About

With supreme comfort, cleanliness, style and security, the multi-award-winning Lisbon Lounge Hostel is the perfect place to call home during your visit to our fantastic city.

Lisbon Lounge Hostel was the first hostel in Lisbon, opened in 2005 as a project by four Portuguese. From the beginning the concept was simple: to give backpackers a first-class Lisbon experience at budget prices. Through the years we have continued to improve our service, and for multiple years we were voted the best Small Hostel in the World by Hostelworld.

Our services include free walking tours, free nightlife tours, bicycle rental, mini bar and free coffee and tea all day. For a low cost you can join other guests for our three-course hostel dinner, cooked by our talented Portuguese chef. We also offer cheap van tours (during summertime) to the romantic historical town of Sintra and the local beaches.

Were located in the heart of Lisbon's historic Baixa district, the main tourist center of the city. The hostel is just around the corner from the iconic Rua Augusta, a grand and beautiful mosaic-tiled pedestrian street capped by a colossal arch. A short stroll will also take you to the charming suburb of Alfama, the oldest part of Lisbon and the home of Fado, the music of Portugal. At night you can walk to the famous Bairro Alto, a labyrinth of bars and street parties. All forms of public transport, including the airport shuttle and the Cascais beach train line, are within very short walking distance of our hostel.

With so much on offer, you will have everything you need to have a comfortable, memorable and fun stay in Lisbon. We look forward to welcoming you to the city we love!

I loved my stay here! I stayed in the 10-bed female dorm — it was comfortable, clean, and I loved that it didn’t have bunk beds (but single beds). The bathrooms were clean, not crowded, and bright. The room is on the 5th floor, but Daniela very kindly helped me bring my very big suitcase up! They provide all bedding and a big locker - my things & I felt safe and taken care of throughout. The free breakfast is super yummy & felt so homely :) very grateful to the Lisbon lounge team! Thank you!!!

Hostelworld says

Lisbon Lounge Hostel was rated the best small hostel in the world at the 2011 Hoscars and it's not difficult to see why. The hostel offers bike rentals, free fado and walking tours and the rooms have been decorated by local artists. The most popular feature seems to be the hostel's nightly three-course Portuguese meal, served with wine and bread for only â'¬9. One Hostelworld traveller told us dinner was "a perfect opportunity to have good food for a great price and meet new people in a nice atmosphere".
