Rossio Hostel

Situated just off Praça dom Pedro IV (“Rossio Square”), the Rossio Hostel is an intimate and colorful place, offering cheap dorms and affordable doubles with a stylish and youthful vibe.

Dorms sleep four or six, and each dorm room is named for one of Lisbon's neighborhoods (for example, the “Alfama” room has windows looking out to Rossio Square). Four double rooms share two bathroom facilities, and sport quirky vintage furniture. These rooms have views looking out to either the street or up to the castle.

In a city packed with well-designed hostels, the Rossio is yet another hip option. The reception, lounge and kitchen areas are standard “hostel chic,” with bold color schemes, communal dining tables, dark wooden floors and exposed beams. A TV room includes a projector that’s fired up for big sports games and movie nights.

The Rossio organizes activities every night, including wine tastings, karaoke singing or pub crawling. Scrambled eggs and pancakes are served up daily for breakfast, which is included in the room rate.

Note: The Hostel does not have an elevator. The reception is located up one floor, and rooms are located on higher floors. Wi-Fi is offered for free in the lounge, along with a free Internet station. The entire property is non-smoking.
