Hostel Lisbon Calling

Vera is very welcoming! check in and check out went smoothly. The room itself was very sweet and quiet. Location is perfect, very close to the main attractions. I would be happy to come back

The hostess was very nice and helpful. Sent me a lot of things on what to do of activities. Always answering any question I had.

Liked everything

Location, location, location PLUS Laura the owner was super with recommendations for places to visit. Location was within meters of Time Out Market, Pink Street and most importantly Metro, Rail and Ferry terminal.

Superb location in the city center, nice furnishing, and hassle-free self check-in process. The shared bathroom is not a problem, you can even see if it's occupied from your bedroom (the Buddha by the door will tell you). Great value for money.

Walls are thin, you can easily hear the other guests moving around the house.

The hotel is very well located, a stone's throw from the center and easy to reach by metro from the airport. The rooms are spacious, clean and with a very interesting style. The common space for breakfast is functional and has everything you need. The staff were friendly, willing to help and superbly courteous.

Honestly, everything was in line or over the expectation and there is very little of which I could complain.

The room is big and pretty clean, very quiet at night. It's near the metro and all the cool stuff. Chatting with the host Vera was easy and quick. Check-in was smooth, no issues.

The room had red lights, and the bathroom had a disco ball. At night, there are a lot of drunk or homeless people around. In the morning, no shops or coffee places are open before 8 o'clock. There's only one hairdryer for all the guests in the property.

Lovely, quirky, unique property, always like to find something a bit out of the ordinary. Very comfortable and spacious. amazing location. Staff friendly and helpful. Basic self serve breakfast provided and kitchen facilities so if you want you can buy your own bits to add to the basic breakfast.

Nothing really, having a portable air con unit / extra fans in rooms would have been helpful and I would say a must in warmer months .

It's quite exquisite. The room was very spacious, the bathroom quite small. Nevertheless, everything was very clean and the kitchen was suitably equipped with everything you might need. Every room has got a separate space in the fridge, that came in quite handy. Breakfast can be enjoyed on the small balcony.

Lighting in the room could have been better - the ceiling lamp had a red cover and wasn't very bright. But that's nohting to really complain about. 1st world problem.

Bed was comfortable, wifi was intermittent depending on where you stood in the room. No real place to put luggage. Some outlets did not work. Vera was wonderful and very helpful.

Outlets should work. Perhaps a place for luggage and much better wifi.

Location close to metro and just next to a minimarket, nicely decorated and sufficiently spacious room, nice common room, breakfast with bread, cheese, butter, jam, yogurt and cereal included, 24h check-in due to code at entrance.

Rooms are part of one big apartment, so depending on other guests it can be a bit noisy (no sounds can be heard from the street though), weekday breakfast starts only at 8.30 (and effectively at 8.40).

Too many ppl share one bathroom

The location is amazing! Walking distance to everywhere, and near a train station to go to Belém and Cascais. The staff was very friendly.

During the night the main hall was super dark, we had to use our cellphones to find our room. The shower was a bit clogged.

Very unique and great location

Breakfast was a bit small

Exceptionally lovely and nicely decorated interior and rooms, very spacious; really nice and helpful staff; great location for sightseeing trips (close to center and metro/train/ferry but a bit shabby neighbourhood); kitchen ready to use

Beware, this is a hostel, so you will share the kitchen; the private bathrooms (every room of the three has one) are outside the main room; also, it is one huge old appartment (turned into a hostel) so you will hear other people coming and going (a bit like living in a very beautiful shared flat); breakfast was good but minimalistic

The location was 10/10, owner was very responsible and friendly. There were supermarket and coffees shops right downstairs and metro station just 3mins walk. Almost all main tourist spots were in walking distance.

I can't say this was very bad but definitely not many people like this and I wished I had mentally prepared. The decorations were terrifying especially the lights they used. It was so weird that they used sharp blue, red, orange and yellow lights. Even in room the biggest lamp was in red and it really freaked me out as we arrived at midnight. And there was a party ball in the bathroom which made me feel not so uncomfortable with all the decorations.

