Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Shower and bathtub only in triple room — The Triple Room is the only option with a bathtub and shower listed; other rooms do not specify a private bathroom, so shared facilities may be the norm for many stays.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:00, which may be inconvenient for arrivals outside these hours.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • No parking on site — No parking facilities are listed, which could be a drawback for those driving to Lisbon.
  • Mixed reviews on some aspects — A few guests rated the hostel lower, mentioning drawbacks without detail, so individual experiences may vary.
