10 Best Hostels in Lisbon, Portugal
João Petersen · Last updated September 2, 2026

This list covers ten hostels in Lisbon, most of them in or near Baixa, plus one in Intendente, one near São Jorge Castle and one near Marquês de Pombal. I picked them by location, what each property offers and guest ratings, rather than from stays of my own.
It starts with a short guide to the main neighborhoods, then a price comparison for dorms and private rooms in US dollars, and the full list.
Prices change with the season, so check current rates before you book.

Where to Stay in Lisbon?
Lisbon is built on hills, and where you stay decides how much climbing you do and how far you are from the sights. Here are the main areas and what each is known for.
1. Chiado sits next to Baixa. It has historic cafés, theaters and shops, and the São Carlos National Theatre and the Santa Justa Lift are within walking distance.
2. Baixa is the downtown grid of streets between the Tagus and Rossio Square, with Praça do Comércio and the Rua Augusta Arch. It has hotels in every price range and is well served by public transport.
3. Príncipe Real has a garden square, boutiques and restaurants serving both Portuguese and international food, and Bairro Alto and Chiado are nearby.
4. Cais do Sodré is on the waterfront. It has the Time Out Market, with its food stalls, and a nightlife district around Rua Nova do Carvalho, known as Pink Street. It has both hotels and hostels.
5. Avenida da Liberdade is a wide boulevard lined with luxury boutiques, restaurants and hotels. It runs from Restauradores toward Marquês de Pombal, and Bairro Alto and the historic center are within reach.
Additional Neighborhoods Worth Considering:
- Bairro Alto: has many bars and clubs and is busy at night. That suits younger travelers who want nightlife, and it is a poor choice if you want a quiet room.
- Belém: is west of the city center and has the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. It is also the home of the Pastéis de Belém bakery.
- Alfama: is Lisbon’s oldest district, with narrow winding streets, fado venues and viewpoints. It is steep, and some streets are hard to reach with luggage or by car.
- Parque das Nações: was developed for the 1998 World Expo, northeast of the historic center. It has contemporary architecture, shopping centers and recreational areas along the river.
- Graça: is on one of Lisbon’s hills, near Alfama and Mouraria. Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, one of the city’s best-known viewpoints, is here, and the historic trams pass through.
