Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Location is not central — The hostel sits in the Benfica district, away from the historic center. Guests note it's not central, though it's convenient for the airport and metro access.
  • No kitchen available — While some rooms have kitchenettes with a fridge and kettle, the hostel does not offer a shared kitchen for guests, which may be a drawback for those planning to cook.
  • Potential language barrier — Some guests found that staff's English was limited, which could be a challenge for those who don't speak Portuguese.
  • Old building with quirks — The property is an older building, and guests should expect a few characterful imperfections rather than a polished, modern hotel experience.

“We appreciated being able to come and go as we liked. The neighborhood was great, and the staff were helpful and quick to respond to any concerns. The bed was comfortable , and despite being a budget option, it was the cheapest in the city.”

“The rooms were fantastic – each had a kitchenette with a fridge, and a kettle for making tea after exploring. The double room even had a tea/coffee maker, toaster, and a patio. Some rooms had garden views, which was a lovely touch. The amenities made our stay very comfortable.”

“Conveniently close to the airport and the mall. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the interior was clean and well decorated. The price was reasonable even in high season.”

5Verified guest

“I couldn't believe the value for money. The room was spacious and comfy, the toilet was decent, and despite some negative reviews, it was far from terrible. It's an old building with quirks, but the staff were friendly, even if their English was limited. It was nearly empty when I arrived, and I got a whole twin room to myself for the price of a single. The location isn't central, but it's lovely and very handy for catching a flight. Note that there's no kitchen – but it's a great find in a nice area with local restaurants nearby.”

5Verified guest

“For the price, I couldn't have asked for more. The room was cozy and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was nice and the atmosphere friendly. The staff were great and made us feel welcome, answering all our questions.”
