2. Brickoven Palace Hostel
Brickoven is one of those places that you walk into and feel right at home. This updated historic building is a great spot to add a little more character to your journey at a more than affordable price! The location is near Bairro Alto (the drinking area) so as a student/solo budget backpacker it is perfect for those who want to experience the nightlife in Lisbon.

3. Lookout Lisbon
My experience here was amazing! I enjoyed Lookout Lisbon because of the community aspect, location, the clean rooms and bathrooms, lockers, privacy curtains, perks like free breakfast and sangria, and so much more. They really put a lot of thought into making the experience great for young travelers. It is super close to the lookout (hence the name) which has a great view overlooking the city. And it is extremely close to Bairro Alto as well.
