I enjoyed it! clean, attentive staff, good location in the center. The only thing - small bath's cabins - but it's such a small thing compared to all the benefits!))

We really enjoyed our stay at Odisseo. Thanks to great staff, especially Pedro we felt like home. The place is clean, good located, nicely equipped and with great atmosphere. Good value for money. We definitely come back when we visit Lisbon for the next time.

Great hostel, great staff, great location (far enough from the center to be quiet, close enough to walk everywhere), small bathrooms, but what can you do?

We had a grat time during our stay in Lisbon, the staf was great, really confortable rooms, clean bath, and the location of the hostel near the Barrio Alto but in a quiet street makes this a really recomendable hostel, quality/price relation is optimal. Staff had a great attention with us and were really nice and friendly

Very charming hostel at good location. The rooms are at the 3rd floor. The rooms are very nice equipped and the staff is friendly and helpful. The Bathroom and the Toiletts are very small.

As soon as I got to the hostel, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They told me which places to visit in Lisbon and gave me a map and explained how to get there. My room was very clean as well as the kitchen, bathroom and the hostel in general. They make breakfast for you everyday and although I did not go, the food smelled good and they encouraged me to go. The cleaning lady is a sweetie too. The hostel is in a safe neighborhood and is a 3 minute walk from the metro line.

i recommend Albergo Odisseo for who looking for a place cozy, very clean, good location and with lovely rooms. Nice kitchen if you plan to cook.Was a pleasant experience because i was travelling alone with a short time in Lisbon and the staff was amazing helping me to enjoy the best of Lisbon and provided a portable heater to warm my room before i go to bed because is still very cold in Lisbon. I definitely will come back.Thank you Vanessa and Liliane!!!

The place is not a "hostel" at all nor an "albergo" : a poor apartment with no common living space at all, Difficult to find, no signs anywhere. No heating at all in the rooms. An awkward "bathroom" - very tiny toilet with foldable door / two tiny showers same style. No sign of breakfast in the (clean but dead) kitchen. I immediately decided to stay for one night only - despite the difficult time in Lisbon. But the lady refused to refund the deposit (Hostelword she said). Very disappointing !

Dear guest, unfortunately you were the wrong guest at wrong place. Your "style" isn´t to stay in the any kind of hostel. Our Albergo Odisseo Lisbon Hostel is a low-cost accommodation. All informations are clear in our hostelworld´s profile and we dont hide informations. You told " Difficult to find"...how? Today we have Google map, Street view, Windows map and many ways to find anything before to travel... and the most simple thing: address. What part of our address that you not understood? Please, tell us! In 5 years we never offer the breakfast but our kitchen is available for all. We are sorry that you had cold, but you should mention about it because we have extra-blankets available and a portable heater. Most of the hostels in Lisbon close to the center are located in centenarian buildings and are not prepared with central heating. An awkward "bathroom"? Bathroom is bathroom... you didn´t shared the WC with nobody and you had all hostel for you... our common living space is closed after midnight, you has arrived at the hostel 2am but what do you would like? We have rules. If you decided to stay for one night only it´s was your choice and we aren't guilty because you had a difficult time in Lisbon. You decided to stay at your friend´s home... maybe he was not so welcoming like you wanted. Bad luck, sorry... and a smile on the face and friendliness sometimes change everything... Next time choose another kind accommodation not so "poor". We have pride of our Albergo Odisseo! Because an "hostel" and "Ritz" are totally different. The difference was in your wallet and your low budget. We are very disappointing with you also. Happy new year! Albergo Odisseo´s Staff
