Le location of this hostel is perfect if you want to visit the city. Metro station is at 5 minutes walk like major bus stops. You can only park your car in the street. Access with a well chair will not be possible at all. Internet is available only with Wi-Fi. There is a TV set at the reception/share room. Kitchen is under construction. Not possible to prepare a meal. I do not recommend this hostel and I will tell you why. I saw garbage bags in front of the hostel door during couple of hours. I saw this during my 3 days stay. I could not  estimate the number of beds (more than 26 at least) but you only have 3 toilets (one with a broken window so people on the building facing this window can see you) and 4 showers (2 do not have a door, it is not a joke).  Regarding the wash basin, 4 are available and are also used to wash the dishes or preparing the food of the staff.   I was brushing my tooth and one guy was cleaning meet. This is not a joke. From the hostel entrance door, people can see you when you are in front of the wash basin. Breakfast is included, but nothing amazing. You have to put dirty dishes inside a bucket. This bucket is on the floor.   This is not a joke. I saw staff busy to prepare their own food. It was with an electrical cooker on the  tiny balcony. It was like they were doing camping. This is not a joke. About the hostel itself. It is renovated but it is not well done. My dorm was not that big with 8 beds. No lockers  inside, you must go outside the room. I asked for one. It was full with rubish! They are not professional at all Staff are foreigners. It is like they are living and eating there. They are always talking together or on the phone and they are so loud. If you want to sleep it is not that smart from them. There English is not that good (they do not speak Portuguese). If you need some information about areas to visit in Lisbon, don't ask them because they don't know. This is not a joke. The manager do not tell people good morning and he is a dictator with all the staff. I dit not like it at all. The share room. It is too small for the quantity of people.

Nightly rates from $38
