    If you're arriving by car, the location is okay and the views are nice, but the hostel has probably seen better days - looking a bit sorry for itself and the breakfast didn't make up for it! Other guests were a bit noisy, cleanliness could have been better, no towels provided in our private room, and to be honest for the price, I didn't feel we were getting much. I wouldn't exactly recommend it.

    Stayed 2 nights, September 2023. Location has an amazing view of Lisbon, where tourists should be staying. This hostel is old, run down, dirty and unhappy. Balls of dirt and dust gathered under the bed. The bunks are in front of the wall plugs, not worth it to move the bed and see that. The guest kitchen is disgusting, the dish in the microwave doesn't want to turn because of the unidentifiable brown sludge filling the runner. No cups. One knife. All the dishes in the shared kitchen are dirty. Good thing the bathrooms are dark. Front desk staff are friendly. When at their post. During their breaks, the 24 hour front desk is closed. No check-ins before 6pm. Each dorm room gets one key to share. If, like me, the dorm mate takes it, you can't get in. If, like me, one of your dorm mates locks the door when you go to the bathroom and then goes to bed, you have to go plead for help at the front desk. If someone is there. Other staff are NOT happy. When the coffee machine stopped working (only 1 of 3 were working to start) and staff was asked to have a look, there was eye rolling and a turn away. When staff are cleaning (I must have hit the cleaning day), you're not allowed in the common room. Staff cannot communicate in English, this seems to make them angry, so expect grunts, turn away, and a fooshing of their hand in your general direction. This place is dark, dingy, and mostly unfriendly. Choose a different place.

    Überall Schimmel, sogar auf der Matratze. Der Service war schlecht, und wenn ich nicht jeden Abend feiern gewesen wäre, hätte sich meine Gesundheit wahrscheinlich sehr krass verschlechtert, da alles voller Schimmel war - sogar der Boden und die komplette Dusche. Zum Glück gab es in den Diskotheken einen Pool, in dem man sich reinigen konnte. Ich würde diese "Unterkunft", die keine Unterkunft ist, nicht noch einmal buchen, auch wenn der Ausblick 5 Sterne hatte. Vorsicht vor der Mafia !!!

    I recently stayed at this hostel that left me feeling underwhelmed. The room I was given was basic and lacked any form of comfort or style. There was no heating and sound proofing. The heater was later provided by the staff on request. The room was also not well-maintained and needed a good clean. The breakfast provided was also basic, with only a few options to choose from.The dining area was not very inviting, and it was clear that the furniture had seen better days. The hostel itself was in a state of disrepair. The building needed maintenance work, and the whole place was not very clean. The bathrooms were in a sorry state, and the showers were not working correctly. It was not a pleasant experience using them. The only positive thing about this hostel was the stunning views from the room and dining area. However, this was not enough to make up for the lack of comfort and the poor condition of the hostel. The location of the hostel was also a major drawback. It was situated in a secluded place, which made it difficult to access. While I understand that hostels are budget accommodations but I still expect a certain level of maintenance and cleanliness. Overall, my experience at this hostel was not a good one. The lack of maintenance and cleanliness, combined with the basic facilities, made it a less than desirable place to stay. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    The top value of this hostel is the bathroom, and hot showers. The kitchen is very poor. No significant appliances not even electrical kettles. The microwave is poorly maintained. the space is full of potential but not well exploited.

  • 1/5 Nane 7 months ago on Google • 60 reviews
    Daily cleaning is done but everywhere is dusty. Even though I told them the lock of my room was broken, they didn't. I did not feel safe. The locks of the cabinets were also problematic. The bunk beds are so old they seem to break. It gets cold at night, I didn't use the blanket so much on the floor. The road to the hostel is very dark. The breakfast is insufficient. I came out on my 2nd day

    There are so many negative reviews that we almost didn't booked our stay here, but luckly we did! The view from the room is amazing! For that price! Also nice nice rooms and staff, nothing bad to say!

    Perfect views and very friendly staff. Only two problems: a bit less connected to the main city (you need to walk a bit then take a bus to reach the city) and barely any options in the breakfast (and no hot option, not even a toast). If you want a quiet and introspective holiday without much sightseeing on the agenda, then it's a perfect place to stay. (Just stock up food.)

    We stayed in a room for 4 persons for 5 night, the room and the toillete were clean, kitchen also, but there was nothing useful in kitchen. Just a microwave, fridge and a couple of plates, no kettle, stove, sharp knives...the staff was polite, breakfast was fine, and the view from hostel is beautifull! View is beautifull because you have to walk uphill 5 min to get to hostel, so bear that in mind. Lidl is 10 minutes of walk close, and there is a bus station also 10 minutes away for the city center.

    Worst place to stay! The deal was good for me when i booked but I came to realise its not at all worth even a penny! The building looks very old and I think Unesco should consider preserving it. (Pun intended) But its 100 times better if you find a stay in the city of Lisbon. I know people are praising the views of the stay but at the end of the day we need sleep after long day of touring.

    We spend two nights at this hostel, in a double room with an own bathroom. The bed isnt comfortable at all. The bathroom is full of mold everywhere. The smell is disgusting. The breakfast is very limited. Only positive things are the view and the balcony (you have to share it with your neighbor, so you cant even leave the door open trough the night to get rid of the smell on your room) I wouldn't recommend this hostel to anyone.

