LISBON HOSTELS
Cheap Accommodation in Lisbon
Until only a few years ago, budget accommodation in Lisbon meant staying at "pensões" or "residenciais," often cheap and basic
family-run properties that were fine for those simply looking for a bed to lie on, but lacked the character and
the fun of the hostels sought by the young independent traveller. All that has changed, and quite dramatically. Lisbon now has several cool hostels featuring modern design right in the center of the city, with some of them even ranking among the world's best. That's according to former guests who have been rating the Portuguese capitals' stylish new hostels at the very top in the world.
Of course GoLisbon.com offers those cool new places as well as the longer-established budget options at incredibly low prices. Use the search form below or to get ideas, see our Top 10 Hostels recommendations at the bottom of this page.

OASIS BACKPACKERS MANSION
This is perhaps
Lisbon's most attractive hostel, located in a mansion by Santa Catarina viewpoint. It is just steps away from the
Bairro Alto and Chiado nightlife, restaurants,
and shopping.

LISBON STORY GUESTHOUSE
Facing Rossio, the main square in Lisbon, the location alone makes this hostel one of the best places to stay in Lisbon for young budget travellers, but it is the characterful interior and the service that makes this a special place to stay. With rooms decorated with different themes ("The Writer," "The Fado Music," "The Seven Hills") paying homage to the city's culture and life, a stay here adds to the Lisbon experience.
-
LISBON OLD TOWN HOSTEL
Plenty of daylight penetrates through the windows of this modern hostel located in Chiado, Lisbon's most fashionable district and at the doorstep of all the Bairro Alto bars, restaurants, and shops. This is a great value.

SHIADO HOSTEL
One of the best located hostels in the city, well furnished and designed by local artists.
-
ALFAMA PATIO
Located in the city's most soulful neighborhood, this Alfama hostel is just a short tram 28 ride away from downtown and just within walking distance to the castle and Alfama's famous viewpoints. Be warned, though: its wonderful patio and sunny terrace may hold you hostage as you'll very likely want to stay lounging in the sun for a large part of your stay.
-
ARTBEAT ROOMS
Colorful artistic, contemporary decoration inspired by artists such as Warhol, Picasso, and Van Gogh, welcomes guests to this very central hostel/bed and breakfast in the heart of the Baixa district.
