Nest House Lisbon Hostel

The breakfast was really great, the dining area and the kitchen were big, nice and clean. Other than that everything was terrible. When I first arrived for check in I entered and the check in counter is so high that you couldn’t see the girl when she was sitting behind it. She did not stand up or greeted me but proceeded to ask for my passport which I put on the counter and she asked for it again, I said it’s on the counter and she excused herself not being able to see it since the counter is so high up, I thought maybe she is in a wheelchair that’s why she is not standing up when greeting a guest but then after I checked in she suddenly stood up to show me the room. It was just weird to greet guests sitting down and not seeing them basically. I was a girl travelling alone and usually staff put you in a room with fewer men, my room was really small, with no windows and there were three older men in that room. I am sure there were other beds available for one night. It was not very comfortable. I ended up spending the night somewhere else. At checkout, I forgot a pair of shoes in the room, when I called them later of course they had not seen them, I don’t think any of the older men would steal women’s shoes. Overall, as an alone female traveller who been to many hostels in Lisbon, I would not recommend a stay here.
