Santos Hostel - Lisbon

Nice Voucher for Breakfast. Clean , simple and very cheap accomodation. Nice for a few nights.

In the night it was too loud when the window was opened. But in a full 9 people room it needed for the most of the time to be open.

Location close to metro station and easy access from airport with one line. Check-in was ok with friendly staff. The owner was a trouble shooter and took care of some of the issues, She had suggested us the places to eat in the back street, very nice quiet place. Breakfast at the near cafe was ok, basic but can have it any time of the day, which was convenient. Two elevators in the building and there are few hostels and lawyer's office, One elevator was always functional, so it was easy to go to 8th floor. Very nice view of Lisbon from the roof top ( there was construction left over stuff in the balcony but we were able to stand and see the city at night). A nice park close by.

Initially the room assigned was not the one we had booked, with private bathroom , ac and cupboard. The floor had construction and dust and there was no air con. After discussing with the owner/manager, she was able to fix the problem and had moved us to a newly renovated room with kitchen and sitting place. It was not completely done yet and we were not able to use the balcony but the room was fresh and with nice beds and microwave. The air con was still an issue as there was a small unit which was not helpful to keep the temperature cool. But on the 2nd day, we were able to borrow 2 more units which helped a bit , although not a lot. There were mosquitoes if we opened the windows. but were told that they were not dangerous, The dust from the construction and smoke in the city got us and made us sick ( we all are sensitive to dust and smoke). We had booked the place for one day but ended up staying for 3 days of our stay due to the problem solving and friendly attitude of the owner.Thank you.
