What I liked the most is that the Kitchen is fully equipped. There was a hand blender so we could make soup on one of the rainy evenings. I also liked the fact that the other guests were very friendly. The house keeping lady is very sweet and helpful.
We did not want to be in the prime touristy location because we were not interested in shopping or night life. We enjoyed walking to the parks and the castle from the hostel. I can recommend it to guests who are travelling to Lisbon for a longer period and like walking.
