Residencial Marisela

I only stayed one night because the bad reviews put me off booking longer, and I really regret that now. I'm writing this at the airport as I leave the country. I've lived in Lisboa for a few months and tried six hostels, and this was the best. I paid 13 euros for a room with just two beds and my own bathroom. It felt more like an old hotel than a hostel. I care most about getting good sleep, and this is ideal if you're on a budget and don't need to socialize. The location felt safe and was convenient for walking to local, authentic, low-priced restaurants. There's also a big Aldi about five minutes away on foot. The receptionist was a kind grandpa who doesn't speak English, and the staff had a gentle, warm vibe that made me think of Spain. I don't know why I brought up Spain, I just mean Spanish people are kind and warm-hearted. I hope the hostel does well, and thanks for the service.

The Wi-Fi was good, and the location was perfect. It’s a cheap, rustic place with old equipment and it was often dirty, but the quality matched the price. If you just need somewhere to sleep and don't care about comfort, I'd recommend it. It was very good for that.

The room was tidy and clean, and the staff were all very nice and friendly. It’s on the third floor, reached by stairs, which felt reasonable. There’s plenty to do nearby, and it’s not too far from the city center. I had a lovely stay in Lisbon and strongly recommend the place.

The staff were really nice and helpful. It’s a good-value place for a few nights in Lisboa, though it’s obviously not the Four Seasons. The beds could be comfier, and having a fan would be nice.
