Room was clean and staff were super helpful. The rooms are a little outdated but more than ok. For the price we had out doubts but it was great. Defo recommend for short stays!! Its in an ideal place, close walking distance for all the touristy things.

Only downside is there is no air con and the rooms are close to a busy street so its a bit noisy but nothing the guest house peeps can do anything about - BYO ear plugs :)

Exposed, unsafe electrical connections in room, loose toilet seat, loose shower head, missing/broken window replaced with masonite or cardboard, bathroom shelf loose and \"wobbly\", shower so small that any movement risks contact with the faucet which results in scalding water burn ... only two mismatched hangers look like they were found rather than bought, shower drains painfully slowly ... we ended up with ankle deep water.

The room was quite simple, featuring only a bed, closet, and an ensuite shower and sink. Given the building’s age, don’t anticipate a modern room, but it did match the charm of old town Lisbon. It was clean, comfortable, and the staff were accommodating. The location is fantastic for central Lisbon, with lots of local sights, bars and restaurants on the doorstep. The one issue is noise from the street below both late at night and early in the morning, though earplugs resolved that. Overall recommended based on location and price.

The room was ok for the price, but the bathroom door does not open completely and has a stopper just short of the sink. There was also and odd musty smell throughout the room.

My biggest issue was that the AC did not function, so for 2 nights i was unable to sleep. I told the front desk and he was nice enough about it, but nobody was called to repair the AC, but a tiny fan was given. However you could not feel any air further than 1 inch away.

It was a rough stay, i could stay there during the winter months, but never the summer

The hotel has a few strong points, but overall the stay was mixed. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable, the shower had excellent water pressure, and the room was very clean. The location is also excellent and puts you right in the middle of restaurants, bars, and city life.

Unfortunately, that same location becomes a major downside. The area stays extremely busy late into the night, with loud crowds, street noise, and sirens continuing well past midnight. The hotel’s noise insulation is very poor, so you hear everything both from the street and from inside the building. To make matters worse, there is nearby construction that starts around 7:30 a.m., even on Saturdays, making it difficult to rest. Once the construction slows down, the nightlife noise takes over again. It felt like the city was running a 24-hour percussion concert directly outside the window 🎺🚧

The hotel itself also seems to be in poor condition, with visible issues such as mouldy ceilings. The room was extremely basic, offering only the bare minimum, including a single power outlet. The small TV, around 14 inches, was mounted very high, facing the door instead of the bed, which made it awkward to use.

If you are a very heavy sleeper and only care about location, it may work for you. Otherwise, expect noise and a fairly worn-down property.

My stay was OK. I knew I was booking budget friendly accommodations, so I wasn't expecting a 5-star experience, but the most challenging thing about my stay was that the window shutter wouldn't close because I think it is broken (room 206) and the street noise below was quite loud (especially the metal plate clunking when cars drove by) I requested a room change, but the front desk staff was not helpful. All the other aspects of the stay were fine, but you should get the window shutter fixed, and see if there's something that can be done about that metal plate on the road that cars drive over throughout the night.

The location of the hotel is great, handy to metro, tram and a 10minute walk to the airport bus. The room is basic, but reasonable clean. There is a lift, so no problem if you have heavy bags.

If you are into wines, the wine shop is amazing, with friendly helpful staff.

Very clean and comfortable bed. I paid what I get for a 2 star guesthouse. Will not complain for such a great location and space and I have a private bathroom for this price. Only problem is I get 1 small pack of shampoo per stay, no matter how many nights. Supermarket is 5 mins away for all toiletries. Thank you I have a great stay in Lisbon.

Amazing location for the price!! Don’t stay here if you’re looking for anything fancy. The room is very simple but clean! The location is amazing!!! Close to the praça comércio and praça figueiro. Also about a 9 min walk to where all of the tours leaving Lisbon pick up. So many restaurants and stores nearby.

Très bien situé. La bagagerie permet de visiter la ville dès notre arrivée sans être encombré de nos bagages. Peu insonorisé si vous êtes côté rue et qu'il y a des travaux. Les prestations correspondent aux prix payés.

This is the worst place I have ever stayed at in my whole life. The smell of mould and urine in the room and as you approach it is absolutely unbearable, especially if you have allergies. The room looks nothing like the pictures, there is no staff working at the reception except from the hours of 11:00 and 19:00, which is bizzarre to me. Me and my mum arrived in Lisbon at around 23:30 and had to get an Uber to another hotel to get the key and all the information to check in. We were then told the guesthouse was just around the corner but it was raining, dark, we had loads of bags, the streets were not good for rolling bags with wheels, we had no internet access and it didn’t feel safe for two women who didn’t know the area. We eventually decided to call another Uber to take us to the guesthouse and we noticed we were walking away from the property. We got there maybe around 00:30 and straight away we knew we couldn’t stay there but it was too late in the evening and we were too tired to do anything so we slept there the first night. Next day my mum woke up with her swollen of allergies, how can you rent a place like that? We moved to another hotel, not too far away, after talking to the receptionist Gonçalo about how we felt and never heard back from customer service. I asked about getting my money back, didn’t get an answer, and I asked about getting my tourist tax back because we had to pay again at the next hotel and also didn’t get an answer. DO NOT GO HERE!

