The hostel is perfectly located, right in center of Lisbon with underground, tram and lots of buses around. The staff was very nice and very helpfull, i didn't tried the mama's dinner and the walk tour around bairro alto but i think that should be a great choice. Some people made a lot of noise in the morning and i couldn't sleep as well. When i'll travel to lisbon again, for sure that i'll join this hostel!

The hostel is excelent. All people who work there are very nice. We went in a walking tour with Sara from a company called Wild Walkers. She is a very nice girl and the tour was very good. The hostel is well located, near the Baixo Chiado subway station, It's near Bairro Alto, were people go out at night. I recommend this hostel to everyone who visits Lisbon

This is a homey hostel in an older building. Dinners cooked by Mama are great. Much more of a homey atmosphere than a party atmosphere, and the staff is very nice and helpful and eat dinner together with you. Downside is the building is very old. Best part of this hostel is the free laundry service, which is unheard of! The owner is very nice

Pros: Awesome location, very helpful staff around 24 hours, cheap drinks available, great kitchen, cozy common room, free WiFi and computers to use, FREE laundry service daily. We really enjoyed our stay here Cons: Only one terrace which was used mostly for smoking, rooms a bit chilly in winter, communal bathrooms could get very damp and gross after showers were used,

This was an incredible hostel. The entire staff was amazing and Mama's dinners are well worth the price!! Although if you want to go for a cheaper option you have full access to their kitchen so you can buy supplies and make your own food as well. They fully support a drinking atmosphere which means drinking games in the living room to meet other people in the hostel. And they have great recommendations for things to do while in Lisbon. Definitely stay here!!

The couch is great and so comfy after a long walking day through the hills of lisboa. Mama´s dinner as well. Unfortunately the electricity in the upper floor didnt work that well so we had to freeze during the first night.

This hostel was awesome! It really felt like a "home" hostel - complete with Mama's Dinner! (Definitely sign up for it, it's way worth the €8) The staff was extremely friendly and always helpful. They let you keep your luggage in the back room before/after checkout if you still have exploring to do! The bathrooms are clean and the kitchen is perfect for cooking if you don't plan on eating out for all of your meals. The common room always has people in it, so it's really easy to meet new people.
