The first impression you will have of this hostel is the smell. An amazing smell of sweat. Into the rooms the smell is even worse. At this point you will say "well I deserved it, i booked a 5€ room, what do you expect?" Then you go on the bathrooms. A common area where you can wash yourself... Full of water on the floor. The WC doesn't work, there are good smelling brown snakes laying there. Then the other hosts are really noisy. WORST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN. NOW IM AFRAID I HAVE SOME STRANGE DISEASE.

Oh no, We spent a night and the place is really messy, the ceilings have black things and they drag the mop through the corridors every second they can, It was always wet in the bathrooms. the place is dilapidated. But its really up to you though

Awful horrible place. Really strange vibe and full of random men, would not recommend for solo female travellers. Its more like a half way house or something. Owner smelt like booze. The wall outside would probably be comfier than the beds. All beds wrapped in cling film. It’s cheap yeah but the anxiety isn’t worth it.

Never stay there Receptionist was drunk and he got into a fight with us because we wanted to see the rooms first. When I say fight I really mean it. He called for his friends to fight us. The place smelled like weed and sweat. The most disgusting human being. This place should be raided by police.

This place was HORRIBLE! DO NOT STAY HERE! SAVE YOUR MONEY! The beds are held up by wooden planks and can easily come apart. Also, the environment is super sketchy and it is all dirty and gross. If I could rate it 0 stars I would.

There were bed bugs !! And the Mexican lady that lives here with her children is incredibly rude and has no manners what so ever, she literally threw a chair at me because she was mad that I sat on the counter top- I didn’t even know who she was or anything. She just walked in, told me it’s not normal to sit on the counter and then went and grabbed a chair and threw it in front of me before I could even respond. The night only got worse when my friend found bed bugs in her bed and bites all over her body and face. We proceeded to check the other beds in the room and they were all stained with dead bed bugs, if not had some on them crawling already. After we told the owner of the hostel he refunded us part of the money but didn’t seem concerned over the fact that rooms full of travellers will be carrying bed bugs around now. He just said he needs to go to sleep. It all happened around 2 until 3 am and we had to leave the hostel at 4 because we were too uncomfortable to go back into any of the rooms.

This was my first time staying in a hostel, or should I say booked to stay in a hostel. As we walked in to the hostel my first impressions, were oh my god really, the state of this place and the smell, but ever the optimist I said to myself don’t judge the book by the cover, might be a great place. We two women had booked a double room and as we were being taken to be shown our room, we were taken to a room where there were eight other men sleeping and we were expected to bunk down with these eight strange men. At the point, I had a real bad feeling about this place. We then had to argue with reception over our booking, to then have them say ok, here we will show you a different room. As they opened the door to this room, we were presented with a naked man in front of us. At this point we grabbed our stuff and went to leave. When we went to the front door it was locked and the hostel owner was not going to leave us out until we threatened to call the Police. Then they unlocked the door and we left immediately without turning back and without any return of our money, as we were honestly afraid of what may happen to us, so we just left and booked in to another hotel just down the road, much safer, cleaner and gave us what we booked with them. THIS PLACE FOOTBALL HOSTEL IS BY A MILLION MILES THE WORST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN AND I WAS HONESTLY NEVER MORE AFRAID THAN WHEN I WAS IN THIS PLACE. While the behaviour of the residents and the hostel owner could be innocent, I would warn any female travellers to stay away from this hostel, as you may get way more than you paid for and way more than is wanted.

That is the worst hostel i have ever stayed at. It shouldnt be allowed to be open!! Horrible place! the staff is the worst. conditions are bad. Everything is broken. the guy that works there is so rude. i would never stay there again and no one else should!

Stay away from this place, just go 1 or 2 euros over and you'll find infinitely better hostels in Lisbon.

The worst hostel I have been to. Photos on the site do not reflect reality. On the site they do not say that every day from 11am to 14pm you have to leave the facility because they have to clean. I have to get up on Sunday because you have to clean up? They say they have to clean but the structure is dirty and stinks. Two dilapidated bathrooms and kitchen. I asked for a partial refund of what I spent and they denied it. I had only two possibilities, either to kill them or go away. I chose the latter because he doesn't have to argue with certain people.

Originally planed to stay for five nights because it was so cheap and was pretty close to the city centre and relevant train stations. Only spent three nights before my friend and I knew we had to get out. This is less of a hostel for travellers, and more of a hostel for long term living of nearly homeless people. The first night the hostel owner was unusually touchy and would not remove his arms from me even when I tried to move away and politely show him my discomfort. One of the long term residents staying in our room as well watched a movie and played music without headphones for most of the night, and refused to turn it down after I politely requested him to do so at 2am. The second night I woke up before my alarm to find the hostel owner just standing in the room staring at our beds. When he realized we were awake he just walked out. The room was also poorly secured. Many people who did not have a bed were in and out of the room all night and it was not possible to lock the balcony doors leading to other rooms. The third night me and my friend were quietly discussing checking out early to a new place as we were uncomfortable due to the behaviour of the owner and other people who were staying at the hostel. We did not tell anyone this discussion and had it quietly in our room alone. That night the hostel attendant confronted us in the room, shutting the door so he would remain uninterrupted. We had to lie and say we were still planning on checking out at the end rather than early. This scared us as it suggested he was either listening to our conversation or able to check the internet history of the place. While the behaviour of the residents and the hostel owner could be innocent, I would warn any lone female travellers to stay away from the hostel. In terms of conditions of the hostel, you get what you pay for. While there was no obvious mess, the hostel was dark and cramped, and looked as what you would expect a $11 dollar a night hostel to look like. The best aspect of the hostel is its location, it was only a 10 min walk to the city centre, and a 20 minute walk to the train station to get you to Sintra. The train station to get to Cascais was a bit farther away, approximately 40 min, but this was also doable and took you through the old part of Lisbon.