Location is very good. The room was very bare-bones, no TV, and at one point the floor felt unstable. In addition, there was only one socket, which is a bit ridiculous. Even worse, it was in the bathroom, which isn't safe.

161 Norte sits in a fantastic part of Lisbon, and for a quick pre-flight stopover, it gets the job done. The price and location are genuinely hard to argue with for budget travelers passing through.
That said, there are a few things worth knowing before you book. There's no front desk staff after 7pm — something I only discovered after arriving late and having to haul my luggage several blocks on my own. It also created an awkward situation on my way out when another guest was waiting outside hoping to check in with no one around to help them.
The rooms are small, the bathrooms are shared, and cleanliness left something to be desired. For an overnight pit stop it's manageable, but I wouldn't want to stay longer than a night or two.
Bottom line: if you're just passing through, need a budget option, and don't mind a no-frills setup, it works. Just go in with the right expectations.

For the price, this place was great. An amazing location & clean bed.

I had no issues with noise and the shared bathroom wasn't as inconvenient as I thought it would be as you still have a private sink and shower.

There are no vents so all the steam from the shower condensed against the window and made water droplets.

Front desk staff not the friendliest, limited attendance, you get a door code to access the property.No paper maps of the city. Room was clean, in my room a shelf that is close to the bed and I really hit my head hard one day. No a/c, but small balcony and with open doors (5th floor)there was always a breeze. The cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. Room w shower, bathroom down the hall.In that bathroom a hairdyer, an odd place for it, that didn't matter, it didn't work. Close to the centre, lost of cafes and restaurants around. Metro nearby.

Disgusting, don’t book. Read review.

Horrible experience! Don’t listen to bot reviews. Booked the most expensive room and walked into a room that smelled like curry (from Ghadhi Palace), and septic from attached bathrooms. So gross, stayed one night and woke up to 3 mosquito bites on my arm and a nasty yellowish, swollen spider bite on my wife’s. Stayed second night at another hotel. Not sure how to submit a chargeback on my CC.

Simple, but does the job. Excellent location!

The hotel is simple but serves its purpose. The only notable downside was the lack of a mirror in the room, which was inconvenient for my girlfriend (it really makes a difference for them). Additionally, a shower enclosure instead of a curtain would be a nice improvement, as water did tend to spill outside the cubicle, though this wasn’t a major issue. Overall, I’d consider staying again for the excellent location, which is a standout feature!

Basic

If you're looking for a basic central location and a bed, this will do. The room had only a single wall outlet, the other one was six feet up the wall for the tv. Its a very noisy building, you can hear conversations like they're next to you. The toiletries they give out are pointless. The bar a soap was a few millimeters thick. One quick hand wash and its used up.
Overall, this establishment is just a bed to crash on for a night or two. For anything longer than that, stay elsewhere.

Stay Elsewhere

The primary things good about the hotel was the great location and comfortable bed. Not much else was good though. The wifi was very slow or didn't work at all which is a big deal, the shower was tiny and enclosed on two sides by a smelly, mildewed shower curtain - so there was no room to take a shower without coming in contact with the smelly shower curtain and water got all over the floor, and the only time someone was in the office was between 11am and 7pm - so, most people (including me) would be gone by the time someone came in and would not return until after they left for the day.

This property is really old and although it was clean, there was a strange smell in my room I couldn’t get past. The room had no ac or heater and it felt damp/humid. My sheets always felt damp as if they hadn’t properly dried before they put them on. Aside from that; the bed was comfortable and clean, the room was clean, check in and out was easy. The location is really the selling point especially for the price.

Pros- excellent location (near many attractions, restaurants, taxi pick-up, etc.)
-clean
-excellent price for where it’s located

Cons- noisy at night (primarily garbage trucks etc. at 4:00 AM as opposed to crowd noise)
- strange bathroom setup. I’m a tall guy (6’2”) and it was very difficult to use the shower. I can’t even describe the strange floor to the shower (I wish I took a pic). There was like a little faucet sticking out at the bottom that I constantly banged my heel into, plus the area to stand was so small you stood over the drain blocking it (there were like different levels to the shower floor but you could only really stand on one of them, weird!)
-no hangers in the closet
-no real ventilation (it rained one day I was in Lisbon and my cloths were soaked. After two days hanging in my hotel room they were still wet). A small portable fan would have been a godsend.

Would I be willing to stay there again? Probably, but I would definitely check to see what else available too.
