    Me and my partner wanted to have a drink on the rooftop bar. Walked up and there was a chain blocking entrance saying “wait to be seated”. With multiple free seats, we assumed to be let in to sit fast. However, after waiting for quite a while and been just simply looked at by the waitress and not let in even after eye contact, she didn’t even acknowledge us and say that it will be a moment but rather continued to serve other customers. If it was busy with no free seats I would get it, but now we waited like idiots without let in and finally left to have a drink elsewhere. Sad because the rooftop looked nice but the service was unacceptable. Hire better staff 👍

    Wonderful hostel, in such a unique area. Plenty to do within walking distance. Transport to the center/museums etc was all very easy to arrange. In low season November it was easy to find parking nearby, left our van there for 3 nights safely (just the LX parking lot). The staff were friendly and helpful, bathrooms and rooms were super clean and comfortable. However for low season, I wouldn’t recommend it for a solo traveller wanting to meet a lot of people. Although I was only there for a short time, so who knows! ☺️

    Only went to the roof top bar, but MY GOODNESS what a place! If you can deal with the steps the drinks are astounding and the people are so friendly. Music and general atmosphere make it a perfect finish or start to an evening.

    Really enjoyed my stay here! Beds in the dorm feels private and are super comfortable, with two comfy pillows and a nice mattress. Showers were really nice and clean. Location was great, lively neighbourhood but quiet at night. Good location if you want to be closer to the Belem neighbourhood than city centre. Staff was kind, friendly and helpful. I would love to stay here again :)

    Usually I dislike hostels, however, this one is quite nice. Due to the closed space you actually have privacy. Everything was clean and I like that you are not forced to socialize with other guests nor the staff. I would stay again

    Highly recommended. Super friendly and helpful staff. Clean premises and cozy environment. A little displaced from the city center and all the hustle and bustle, but there are still plenty of restaurants and shops around.

    This hostel is super underrated. I cannot believe how good the price is for what you get. It feels like staying at a boutique mini hotel. They have locally sourced shower gels in the shower. The location is super unique as you are right under the bridge so you have a sick view. The rooftop is spectacular for hanging out and watching the sunset. You get one of the best breakfasts which comes inclusive with your stay. I loved the pod beds as it provides full privacy. The hostel is super clean and cozy.

    Walked into this place and the vibe was off. I arrived 20 minutes early, and was asked to wait. I was the first in line, but others were called and served before me. I asked for water as it was a sweltering day and was offered alcohol instead. (BIG NO) The pod I was given so compact. The air conditioning was not working (only worked at the reception and its was 42 degrees out) The bathroom was good. But overall my experience was less than satisfactory that I left the place in an hour and cancelled my booking. This place is good if you're looking for a central party place as it is in the heart of many pubs.

    Review for the rooftop bar: The waiter told us it was closed at 9 on a Friday. It was clearly open, people were hanging out, bartenders were making drinks. Definitely denied purely based on looks. Never seen anyone be so open about it like that before. To be clear, it was OPEN. They just looked us up and down and told us it was "closed" and we should leave. It was VERY OPEN. Definitely avoid. Wouldn't stay at a hostel that hosts such an openly discriminatory and hostile (pun!) rooftop bar

    Very good value for the price. We booked a private room, so had the benefits of a friendly hostel (complete with an in tune guitar available to play) with privacy too. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. What's not to like? 😍

    Really nice to stay this place and had lovely time there! Met nice people/friends from free Sangria time! Been there 2 times so far and will visit there again! 😍

    KEEP READING IF YOU LIKE FRESH AIR. This (in the photo) is the only "window" for the six-bed dorms. It's a tiny hole in the wall. The room smells like wetness even though it's summer! I booked 4 nights in advance. When I arrived, after smelling the room, I wanted to shorten my stay and check out the day after. I respectfully explained the situation to the receptionist. I told them I felt like I could not breathe well in the dorm and that I would have to book another place. They "checked" the room and said they didn't smell anything, and everything was completely okay. They suggested I check out early and get 0% refund. Well... I just booked a new hostel and will be leaving tomorrow. I'm offended by the insensitive, inconsiderate, and inflexible customer service. Even a small refund would have made me feel like they cared about my experience and not only their pocket! I hate to write bad reviews, but it's not okay to not give any refund to a customer who feels like she can't breathe in the room and has to leave!

    Great hostel at the LX Factory. Stayed here for 5 nights, which was very nice. Everything you need is close by. Getting to the centre of Lisbon is easy enough by bus. Good breakfast included. The privacy curtain at the beds is also very nice. All in all I had a good experience here, would definitely recommend for any solo travelers.

