Alves Torgo 14 Lisbon Guest House

The location is nice and safe, you have a market pretty close, we found a little terrace where we would drink our coffee every morning with 1€/each. What was nice about the house is the garden in the back that was a bless for us, as smokers. Also it has a small kitchen where you can make food and you have everything you need at your disposal.

The room had a pretty strong smell of mold, due the very high humidity of the place. Unfortunately, tha bathroom had an even worse smell, no matter how much spray we would use. The room was very tiny, however it had what was needed. I would have added a closet as we only kept our clothes on the chair or in the luggage. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything happening in the other rooms, for us it was a bit diturbing as you feel you have absolutely no privacy. However, for a hostel it is expected. Also, one day happened to remain without any battery on my phone and you can only enter the house using a code, therefore I lost the code and kept on knocking at the door. There was an employee but she wouldn't open because these were the rules of the house. It was not like she couldn't have checked if I really am a guest or a stranger, but the main problem is she wouldn't speak english. However, she kept on yelling at me in portuguese even after I entered my room. Later, i tried making peace with ther out of good manners, but she had none, she wouldn't even look at me, and believe me i said nothing to her expect for "it would have been nice if you would have opened the door, not to break my fingers knocking for 20 minutes".
