A good placefor the travelers whose want to search low price accommodation. Very comfortable, clean and safe. In the main hall there is a amazing view to the Tajo river and 25th April bridge. Near the place you can enjoy all the space that the city could to offer you: train station, parks, supermarkets, historical neighborhood of Barrio Alto and more.

Really enjoy my stay here. This place has good interior, gets good cleaning every morning, staff is really friendly and nice. The only issue is music from nearby clubs on Friday and Saturday
Ita one of the best maintaiend hostels I have seen in a while. Super clean and gives you a good feel of being at home. Spacious alley area to walk. They provide lockers to store imp stuff (refundable fee of 5). The kitchen is super clean and spacious. ( you can not cook btw 14-19 hrs and 23-7 hrs , for cleaning and noise purposes for other guests) A common area is cool..with a view of the see from the balcony. They have in total of 2 washrooms. Something that might get a little bit tight in the wee hours. One downside - its on the 3rd floor - carrying heavy bags up the 53 steps can get hard. But trust me thats totally worth it. Public transport is close by. Super market and subway(resturant) are just behind the corner.
I chose this place because it didn't require credit cards, but on check-in there actually were some minor problems resulting from unavailable credit card data. Facilities are clean and spacious. Lockers are available for personal belongings, but there is no possibility of hanging the clothes. Lighting is dim, and on top of that mirrors are placed in the most shady spots. There are only two bathrooms, and that can be a problem on the "rush" hours. A spacious common area has fast Internet, but way too often it is frequented by individuals who urgently need to suck on cigarettes. The staff is friendly and helpful though. Entrance door is always open, which may cause concerns about the security of belongings, but on the other hand the hostel is located on the top floor of an old building with narrow wooden stairs, so accidental thieves will hardly occur there. The place is within the walking distance to the subway. There is a substantial noise from the busy street, as well as two night-clubs with poor soundproofing, which treat the neighbourhood to the Neanderthal music all night.
Cais do Sodre is the nearest metro station, at a walking distance of 15-17 minutes, while buses and trams on either side ply regularly. Bus-stop is Santos velho. The waterfront is very close by, and is visible from the hostel floor as well, which makes for a nice sunny views, or cold rainy/foggy ones, whichever you enjoy. The neighborhood has plenty of clubs around for the more electronic/dance music lovers and party goers will likely be satisfied.
Bedbugs.. After a few days of stay I started noticing in the bed some small black stains that happens when you roll and kill small insects under the cover. I explained the situation to the reception and they didn't care. After another night I confirmed with pictures that it was bedbugs. They moved me in another bed but the place was infested. I asked for a refund, and while I got it for the remaining nights they made me pay for the current night where I didn't touch the bed and tried to blame me for started the infestation. Just an awful experience. Place is a good position though. As if that matters.
Bedbugs! Stay away! A friend and I stayed at this hostel and on the 2nd night we discovered bedbugs in our bed. We raised the issue with the staff and they told us it's not their fault, that the the whole city is infested and that the bedbugs were "brought in by the hippies". They promised to clean the entire room and our stuff during the day with a high temperature vapor machine. We were out late and upon returning to our room the bedbugs were everywhere (bed, pillows, walls, etc). We left as early as possible without getting any sleep and requested a refund for the night and the drycleaning expenses for our stuff. We were told they only had 15 EUR cash in the register to refund us and the rest will be sent to us by bank transfer if we sent an email with our info. I have since sent my bank details and multiple reminder emails that have never been answered and I never recieved a refund. Terrible experience!
