About

It is a question that has always plagued the creative mind: does life reflect art or does art reflect life?

Living Lounge, recently voted the second best medium hostel on Hostelworld, takes hostel art and travelling life to a whole new level.

Each double, single and dorm room at the hostel is a unique work of art, having been individually designed by local artists to reflect different elements of Lisbon's rich culture. Although every room is different, they?ve all been crafted with the same goal in mind: providing our guests with supreme comfort, security and style during their stay. We also have a budget room in the attic with narrow stairs and two individual beds.

Our hostel features a luxurious and spacious downstairs lounge area, providing the perfect place to sip a drink, listen to music and meet people from around the world. Upstairs we have a peaceful indoor garden room, a lovely place to bring a book and relax. Our guests are welcome to use our free Wi-Fi internet, and our friendly staff can provide you with free maps and any tourist info you might need.

Living Lounge is a project from the same group of Portuguese friends who own and operate the multi-award winning Lisbon Lounge Hostel. With Living Lounge, we bring you the same high standards of quality and design but with an exciting new artistic concept.

Living Lounge is located in the heart of Lisbon's tourist centre, right on the border between the ritzy Chiado district and the historic Baixa. The Baixa-Chiado metro station is literally right across the street, and it is only a quick train ride to Lisbon's nearest beaches or a short stumble to Lisbon's best nightlife area - the Bairro Alto. We also provide a range of free activities, including nightlife tours and daytime walking tours.

With piece-of-cake public transport access, you'll have no problem finding us. We look forward to providing you with an unforgettable stay in Lisbon.

Hostel location is so ideal for the town, so easy to get to all the main public transport and attractions. Rooms are clean and tidy, only curtains on bottom bunks. No womens only areas but I personally did not have any issues. Receptionist were very friendly. Hostel rooms are up several flights of stairs so after a day of walking can be tiresome.

Have been travelling for four months and this is the best hostel I have stayed in. Everything is very clean, the bunk rooms are spacious and have lots of storage. There are heaps of shared spaces which are all very tidy and functional. Last and certainly not least is the best free hostel breakfast I’ve had, delicious scrambled eggs and pancakes!

Great hostel in a great location. Central and walkable to all the sights, right off a metro line for easy access. The hostel is modern, clean, and roomy, with updated security features for storing your things. Breakfast was delicious and really makes the hostel feel homey. The whole setup is spacious, airy and personable. Great staff, and great experience overall!

Hostelworld says

If you?re looking for a boutique-style hostel, we think the multi-Hoscar-winning Living Lounge Hostel might be your place. Each of their light and airy rooms has been decorated in a different colourful theme by local artists. Hostelworld guests often note that the staff have proved to be accommodating to early morning arrivals and departures, organising special breakfasts and taxis. Also highly-praised is the hostel?s nightly three-course dinner for only ?9, including wine. We particularly like that the free breakfast includes pancakes.
