Hotel berhampiran Augusto Gil Garden, Lisbon

The hostel's name says it all - this hostel is ideally located in the heart of Lisbon within walking distance of most of the major monuments the city has to offer. My girlfriend and I allocated 2 days to Lisbon and 1 to Sintra and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in one of the 8-bed dorms. The rooms and amenities of this hostel exceeded our expectations as our 1st foray into hostel traveling. The staff were extremely kind as well and were helpful in helping us plan an early morning (4 am) transport to the airport. There were a few small details we wish we could change. For one, we had a bit of bad luck in that one of our roommates was sick and spent most of the night coughing relentlessly keeping most members of our room awake. Additionally, despite meeting many friendly faces, the hostel did not feel as openly social as other hostels we stayed our throughout our two week Europe trip

It’s been a long time since I was last in a youth hostel, and as a now 45 year old man there is probably a reason for this. Arriving late on the Tuesday night with fond memories of dorm parties and tequila slammers, I was greeted by what I initially thought was captain Jack Sparrow, but who actually transpired to be a very friendly chap who helped us to navigate the intricacies of the main entrance. Door buzzed, suitcases lifted up the stairs and ugh who let mum and dad in looks absorbed, we were handed our keys by a lovely member of the team alongside vouchers for two free shots. Enthusiastically we were informed that the bar was open until 1am that night, although we had missed the pub crawl for the evening. I’m flattered I guess, however we decided to give the shots a miss in favour of a nice sleep. Yup, Father Time catches up with us all… We had a private double with a shared bathroom, and although very small it was comfortable enough. The pillow has perhaps seen better days, but the A/C was a life saver! Spending the days walking around town and doing some gentle exploring, the nights were largely spent for myself at least in the bar area downstairs. It’s a small but perfectly functional area, and in all honesty wasn’t the screaming mess of teenagers away from home for the first time that I had been expecting. At 3 euros a pint I was certainly very happy to sit and read whilst various cool young things did their thing in the background. Declining participation in the pub crawl for a second time, I was tempted with the tapas tasting but plans for the night changed due to friends arriving a day early and diner reservations being made. From a comfort point of view, our bathroom was shared between three double rooms I believe on the third floor, and this was never an issue. I attribute this to the fact that we were likely on very different schedules with us going out for the day and back for the night, as opposed to the perhaps more night based activities of our fellow residents. Bedroom like I said small, but hey, who cares, we weren’t here to sit in a room all day. The breakfast was absolutely fine, and for 5 euros a day you really cannot complain. All in all very happy with my stay, though peeking into an open dorm room one day my god I wouldn’t have survived the week unless you could take 25 years off me! Good job though overall Sant Jordi, and I’d certainly consider staying again - safe, friendly and somewhere I’m sure 20 year old me would have had a blast!

As it is said in the other comments, the rooms are very badly soundproofed... We were given a room on the street side, with a window that did not close properly, and as a result we slept very badly! We decided to leave after the first night, as there was only one room left that we did not want. After having had the MANAGER on the phone, we were told that we would be reimbursed (over 200€). Strangely my card was not working for the refund, ok, and that it was not possible in cash. We were then told that we would receive a transfer within 1 to 2 weeks... I have been waiting for 2 MONTHS! I have had no answer to my emails and on the phone, I'm clearly being pushed around. It's unacceptable, I work at the reception of a hotel in France, we refund our customers! ESPECIALLY when they promise us!!!!!! It's not only unprofessional but also dishonest. Comme il est dit dans les autres commentaires, les chambres sont très mal insonorisées.... On nous a donné une chambre côté rue, avec une fenêtre qui ne fermait pas bien, et du coup nous avons très mal dormi ! Nous avons décidé de partir après la première nuit, car il ne restait qu'une chambre dont nous ne voulions pas. Après avoir eu le DIRECTEUR au téléphone, on nous a dit que nous serions remboursés (plus de 200€). Bizarrement ma carte ne fonctionnait pas pour le remboursement, ok, et que ce n'était pas possible en liquide. On nous a ensuite dit que nous recevrions un virement sous 1 à 2 semaines.... Cela fait 2 MOIS que j'attends ! Je n'ai eu aucune réponse à mes emails et au téléphone, on me balade. C'est inacceptable, je travaille à la réception d'un hôtel en France, nous remboursons nos clients ! EN PARTICULIER quand on leur promet !!!!!! C'est non seulement non professionnel mais aussi malhonnête.

We recently stayed at Locke de Santa Joana as a family of four to celebrate our eldest daughter’s 30th birthday. I booked before the opening of the hotel, after being impressed by the marketing photos. I loved the stylish design and thought it would be perfect for us. After realising at check-in our two rooms were 7 floors apart, and the balcony room I’d booked for myself and my husband was in fact a courtyard ground floor room facing the very busy pool/restaurant area, with only a couple of chairs placed outside - not a balcony as described. I was a little disappointed in this, however wanted to enjoy our experience while we were here. We enjoyed dinner at Santa Marta one evening, however didn’t spend any more time at the hotel due to the fact that it is not fully open. During the day there is nowhere to sit and relax, other than the very small lobby or if you’re very lucky you might get one of the few sun loungers by the pool. On an evening there’s a handful of seats around the bar next to the restaurant and that’s it. I quickly realised there’s a huge interior and exterior part of the hotel still to open. I know it will then be very impressive and guests will love it, but sadly for us we didn’t get to enjoy any of it, and can’t help feeling a little cheated.

Super einfallsreiches Konzept, welches ich so bisher noch nirgends gesehen habe. Ein Mix aus Hostel und Hotel, wundervolle Einrichtung, man fühlt sich überall wohl, alles lädt zum verweilen ein. Ich denke dass man hier gut arbeiten und entspannen kann. Super eingerichtet, tolle Küche, Innenhof mit Pool, top Terrasse und sehr gutes Restaurant. Die Preise im Restaurant sind voll ok, für Portugal im allg recht teuer. Es gibt viele vegane / vegetarische Optionen, was sehr cool ist! Lage ist auch gut. Die Betten ein Traum, so bequem. Man bekommt auch noch super süße Bändchen. Kleiner Minuspunkt war dass die Sauberkeit noch etwas besser sein konnte und wenn etwas kaputt ist, dass es ersetzt oder erneuert wird

Bedsheets not clean properly. Toilet very dirty due to more people. But Tawosh was very friendly .

Loved Wot Patio! Great position close to metros which links to rail and bus. Close to marquis da Pombal and the Avenida da liberdade. So if you’re a walker you can walk anywhere from here or catch the metro. Great local restaurants full of Portuguese one street over from the Avenida. Safe area, clean and friendly. Includes a carb loaded brekky and coffee etc and has a nice breakfast outdoor area. Plus a lounge and TV area Europa football was on when I was there so it was a fun atmosphere. I was made welcome and the young people always had time for a chat with a mature age traveler! I’d stay again! Request a bottom bunk for better comfort and privacy and convenience.

We landed here from a cancelled easyjet flight, staff were so understanding when we arrived. Breakfast and dinner was included in our stay and was a buffet style with a great selection. Room was very spacious and clean. A 1 minute walk away from metro entrance and supermarket.

The location is perfect where is very close to MRT. There are restaurants and grocery stores near the hotel quite convenient The room is correspondence to the star rating. The pillow is a bit smelly. However, the bathroom is very clean.

During the stay, there was an event happening, but the service quality was maintained and quickly responded. The only is the HK team rang the bell a few times during the day time to check if the service needed.