Vera (host) was really helpful and friendly. Rooms were on 3.rd floor with elevator. I really liked the interior of the rooms (kitchen, shared bathroom). Shared bathroom was cozy (like in the apartment). Continental breakfast was good (bread, butter, yogurt, juice, jam, cheese).

Only negative thing was the floor, which was squeaky when moving around, so we heard everyone walking outside our room.

super cute place, very nicely decorated and very comfortable. we enjoyed the mornings especially when you could hear the birds sing through the window. Breakfast was basic but a nice start to the day : )

only minus was that it did’t have stuff like shower gel and shampoo

Great location, quirky room the kids LOVED. Decor is very cool and it's great ro have access to a kitchen. Staff was really lovely, especially the lady who organized breakfast and went out of her way to make my kids comfortable. It's right by the time out market. Parking was very close and convenient (pre paid online).

Worth being aware that it's an old building so you do hear the other rooms and people coming in and out. Bring earplugs. Bathroom wasn't attached to the room which was fine for us

Location and Vera. Was excellent helpful

We loved our stay and Vera was really helpfull whit all our guestions.

As soon as you step out of the hostel, you're in a lively area, especially at the night time. Vera was super helpful with anything, including playing games with our toddler. Talking of which, this hostel is probably not the best choice for traveling with a baby, yet we had a double en-suite room which was big enough, and we stayed for one night anyway, so all well for one night with us. The hotel has the most interesting decoration I've ever seen in any accommodation - in a good way! There is close-by private parking for €24 / 24h. On streets it is residential parking zone - do not leave your car.

The bathroom had some smell.

Quirky, fun & different decor with stone & original features effect. Fab location for restaurants, metro & down town. Excellent instructions for (late arrival) access to property Fresh & tasty continental b/fast Staff especially Olga(b/fast) really sweet, hospitable & kind. Didn’t get to meet Vera but she was available, efficient, helpful & good via txt message.

We were in ‘Our Room’ double bed & en-suite shower/ toilet Not much extra storage/cupboard space for clothes etc but fine for light minimal luggage for short stays. May get warm & humid in high summer without AC. One window opens onto internal central courtyard so overlooks wall view.

I liked the private bathroom and toilett. Like the spacous room of mine, and the tasty breakfast.

I had no air conditioning, and opening the window wasn't an option because the neighbourhood was loud. But this is a minor issue.

Great property, Vera was so helpful and friendly. Room was huge we had so much space and the kitchen facilities are handy. Good location, we lively area with bars and restaurants.

It is an old building so a little noisy at night.

location

stairs

This is my second time because I loved it so much! love the disco ball bathroom

the cleaning lady did not communicate effectively and came across very rude

The breakfast could have more variety of products but it was ok..

The noise from the upper floor. I know that it wasn't your fault but it is really annoying to wake up at 7.50 with such noise on my 3 nights vacations! I appreciate the fact that you tried to give a solution

We like design of your place, the view and the location.

Staff, comfort and cleanliness were all perfect

Location was great for what we wanted but it was very loud.

perfect location, special rooms with nice atmosphere, cozy breakfast room

more fresh breskfast options would be Great

the hostel was perfectly clean and well located. the two staff women were incredibly amazing, nice, welcoming and helping.

Location was very central, lots of bars and restaurants at your doorstep, close to metro and good links to other neighborhoods. Double room was beautiful and clean. Property very quirky. Breakfast, which was included in price, was tasty. Kitchen and shared bathroom were clean and well equipped (hairdryer, towels). Staff was friendly and helpful. Despite VERY central location it was quiet. Room was facing the inner courtyard, which I preferred compared to the party and street noise.

