Overall Ratings & Reviews Lisbon RiverView Hostel

Fantastic location! Great views!

Arrived at check in at 10.30pm after a delayed flight into Lisbon. We rang ahead as soon as we landed to say we may be a little after 11pm as that was the latest check in time for the receptionist to say if you’re late we won’t allow you in. Poor service when we got there. I know it was only a hostel but the rooms were an absolute disgrace and would advise anyone considering this to stay well away.

The location is fantastic and the room is pretty clean. The only drawback is the noise but it was manageable. You can not beat it for the price.

It was rather old and basic, but for $50 you get what you pay for. Keep in mind that it is a hostel and not a hotel. The view from the balcony was beautiful and the location was great. The bathrooms were clean. The staff were helpful and available when needed. We would stay again.

Pros:Nice hotel,room with a view,close to attractions,metro and airport bus.Hotel was kept clean all the time (good job Elena!) Cons:flight of stairs (room is at 4th floor)

Great location just off the main high street but not noisy...only downside is the 3-4 flights of stairs to the rooms. Clean rooms, new bath room, good size rooms for a hostel. A big plus is the hostel staff were very welcoming, attentive and nice people. Good value!

This place is a gem. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the location is excellent. It is a budget hostel in an old building with a shared bathroom and shower, and you have to carry your luggage up four flights of steps, but the value is excellent. The rooms open onto a shared balcony with an incredible view of Rua Augusta both up toward the heart of Baixa and down just a few blocks toward the Lisboa Memoria and the riverfront. There are lots of great restaurants in the neighborhood just around the hotel. It's just a short work to the Barrio Alto in one direction and Alfama in the other. Perfect spot.

the most clean hostel we have ever encountered. almost to extremes.... but the room with three bed is so tiny there is no place to stand up. the roads bellow are very busy and noisy.it is impossibe to sleep with an open window in summer and there is no air conditioning. also,all rooms share the same long balcony along the building and the window is a door so it cannot be left open to air when you go out. i think you must write that you need to climb 100 wooden steps to the rooms! especially when people have suitcases and other luguage.it is not a simple climb at all. the ktchen is great but there are hundreds of very cheap eating places just below....

Great hostel. We arrived early in the day and we're able to leave our bags while we went sight seeing. Clean rooms and shared spaces, friendly workers.

Overall the hostel was a pleasant stay with a shared kitchen, small living room space, and two shared bathrooms. Conditions were very clean. Staff were extremely welcoming and assisted with storing luggage upon checkin as well. For the sake of mentioning negatives they were not major and should not be consequential in deciding if you should stay here. I would stay again. The bed was perhaps not the most comfortable but as a hostel it was standard. Also, it should be noted that the five flights of stairs that need to be traversed in order to get to the hostel may not be something everyone will accept. It was fine for me however.

Nice hostel with clean bathrooms. Communal kitchen facilities are really convenient.

My first ever visit to Lisbon was very nice. The hostel is centrally located and I booked for a private room with shared bathroom. My room was on top floor with great views and the price was good too. Bare in mind that there is no lift and that you could end up climbing 5 floors to get to your room. So it is a bit of struggle and you need to be in good shape! The staffs did an amazing job in keeping the place really tidy and they were very helpful. Special mention to Tashi who is a very pleasant young lady and whose advice were really helpful :) If I ever visit Lisbon again I will definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay here .. clean .. bathrooms .. rooms ... kitchen .. our hostess tash was so wonderful and helpful .. only problem (Not for us we're back packing ) but if you have luggage it's four floors up .. so beware lol But honestly location location location. Wonderful experience we wil go back again

Had à great time! The neighbors were à bit noisy but it didn't affect the quality of our stay too much.

Poor insulation, feels like sleeping on the street. I did read some reviews before making the reservation and thought the noise would not be a problem, however, the property is located in downtown and you can constantly hear car horns and people performing on the street, as well as motorcycles passing by and at midnight, you can clearly hear street cleaners. really bad and I hope they quickly change their windows because the location is great.

Good: central location, value for money. Not-so-good: no reception of wifi in our room so had to go to the living room, rather noisy at night as it is central, lots of stairs

climbing 5 floors can be maddening.

Hotel is super clean, close to the historical center, even has a view on the Lisbon Cathedral which is illuminated at night.

Was such a comfy hostel and was in an amazing spot. Excellent facilities were worth the walk up to the 5th floor.

The lady was so nice our flight didn't go in to Lisbon till 11 and so she waited for us to check in at midnight but we did call ahead. Everything is so near to this hostal literally walking distance.
