About
Hostel Do Castelo Lisboa - Lisbon
Hostel Do Castelo Lisboa occupies a classic Lisbon building on Costa do Castelo, a street that climbs toward the castle. With just 16 rooms, the hostel keeps a personal, low-key atmosphere. The location is the draw: the Miradouro de Santa Luzia viewpoint is only 450 metres away, and Lisbon Cathedral is a quick stroll downhill.
Rooms range from a single-bed male dorm to doubles, triples, and quadruples, all with showers. The hostel is practical rather than fancy—free Wi-Fi covers the building, and you'll find handy touches like AM/FM alarm clocks and curtains in the rooms. Alfama's narrow lanes, restaurants, and bars are right outside.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small scale, limited amenities — With just 16 rooms, there's no fitness centre, pool, or on-site restaurant beyond breakfast; don't expect resort-style facilities.
- Mixed guest ratings — The hostel's overall rating is 6.0 out of 10 from 795 reviews, below the area average of 9.7, though individual reviews are often positive.
- Potential noise and basic rooms — One review mentions 'some areas could be improved,' and the hostel's location on a busy street near the castle may bring street noise.
- No parking on site — Parking is not listed in policies, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking in the narrow Alfama streets.