    Stunning inside and out! There is some noise as you’re near a busy area of restaurants and markets but honestly it’s not too bad. Towel hire, communal kitchen, clean modern bathrooms - would recommend!

    Brilliant hostel. Met so many great people from all over the world and the service at the hostel was brilliant. Staff were amazing, really friendly. Great breakfast, had vegan pancakes every day <3. In such a great location as well, tucked away in the edge of the city in the trendy LX Factory. Fantastic, 100% would recommend.

    We recommend! The location is super cool because you are in the middle of the LX Factory. Nevertheless, the premises are very quiet. Great facility and lovely staff! Highlights: the roof terrace and the breakfast :)

    Amazing spot for a hostel with a great rooftop. We had a cute private room and everything was super clean. The dorms also looked really clean and nice. It’s not to big, only like max 30 people so it’s not to busy at the hostel. Great incl breakfast where you have choices enough for everyone. The owners are the sweetest and the staff is great! It’s located perfectly at the lx factory where you have places enough for food, drinks and other nice stuff to see and buy. Also only 20 min by metro from city center. Highly recommend this place!! 🫶🏻

    5 stars in all categories. :) The welcoming was lovely. The "lobby" is outstandingly beautifully furnished & decorated. The bathroom, including showers & toilets appeared newly renovated and were super clean. This, obviously, is also due to guests cleaning up after them as usually when staying at a hostel. The breakfast that is included does in fact need a small instruction to be understood (Ask!) but is really enjoyable. I hope to be back again very soon. Thank you!

    Very good place! The staff is nice and helpful, the place is clean and good. The bed is so comfy, breakfast is good also. Perfect location, there are several public transport nearby.

  • 5/5 M v. 10 months ago on Google
    Very cool place, laidback vibe with very friendly staff. The breakfast is amazing, as is the rooftop bar. I have stayed at LX Hostel with a couple of friends and we had an amazing time. Would highly recommend.

    Although I didn't stay at the hostel itself, we used the rooftop bar for a photoshoot and the first thing I must say is how lovely the staff were in accomodating us for the hour we spent up there. It is located in a buzzing area of Lisbon, full of youthful restaurants, coffee shops and small boutiques, all with their own special character. Super chill vibes on the rooftop, with a cool bar and music playing to take you through from day to night. I didn't see the hostel rooms properly but when I used the toilet, everything inside looks pretty good for a hostel at the prices. Definitely recommend LX Hostel and this area!

  • 1/5 Wololo O. 1 year ago on Google
    Review for rooftop bar, not the hostel: We were ignored by the staff when we wanted to order something. Even after calling them and they saw us, we only got an angry look. I don't know what they had against us. After 15 min we left without a drink. 0/10.

  • 4/5 Abo John The adventurer - ابو جون �. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a good hostel located in lx factory (which is far from downtown) but was quite a cool place in town due to the narrow and restaurants there. The hostel was clean and the rooftop is amazing. The private room has a good size but had a tiny tiny tiny window which makes it very depressing. You can't even see throw the window. There was an Ac which is on the good side of things. However, if you come after midnight, it is hard to get in because the lx factory door closes and you need to call a number so they could open the door for you. So if you don't have a portuguese number you are in trouble. Not very convenient.

    PROS: - prime location to visit the LX Factory restaurants and vibes - friendly staff and cozy rooftop patio - Great Wi-Fi for co-working - Great lobby area that doesn't have music BLASTING like other hostels do. - the living / bed quarters are like actual walk in boxes. very nice. CONS: - the top bunkbeds are SO HIGH lol

    Review only for rooftop bar: the worst margarita I drank for 8.5€. the staff was nice but the place is small and overrated. The view it's not so great...

  • 5/5 Maarten L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience, really nice room and laidback rooftop bar. Owners did a great job creating a homely atmosphere. Will be back for sure!

  • 5/5 Xavier H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favourite hostel in Lisbon. Super comfortable, great breakfast, free sangria, lovely staff. We'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Maxel F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice hostel with a great roof terrace that invites you to a relaxed cold drink in the evening. The staff are super friendly and always open to a conversation. Breakfast is also recommended and you can still let off steam as you like. The location is located in the middle of a pub district, which is artistically inspired.

  • 5/5 Wouter van D. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great hostel with exceptional mattresses and clean rooms. Service level is top of the bill (staff is super friendly and recommended very nice things to do/go in Lisbon). Hostel has a great rooftop which is absolutely worth visiting. Nice cocktails/view/seating!
