Living Lounge Hostel

Brilliant location right by the metro so I’d definitely advise using that rather than paying out for a taxi The staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was great and everything very clean Would highly recommend for those looking for somewhere a bit quirky

I expected a very chaotic hostel, full of 20 year olds. - How wrong I was. I arrived to a homey, organized, smelled clean & passed a white sock test lounge with families, children (seen, yet barely heard 🤔), older folk, singles. The place is in the heart of the city and sooo quiet & peaceful. Everyone respects each others space. Quirky, fun and welcoming. The staff is amazing; friendly, helpful. My room was the highest point and Id pack it in my bag if I could. At first I didnt appreciate the amount of stairs, but soon rwalized this is just Lisbon’s way of saying “Welcome to Lisboa, get in shape!” 😅 Bathrooms are very clean and always available. Dinner is availabel for groups of 4 & up, and breakfast is a-ma-zing. Will miss my nutella crepe. 😢 Would definetelly come back here. Great experience. Please be curteous. Clean after yourself in the kitchen, have fun and enjoy Lisbon!

In a city where good deals for lodging are almost nonexistent, this is a hidden gem. I had a private single room (shared hall bathroom and showers) that fit the bill perfectly. Hot/cold breakfast was provided for free each morning and staff was available 24/7--not always the case with hostels, I have found, so it was much appreciated here. A very nice woman (I forgot to ask her name but I know she has a daughter, if that helps) allowed me to check in several hours early when I arrived in the morning after a redeye flight and no sleep. There was a problem with the room safe not working, but she went and found a working one in another vacant room for me and swapped it out so all was well. Air conditioning was individually controlled and nice and strong, allowing a good night's sleep. The subway was half a block away so the location was good for travelers without a car, such as myself. The hostel also offered an optional local cuisine dinner at 8:30 PM Tuesday night (not sure if it's every night or not) that I signed up for. The feast featured bacalao (codfish), a local delicacy, along with a special soup, appetizer samples of sausages, salad, bread, and endless glasses of red wine. There were ten of us at the table in the dining area of the hostel just off the lobby, from five different countries, and we spent over 4 hours eating, laughing, and sharing stories. The chef (Luis, I think?) outdid himself. I am glad I found this gem and urge you to book it early as it is always filled up (private rooms as well as shared dorm room are available). There is no elevator so I had to walk up and down 4 flights of stairs but it was good to work off some of the calories from the delicious food in Lisbon, and a dumbwaiter is available for the luggage so there are no issues there. Obrigado, Living Lounge! : )

I stayed at the Living Lounge Hostel in Lisbon one week the last december. It was a really beautiful experience, with the opportunity to get to know people from all over there world and why not, to eat tasteful breakfast too. The a**osphere at the hostel was familiar and genuine and the people who worked there were very kind and gave me a lot of useful advice, with the reception opened all day long. I absolutely suggest to go there! Obrigada pelo todo! Giulia da Italia

Great room, solid breakfast including pancakes and fruit. In the perfect location with the train and metro station very close so can get around Lisbon easily. Shared bathrooms aren't too busy and 4 on each floor. Would reccomend! Thankyou to Mario and team for a pleasant stay.

I chose to stay in a hostel for the last leg of my trip as I was traveling alone and was hoping to meet other travelers. This place was great. It was clean, comfortable, and centrally located. As I had a private room this wasn't much different than staying at a hotel, other than having access to a communal kitchen. A basic breakfast was provided in the morning. This was really the only opportunity I had to meet other travelers as people weren't around at other times, and the group dinners I had read about weren't being offered during my stay. The other guests staying here were of all ages, ranging from recent grads to retirees so i appreciated the diverse age range as some hostels I looked at only catered to a younger crowd.

Worth the money, clean and super cheap, considering the city zone. Good breakfast and useful extra organized (e.g. social dinner). Metro is literally "next door". Area is full of shops, restaurants and cool places to visit. Absolutely recommend.

This hostel was really clean, had a lot of character, friendly staff and was bang in the middle of town, though luckily down a quiet side street. We had a private room which was big if slightly sp**** - though there were some really nice communal areas.
