Bottom Line
Lisbon Lounge Hostel is situated in the heart of Lisbon, near restaurants, bars, and city sights, just a four-minute walk from the metro and a six-minute walk from Rossio Square. The hostel's chic, artsy-design vibe (think bright murals and vintage accents), roomy lounge spaces, and excellent location make it popular among budget travelers. The hotel's 17 guest rooms are mostly made up of mixed dorms with shared bathrooms, though there are a few private options. Rooms are clean, but they're missing some standard amenities -- lack of in-room Wi-Fi and air-conditioning are the most notable. There are, however, a plethora of freebies like free breakfast, walking tours, pub craws, coffee and tea, and a spacious and well-equipped common kitchen. Travelers may want to compare digs with the nearby Living Lounge Hostel, which is run under the same management.

Colorful, artsy hostel with big kitchen, popular among budget travelers
Colorful wall murals, chandeliers crafted from recycled plastic bottles, and a chic design vibe combine to create a fun and vibrant atmosphere at this popular hostel. It's not surprising that the property is owned and operated by a team of local artists, who also manage another nearby hostel. The property's playful style is announced on arrival with a beautiful, five-story mosaic-tiled facade accented in royal blue. Inside, the light-filled lobby lounge welcomes with tall French door windows, a bright turquoise accent wall, and an eclectic combo of contemporary seating. Vintage touches -- a video arcade machine, a typewriter -- add quirky flair that fits perfectly with the vibe. Near reception, signs announce the hostel's weekly activities, many of them free. This is a popular place among young or budget-conscious travelers looking to be in the city center. Travelers should be aware that this five-story building does not have an elevator.
Location
In the lively Baixa district of central Lisbon, close to many sights
Lisbon Lounge Hostel is situated on a corner of a main thoroughfare and a charming cobblestone pedestrian street in central Lisbon's popular Baixa district, known for it's shops, restaurants, bars, museums, and theaters. Plenty of hotspots are an easy walk from the hostel, including Rossio Square, Chiado's shopping streets, and the night-life heavy Bairro Alto neighborhood. For attractions farther out, the Baixa-Chiado metro station is just a three-minute walk away. Bikes can be rented through the hostel for an extra fee.
- Four-minute walk to Praca do Comercio
- Six-minute walk to Rossio Square
- Nine-minute walk to Restauradores Square
- 10-minute walk to Chiado area
- 13-minute walk to Alfama district
- 15-minute walk to the Castle of Saint Jorge
- 15-minute walk to Bairro Alto nightlife
- 15 minutes to Jeronimos Monastery by public transit
- 26 minutes to Belem Tower by public transit
- 40 minutes to Lisbon International Airport via public transit
Rooms
Spacious, bright, and clean dorms and private rooms, but no AC or Wi-Fi
A minimalist design vibe featuring white walls, hardwood floors, bed covers in bright colors, and artsy accents pervades across the hostel's 17 generously sized guest rooms. These are available as twins, or four- or six-bed mixed dorms, and there's also a twin with attached bathroom and two extra beds -- ideal for families or friends traveling together. Most rooms lack private bathrooms; instead, there are shared bathrooms situated in the hall and fitted with either shower stalls or shower/tub combos. For a hostel in particular, rooms here feel stylish and commendably clean.
In-room amenities are sparse: Some rooms have a sink, or a vintage-style fan, but guests should not expect much more. The biggest downsides are the lack of in-room Wi-Fi and air-conditioning. Unfortunately, ambient street noise and interior noise from within the hostel is also a common complaint among guests.
Features
Freebies include breakfast, Wi-Fi, coffee and tea, and walking tours
Like many hostels, Lisbon Lounge lacks standard hotel property features like a full-service restaurant and bar, but it does provide a host of freebies and services that cater to budget-conscious travelers. The breakfast is basic, and consists of little more than instant coffee, juice, crepes or eggs, bread rolls, jam, and cheese, but it is included in the nightly rate. The main lounge offers a spot for guests to relax and mingle, play a card game, or spin a few records from the vinyl collection on the turntable. This is also the place to access the free Wi-Fi -- it's spotty to non-existent in guest rooms.
The large and stylish common kitchen is handy for travelers who prefer to prepare their own meals, and it's well equipped with a microwave oven, coffee machine, electric kettle, toaster, and dishwasher, plus plenty of spots to sit and dine. Each floor also has a smaller “relax room” with comfy sofas and armchairs, and a computer connected to the internet, and some include kitchenettes. Other freebies include coffee and tea, lockers, and luggage storage.
The hostel fosters a social atmosphere with free activities organized during the week, including pub crawls, walking tours, and a fado music experience. For a reasonable extra fee, guests can also enjoy a three-course in-house Portuguese dinner, or tours to nearby towns like Sintra. Other paid services include bicycle rentals and laundry.
