This hotel could have been a wonderful place but it was not! To enter the hotel alley you have to go through garbage bins. The roof top is closed and looks like it was a while ago and is definetly not on its way to reopen soon! The pool was was blurry green …meaning the pool is really not clean or chlorine enough. In the rooms there are patches on the walls. The rooms were « ok » regarding the cleanliness of the bed but the rest of the hotel was dirty and not well maintained. On Hotel.com this hotel gets a score of 8,6…for me this hotel should be scored at 4,0 we booked this hotel for the rooftop and pool and could not use any off those. I reco the hotel management to remove the pictures of the roof top on the website, otherwise this is misleading info.

For travelers looking for a well-maintained place to stay while you tour Lisbon, this is an amazing and very affordable place to stay. Just the basics - clean room, bed, bathroom, but very attractive courtyards and lounges to spend time in. Close to all major attractions, yet you get a good feel for living in a Lisbon neighborhood. For breakfast, I recommend \"Dear Breakfast\" just around the corner from the hotel.

Helpful and accommodating staff, and the location is very central and convenient. The room was cleaned daily, which we appreciated. However, the bathroom felt outdated and could have been maintained better — there was noticeable mold, dust, and cleanliness issues. The slow drain was especially frustrating during our stay. We also noticed that the toilet did not seem thoroughly cleaned from previous guests. It’s a good idea to bring your own disinfectant wipes or cleaning supplies.

Staff were nice and helpful. The pool unfortunately wasn’t clean so I didn’t let my kids swim in it. Room was pretty clean, cleaner came around daily I believe to freshen it up. We did run out of paper towel and they didn’t have any it was on order. There were random splashes on the walls that could probably be cleaned up. Beds were clean. Location great!

The perfect location with easy access to main sites and lots of lovely cafes around. We chose the deluxe room which was a great size and spacious. However, could do with having basic amenities in the room such as a kettle, water bottles etc and was very loud in the room with neighbouring construction. The shared bathrooms downstairs weren't the cleanest and could do with an upgrade. Unfortunately we were unable to access the patio on a few occasions due to it being locked (checked with staff who said it was opened).

The location is great, the front desk was friendly, there’s a spot to leave your luggage after check out, the courtyard is really cool. Unfortunately the rooms look a little rundown, at least ours was - you could see holes from different stages of its life still in place. The biggest drawback was that our shower didn’t seem to have been cleaned thoroughly, it had some debris on the floor and walls. Overall for the price we paid this was a good layover hotel for a couple nights

I stayed at Selina three years ago and had such a wonderful experience, which is why I chose to return this year. Unfortunately, this stay was really disappointing in comparison.

Although the hostel advertises itself as a social space, we were informed just the day before arrival that it is moving away from that concept. While that’s understandable, it would have been better to communicate this much earlier, as it was a big part of why we booked.

The check-in process was particularly frustrating. Before we arrived (the night before) I was informed the room we had booked wasn’t available. We were then placed in a room with no electricity, which clearly shouldn’t have been allocated to guests. After that, we were moved again to a completely different room than what we had originally booked. Eventually, we were finally given the correct room (2 nights into our stay), which was nice overall—but the constant moving around really impacted the our stay.

The most concerning issue, however, was that the hostel appears to have a bed bug problem, which made the stay quite uncomfortable and genuinely impacted my ability to relax on holiday.

To make up for the inconvenience, we were offered a free breakfast, but this was never actually provided.

Overall, it’s disappointing to see such a decline from what was once a great experience. I hope the management takes these issues seriously and makes improvements.

Consistently the best hostel chain I’ve stayed at; however be warned that in Lisbon they will not let you store your luggage (said the storage room is under construction). This was very difficult and unexpected in a hilly cobblestone city.

Room was clean and cute. I had private room with shared bath, and appreciated the small sink inside the room. Bathrooms were separate rooms from each other rather than stalls which was great. Rooftop bar is good and location in Lisbon is great - make sure you go to restaurants and bars on the small side streets after dark!

Very good place for a short stay in Lisbon. It is centrally located, in a nice area, close to many good shops, cafes, and beautiful sights. The only drawback is that rooms do not have air conditioning, which makes it a bit uncomfortable in the hot summer nights. Other than that, I think it is a good option.

Plus jamais

À plusieurs reprises j’ai réservé des chambres privé avec salle de bain privé dans des hostels de d’autres chaînes mais c’est la première fois que je suis déçue.

Premièrement le prix est trop élevé pour la qualité de l’hébergement. Le plancher est sale, il est gonflé suite à des dégâts d’eau, la porte est pourrie au bas, de la moisissure sur le cadrage et le mobilier très vieux.

Dans la douche il y a des produits pour le corps fourni mais c’est tellement douteux que je vous conseille d’apporter votre propre savon et shampooing (voir photo).

L’eau de la piscine semble sale, je ne me suis pas baignée, de toute manière il y avait tellement de monde qui buvaient, fêtaient, vapotait et fumaient dans la piscine que ça ne donnait pas le goût.

Pour le prix payé pour l’hébergement je me serais attendue à mieux, je suis consciente que c’est un hostel mais pour le futur je vais penser à deux fois avant de réserver la chaîne Selina.

This was such a beautiful and active property. The rooms were small, but had what you needed and were clean. My only concern was the shower drain was a little slow, and I loved that the power pressure was strong, but I was always afraid the shower would overflow, but it never did. I appreciated that there was an elevator so it’s nice if you have heavy luggage. It was a nice place to hang out, there was young people working on their laptops or sitting by the pool. The rooftop area was still under construction but it looks like it will be a great place to hang out once it’s ready. It was a nice view from up there. There was a community kitchen too. To come in to the hotel was our only struggle as sometimes cars are blocking the small alley street and its cobblestone just like everywhere else in the city. I honestly initially chose this place as I knew I didn’t want to struggle with all my luggage as most other places have no elevator and a lot of stairs. It made my life easier and on top of that was just a great place to stay. Also, they have cowork rooms and other amenities. So nice!

Nice for what it is

The place was very cute and it did have lots of nice features. However they drained the pool, and the rooftop bar was closed all of april. Something they didnt say nor write anywhere. It felt safe and clean, and although you cant have dinner there, the other food was good quality and a good selection of drinks. Overall Selina would be great if youre planing on spending most of your time in the city and just looking for a pretty nice place to sleep.

The shared bathrooms for the dorm rooms were small and cramped without any shelves to put toiletries in the shower and only one of the two in the area where I was staying had a hook on the door. They need more hooks for clothes, towels, etc., as well as a shelf in the shower. Other guests broke the hooks on the wall in the shared room I was in on my first day there, but it was repaired in about 24 hours. Hotels.com does not mention that the coworking space is an extra €10/day if you want to use that room, which was frustrating because it was part of why I chose the hotel. The pool could use a cleaning, as there were piles of dirt/sand on the bottom in the corners.
