About

Part of a 250 years old building, in a typical Lisbon house from the 18th century, Lisbon Calling is where you'll find out how it really feels living as a 'lisboeta'.

We're small and relaxed with an artistic feeling. Located in central Lisbon ideal both for daytime sightseeing and nightlife bohemia. Built and run by friends, travellers, open minded people who like to share their positive attitude on life.

Standard is not our thing, so we created a place like our own home. Seven exclusive tailor-made rooms, that transport you to a different time.The super-staff has lots of great tips to make the most of your stay.

The fully-equipped communal kitchen is also available for those wishing to prepare their own meals and a pic-nic near the river. Or just have dinner in several local restaurants.

The historical Chiado is 9 min walking and has several shops and historical cafés. Bairro Alto, also. Train to Cascais and the beach is a 5 min walking distance.

Lovely, characterful hostel. Full kitchen facilities, great bedroom and bathroom. Location great, just a 5 minute walk to the trains/trams to Belem and metro connections to airport.

Loved this hostel! I stayed in one of the double rooms that I had to myself and it was lovely, the room was HUGE! Great location with lots of stuff nearby, right next to Cais do sodre station and very lively at night My only cons were that the WiFi didn’t work everywhere, and the shower head was the type that I had to hold because it wasn’t mounted (minor lol but still didn’t love), and the bed was UNCOMFY like I could feel the springs digging into my body it was like landing on metal lol

Everything is good, I love the hostel, it’s also my first hostel! Love the decor especially the bathroom. I toured Lisbon last night and love your city! The only thing I would change was to have AC instead of a fan but the fan was effective. Also, the front door on the street doesn’t seem to lock. The location is awesome.
