    Customer Review  

Location is amazing, the employees super-friendly and also the hostel itself is incredibly well-kept!

Very helpful staff, the top advice I&'ve ever gotten in any hostel/hotel. Alex gave me superb tips about what to do in Lisbon and exactly where to travel in Portugal. It was clean and safe, everything worked.

I liked especially the location. The hostel is situated within the city center next to a Metro station and other public transport. I also liked that the breakfast was included and freshly made each morning by really friendly staff. Furthermore, the staff was really friendly and helpful and provided us with outstanding recommendations for our stay.

    Yan Z...  

It&'s the most effective hostel I&'ve ever Stayed. 30 seconds away from city and metro, tram. Free tea and coffee all the time. Most important, they organize different activities every single night. We did one night of wine tasting, one night walking in Alfama during the night. Each and every night, they also propose some Portuguese specialties, like sangria, some soup. I really like there.

    Chris S...  

Nice warm and friendly employees and calm atmosphere. breakfast very very good !

    Gerrit S...  

A great location to stay at. The employees is always friendly and helpful and makes you really feel staying with friends. I&'d say: the extremely best hostel I have been to. (And I have been to dozens in the past few years. )

The staff was very warm and friendly and always provided outstanding recommendations.

    Caterina C...  

The location of this hostel is great, right on one of the principal routes of Central Lisbon for shops and its proximity to means of transport to Belem and also the airport and also the spectacular Placa del Comercio. The staff were really warm and friendly and nice, the rooms really tidy and clean and even the shared bathrooms were spotless. Breakfast was included in the price and was really very good too. Also, each and every night activities related to Portuguese culture have been organized and this allowed solo travellers like me to get to meet people.

Super clean, fantastic and helpful staff, fun activities, wifi everywhere, nice and comfortable beds. Just a excellent place to stay!

    Trevor M...  

The employees was outstanding along with the hostel was very clean. Excellent location. This was, by far, the most effective hostel I have ever been to. Each night, the employees organized special events. It was very inviting. The environment of the hostel was nice and relaxed. Perfect for meeting new people. The breakfast service was excellent! And they even did my laundry for &€6. The morning of my checkout, I woke up extremely late for my flight. The employees helped me have a look at quickly and had a cab ready for us. Thanks to him, we made it to our flight just in the knick of time. That&'s just one example of how the employees goes above and beyond to help the travellers. I HIGHLY recommend this hostel to anyone travelling to Lisbon.

    Tefesehet M...  

It is one of the extremely best hostels I have stayed at. I have stayed at a lot. The staff is super friendly and also the location was spotless. The locations is best as it is situated within the middle of the city close to the train and all of the attractions.

The private room on the last top floor had an awesome view on the Arco de rua Augusta and also the Pra&ça de Comercio. It was large enough and clean.

    Spencer C...  

The second we walked in the door we were greeted with the excitement and kindness of old friends. The employees were above and beyond helpful throughout our stay making sure our time was utilized the most. Hostel had a outstanding setting to meet individuals and make friends. Breakfast was cooked for you in the morning and also the dishes taken care of after. Everything you could think of needing as a backpacker the hostel covered it - right down to battery packs for your phone for the day. We ran into Alex on the metro on our way to the airport during his day off and he gave us both a hug and a great bye. The individuals here really care. Gonzolo&'s nightly outings were fantastic and he is so knowledgeable.

Lisbon › Hotel

Travellers house lisbon.

Lisbon is the world's hostel capital, regularly dominating annual awards for the very best of this type of accommodation. Among those always riding high in the rankings is Traveller's House, a backpacker classic since it opened in 2006 in a 250-year-old block on the Rua Augusta, in the heart of the downtown Baixa neighborhood. For a cheap party vibe, grab a bunk in one of the brightly colored dorms. Those looking for more privacy can choose en-suite rooms or one of four studios that offer all the charms of a fancy boutique hotel—including azulejos and exposed woodwork built after the 1755 earthquake. The place is relaxed and fun, with the cozy lounges filled with comfy sofas and beanbags for chilling. Travellers House also hosts regular events,  from Portuguese wine-tasting to Segway trips around the city. The cool staff seek to make your stay feel like crashing at a friend's place—except that the rooms are actually clean and comfortable, the bed linens crisp, and there's a free breakfast waiting in the morning.

Travellers House Hostel, Lisbon – A Review

It is so rare that I get the chance to ever feel at home in a hostel. The reason being that I spend to little time in each one. So when I find this ‘home away from home’, it is only right to shout about it. Lisbon has a reputation for having some of the best hostels, not only in Europe but in the world. With so many hostels having high reviews, it was hard to choose. Eventually, I found Travellers House and I instantly knew this was where I wanted to stay. It turned out to be the best hostel I have stayed in, in Western Europe.

