Very basic, the bathrooms were 'foggy', the staff was nice, but not well informed about things to do/see - or how to get tickets or which stations serve which directions. Since we were there in winter time, it wasnt that warm in the rooms though. As i said it was basic, not a fancy hostel. Just to sleep. I didnt see there a common room. MAybe there was... somehow hidden.

I'm generally satisfied with this hostel. The price was worth it, the location was pretty convenient, the breakfast was decent and we had like two supermarkets nearby. However, I must say that this hostel should be renewed, I'm utterly sure that Van Gogh spent one night in our room. There was a lack of lockers so we had to leave our belongings right on our bed. No pots, no fry pans in the kitchen, so even making a pasta can be quite difficult. The staff was in general terms, unfriendly, with the exception of the Portuguese girl, who was simply awesome. Also, I forget, the hostel was sometimes really noisy, people slamming the door, yelling... besides, our room was next to the street, and the streetcar was passing by really frequently, so yo guys can imagine. Men's restroom was super uncomfortable, basically, no privacy to do your stuff there. I tried to, sorry, take a shit there, and I just couldn't do it because I could hear the guy next to me making effort to take his stuff out of him. One advice, there's a restroom on the third floor, scarcely occupied. Despite all the things I mentioned, the hostel was ok. But I think that there are better hostels in Lisbon for the same price.

Located only a 5 minute walk from Picoas metro station. Friendly staff, the rooms are cleaned every day. The beds are comfortable. Rich breakfast buffet. Nice and clean kitchen for cooking dinner after a long day. I will definitely stay at this hostel again! The prices are justified. So don't hesitate and book your room at this hostel :)

Best hostel, I have ever stayed in!! It's a fairly new hostel in a beautiful old building on Avenida de Liberdade, one of the most important streets in Lisbon. You need 3 minutes walking to the city center and 10 minutes walking to Bairro Alto, the party area. The hostel is run by a really kind and warm-hearted Brazilian family and their friends. There are at least two-three young staff members (in addition to the normal staff) who are only there to entertain you. They organize pub crawls, karaoke, table soccer tournaments and so on. The hostel is very clean and big. The kitchen is really great and fully equipped. The living room is beautiful and offers space to at least 30 persons... there is a big TV, a table soccer, nice couches and so on. Perfect!

Unfortunately the place was overbooked. So we had to change the place... not a big deal, but the way, how it was organised, was very unprofessional. First we came there and it was too loud. Not caused by the guests, but the loudspeakers at the reception desk prevented any normal conversation. Due to our booking problem they decided to turn off the music at least. Afterwards they made some strange excuses: First it was just the website which caused these incidences, then they said the place will be closed anyway, then they said something about the police as well. After all that I just wanted to get my reservation fee back. Not more... so just 20€ or something. That wasn't possible for 3 days. I always had to go there to say: Where is my money?! After the third day, we finally got our money in an envelope with some more excuses. For us, this place didn't work out!
