Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in ends at 23:30 — The reception is not open all night, so if you're arriving late, you'll need to plan around the 15:00–23:30 window.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with an animal.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, which could be a challenge if you're driving. The property does offer car hire, but you'll need to find public parking nearby.
  • Limited room types — The property lists only two room categories — a family room and a double room — which may not suit solo travellers looking for a cheaper dorm option.

“Everything is brand new — I had a fantastic stay during my Lisbon trip. Make sure you book the double room with a private bathroom and TV; it costs £112. The location is incredible, right in the old town.”

“Everything was excellent. The location on the edge of Alfama is ideal, and nearby York Burger is a great place to relax. Honestly, no reason to complain.”

“The homemade bread at breakfast was a dream! I discovered O Beco, a good spot a minute from the hostel, where Abdullah's service shone — especially when he recommended the condensed milk mousse — pure bliss! The cozy double room was perfect for my solo adventures in vibrant Alfama.”

“Beautiful hotel with good Wi-Fi and an amazing location near everything. It was close to the Museum of Fado and the wonderful Alfama district. We spent evenings at Taberna ti Camila, just 100 feet from the hotel.”
