Back to Lisbon Hostel
Calm garden hostel in Estrela where peace and social coexist
Peaceful hostel in Estrela with a secured garden complex, terrace with views, female-only dorms, bar crawls, and a breakfast spread. A calm retreat that still delivers social events when you want them.
Back to Lisbon Hostel sits in Estrela, a quiet residential neighborhood south of Bairro Alto. The secured complex includes a garden where you can listen to birds and decompress. Not the typical hostel pitch, but genuinely what guests rave about.
Despite the calm setting, the hostel runs bar crawls, happy hours, and board game evenings. Female-only dorms are available, and the breakfast spread is consistently praised. The terrace offers views and a good spot for sunset drinks.
The staff get universally positive reviews. Miguel in particular gets name-checked repeatedly for going above and beyond. The common areas are well-maintained, and the kitchen is available for cooking.
Estrela is a 15-minute tram ride from Baixa, or a pleasant 25-minute walk through Santos. You're near the Basílica da Estrela and the Jardim da Estrela park.
