“Extremely high quality environment and facilities with a clever layout centered on a fabulous bar and common room staffed by a friendly and professional team. Meeting people is an excellently unavoidable occurrence, and with Mama around you’ll be certain to feel part of something special and very uniquely Portuguese. A certain local gin on offer also deserves special mention ;-)” Read more

“Everything was perfect! The location was great, the hostel was clean and the staff were the most lovely people ever. I felt really at home there and I am already thinking about when I can return to this hostel. I can recommend it 100% :)”

“Def the best I’ve stayed in on several prolonged trips, though each of the better ones had particular local advantages for my convenience at the time. The most sociable hostel I’ve stayed in anywhere, though during covid times it lacked the guest numbers to shine as it usually does. The evening meal is a bargain, tasty, nutritious and main opportunity to meet the others at the shared tables. Only drawback is the ease with which you can stay in the hostel instead of going out and about in Lisbon. Staff invariably pleasant and helpful.” Read more

“Nice kitchen, nice room, clean and in located in the city center”

“This hostel is amazing! This is the first place I arrived to in Lisbon (and Portugal generally), and I could've been more lucky! The stuff is amazing, were very helpful for whatever I needed, very convenient to turn to and always with a big smile! rooms and facilities super clean, beds are very comfortable and an incredible location! Really central so there is a lot to see if you just feel like walking around the city but also very convenient and easy to get to the more distant attractions.” Read more

“Amazing building, facilities and decor. Very welcoming community feeling and a great place for both socialising and working.”

“Amazing staff and great atmosphere, I felt right at home!”

“Genuinely the best hostel you can ever set foot in. Staff friendlyness, clean, atmosphere, activities like walking tour was amazing. Even during COVID it made all the worries go away, and you'll have the bets dinner with mamas cooking 👍🏽If you find this one available, just go ahead and book it, there won't be anything like it. Shout out to Andre and Gustavo! ” Read more

“What can I say. A very special Hostel like no other I've been to! The place has a charm that quickly draws you in as well as the staff, particularly 'Sintra' and 'Baby Bruno' :) I really liked the set up with a bar area where meeting new peeps was easy and a lounge area to relax if wanting 'me' time. Mama's dinners were also great and I liked the fact that during the day there were quiet rooms where I could work/co work with others. It really did feel like a home, so much so that I returned after a week away to the South. Will defo be back soon! ” Read more

“Great location, friendly and helpful staff who genuinely care about making your stay comfortable, clean facilities and the quality of the beds and space in the room. Having a large and deep drawer for storing your personal belongings is brilliant. ”
