Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was a nice, centrally located spot. My room was well-lit and had a lovely view from the balconey. The kitchen area was kept really clean and it was nice to have access to a kitchen. There are comments about the neighborhood, but as a woman traveling alone I never had any issues coming and going from the apartment at all hours. Nobody ever bothered me. I would stay at the Color Hostel again.

Hotel itself was very clean, staff responded fast through message so we could enter in with code, the actual room it’s safe as someone would have to go through 2 coded doors and a locked door or climb 6 stories, the outside was definitely on a sketchy road people were staring so make sure to look at your surroundings and the people at ALL TIMES. I probably wouldn’t go alone, other than that the room was amazing for the price and bed was very comfty!

Not recommended

The stay was terrible, I'll describe my experience: The guesthouse is located in Little India of Lisbon and I felt super unsafe as a solo traveller. No communication before I arrive, had to wait 15 minutes in the open street with my luggage before I got my passcode, imagine the anxiety. I got a room worse than it was promised, they told me my original room was not ready, I had no choice because I just wanted to get into the hotel. The next day they offered me an upgrade to a nice room in city center with private bathroom, which I think is good. It's just I didn't have a good first night, the street condition of the initial guesthouse is really bad, check online before u book.

I can not fault the hostel. It was clean and well furnished. The area was not safe in my opinion. There is open drugs taking, dealing on the street outside the flat and open solicitations. Not safe for solo females.

Nice guest house

I chose this guest house due to its location in Lisbon rather than for the fact that it was a guest house and in this regard it is great as it is located near close to the centre and within walking distance of several tourist sites and metro stations. The room is basic but comfortable and the facilities were good and well maintained.
