Amazing place, the staff is great not as clean as a standard hostel should be. The breakfast has everything.

Great price and great staff! Comfortable bedding and nice atmosphere. However, it was very messy. Lockers were not available for all the guests. Hostel might consider removing the absolutely terrifying metal statue in the entrance hallway.

A nice hostel....a bit boring as there is not a great common room for everyone to hang out in. There is a well equipped kitchen and a lovely garden. The hostel is clean and well run. The prices are also very cheap compared to other places of similar great quality.

Nice hostel in a nice area. The beds, sheets and linen were clean, which is the most important thing for me. The bathroom could be cleaner (and bigger), but for such a cheap price it's definitely ok. Nice staff and kids are welcome => very good value for your money!

If you're lookin for something a bit quieter and out of the main city centre this is a good option. It's nice and quiet and close to a picnic worthy park and of course the most excellent pastries, but it is a good 10-15 minutes from the centre of town so you've always got to factor that into your planning. The other downside was the very small bathroom with only 2 toilets and showers to serve all females staying and got very crowded, and there never seemed to be toilet paper in the toilets.

It was a very beautiful hostel, and very very well located, the staff was awesome!!! They have a nice kitchen you can use too, but the bathrooms were always durty and no toilet papers in, no soup to wash our hands too.The breakfast was ok. The bedroom was sooooo small!!! And next to the hall, so it was very noisy!!! I would not come back.

Our stay in this hostel was unforgettable! Everybody was very nice and there were always people there to talk and hang out. The location is one of the bests in Lisbon because it is half an hour from the city center and right next to the monastery of Belem! We really enjoyed it!

Such a nice staff! I got in late and they brought me some food because I was hungry. Somewhat of a hipster feel. Good design. Great for college kids on a break! Near the castle on the water and the monestary. City center is a little far. Cab to the airport is only 12 euro so take that! Metro takes forever.

In general the hostel is not bad: the only thing that's not so good it's the bathrrom. There are few showers and toilets (only 2 showers for the guys and 2 for the girls - to all the hostel!) and you have no privacy in the bathroom, as the shower's and toilet's cabins are made by glass... On the other hand, the staff is very helpful and nice!

Very good hostel! All point are good, except a location, a bit far from city centre. But if you like to stay in east part of Lisbon, called as Belem, then this hostel the best!

Probably the coolest hostel ever. The guys there are great, the rooms and bathrooms are clean and they also offer a rich breakfeast. They should just change those bath's doors - they are made of frosted glass and it's kind of embarrassing :-p And it's kind of far from the center, althoug you can eaasily reach there and it's just side by side to the Mosteiro dos Jerônimos and the Pastel de Belém store. Totally recommend it!

The hostel is really good. It is not located at the centre of the city, but is at the heart of Belém, a very beautiful area with tourist attractions and easy access to the centre. The staff is really friendly, making the atmosphere quite pleasant - additional credits to the night receptionist!

Excellent hostel, though our room next to the living room was rather small. Still a great place to stay and very good value for money. We met lots of nice people :). Good chance we'll stay here again next time we're in Lisboa.

Belem is good option if want to be in a calm area.1st prob was that hostel doesn't have heating & the humidity in the room at night is huge. We've asked for help reg this matter & we've been advised to buy a heater from the market or to leave the window open (March 2013)!!2nd problem was that night staff was tolerating big time noise & screaming by other hostel visitors without saying a word & I had to ask them to be quiet.For all above I think it's owner's fault as staff is acting on orders.

Hi there, Thank you for your opinion about People Hostel every single point its important to us. For this price range hostels is complicated to find one that provide a heater, altough our staff would be pleased to give an extra blanket if needed. As for the noise, our hostel has a rule that at 2:00am every one has to go to theyre respective rooms and keep quiet, before that people are free to socialize, and obvious if someone is making some disturbing noise we automaticaly ask them to keep it low. Thank you for your kind words and hope to see you again here at People Hostel :) People Hostel Front-Desk

The location is outstanding if you don't plan to go for the center but for the nice district of Belem. Price was definetely okay. But the dormitory, kitchen and common area were not that comfortable as in other hostels. A real negative point was the cleanliness.
