Central location w/ nice staff and great ambience
Very central location, friendly staff, nice aesthetic and ambience. Really loved it and would stay again. My only caution is that the beds are hostel beds and I wouldn't recommend for folks with back issues. (I was a little uncomfortable after 4 nights, but given the other perks of the hostel, would do it again)

Great option in Lisbon
Great hostel. Right in Rossio regional station NOT the Metro station. Take a train from right outside your door to Sintra for 2euro. Really great staff. Good breakfast, nice room, nice shower. Really highly recommended for Lisboa. I had the single private room.

This is in an excellent location in midtown and over a train station. The staff is extremely helpful. They play music that is geared to younger people. It is not loud and stops around 10 at night. We slept very well. We had a private room and bath for half the cost of a hotel in the area and all the basic amenities. They also offer help with scheduling tours. Though most of clientele were 20s and 30s we never felt out of place and also saw children there. Free breakfast provided. The shower could use some upgrading in our room but other than that I would give 5 stars.

Fantastic Stay
My sister and I stayed here at the recommendation of Lonely Planet, figuring that it must be good to be featured in their guidebooks. We were right; we had a fantastic time. We stayed in a private room with a bathroom, which was very comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was good, the staff were all lovely and welcoming. Location of the hostel is fantastic-we just strolled out of the hostel onto the train to Sintra, which is literally just outside the door, we were close to the riverside and sights and the Aerobus dropped us off very close to the hostel. We loved the range of tours and activities that were on offer. We did the fado tour, which was excellent, and if we had less things booked, we would have done some of the free walking tours. There was a great range available and something for everyone. If I had one complaint, it was the shower was a bit difficult to use and claustrophobic but that is just nitpicking. I would happily stay here again.

The location 👍 and the staff are ❤️ Great. The amenities are some of best I’ve ever seen offered at a hostel - large kitchen for cooking, 2 guest fridges for your food, huge public space with couches, pool table, etc, and you can use the pool at their sister hostel not too far away. Good sized washroom/shower areas and rooms with comfy mattresses and pillows. Bathrooms could use a later tidy up as some of the visitors were slobs and left their many wet towels etc in the in the shared washroom on the main floor - never noticed thiis in past visits. My 4th visit and will definitively be back again. Even if you are 50/60 ++ you will call it home while in Lisbon.

This hostel was much cheaper than the Stayokay hostel that I stayed in Amsterdam before I came to Lisbon. Yet its services and facilities were much much better. I will certainly consider staying at Lisbon Destination Hostel again in future.

Super solid option for almost anyone!
Room and bathrooms were consistently clean. Hostel has good evening activities like dinners and pub crawls for standard prices as well as a hearty rotation of paid daytime tours. Even without these activities, the common area is a pretty solid option for meeting people as a solo traveler. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. My bed in a six person, female only dorm was comfortable - privacy curtains are always appreciated. Breakfast was a very solid continental spread. I have absolutely no complaints. Would recommend to anyone!

Nice hostel in heart of Lisbon!
This hostel in Lisbon is in probably one of the best locations - very central and easy access to the airport. The hostel itself has a cool looking lobby and common area, as well as large rooms. Wifi did not work all that well in the room, but worked just fine in the lobby. The one complaint I had about this hostel is their night entrance is next to impossible to find. Their sign out front is quite vague, and the night entrance itself is poorly signed. Their staff was good for the most part - really helpful at times, but could get defensive at times when asked about parts of their facilities (i.e. poor wifi connection in the room, why the night entrance is not clearly marked). Overall, it was a fairly positive experience for a hostel, and I would recommend staying here for those looking to visit Lisbon.

Hostel, not hotel.
This is a hostel, not a hotel, so even though we had a nice, clean, private room with its own bathroom, the general ambiance is quite a bit less formal. Don't expect daily maid service, and be prepared to wash your own breakfast dishes. But the price is unbeatable and the local is superb. If you're flexible and don't mind being around a lot of young backpackers, this is a great place to stay.
