EuroCheapo review print this page

This little yellow hostel, located on the fifth floor of a building on the narrow Rua Nova Da Trindadem, is near both the Barrio Alto and Rossio Square. The building may be from the 17th century, but the first-floor Lisbon Poets Hostel was opened in 2005 after extensive renovations.

The Poets Hostel has a cool, young vibe to it. It's "chill," not "party." With only eight rooms (and one suite), the hostel maintains a sense of intimacy not usually associated with the hostel scene.

Whoever is responsible for the Poets's décor deserves a pat on the back. We loved the way it combined traditional Portuguese features, such as lovingly restored hardwood floors and traditional ceramic tiled walls, with IKEA eclecticism. The result is both respectful and fun.

The reception is streamlined and modern. A track-lit living room throws hipster beanbag chairs and a lending library into an otherwise traditional setting. A free Internet station is tucked around the corner, amidst retro light fixtures.

Rooms, simply furnished with bunk beds and a window, accommodate three, four, or six people. One "studio," suited for three, is equipped with its own bath, kitchen, living area, and cable TV. A kitchen is open to all guests, and they'll even do your laundry for you.

About the Lisbon Poets Hostel neighborhood

To the west of Baixa, the Bairro Alto twists up a mountain, Its moody, evocative streets are bordered by steep stairways and winding alleys. The Bairro Alto is desperately beautiful, with its organic mixture of the hip, rustic, and picturesque. Fairly recently reborn as a trendy 'hood, the Bairro Alto is crowded at night thanks to hot clubs, bars, and restaurants. Between Bairro Alto and Baixa is the sloping neighborhood of Chiado. Full of cafes, museums, pricey boutiques, and theatres, Chiado is the sophisticated older sibling of Bairro Alto. It's not quite as stunningly, edgily gorgeous as Bairro Alto, but it's still charming in its more ordered way.
