Easy Hostel is the newest hostel along the western edge of Baixa and offers fresh bunks for under €20 a night. The hostel boasts quality furnishings and smart décor in an upbeat atmosphere.
Situated in a spacious old apartment, the hostel threw open its doors in April 2006. You still feel the warmth of residential living, as the hostel's five bedrooms are located in what were obviously living rooms, bedrooms, and other common areas.
The wood floors are original, as are the large French doors that open to small terraces. Bedrooms furniture, however, is much newer, furnished with IKEA-style blue and red bunk beds. All dorm rooms are mixed-gender, though bathrooms are not.
A sun-drenched lounge provides brightly colored sofas and tables, perfect for hanging out during the day and a bar for chillin' at night. Georges, the Easy's amiable owner, is eager to get moving with weekend cocktail happy hours. (We nearly gave him some practice!) The hostel's cozy communal kitchen is bedecked with checkered tiles and bright colors.
The Easy is located at the beginning of Sâo Nicolau, along the Eastern edge of the Baixa grid. It's central to all of central Lisbon and just down the mountain from the castle.
