About
Ambiente Hostel - Lisbon
Ambiente Hostel occupies the third floor of a historic building on Avenida Almirante Reis, a short walk from Anjos metro and about a 10-minute drive from Castelo de São Jorge. The hostel blends old details — parquet floors, high ceilings — with comfortable, recently refreshed rooms. It runs adults-only, so the atmosphere tends to be calm and respectful.
The shared spaces do a lot of the work: a fully equipped kitchen with cookware and a dining area, a lounge with board games, a terrace with garden furniture, and a leisure/TV room. Breakfast is included, and free tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits are available throughout the day. Wi-Fi is strong, and secure lockers come with every dorm bed.

8.7Verified guest“We travel a lot, and Ambiente still exceeded our expectations for a hostel. Nothing was missing. The kitchen was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, wi-fi was fast, and our room was large and well kept. We particularly liked the breakfast and how easy it was to reach everything. It is the best hostel we have ever stayed in.”
8.7Verified guest“Nice hostel in a practical location. Bathrooms were spotless and the lounge area and kitchen were a pleasure to use. My room was really lovely and spacious, with nice vintage details. The bed was big and the mattress was one of the most comfortable I have slept on. There was plenty of open space and somewhere to put valuables. Breakfast was simple but enough. Every staff member was friendly and quick to help when needed. Honestly, I can't think of anything I disliked.”
8.7Verified guest“My stay here was excellent from start to finish. The old building, comfortable bathrooms and fully equipped kitchen all impressed me. I could heat food and also cook from scratch. The position was great for Alfama and the main sights. Staff and owners were warm and attentive. I'm already planning my return.”
8.7Verified guest“Everything was clean and looked after, and the staff were friendly and obliging. The location made it easy to get public transport and find shops. Breakfast was good, though it's worth getting up a bit earlier to have more choice. I'd happily recommend this hostel for a Lisbon trip.”
8.7Verified guest“Perfect location with the metro just nearby and the centre easy to reach. Staff were really helpful and welcoming. The place was clean and there were more than enough bathrooms. Breakfast was tasty and the kitchen had all the tools I needed. The common area had a nice vibe — the Christmas tree was a lovely touch.”
8.7Verified guest“Excellent value for money. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was very handy with the subway around the corner. The staff treated me like a VIP and gave me great recommendations.”
