    Without doubt the best hostel in Lisbon for a short, it longer stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 6 nights
    • Submitted from a mobile device

    One toilet in the ladies’ block kept getting blocked in the morning. A notice may be required for eine guests not to throw white paper towels into it.

    Superb breakfast. Pancake mix; eggs to prepare an omelette; fresh juice; delicious bread; good coffee. Quiet pleasant ambient music. Staff present 8 am to 10 pm. Very clean. Wonderful Communal lounge and kitchen. Huge fridges. Rooftop terrace open to guests all day after after it closed at night to outsiders. Guests cooked food, left items for others to use labelling them “free”. Outside of hostel buzzing street with restaurants, live music, shops selling unique art, Sundays a food market.

    Smelly bathrooms

    Great kitchen, AC in summer, very comfy beds. It's still a very new hostel (half a year old). The decoration was incredibly cool.

    A cool space, with very boot vibes :D
    • Business trip

    • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I missed a tv, and the noise outside the window (of air-condition? or something related to the bars around?) was a bit annoying (for someone who has trouble falling asleep :P)

    I have to confess that, judging from the outside photo of the hostel, I was not expecting it would be so good. I had a very positive surprise! The room was comfortable and all the accommodation very clean; the staff were very nice and helpful; good breakfast. I've enjoyed it very much!

    As the capsules are quite closed, a bit more fresh air in the dorm would have provided better sleep.

    clean, tasteful interior, well-equipped kitchen, various breakfast options, lots of sunlight and cosy common area. The matras in the dorm is quite comfy, capsule has a large storage box that can be locked, which is very useful! Showers are great! I was there when the hostel was at full capacity, yet I never had the idea that it was crowded or too busy, which is really nice. Of course the rooftop is amazing for having breakfast, doing your yoga or chilling at the end of the day.

    Locking boxes are very noisy, if somebody needs to open it during the night, the whole hostel wakes up. None of the sightseeings are available by foot, though great location for somebody who knows how to use Lisbon public transport.

    The whole concept is made beautifully, the beds are made in capsule style, everybody has its own locking box. Well-equiped kitchen, not bad breakfast. In neighbourhood there are a lot of shops, cafes, bus and tram stations. Lidl is in 2 minute walk. Also the hostel has rooftop bar that is very nice though overcrowded during the day.

    The breakfast was simple but good, with bread. You can also make eggs or pancakes and if you want you can buy any other stuff you like too. The rooftop is a very amazing place to eat or relax. The whole atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. The other guests as well as the stuff werw friendly and open minded. The whole lx factory is a very cool and artful location.

    Very relaxed atmosphere, not a party hostel (or at least we were lucky!). I loved the privacy curtains in the dorm and the fact that the locker was at the back of the bed so there is no need to lock it every second plus it doubles as a night stand. Friendly staff specially the furry one! 🐶 Located in a great spot, full of bars and restaurants and a short ride away from city centre. (-) There is a weird/strong smell in the cubicles, probably from the detergent they use to wash the linen or some cleaning product. Nothing major but worth to mention.

    No hot water for the shower. And when asking to the staf to fix it, they just said the would call someone but then that person supposedly had their wife dying which is sad but seems like they were the only person in the whole city who could repair the problem so they didn't call anyone else and for 4 nights (and maybe more) the hostel had no hot water for everyone. At best, lukewarm water. 3 euros to rent a towel, expensive. Really strong and bad sewer smell. If you wanna experience Lisbon, this hostel is really far from the city centre. Even with public transport, it's not 15 or 20 minutes. The mattress gave me back pain. I am a seasoned backpacker and can handle the cheapest mattress but this one was really bad.

    The place is clean, the staff is polite and the breakfast is nice. That's all I can say about it.

    In the pictures, the sleeping cabins look very nice. But in reality, it is not like that: you have to get dressed lying down, it is so low that you enter like in a tent. The walls are made of cardboard, you can hear everything: footsteps in the corridor, loud conversations from the living room. No one respects the silence of the night, not even the staff. There is a freezer in the corridor from which the staff takes out ice by slamming the freezer door. I felt like I was sleeping at a train station. The noise from the street is less annoying than loud conversations at the reception. After a whole day of sightseeing, there is no way to rest. Breakfasts are very modest, weak. The bathrooms are dirty and smelly.

    great location, very atmospheric hotel with a terrace with a beautiful view of Lisbon

    An extra bench in the bathroom would be handy. I'd also have the ac a few degrees colder. Felt stuffy and hot in the bunk

    Some staff are careless and not efficient "Free sangria" consists of one pitcher of transparent pink sangria for the whole hostel (runs out before you can even see it) Extremely high price point (40€ a night for a dorm bunk bed) and the towel is not even included (an extra 3.5€!) The mattress is very uncomfortable and hurts your back

    Special location inside LX factory yet far from the city center Friendly staff Clean bathrooms

    When I woke up the day after I was bitten all over my body, so I can only imagine it’s bed bugs, which is horrible and now I’m so scared I have brought them home, I have my whole life upside down because of this. And I paid 49 euros for only one night in a cubicle, the bathroom had stuff from other people in the showers, no natural light in the room and it smelled, all of that for me to be bitten. Also the breakfast was very poor.
