Urban Garden Hostel

It didn't have common area to hang after 11pm.

Nice common main room, possibility to eat for diner at the hostel (7€), so it's easy so find people to talk with here. large fridge, 24/24 opening, relatively quit. Near from subwaystation, 15-20mn to walk from the citycenter throught the main/peacefull and beautiful avenue of Lisbon. And Emily who is a smiling member of the crew :)

WC only inside same space than showers, so it's a little bit difficult to go to toilets in the morning when many people are using showers. Breakfast is really basic but ok (milk, flakes, bread and marmelade, not even a juice) Some dorm's doors need to be oiled (but it's not that terrible) My booking was about a "queen size" bunk bed, but i got only a normal little size in my dorm.

Staff were always helpful and suggested really good tours. Beds were comfortable, lots of storage room under beds. Easy access to metro station and you can walk to sights of interest.

Very noisy street even late at night. Hostel is very much a party crowd. Lots of alcohol available. "Garden" is in name only. There is an enclosed patio for smokers, but door and windows are left open so smoke isn't contained. Rooms are quite crowded. Breakfast is minimal, consisting of corn flakes or chocolate flakes, prepackaged (not fresh) white bread, jam, nutella and instant coffee. You can bring your own food to supplement which I did. Supper is available for 7€ but isn't served until 9 pm.
