Lisbon Calling

Lovely hostel close to Cais do Sodre Metro station and a 2 minute walk from Time Out Market. Our room was very large with lots of space for four of us and was very comfortable. Nice 'living room area and well equipped kitchen. They were also happy for us to drop off our luggage before check-in time. As we were leaving early in the morning, they prepared a breakfast for us the night before which was really appreciated. The only downsides were that our room was at the front of the hostel and it's a lively, noisy area at night so there was a bit of disturbance late at night and although there's a lift there are still some steps to climb at the bottom and the top to reach the hostel. Overall though, a very good deal in a city where accommodation is generally expensive.

Perfect for 2 days in Central Lisbon. It’s very convenient for metro and bus. The room was very clean and had a nice view. We enjoyed the breakfast of bread, jams, cheese, muesli, yogurt, and orange juice - it was a bit confusing the first day the food was not portioned out, but the second day it was designated per room which we preferred and got more to eat. We shared a bathroom with 3 other rooms and only had to wait briefly. Overall this is a very nice guesthouse and we would stay again!

It was amazing. Very kind people, nice place and lovely room. Tasty breakfast and servise. I reccomend it!

We had a lovely stay at calling Lisbon. We stayed for 4 nights, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The area surrounding was very busy and lots of life to it. I would say this property is a mix between a hostel and a bed and breakfast. The breakfast is very limited, just toast or cereal or yogurt. The private bathroom was external from the bedroom (which we knew! but you did have to walk across the hall way/lobby to get to it, which sometimes was awkward- the building is old and really pretty but the soundproofing is non existent, so you can hear everything on the street and in the room next door and in the hallway and lobby. So if anybody goes to the toilet at night you hear the floor boards creaking! I would say just bring some good ear plugs. Our room was the blue room and was really lovely, bed was super comfy and big. The room overall was great and could be cool or warm depending on what you want. There is a little window at the top of the door so if you are on the top bunk you can see the lobby and it does let light through - this could easily be sorted with a little blind for night time - I also think a small bin for the room would have been good. The bathroom itself was great with two showers, two toilets and a sink - very spacious and clean! Overall we enjoy our stay with the place being very friendly and charming.

Lovely place! However is located in a busy nightlife neighborhood that gets noisy. The street could use a little cleaning after parties are over. The property has no a/c ask for a fan during hot weather season.

Our room was huge with really quirky artwork and furniture. Location is great, Time Out market across the road, metro/train station behind that then then you are on the waterfront. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area and a tram stop just a few steps away. The communal kitchen is really clean and has great facilities. The breakfast was a perfect little start to the day, toast, cheese, jam, fruits and yogurt. Tea and coffee are available all day. We had a private external bathroom; it was across the lobby but this was not an issue as there are only a few rooms, so the communal areas were always quiet. We were given a key for the bathroom, but we did not bother locking it as the building felt very safe. The only downside is the noise. Double glazing does block out most of the road noise but when a tram goes by the building shakes. Other guests can be heard coming in and out, we were lucky that most people were conscious of this. Vera was so helpful, she sent us local recommendations and let us store our bags before check in and after check out. For the price this is a great place to stay, in a good location with handy facilities.

The place is very beautiful and the staff is very nice

Really well situated, lovely room and beautifully decorated. There is a great kitchen / sitting / eating area that is well equipped. A lovely host as well who was so friendly and gave us brilliant tips on the best restaurants and things to see. Only downside is the room was stuffy, with only a fan to keep the air moving. Next time I go to Lisbon I will 100% be staying here again!

I just love this place!
