    This is a very good hostel in one of the best areas of Lisbon, Portugal, directly on Avenida da Liberdade, the Fifth Avenue of Lisbon. I stayed here for 15 nights in 2019 and later in the year a second time for 5 nights and each time found this hostel quiet, clean and comfortable. A free breakfast is included, but it’s limited to orange drink, breads, butter, confiture, cheese and slices of ham, plus coffee or tea (but no eggs). NLC Hostel is very reasonably priced. Reservations are easily made online and you can pay in full on arrival and when checking in. Credit and debit cards are accepted. The young staff are efficient, pleasant and helpful. This hostel is on the third floor of a prewar luxury building on Avenidada Liberdade. Within a minute or two walking in either direction you will find many exclusive designer clothing and jewelry shops. You must push a button next to the front door to be buzzed inside. The door is very heavy and somewhat difficult to push open. The old elevator works. The nearest Lisboa Metro stop is Avenida, several hundred feet away, so it is easy to get to or from the Lisboa airport. I have stayed here several times and would not hesitate to do so again. It is easily affordable, the staff are helpful and friendly, the place is very clean, and the kitchen is well equipped.

    The room was pretty cool and confortable. Each bed has their own plug (so you can charge ur phone) and your own light. The only thing that wasn't great was the washroom... it was very crowded so it was a little bit hard to get ready! Other than that it was great!

    Very friendly staff. You feel welcome. Rooms are clean but a bit noisy. However, you can't hear any street noise. Bathrooms are clean too. Kitchen also has everything you need for cooking. The rags could be changed more often or you could bring your own. Breakfast is very poor.

    Staff was pretty friendly. The room I stayed in was deathly hot all night and the fans are almost non existent. Location was good however and desk is open 24/7. Other facilities were also good. Free breakfast was a plus.

    There are pro's and con's for this hostel, and as a whole I don't recommend this hostel to my friend. pro's -quiet most of the time -nice area close next to the park -classic old building and elevator -not packed with noisy school kids -reasonably clean -nice street view from the window con's -bed is closed and inside is hot and humid -hostel staff here are unfriendly and sometimes very rude -there is not enough space to keep a big luggage -public space is a bit too small -internet connection is quite weak and sometimes totally cut-off -not enough space to keep your food in the fridge or anywhere -from bedroom to wash stand is far and it takes time to walk to access water -kitchen is pretty small and there is only one table there Most of all, what I did not like about this hostel the most was the staff(black female one, usually sitting in reception)'s unfriendly(even rude) and unprofessional manner. She has no hospitality to customers and she always chat with her friends. When I do work in the living room, she was noisy talking with her friends and don't mind a customer think about her annoying. If the owner of this hostel see my post, you should rethink about her employment. And this is my evaluation of this hostel, thank you.

    I enjoyed my time at this hostel. The service was good enough and the breakfast they offered was more than acceptable. The showers we're good enough, great temperature and water pressure. I met some nice people here and the staff did their best to give me some recommendations.

    Really central location (3 minutes to Avenida metro station), clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, hot water in the showers, and a decent breakfast spread. My only complaint was that the beds didn't have any curtains you could draw, but other than that, it was brilliant!

    Overall a decent Hostel to stay for a few nights. It's geared more for people who don't mind being further from the action and taking a very short Metro ride (5-10 minutes) to the rest of the sites. The area is safe and clean, a bit chix-chix with high end shops on the main avenue. Didn't find a social atmosphere there. Staff are very nice and mostly accommodating. They never have me any of their names or introduced themselves at any point in my 4 nights there, but they always said hello and goodbye with a smile. And always happy to give advice on sites to see, nous if transport etc. Only real criticism is they do nothing to admonish loud and unruly guests coming in at 5am. And they allow smoking on the front balcony, but leave the doors wide open so the smoke just blows back into the entire hostel into every room. When I asked to choose the balcony door, they said they couldn't cuz they needed to heat the front door bell. Facilities are nice and new. They are cleaned several times a day. The beds make a minimal amount of noise as you get in and out. The little USB fans require your own adapter but if you don't have one ask the staff for one. The bright white lamps are great in the morning or early evening, but overkill at night once people go to sleep as it's way too bright to not disturb everyone else in the room. Storage lockers are complimentary with locks under the bed which is nice. Curtains for privacy would be great as other Lisbon hostels have that. Breakfast is ok, jam, peanut butter, Nutella, and a variety of fresh beads and croissants. Coffee is fresh and they have orange juice and a few different teas. There's also cereal and milk. Some people complain about the need to get buzzed into the building, but I didn't have to wait long anytime I came back. So didn't consider it an issue. Only thing is you can't hear anything the receptionist says through the front speaker. It's just a cackle. I'd stay here again as the price was ok for what you get. Nothing exceptional compared to the other 50+ hostels I've stayed in across the world.

    Stuff is very friendly and helpful. I missed some hooks and hangers in my bed area so I didn't have to open locker under my bed every time. It was a bit too hot during night, but the rest of it was ok. Cleanliness was alright, but that depends more of guests than stuff, and they were doing their best to keep it clean.

    Nice location the staff all are great and the owner are all just like friends I stayed there a lot at my early arrival to Lisbon . The place was new and clean . But now they need to pay attention to replace some items in toilets showers . The place is located on liberdade and close to Marques Pompal and only 5 minutes to down town . Normally the rate include breakfast .

    A cool hostel, with comfortable rooms, a helpful staff and very convenient location. The hostel isn't very big, and doesn't have a bar. Overall, I recommend.
