Lisboa Arte Hostel  

In Alfama, beside the Tejo and a stone’s throw from Santa Apolónia Train Station — minutes from The Water Museum, the National Pantheon and the Fado Museum. This compact Lisbon hostel puts you in the city’s oldest quarter for quick museum and river strolls.

A tiny, art-led hideaway with only four guestrooms, Lisboa Arte Hostel leans into local culture and curated encounters. Rooms look over the Tejo or the main street and come with orthopedic mattresses, bed linen, cabinets and a cozy small living room. The place runs an environmental policy on energy use and a community hiring policy that respects local labor laws.

Take in views from a terrace and garden, unwind in the massage room or find your flow in the yoga area. The hostel organizes urban art and literary walks, museum tours and other excursions; there’s even a bowling club on the premises. Practical touches include an elevator, laundry and dry cleaning, ATM, car rental and a safe-deposit box. Roundtrip airport shuttle/transfer is available on request (surcharge).

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property and luggage storage make short stays easy.

A shared kitchen lets you cook your own meals; staff speak English, Spanish and French and can point you to the best local eateries and markets.