    The view is great and the location is quite nice and welcoming, especially for a youth hostel. Food was not that great. Travel time to the city center is about 1h.

    A very fine hostel aside from the breakfast feature. They shouldn't say they offer breakfast. Around 9am they were already out of almost every food and there was no refill - saying that "there was none left". The view is wonderful

    My friend and me booked one night in this pousada, the building seems old, like the beds and the compartments for our luggages, not very comfortable to sleep to be honest and not very sure about of the blankets cleanliness. They do not have individual keys or cards for guest so you have to share a key with the 4 guest you're sharing room with. For the price that we payed the breakfast was quite good! The building has an amazing views of Lisbon, you can eat having views of the bridge. Also the staff was very helpful and nice. They warned us about that the time to not make noise, at 11pm but and at that time there was a big French group of teenagers from a school I guess and was horrible till that time, running everywhere between rooms, in two occasions they even enter to our room. (It wasn't blocked because remember, we only have a key for the room, so instead of stand up of your bed to open the door to your room-mate be leave it open directly. Also to reach the building from Lisbon you have to take a car or public transport because you can not cross the bridge by walk. I recommend this pousada if your stay is gonna be short like mine or for schools, because at least they had fun.

  • 2/5 Tim M. 3 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    Ausblick gigantisch. Dennoch ist die Lage aufgrund der schlechten Verkehrsanbindung nicht optimal. Der Service ist super und bemüht weiter zu helfen. Zimmer und das gesamte Gebäude sind in die Jahre gekommen, teilweise nicht richtig sauber und entsprechen nicht einmal den Vorstellungen einer Jugendherberge. Auf dem Balkon lagen leere Getränkedosen und Zigaretten, das Fallrohr der Regenrinne ist schon lange defekt. Im Zimmer hatten wir einen elektrischen Radiator, der Rest des Gebäudes war eiskalt. Da wir tatsächlich ausschließlich zum schlafen und frühstücken dort waren, haben wir es überlebt. Man sollte zumindest Mal die optischen Mängel beheben. Farbe an die verdreckten Wände und Decken, Vorhänge waschen und die Armaturen im Bad austauschen.

    Awesome views over Lisbon shore and it's famous steel bridge. As I went there to an event, didn't had the opportunity to try the hostel rooms and their hostelry services. There's a small car parking at the front door. And a soccer field that available from 25€ per hour. Very close to "Garcia de Orta", the biggest hospital in Almada city.

    The hostel is very amazing. You have a very great view of the panorama. Also the food it was great, a lot of tipical portoghese dish. The zone is calm and perfect for sleep and relaxing.

  • 4/5 Misha H. 6 years ago on Google
    The views of Lisboa are amazing. Breakfast was simple and adequate, bread and jam, cold cereal, yogurt, coffee, and teas. The wifi is reliable. Another plus is that you're closer to Cristo Rei than if you stayed in Lisboa, and that's a must see. My only complaint is that the private room was rather cold and the blankets were pretty thin, but there is a space heater. I'd recommend bringing extra blankets. Also, it's not in Lisboa or easily accessible by public transit. It's about a 20€ cab to Lisboa. We eventually figured out how to get back on the ferry and metro, but you still have to walk about 20 min from the metro up very steep hills. There's a bus that's closer but we couldn't figure out where to pick that up on Lisboa, and the hostel is at the top of the steepest hill so there's no getting around that.

    This has a spectacular view of Lisbon and the bridge from across the river (if slightly spoiled by some storage tanks) and although I haven't stayed there, it looks quite modern and comfortable.

    Came for a wedding here but didn't stay at the hostel. The place has beautiful views of Lisbon. The wedding party set up the venue and the staff were both friendly and, I believe, helpful. I got a Bolt from Pragal Station as I had bags, but friends said they'd walked to the venue and said it was fine.

  • 1/5 Piotr B. 5 months ago on Google
    Rooms ale old and rusty, almost prison like, I got bitten by bed bugs. I asked reception to accept a package while I'm out. They said ok. And when it arrived they refused to accept it :) I was left without my package and with a shipping bill for 35 EUR. To compensate me they put me one night in a room (or a prison cell) where I got severely bitten by bed bugs. I wish I had never visited this awful place!

    (Translated by Google) Very bad hostel, terrible service, I left the room for a few minutes and when I came back I realized I was stolen in money that I left in the closet. Disappointed, I asked for the reimbursement of per diem not yet due because I would no longer want to continue in a place where there is no security for objects and money. The response at the reception was negative, even if the receptionist contacted the owner-manager, they did not return the advance money for the accommodation. Police case! I do not advise anyone to stay at this HI Pousada da Juventude in Almada. (Original) Hostel muito ruim, atendimento péssimo, deixei o quarto por alguns minutos e quando voltei percebi ter sido furtado em dinheiro que deixei no armário. Decepcionado pedi o reembolso das diárias ainda não vencidas pois não teria mais vontade de continuar num lugar onde não há segurança de objetos e dinheiro. A resposta na recepção foi negativa, mesmo o recepcionista entrando em contato com o gerente-proprietario, não devolveram o dinheiro antecipado da hospedagem. Caso de polícia! Não aconselho ninguém a se hospedar neste HI Pousada da Juventude em Almada.