Address – Rua Augusta 89, 1100-048 Lisboa

What Made Travellers House So Great?

The location.

My hostel is often the last thing I organise before any trip. First, I decide which restaurants I want to eat in , then what I want to see. This gives me a good idea of what part of the city I want to stay in. Lisbon, as I said previously, is known for having great hostels. However, most seemed to be just a little bit out of the city centre. This meant spending a lot of time walking or constantly using public transport. Luckily, I found Travellers House. It was right in the heart of everything I had planned. Located on Rua Augusta, the main pedestrian street in Lisbon, the hostel couldn’t have been any more central if they tried.

The hostel had fantastic views of Comercio Square from the balcony. This made it a fantastic place to watch the locals and tourists go about their day. Metro stations, Baixa-Chiado and Terriero Do Paco, were within a few minutes walking distance. The tram to Belem went from less than a hundred metres away. Rossio Train Station was also just under five minutes away, perfect for my early start when heading to Sintra for the day. The location of Travellers House was what originally sold it to me, and I was not left disappointed. I can only think of a handful of hostels that I have stayed in where the location has been as good.

Daily Activities

It is always good when a hostel puts on extra activities. It shows the staff care about the guests and wants them to have a good time. Travellers House does a nightly event, sometimes inside the hostel and other times out in the city. On my first night, there was a Portuguese wine tasting night. 10 bottles of wine were shared between guests in the hostel common area. It proved to be a great night, as you might imagine, and a fantastic way to meet and interact with other guests. During my stay, there was a stroll to the hills of Alfama. This included a fado show and some food. Each activity seemed to cost €6.50 but that represents great value considering it’s all you will probably spend that night.

It was the staff that ran each of the nightly activities. This was a great way for them to meet the guests and for the guests to get more comfortable with the workers. They always greeted guests with a “hello” or “good morning”. They were ever present to answer any questions I had, whether it was about the trams or directions, etc. Having good staff in a hostel can make your stay so much more comfortable. There is nothing worse than feeling like you have to walk on eggshells around staff who close themselves off from guests.

The Amazing Free Breakfast

It happens way too often, a hostel advertises a free breakfast and you arrive at something slightly different than what you imagined. I have stayed in hostels where their idea of a free breakfast was stale bread and mouldy jam. Travellers House is a long way from that though. Each morning, guests get to choose from one of three breakfast items. Crepes with chocolate, scrambled eggs, bacon and toast or yoghurt, fruit and cereal. Your choice is then prepared fresh by the two women working in the kitchen and brought to you in the dining room. Tea and coffee are also provided. All they ask guests to do is return their dirty dishes to the kitchen when finished. It is not often I look forward to a hostel breakfast like I did in Lisbon.

The Perfect Layout

A hostel can try their hardest for guests but without the right layout, it just doesn’t work. Every hostel needs a good common room. This is vital for guests to interact with each other. Travellers House has three areas for guests to chill. One is the main common area, which has a couch, a few bean bags, chairs and music playing throughout the day. There is a dining room with one big table for groups to gather around and a few others that sit approximately six people on each. Finally, there is a tv room, holding a couple of seats and a tv to unwind and maybe watch a movie. Having multiple common rooms also meant that if guests don’t want to take part in activities they are not forced into their dorm rooms.

The Other Positives of Staying at Travellers House

Travellers House has plenty of other plus points. There is a fully-equipped kitchen that is free for use once breakfast has finished. They provide free towels and locks for each guest upon checking in. The lock is for the under-bed lockers which also have a safe in them. At the reception, there is a fridge containing beer, water and soda for guests to take. Each cost €1.50 and the balance is paid at check-out. This also encouraged people to mix, as they could sit and have a beer together. The showers and bathrooms are divided by gender and there are plenty to go around. The beds are comfortable. Computers are free to use, as well as having the option of printing. Luggage storage is also available to guests.

A big priority seemed to be the safety of the guests. Each room, whether it was a dorm or private, needed a card to enter and staff had to buzz you into the hostel every time. It makes sense, especially given how busy the street was outside the hostel.

What Travellers House Could Improve On

Maybe one slight improvement could be the beds, or more accurately, my bed. The bed itself was very comfortable but made a lot of noise every time I moved. This didn’t seem to happen with anyone else. It can get annoying when you are trying to be quiet in the mornings or when other guests are asleep. Apart from that though, it was an excellent hostel to stay in. I wouldn’t have to think twice about returning if I found myself in Lisbon again!

