A hostel with family dinner

Home Lisbon Hostel is in a building on Rua de São Nicolau, in the Baixa, beside Rua Augusta and five minutes from Praça do Comércio. It is run by a family and it shows: the cook is Mamma, the owner's mother, who prepares dinner for the guests who sign up. Among her dishes are salt cod with cream, duck rice, lemon chicken and her soups, always with dessert. It is the simplest way to meet people if you travel alone.

Rooms and common areas

There are shared dormitories with bunk beds and double private rooms, each painted a different colour. It has a reading and relaxing room, a bar and its own café, the Nicolau Café, on the same street. Breakfast is served from 8:00. They organise outings and activities around the city; the calendar is on its website.

Getting there and getting around

From the airport, the metro takes you to Baixa-Chiado with one change; the stop is about five minutes' walk away. From here you walk to almost everything: Alfama, the Chiado, the river. The train to Sintra leaves from Rossio, ten minutes away, and the boat to Cacilhas from Cais do Sodré.
