling with easy check in/check out and ability to store our bags before/after check in/out times which was so helpful. It is a busy, noisy neighborhood into the evening but absolutely perfect for easy walking and metro access in Lisbon.

Such a lovely staff! The location is great. We were there during a heatwave on the third floor. It was a bit loud with the windows open (but such a lovely ambiance). It was too hot to have the windows closed.

세상에서 제일 답답한 숙소

계단에 있는 방인데 소리가 너무 시끄러워서 잠을 깊이 잘 수 없었음
수건 안 갈아줌. 리셉션에 가서 새 수건 달라고 요청했는데, 나중에 주겠다고 해놓고 안 줍니다. 6시만 되면 리셉션이 퇴근하고, 메일로 연락해도 답장을 안 합니다.

Staff were great, and breakfast was pretty good too! Great location, but I'd only advise if you are fit and able. Lots of stairs and steep roads around. Room was great, bed good and clean. The shared bathroom was ok too.

Some noise but nothing some ear plugs couldn't solve.

Weather was mid 20s and did not have issues with it at night. Just keep the shutter closed during the day!

The room and bathroom were clean.
The staff were friendly but not professional. I asked about the area and restaurants, but they couldn’t answer anything.
This hostel is on the street where there are restaurants and bars, so it’s so noisy until late night.

Clean and friendly hostel

Cleanliness: 100%

The cleanliness at the hostel is excellent.

However, the breakfast is very limited. Instead of a buffet, two staff members will prepare a breakfast plate for you; that’s it. It’s important not to set high expectations for the breakfast.

It would be great if there were closets in the rooms to store bags and hang clothes.

Overall, a clean and well-maintained hostel, though improvements in the breakfast offering and room amenities like closets would be appreciated.

Fabulous! Location was bang on, walked out at night right into the hottest spot in town. The team are Irish/American and all so friendly. The breakfast was next level, really big portions and great variety made to order. Free coffee machine all day and shared kitchen space. Only downside was not enough furniture/storage space in the room but amazing value. Highly recommend

Great location to walk everywhere. It was my first time staying in a hostel/guesthouse and I was pleasantly surprised. It is very noisy at night, however, once I closed the window and turned on the fan, it did not bother me. Very nice breakfast is available in he mornings with coffee/tea machine and water. I was worried about sharing a bathroom, but they were clean and they were always open, I never had to wait.

Great breakfast & Location!

I arrived in the dark and it was a little hard to find because there is no obvious signage. I had to ask for help at a local restaurant. Also - Ubers cannot access the streets around the hostel so you might have to walk and it’s challenging with cobbled streets and luggage. The location is great and breakfast is fantastic. I had a private room but it was hard to relax or sleep in because the cleaning staff were VERY loud. The other guests were older and kept to themselves. Overall good value.

Bring earplugs!

The property was well maintained and had very friendly staff in a convenient area.

However, it is situated on a very lively road and the rooms are not well insulated from the sound outside (or the sounds inside the hostel). Along with this our room was in the main hall so we could hear guests entering and exiting the hostel during the night as well as breakfast being prepared in the morning.

DO NOT STAY IN ROOM 102

If you stay at this hostel, ask not to be put in room 102. It’s right above a nightclub, just off the stairs, and right in front of the kitchen. We didn’t sleep a wink because of the noise and we felt it was so unfair that this room was the same price as others. We know barrio alto is a party area,but the noise levels were ridiculous. I wrote to them privately with this feedback over a month ago but they never wrote back. The management are obviously just hungry for money and don’t care about guest satisfaction. A real pity. My advice : pay a bit more to stay somewhere else.

I start by saying that all the members of staff were very friendly and helpful!

The location is super convenient, a few minutes away from Baixa-Chiado metro station and at walking distance from the shore. The property, being in the centre of Bairro Alto, is pleasantly exposed to lots of evening/night venues but, unpleasantly, also to quite an intense level of noise during the weekend until late night, though I've easily managed to sleep.

Breakfast was included, sort of international, I joined only once because of the limited options and because the coffee was quite bad in my opinion alongside the jam. Not a problem as the city offers plenty of coffee places where you can taste one of the myriad local pastries.

The room was described to me as \"minimal\" by one member of staff but I reckon that it was just shabby and lacking of essential elements, such as a bedside table and a reading lamp, especially because it was advertised as a twin room. There was visible accumulated dust on the exposed multiple power socket.
On the other hand, the bedding seemed clean and tidy.

Two bathrooms were available on my floor (last). One of them very small with a too tiny sink, the other, bigger in room size and sink, often had a sewage smell. Not the most elegant or looked after bathroom facilities.

Some of the the negatives above can be fixed, I'd suggest to work on those as the staff is lovely and the position ideal :)

Thanks.

除了地點其他都差強人意

旅館位在上城區裡，地理位置極佳，著名景點都可以步行到達，非常方便。但是這裡街道到處都是酒吧，晚上噪音特別大，上坡下坡也非常不方便拖著大件行李來投宿，旅人需要做好氣喘吁吁的心理準備。不適合拖著行李步行，即使鄰近地鐵站，但是人行道坡度落差非常大，且全是石頭鋪成的不平整路面。

旅館是一棟非常老舊的建築，沒有電梯、樓梯和房間木頭地板走路都會發出聲響，整棟建築沒有空調，但所幸八月的里斯本入夜之後非常涼爽。旅館提供的早餐是工作人員幫你準備好的，但是咖啡機24小時免費提供旅客使用，也有共用廚房和冰箱開放住客使用。接待櫃檯的時間不是固定的，入住前或者寄放行李要特別確認櫃檯時間，以免撲空。

O local é bem limpo, o banheiro estava muito limpo, a cama estava perfeita, confortável. O café da manhã estava impecável, diverso e gostoso. Apenas o quarto é quente pois a janela abre pouco e o ventilador de teto é eficiente mas como a janela não abre direito fica abafado. O check in foi muito fácil e a noite na região é bem animada, tem barulho mas é uma região central, vale a pena a estadia, voltaria.

No hemos podido descansar absolutamente nada. Por la tarde, todo el mundo haciendo ruido y dando voces en los pasillos y en el comedor, y por la noche ha sido completamente imposible dormir con el ruido de todos los bares y garitos de fiesta de la calle a la que daba nuestra habitación. No entiendo cómo es posible que tengáis esta habitación en uso sabiendo el ruido que hay. Me parece una vergüenza. Es absolutamente IMPOSIBLE DESCANSAR. Desde luego, ha sido el peor alojamiento en el que hemos estado jamás y no lo recomendamos para nada. Por otra parte, instalaciones viejas, suelo y puertas ruidosas... Tuvimos que pagar otro hotel tras la primera noche para poder descansar. Todo mal. No merece nada la pena alojarse en esas condiciones. Por el mismo precio, tienes alojamientos mucho mejores a 15 minutos caminando.

Central stay in Lisbon

Solo room with shared bathroom.
I stayed in two different rooms as I cut my stay in two. One was bigger that the other one, but globally good and clean.
Area a bit noisy at nigh because of being the night district, but on the 4th floor, noise is softer.
Excellent breakfast.
You have to be on time for the check in otherwise you wont be able to get your room.
Excellent location close to everything.
