Summary of traveller reviews

Rossio Hostel in Lisbon is praised for its incredibly central location, making it easy to explore the city. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, who contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast is often mentioned as a positive, offering a good start to the day. While generally positive, some recent reviews note that the bathrooms could be updated and that noise from the central location can be an issue.

Pros - great location, clean, free breakfast Cons - hot (no a/c), no laundry, no water stations, cramped (no where in bathroom to set your things while getting ready), no privacy (shower doors are see-through), no hostel events, barely any recs (posters on walls are from last years events), not very friendly. Would not recommend! 👎

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.
