We had a quiet floor with a private room which had a couple of big windows which made it nice and light. Staff were friendly and there was WiFi and free breakfast. For a hostel it was pretty good.

My one day at Vista de Lisboa
Vista de Lisboa is a good place, although the displayed picture shows to be in corner but is closer to ctt - it is closer to the Rossio square - easy to walk around through restaurant s and shops. Staff learning Portuguese and getting to know the area but managed to explain and help. Rooms and common areas clean, the balcony is small but still get fresh air and see the zone. Need to have a working table to pose a PC and type. Good breakfast, overall was a good stay.

Better choices available.
This Hostel is not as shown. On a little side street, up four floors, over crowded, locks that don't work and public areas that look like store rooms.

WOULD COME BACK
loved the location of this hostel, right in the middle of everything. staff were really friendly and breakfast was nicely set out. we upgraded to a private room which was definitely worth it. view was lovely and had a nice little chair and table in front of the large window. only thing which was a let down was the price was nearly doubled when we arrived for the shared room then what expedia had told us.. so we decided to upgrade to a private room for only a small fee.

Not bad
Great location close to public transport and main town. The bathroom floor was always wet which was a bit gross but our private twin room was nice and comfortable. Doors can be hard to get through from the stairs to the hallway of your room but he lift was quick and staff very helpful when I needed something printed and scanned for work. They only usually do boarding passes but made a special exception. Breakfast was average for gluten intolerant people. I highly advise taking your own bread to all buffet breakfasts. They do have a sandwich press! You have to wash your own dishes

Not what we expected..
We booked a private room with a balcony, however, the room didn't have a balcony. The private rooms are also on a separate floor/level from the actual hostel and reception area. The room is literally a bed and a fan and that's it. There were 4 bathrooms on the level, but 2 of them were being renovated and could not be used. Another one was out of order when we arrived, but it was fixed the next day. The bathrooms are cleaned early in the morning before most people have even used them and they are pretty much flooded with water all the time. There is nothing to dry your hands with in the bathrooms or even a toilet roll holder.. The rooms have nowhere to hang your towel. There was construction going on most of the time and the workers smoked inside the building right outside our room. We were sleeping one afternoon and heard someone trying to open the door and i yelled out, but he came in the room trying to check other people in! Instead of saying sorry and leaving, he asked me what room we were in so he could figure out where he was trying to check the people in to. The breakfast wasn't great, it was handy to have a bite to eat, but it is literally toast and jam or cheese, cornflakes and fruit. They did have a proper espresso machine which was good. They also sold beers, soft drinks, and water which was handy. The location was good though. We wouldn't stay here again..

The hostel is in a very good area of Lisbon....central to everything. However it is very noisy....if your room opens to the lobby...yes in the lobby, then forget trying to get any piece and quite during your stay....You can hear everything. The lobby is the central area of the hostel where the bathrooms are located as well...so it is a main traffic corridor with guests coming and going making all kinds of noise. Other than that it was ok to stay.

Good location and average facilities!
The location is great, at the center of Lisbon, the staff is helpful, and the hostel is open 24 hours. Our remarks go to the breakfast which was very simple and the share bathroom which cleanliness is not really at its best. All in all it is a value for money if the privacy (we had private room for quite low price) and location are your priority and you don't want to spend a lot.

So-so hostel
After staying here for 5 days we have mixed feelings about this hostel. On the plus side: the location is fantastic, close to everything; the staff is very pleasant and friendly; the front desk is open 24 hours; there is some breakfast; free WiFi; TV in the common room has English channels; toilets are clean and well maintained; the common room is big and has some books and maps; the atmosphere is nice and relaxed; generally speaking we had a great time in Lisbon, not least because this hostel was so conveniently located and because we had our own private room here. On the negative side: the weirdest thing is that the kitchen has no kitchen sink or faucet (!), so washing dishes or getting water requires going to the bathroom. They dedicated one of the 3 bathroom for dish-washing, so that the bathroom sink there is used for dishes and the toilet itself is closed, thankfully. The other 2 bathrooms are used for their direct purpose. The shower rooms were OK for a hostel but not the greatest or the cleanest, 1 of them was clogged regularly, although the other was OK. The breakfast was also merely OK: cheap bread, butter, peanut butter, 2 kinds of jam, apples, bananas, some cheap muffins, tea & coffee, milk. It's free and would definitely keep one from starving, but nothing fancy. The WiFi is free and usually adequate but stops working on occasion and/or doesn't reach the farthest rooms. Overall: this hostel is so-so, and I'm sorry to say that we won't stay there again.

Comfortable hostel
I stayed in a double room with shared bathroom for two nights. The hostel is on the fourth floor with lift. It is centrally located to tourist spots, metro stations and the River Tagus. Room was comfortable and clean, staff were friendly and approachable. I had no problems with the wi-fi. Breakfast was basic but sufficient for me.

Fizemos o check-in na segunda e ficamos até o dia 01 sem nenhum tipo de limpeza ou manutenção no quarto. Ficamos em uma suíte com quarto e banheiro individuais, precisamos pedir um ventilador na recepção no qual o funcionário hesitou em nos conceder. Fomos até a recepção solicitar a limpeza e retirada do lixo e disseram que só efetuariam a limpeza após o 3 dia . O que não ocorreu! O lugar é bem localizado e de super fácil acesso, porém a limpeza do lugar não é uma das coisas pontuais.

Es ist ein sehr zentral gelegenes Hostel! Es wird regelmäßig sauber gemacht und die Betten sind für kurze Reisen ausreichend! Natürlich sind die sanitären Anlagen durch den ständigen Gebrauch nicht durchgehend sauber, aber das ist wohl in keinem Hostel so. Das Personal ist total freundlich und hilfsbereit, ein Pluspunkt ist das kleine Frühstück. Die Auswahl ist klein (Käse, Nutella, Marmelade und Honig), aber ich es ist im Preis inbegriffen und der Kaffee ist sehr gut! Auf den Balkonen kann man rauchen. Für die im Winter Reisenden: Das Fenster ließ sich in unserem Zimmer nicht ganz schließen bzw. öffnete sich bei jedem Durchzug wieder. Für uns war das bei 39 Grad kein Problem, im Winter stelle ich mir das jedoch sehr kalt vor. Alles in allem ein gutes Hostel für Fortgeschrittene, aber auch für Anfänger geeignet mit Blick auf den bekannten Fahrstuhl!

Lage top, Rest enttäuschend
Die Werbefotos täuschen. Eine Wand hatte einen Wasserschaden von der Dusche auf der anderen Seite, unterm Bett war schon länger nicht mehr gesaugt worden, am Nebengebäude wurde gebaut so dass ab 7 Uhr morgens kein Schlaf mehr möglich war, mitten in der Nacht wurde lautstark der Schutz abgeholt. Das angebliche Deluxe Doppelzimmer hatte einfach nur das Badezimmer als Direktzugang. Ausser der Lage kann ich dieses Hostel nicht empfehlen.
