Reviewed Sep 16, 2026Estaba limpio y el personal fue muy amable. Descansamos bien ya que también había mucho silencio y la cama era cómoda. Solo pasamos una noche que nos facilitó el descanso en nuestra escala en Lisboa y poder visitar un poco la ciudad.
Había un plato de ducha en la habitación, lo cual no esperábamos ya que la habitación era con baño compartido (el sanitario sí era compartido). Por un lado, se agradece el plus de tener la ducha en la habitación, pero era un poco extraño tener un plato una ducha en la habitación sin ninguna barrera visual con el resto de la estancia ni extractor de humedad. La habitación olía ligeramente a humedad debido a esto y a que era una planta baja.

Reviewed Sep 16, 2026La comunicazione con l'ostello è stata buona e ho potuto fare il check in anche in serata. Il check out invece è alle 12. Lo staff è premuroso e cordiale. La stanza era spaziosa e climatizzata. C'erano asciugamani puliti, 2 bottiglie d'acqua e un piccolo frigorifero a disposizione. In bagno sapone liquido e dispenser di bagnoschiuma.
La stanza era buia con solo una piccola finestra che dava verso l'interno del palazzo. Le stanze sono tutte molto vicine e poco isolate e soprattutto durante la notte c'era parecchio rumore. La zona è buona ma un po' lontana dal centro. Le aree comuni hanno la moquette che trattiene molta polvere.

Unica pecca un odore un po' sgradevole nei bagni, è tutto pulitissimo ma probabilmente risale dalle fogne. Nelle camere comunque non si sente

The windows face the inner courtyard; while the view isn't particularly attractive, it completely blocks out street noise. Be aware that the kitchen facilities are basic—there is no stove or oven, only a microwave. I was pleasantly surprised by the in-room shower; I had expected a shared bathroom, but only the toilet was shared. Thank you for a lovely stay—Katka and Petr Linhart.

Reviewed Aug 12, 2026L’hôtel est un peu éloigné du centre mais il y a le métro et des bus très proches. A pied, cela fait une quarantaine de minutes de marche, ce qui se fait aussi. Le personnel est très aimable et poli, ils sont là pour vous aider, ce qui est appréciable. C’est le point fort de l’hôtel. La chambre est très spacieuse, le lit est plutôt confortable, et il y a un mini frigo et une douche dans la chambre. Il y a une laverie juste à côté aussi.
La douche dans la chambre avait de vieux joints, qui semblaient sales par conséquent. Par ailleurs, cela créé de l’humidité dans la chambre donc il faut bien penser aérer/utiliser l’AC. Les lavabos et les toilettes sont partagés. Les toilettes avaient aussi un espace douche, qui semblait souvent peu propre, ce qui est dommage. L’ensemble a un aspect un peu vieillot. Concernant l’AC, je l’ai allumé une nuit car il faisait trop chaud et comme il s’est situé juste au-dessus de la tête de lit, je suis tombée malade et j’ai eu une rhino-pharyngite :( donc faites attention.

Reviewed Jul 10, 2026Our stay at Amor Lisboa Hostel was wonderful! The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a short stay.
One thing to keep in mind is that it’s about a short walk to the city center. However, if you don’t mind walking, it’s actually a nice way to experience the city and see how the locals live and work. If you prefer to get there more quickly, Uber is very affordable and makes getting around easy.
