Alface Hall Hostel & Bar

Great location but extremely hard to get any sleep here - on a busy street with bars open late every night. Room gets very hot - no AC just a small fan provided. The building has a very musty smell. Showers are too hot.

Cockroaches in the women’s shower. Bugs flying around the room. Located right above a street with many bars- music plays till 2am, super difficult to fall asleep. Staff were not friendly. Bathroom smelled awful. If you have a few extra $$ to spend I recommend going elsewhere.

A beautiful old building with both private and dorm rooms. Shared bathrooms were small but never busy, and same goes for the kitchen. They theoretically have a bar but it was closed the whole time we were there - sad! Otherwise - grateful for the staff recommendation of O Trevo for breakfasts, and happy to have stayed in a beautiful and bustling area of Lisboa.

The hostel is strategic location. The room is clean. Bath , toilet are in separate area. I like their kitchen with utensils and also some leftover seasining, oil by previous travellers. You will have music every night.

Super unique place with live music, in a very intimate setting. We sadly just missed the music the evening we dropped by, but stuck around for a couple of drinks. Music ends at 2300 due to noise regulations. Staff were great and the environment was inviting. I’d definitely return, but would ensure I was there in time to check out the show, as it looked like a lot of fun.

My experience staying at this hostel was pretty bad and it´s a shame because the hostel is quite nice BUT the bedroom STINKS really bad! The smell was so hideous that gave me nausea every night, it was an odor like putrid sewer. When i asked for a solution they only suggested I should open the window... Every day I had to open the window and the door wide open so the air stream washed away the smell. The worst part was that when I closed the window at night (because of the noisy street) the odor came back, so either way i couldn´t sleep well because of the noise coming from the street or from the nauseating odor... I even bought a face mask thinking that would cover the odor but it didn´t help. The kitchen was nice and the bathroom was ok. The atencion was ok, the brunette girl was really nice.

One of the worst stays ever. The room wasn't ready when we came, so we had to wait. All the cleaning was done in 10 minutes though, which you can easily see from how dirty the room was. Towels were covered in stains. Zero soundproofing and extremely noisy both on the streets and in the hostel. You basically won't be able to sleep until 4-5AM at all. If that's the plan anyway, then it might be an option for you, otherwise stay away. They've got a second pair of keys locked in a box in case you drink too much and lose the main key (it's a bar area, yeah), they have codes from these boxes all on one piece of paper, that they offer you to take a picture of. So you automatically know how to get keys to all rooms, and so do others.

stayed for only 1 night but it was pleasant. we stayed in a quad private room and they provided free towels which is AMAZING. I love that it's RIGHT at bairro alto so if you're looking to party on ur vacay this is deff the perfect hostel to stay. it will get loud of course!
