Lisbon Calling

Sewage leaking through the wall!!! The bathroom had sewage water flowing through the wall, it stunk like grey water. The staff kept sopping it with towels. They were also suppose to change our sheets after 3 nights, they did not. They were suppose to supply fresh towels, they did not. The stink and humidity was disgusting and unsanitary. Do not stay here!!!! Photos show a slime coming out of the walls, likely from a sewer pipe from a unit above, they blamed it on a “leaky roof”. But it did not rain for all the days we were there, and the leak got worse in the evenings.

I was obsessed with the quadruple room/frescos room we booked. It absolutely gave Portuguese vibes and was so spacious. The huge windows let in tons of light and air, it's in a great location (right across from Time Out Market), and the decor was just gorgeous. The two single beds were not very comfortable, but my friend and I just shared the double. My favorite part was probably the bathroom which was also huge, everything was just really well decorated and the shower was so nice. You only have to walk up one set of stairs when coming in, then there's an elevator. The girl at reception (Maria) was really nice and sent us a bunch of local recommendations that we used. The common kitchen was pretty cool too, I liked the archway area at the back, and there was free coffee. Was definitely sad to leave when our three nights in Lisbon were over!

We had a lovely stay at calling Lisbon. We stayed for 4 nights, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The area surrounding was very busy and lots of life to it. I would say this property is a mix between a hostel and a bed and breakfast. The breakfast is very limited, just toast or cereal or yogurt. The private bathroom was external from the bedroom (which we knew! but you did have to walk across the hall way/lobby to get to it, which sometimes was awkward- the building is old and really pretty but the soundproofing is non existent, so you can hear everything on the street and in the room next door and in the hallway and lobby. So if anybody goes to the toilet at night you hear the floor boards creaking! I would say just bring some good ear plugs. Our room was the blue room and was really lovely, bed was super comfy and big. The room overall was great and could be cool or warm depending on what you want. There is a little window at the top of the door so if you are on the top bunk you can see the lobby and it does let light through - this could easily be sorted with a little blind for night time - I also think a small bin for the room would have been good. The bathroom itself was great with two showers, two toilets and a sink - very spacious and clean! Overall we enjoy our stay with the place being very friendly and charming.

Our room was huge with really quirky artwork and furniture. Location is great, Time Out market across the road, metro/train station behind that then then you are on the waterfront. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area and a tram stop just a few steps away. The communal kitchen is really clean and has great facilities. The breakfast was a perfect little start to the day, toast, cheese, jam, fruits and yogurt. Tea and coffee are available all day. We had a private external bathroom; it was across the lobby but this was not an issue as there are only a few rooms, so the communal areas were always quiet. We were given a key for the bathroom, but we did not bother locking it as the building felt very safe. The only downside is the noise. Double glazing does block out most of the road noise but when a tram goes by the building shakes. Other guests can be heard coming in and out, we were lucky that most people were conscious of this. Vera was so helpful, she sent us local recommendations and let us store our bags before check in and after check out. For the price this is a great place to stay, in a good location with handy facilities.

The location of the hostel is great. Beautiful neighbourhood with nice restaurants and shops. A big, beautiful and very clean room! Also a fantastic and friendly host who is always ready to help you out :)

Je suis arrivé pour un séjour avec ma fille de 6ans le 12 juillet pour une semaine. Très facile d'accès et une magnifique chambre, encore plus belle que sur la photo ! Une situation exceptionnelle, car en plein centre, et très proche de CAIS DO SODRE, on peut se rendre de partout d'ici !! C'est parfait !! Proche également du Time Out Market très prisé et très agréable ! Parlons du personnel qui s'est occupé de nous. Maria, Renata et Vera ont été d'une gentillesse et faisaient extrêmement attention à notre confort, notre bien etre ! Le petit déjeuné était top ! Je ne les remercierai jamais assez ! En plus de la ville qui m'a charmé, Lisbon Calling était un endroit parfait où je reviendrai d'ici peu de temps !! Merci infiniment ! Ted
