8Verified guest“The staff were incredibly helpful and always available, going out of their way to answer any questions. The balconies were comfortable for relaxing, and the laundry service was a big convenience. The whole place was spotlessly clean, and being able to make coffee in the mornings was a nice extra.”
8Verified guest“I had a really enjoyable stay in a private room. It was nicely updated with a beautiful balcony and a clean, modern bathroom, though it wasn't serviced often. The staff responded quickly when I asked for more toilet roll. The location wasn't right in the centre but within walking distance, and Lisbon's hills added to the charm. Despite some noise, it was a comfortable stay.”
8Verified guest“Great location with charming decor and a lovely terrace. The staff were helpful, and the rooms were spacious with windows that opened to a cool breeze. The breakfast spread on the balcony was convenient, and the view of typical tiled buildings was beautiful. It exceeded my expectations.”
8Verified guest“The location was convenient, close to the metro and within easy reach of the city centre, with many attractions nearby. The rooms were clean, the interiors nicely decorated, and the beds comfortable. The kitchen facilities were clean and handy for self-catering.”
8Verified guest“I loved this hostel. Amazing staff, clean rooms, and a good location with easy metro access. It was better than my previous stay in Lisbon. Poets Inn is top-notch.”
8Verified guest“This was a great choice for our Lisbon stay. The location was convenient, with the city centre just a short walk away, plus nearby markets and restaurants. The staff were welcoming, the lounge area relaxing, and the kitchen well-equipped for cooking meals.”
