Positive Reviews
positive:
Excellent downtown Lisbon location.
This hostel is said to occupy an excellent location in the historical heart of Lisbon, with guests saying it put them within a leisurely walking distance of São Jorge Castle, the beach, Rossio Square and Metro stations.
positive:
Simple but clean and comfy, with shared kitchen.
Guests said Sweet Home Hospedagem offered basic, clean and comfortable lodgings at a good price. There was also said to be a guest kitchen on site, with everything they would need to cook up a storm, in addition to a small lounge area.
positive:
Attentive and friendly staff.
The staff here proved to be very friendly and were considered responsive in dealing with any requests and issues, as well as well as with providing city information and recommendations.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast simple; can be a wait for the bathroom.
Sweet Home Hospedagem's breakfast is said to be very simple — just coffee, cereal, spreads and bread — meaning some people were not impressed and did not eat in. On top of this, the shared bathrooms and kitchen sometimes meant guests had to wait a little while for their turn, but these were nevertheless kept in a good condition.
negative:
No elevator and one power point per room.
The rooms here apparently have only one power point for charging electronics, so perhaps keep this in mind if you have plenty of gadgets. Furthermore, there is no elevator, meaning that you should be prepared to test your legs on the steep stairs.