The 10 Best Hotels In Lisbon

All products and services featured are independently selected by forbes vetted contributors and editors. when you make a purchase through links on this page, we may earn a commission. learn more, dobrina zhekova , contributor, forbes vetted.

L isbon's rich cultural heritage and beautiful cityscape—the city was famously built on seven hills—are a magnet for travelers from around the globe. From its narrow cobblestone streets lined with Portuguese “pastelarias” (pastry shops) to its independent boutiques and small restaurants serving the freshest catch of the day, Old World charm can be found on every corner. Meanwhile, the city’s contemporary side is reflected in its vibrant culinary scene (over a dozen of its restaurants are Michelin-rated), new museums, art galleries and designer showrooms.

The list of the best hotels in Lisbon has become increasingly competitive, with new properties popping up at a frequent pace and classics undergoing rapid renovations. Newcomer Altis Belém Hotel & Spa has already a loyal clientele, while Santiago de Alfama , a former palace, has been transformed into a sleek luxury escape. The Bairro Alto Hotel emerged from renovations with a trendy rooftop attracting guests and locals alike, while the Four Seasons Ritz is the city's first true luxury property, offering an unparalleled experience honed over decades of welcoming guests. Below, the best hotels in Lisbon in 2024.

Best High-End Hotel In Lisbon: Four Seasons Ritz

Best boutique hotel in lisbon: santiago de alfama, best value hotel in lisbon: palacio das especiarias, hotel with the best location in lisbon: bairro alto hotel, best hotel in lisbon for romance: olissippo lapa palace, best hotel in lisbon for families: martinhal lisbon oriente, best hotel in lisbon for design lovers: the lumiares hotel & spa, best spa and wellness hotel in lisbon: epic sana lisboa, hotel with the best views in lisbon: tivoli avenida da liberdade, hotel with the best amenities in lisbon: altis belém hotel & spa.

In the sleek lobby, a sophisticated palette of golden yellows highlights a museum-worthy collection of Portuguese mid-century tapestries and paintings.

Four Seasons Ritz

Who Will Love It: Travelers with a taste for all things luxe; lovers of mid-century modern design

All-Star Amenities: Outdoor seasonal pool deck and heated indoor lap pool; a spa; four restaurants and lounges, including a Michelin-starred restaurant; outdoor rooftop running track

What Not To Miss: Dinner at Michelin-starred Cura

Location: Avenidas Novas

Lisbon's Four Seasons outpost may have a brutalist facade, but inside, the hotel is a mid-century dream. Perched on a hill in a quiet neighborhood just a block away from the exquisite Parque Eduardo VII (the city's largest), it affords miles of unobstructed views over Lisbon's cityscape of terracotta rooftops. In the sleek lobby, a sophisticated palette of golden yellows highlights a museum-worthy collection of Portuguese mid-century tapestries, sculptures and oil paintings from some of the country's most renowned artists, like Almada Negreiros, after whom the hotel's elegant lounge was named.

The mid-century aesthetic continues in the guest rooms and suites with clean lines and graphic shapes, clad in sleek furniture with pops of deep greens, blues and orange, all with marble bathrooms and private balconies with expansive views of the city and the park. Speaking of the views, even if working out on vacation is not your thing, you should check out the open-air running track that loops around the expansive rooftop and rewards runners with breathtaking vistas.

The Santiago Suite boasts a modern bathroom with a freestanding tub and rainshower that overlooks the Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora.

Santiago de Alfama

Who Will Love It: Urban dwellers seeking eclectic design and tranquility in one of Lisbon's oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods

All-Star Amenities: All-day restaurant; beauty salon; pillow menu; turndown service; 24-hour room service; complimentary Wi-Fi; soaking tubs; rain showers

What Not To Miss: Lunch on the terrace of the hotel's all-day eatery Audrey's, which uses ingredients grown in the property's vegetable garden

Location: Alfama

With as competitive a boutique hotel scene as there is in Lisbon, it takes truly impeccable service and unwavering attention to detail to stand out. Santiago de Alfama, a 19-key stay housed in a former 15th-century workhouse nestled on a quiet cobblestone street in the city's oldest area, has caught the eye of well-heeled travelers with its authenticity, luxury touches, prime location and warm hospitality. While the family-run property has plenty of historic charm—the Roman ruins it sits on are part of the interior—it oozes a serene sense of modernity perfectly in sync in this thousands-year-old neighborhood.

Each guest room is awash in natural light and features original artwork, décor and textiles sourced from as far as India (don’t miss the custom house stationery in every room). Book the Santiago Suite and wake up to spectacular views over Alfama and the Tejo River. There, a modern bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, double vanities and a rainfall shower looks out to a post-card perfect view of the breathtaking Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora.