Hostel is split into two parts: 4x double rooms where I stayed and larger rooms with nice shared space visible on the photos. I had no access to the shared space, which was fine for a short stay but in case of bad weather or a longer stay would have been annoying. My bed was a sofa bed and was very making a lot of noise.

you can have your breakfast whenever you like nice decoration

complicated check-in process: the owner made as transfer the money via paypal before sending us the door code, refused to use the credit card given during booking!

Wonderful atmosphere and amazingly helpful and kind staff! Location is perfect, central and easy to reach.

Lisbon is noisy and between trams and happy partying youth the night is not of the quietest so keep your windows closed.

The people working here are fab! Renata & particularly Vera (who we got to know a little more) during our stay are lovely bubbly people! Vera is a breath of fresh air with her humour & laughter :) The room (Fresco) where we stayed is huge. The bed was comfy & the old style decor with plants & small lamps scattered around make it cosy.

The creaky floor boards from adjacent rooms are a bit annoying when you are trying to sleep but I guess this is an old building so it's part of it's fabric.

Friendly staff and location

Lovely deco, clean, spacious. Common kitchen nice for breakfast. Location excellent!

Leakage in the bathroom, though it should be temporary...

Lisbon Calling has a quirky style and the family room we had was incredibly big. The seperate private bathroom was a very good size too!

Nothing we very much liked it.

Simple but good range.

Limited quantity for 6 people having breakfast. Earlier start time would have been helpful.

I did like staff, very friendly. They allowed us to check in quicker, appreciate.

The way from room to toilet, but still okay.

Location is just amazing. We love the “strange” atmosphere of this hostel, long corridor, nice decoration, cosy kitchen, and the little Buddha to indicate you if the bathroom is free is just the best (you will understand when you get there, private rooms only).

the room was quite small, the temperatures were ok as this was September but i can imagine very painful nights because of the heat during summer.

Big room, cute interior with a lot of fun attention to detail, super clean, great location and friendly staff.

the room has enough space to maybe add a closet or some other storage space :)

Clean and nice staffs. Location was great

They don’t have aircon

Excellent location, the place is amazing. Vera is a super host, very kind and nice. Hope to come back soon!

The accommodation was absolutely unique!

I loved the aesthetic for the property, it was so quaint and quirky and such a unique experience. The room I stayed in felt more like a suite so considering it was marketed as a hostel, I was very pleasantly surprised. The location was great and was very easy to get around Lisbon and there were lots of great places to eat nearby. The free breakfast was the cherry on top, as well as the very helpful tourist info form the lovely host Vera.

The local area has a very vibrant nightlife so if you are someone who likes to sleep with the window open and can’t sleep with any noise then you may wish to reconsider. I can fall asleep pretty easily and not much keeps me up so I had a great sleep but there were a few nights where someone was singing very loudly until the early morning and I think this might have been via microphone at a local bar, which wasn’t ideal!

We only had a layover in this place and for this purpose the place definitely served right. The staff (Vera) contacted a few days prior to arrival and gave instructions for automatic check-in and helped with ordering a taxi for our departure to the airport next day early morning. The place was absolutely clean and the kitchen seemed to be very well equipped.

Our room faced the central street and square, and it was a bit noisy through the night. Ear-plugs may help if you are sensitive to noise. But in other rooms it may be quiter.

Comfortable bed with a loft bed above for the children. Great breakfast and a wonderful communal kitchen space. 2 showers and 2 toilets down the hall from our room with 3 beds. Friendly staff that let us leave our bags for the day after checkout.

The room was hot even with a fan going. Walking through the check in area to get to our bathroom was not ideal but the place is funky that way like a hostel.

Very nice retro place, very comfortable and cozy. The area is really alive with many restaurants, bars, next to pink street, next to Time Out market with many choices of food, next to the train to Couscais and the river! Very comfortable that next to the river there is a running root for runners...easy to reach in two minutes.Satisfying breakfast and nice kitchen where you can cook if you want.The people are very polite and helpful.

The location, the hospitality & the style.

The hallway bathrooms & the blue room was a little small for 4 people.
