Rossio Hostel

I had an absolutely amazing stay at the Rossio Hostel. Good location to the city, amazinggg service from the staff: they were so welcoming and helpful! The hostel had a cozy ”home” atmosphere which I most definitely prefer as I was solo-travelling. I’m so happy that one of the staff even spoke Swedish (my native language), which made it even feel more like home :) Booking was also very easy to manage and to choose your preferred room! Breakfast was included, it was okay but great to have it as an option. They are able to store your bags if you haven’t checked in yet, or on your day of check-out so you can explore the city more. Once you get your room, there’s automatic lockers for your bags. They can provide you with a towel if needed. Clean rooms and bathrooms! One thing I’d like to mention is that the reception is open between 9am-midnight, good to know for anyone that hasn’t checked in yet as I arrived very early (between midnight-9am).. but honestly that’s my fault and it was no problem for me as I went to see the sunrise at the Alfama — which was very close walking distance to the hostel location! It’s close to the Rossio Station were they have lockers for your bags. There’s a supermarket called Pingo Doce just on the corner of the hostel were you can get all essentials. I can also recommend the Normal store (5 min walk), which has everything you need. If I ever come back to Lisbon (hopefully I’ll do!) I would love to stay here again! Thanks once again!

Daniel at Reception kindly carried my suitcase to the fourth floor. Brilliant location but no lift so moving luggage might be difficult for some. I enjoyed my stay. Very central location within easy walking distance of most places.

Pros: good location, nice staff Cons: 1.the toilet is soooo bad, it has no privacy and very smelly at night.(the shower and toilet are in one small room, only cleaned daily) 2.Every morning I wake up, I got more and more bites, I assume they have bed bugs, and it’s really itch and annoying. 3. The room is very small and no air-con, so the noisy fan is working all night

It’s old; it’s a lot of stair climbing; well located and serves a great breakfast. Has limited bar. Work being done on premises is noisy. Staff is friendly and professional. Curtained beds for privacy with reading lights. Towel provided. Right on Rossio Square—walk anywhere downtown.

The property was very nice. The only issue was that there are no elevators in it. You need to walk two flights of stairs just to get to the office. Then our room was two flights of stairs more. Room was nice. No refrigerator or Tv. Great location though. We were across from the Christmas Market at the square. Staffwas very nice and spine good English.
