The location of the hostel was good and very central but due to that it was really noisy during the night. Unfortunately it was also lacking in other aspects, such as the cleanliness especially in the bathrooms and the maintenance of the facilities. Both of our lockers weren’t working properly, damages for example in the showers were cheaply repaired and the kitchen was lacking in equipment.

Honestly disappointed, they said they had laundry machines and they don’t, the door didn’t lock properly, it was super loud at night and I couldn’t sleep, the bed offered no privacy, I had to climb a ladder to get on the bed that was precarious.

Unsanitary, Bedbugs, No Response or Refund I got bedbugs during my stay at Rossio Hostel in July 2025. The room was unsanitary, and staff dismissed the issue when I reported it. I left early and requested a refund, but they’ve ignored multiple messages via WhatsApp and email. Zero accountability or empathy. Would not recommend.
