    Portable AC is very loud but effective. Really nice staff that allowed us to leave our baggage there even though we hadn't been staying there for a few days while in Porto. 1 euro beers during promos. Breakfast is fine. Quiet hostel, not many loud groups or anything.

    Noisy hostel. Especially if you have room by the elevator. The staff was not friendly. I had to pay beforehand. Futhermore I asked for a good restaueant with live fadomusic. They directed me to a reataurant from the same owner with no live music.

    The Hostel4U hostel in Lisbon is a great place if you are looking for somewhere to crash for a really good price. On the other hand, this place is missing many of the classic hostel features that we were looking for, specifically the community of other travellers looking to meet up and socialise, and a lack of evening events. I found the staff generally unfriendly and uninterested in us, apart from one guy (black hair, comes from Alfama). Not so much as a "oh hey, where have you been exploring today" from most of the reception staff. The rooms are good, cleaned daily, and a great size. Plus we requested a balcony and the staff organised that for us that was nice. However, the air conditioning unit in the rooms are as loud as jet engines, and walking down the hallway, you can hear them blasting through the doors. One thing to note and that needs fixing is that the lift often does not work, and is turned of late at night and early in the morning (10pm - 5am). Sometimes, the lift will take you to the floor you need and then will just not open the doors. Don't panic as you can press another level and get back out again. Breakfast is included which is nice but I found this very dull and uninspiring in the mornings. The thickest bread slices I have ever seen for toast, yogurt that is lukewarm so it has split, very sweet coffee from a coffee machine, and horrid juice drinks. If you can be bothered, their a supermarket further up the hill that serves good pana-chocolate if you want to buy those the night before and eat them in the morning for something with a little more flavour. Overall, this is a great hostel for the price, but lacks many of the little extras that you would expect from a hostel.

    Very well located hostel in Lisbon's shopping and restaurant district. Rooms are very simple, but clean. A basic breakfast/coffee is included. The price you pay for the central location is a lot of street noise throughout day and night. With only single pane windows, some of the trucks and motorcycles racing up the street in front of the hostel seem to drive straight through your room. I may have slept only 3 hours, but only after the guests in the neighboring room stopped talking at 2 am. We heard every of their words through the (closed) connecting door.

    Great place to stay and located at heart of main city area of Lisbon. Most popular place are near by and also most public transport means too are close by. Rooms are small but that's fine if you just need room to spend night. Hostel staff is cordial and hospitable and also nice in guiding you to do tour of Lisbon. Morning breakfast starts at 7.30 and it's kind of fix menu. But is filling. Should not be issue if your stay is for 2 to 3 days, since the menu is same all days. Rooms are well maintained and clean. The place also provide luggage storage space if you check out early. The best feature of this Hostel is its location....from this place one can travel to any part of Lisbon and out of Lisbon to other Portugal areas as well. And considering this advantage, the Hostel tariff is pretty economical. The location is safe as well. When you check in you have to deposit an additional 5 Euro towards room key security. This is refundable amount. Near to this Hostel there is a supermarket from where you can buy some light eatables, just in case one wants to munch stuff while at the room. Rooms are bit creatively designed to have trendy and cool look. Most popular city tourist spots are close....for example... Castle de Jorge i.e. the city main castle...is just 15 minutes walking plus climbing distance (there is a elevator from supermarket); place like praca do commercio and also the Rossio square are at walking distance of 5 minutes; the popular Lisbon Cathedral is 5 minutes walking... Further the Blue and Green line Metro / subway main stations, Rossio Railway station, tram station and city bus station, sea port are all located pretty close by. Also one can travel to outskirts places like Sintra and Cascious by train through nearby railway stations. The Hostel staff can also arrange and book for you City tour including hop in hop off city tours, if plan to not to explore city on your own. But nice place to stay with reasonable budget. Pls. Pls do not forget to try nearby areas walking around especially during evening.....it is happening particularly during last 20 days of December month or otherwise as well...... Bonvoyage/Happy Journey!!!!!

    Good location next to Alfama, friendly and helpful staff. But building and rooms would really need some renovation, very basic, I used it just for sleeping.

  • 5/5 Dara F. 5 years ago on Google
    Far exceeded expectations, great staff, lovely clean rooms (there was a hair in the shower but nothing can be perfect) especially at such a reasonable price considering the excellent location.

  • 4/5 Xavier S. 5 years ago on Google
    Simple but with an excellent situation. The only thing to criticize is the minimum space to keep the clothes. Staff, cleaning and breakfast are perfects.
