Just opened in 2015, this central Lisbon hostel with free Wi-Fi throughout the building offers fun, colourful accommodation less than a 5-minute walk from the Picoas metro station.

The Hans Brinker Hostel Lisbon holds 36 rooms, both private with en suite bathrooms, and shared dorms (mixed or female) for 4 to 10 guests. The rooms all include free Wi-Fi, free bed linens and towels as well as a safe, hairdryer and heating. A lift, washing machine, 24-hour reception and a left-luggage office are all provided to maximise convenience.

Make your stay a social experience and partake in the hostel-sponsored pub crawls, walking tours and surfing classes, and watch the sun go down over Lisbon at the rooftop terrace bar with some finger-licking good barbecue prepared by the hostel.

A 15-minute walk from Lisbon's Avenida da Liberdade, you can be in Lisbon's historic centre in a snap, or take the metro to the cool city beach.
