Guest Reviews
Location
Guests find the area to be calm and relaxed, characterized by a quiet street that ensures a tranquil stay, away from the bustling city center of Lisbon. Despite being a bit removed from the city's heart, the hostel remains accessible thanks to its nearby bus stops, providing a smooth route to explore all that Lisbon has to offer. For those who prefer a nice walk, Belém is only a short stroll away, allowing for an immersive experience in one of Lisbon's most picturesque quarters.
With easy parking options, the hostel accommodates road-trippers just as comfortably as those navigating the city on foot or public transport. The welcoming and friendly ambiance complements its strategic location, making Help Yourself Hostels - Restelo a perfect choice for travelers looking to enjoy a restful yet engaging stay in Lisbon.
Rooms
However, the hostel's rooms present some challenges. They are notably small and cluttered, often filled with multiple bunk beds, which can make the space feel cramped and congested. The bunk beds, sometimes arranged in a triple-decker fashion, leave little room between them and can be difficult to climb. In addition, the tight configuration of beds often leads to discomfort, with guests noting that it is tough to sit comfortably on them. While the shared kitchen and dining areas offer opportunity for socializing, the rooms themselves lack sufficient space and storage, with tiny lockers and inadequate lighting.
Overall, Help Yourself Hostels - Restelo provides a clean and convenient stay but may appeal more to those who prioritize location and price over spacious accommodations.
Beds
However, the beds don't seem to be the most comfortable, with frequent mentions of squeaky and noisy frames that could be troublesome for light sleepers. Some have also described the beds as cramped, making entry and exit a little difficult, especially for those assigned to the top bunks. On the brighter side, the mattresses received positive remarks, with a number of guests considering them comfortable.
The general consensus suggests that while the beds have some physical limitations and may not be the quietest, they do contribute to the hostel's overall character, making it a unique spot for adventurous travelers accustomed to more novel sleeping experiences.
Cleanliness
However, there are notable criticisms indicating areas for improvement. Some guests have encountered hygiene issues, with mentions of dirty bathrooms, stained sheets, and a few broken facilities. Shared bathrooms have been reported as dirty and sometimes out of service, with concerns about cleanliness in common areas. Certain reviews also note irregular night-time cleaning disruptions, suggesting a need for better organization. Despite these criticisms, the overall cleanliness of private spaces and bedding often remains a highlight for many guests.
