I'm well travelled and have stayed in many hostels over the years, but the Alfama Patio is certainly the best I've ever stayed in. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff brilliant and friendly, and the hostel itself is quirky and well-kept.

The first thing Alfama Patios has got going for it is the location. Just arriving there will provide you with a hearty dose of vibrant & ancient Lisbon city vibes, with a neighbourhood that's as authentic as it's central and scenic. The hostel itself has a cool, relaxed feel to it, with atmospheric patios that demand hanging out and chatting... More

To Nadia and all her staff, thank you for making my stay (at two differ occasions) at AP felt like home-away-from-home. The atmosphere was great and the staff contributed to this without being superficial. Breakfast was excellent, especially the pancakes. The hostel is located within the old town, Alfama, and the building is relatively small. So don't expect a massive... More

We stayed in this hostle only last week (from 1 till 8 september 2012) and everyone who stayed in the same room (6 people in total) returned home bitten all over by bed bugs!!!! What is even worse, I'm afraid we've carried the bugs home with us:-( So you can imagine the imposition, embarrassement, nuisance and trouble it's caused us.... More

This was our first trip to Lisbon and our first hostel experience, ever. I cannot recommend Alfama Patio more!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful.

I stayed in a single room for 3 nights and wished I stayed longer. The room was spacious & nice & had a great view. The staff are really friendly & the patio & terrace are adorable. Great value for money. I would definitely recommend it.
