Selina Secret Garden Lisbon0

I loved the location. It was a good walking distance to most things you want to see in Lisbon. although I didn’t use the pool, I liked having the option to use one. the staff were really nice too and helpful.

I ended up booking a private bedroom with my own bathroom for 3 nights, which costed 450 euro. I wouldn’t have minded paying this much money until I learned that night that my room was placed on the main floor and close to the common area where everyone hangs out after the hostels bar closes. it was very noisy outside of my room! I don’t mind the noise (especially in a hostel), but when I pay a premium price for a private bathroom and bedroom, I would have expected to get a room that was farther away from the noise

Perfect place for workcation. Clean and comfy bed, clean bathroom with hot shower, many places to work from, many restaurants and grocery places close by

It is expensive versus other hostels in Lisbon, small kitchen with very loaded fridges

We have a very nice time in Lisboa staying at Selina secret garden.Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The hostel staff were always ready to answered our questions with a warm smile. The hostel is in a good location and walking distance from cafés, restaurants, train stations, metro and Baxia neighbourhood with some of the best shops and leisure activities.

The beds were made and the bathroom was clean but they always forgot to vacuum the floor. I wish they were paying a bit more attention on the cleaning of the room. The rest of the common areas were nice clean and tidy

The accommodation is good and modern, everything is clean, the beds are comfortable, I like that they have different offers for guests and the coworking space is well arranged and equipped. Every evening is some kind of socializing or yoga in the morning. They also have a common group on Whats app, so that everyone can get information if there is something going on, or it can simply be used to connect with other travelers and organize something together if you are traveling alone.

Breakfast is a bit overpriced, but that's why the shared kitchen is nicely equipped, so there's no need to book breakfast.

This was easily one of the best hostels or hotels we've stayed at! The staff were outstanding; they were happy to help at any time and went out of their way to organise us being able to watch the England World Cup game; they stored our bags when we arrived very early (and let us use the showers) and when we needed to leave late; they had fantastic attitudes throughout and seemed to love their jobs. The facilities are excellent! The whole hostel looks great and the plants everywhere are a great touch. There's a lovely cafe/restaurant but if you miss the lunch time and need dinner the food upstairs in the rooftop bar is delicious. The rooms are comfortable and spacious enough and the bathrooms are really well kept, clean and have great showers. They also have great activities on to help guests get to know each other, they don't feel forced or mandatory but just a nice extra for those looking for it. The location is ideal for exploring lots of Lisbon and we found many greats cafes, restaurants and shops around. If we were to return to Lisbon we would definitely consider staying here again!

Kitchen closes slightly earlier than we'd like but the food upstairs in the bar starts half an hour after, so no biggie at all!

The decoration and the lay-out, and facilities of the hostel / hotel was really beautiful and above beyond. It's a really private, personal hostel where you can be as antisocial or social as you like with the option of privacy of a private room or quiet time in different chill out areas of the hostel. It's pretty clean. The location is right in the heart of Lisboa, and it's super easy to get a Bolt / Uber taxi or trams, or walk to the metro. They have a lot of holistic options for relaxing which was a nice touch, I wish I had stayed there longer e.g. Women's Circles, Yoga and flow etc. They were super flexible with my late check-out that I booked last minute. I would stay again. The staff were multilingual and could speak English, Spanish and Portuguese which was great.

They only had mixed-gendered dorm rooms which made me feel uncomfortable. I was the only female in my room. It would be perfect if they offered this option. However they do have private rooms but for a lot more expense. Also our shared bathroom was out of service so I had to use a different floors bathroom which was annoying. Also my keycard stopped working either though I booked a late check-out.

The staff were exceptional. A specialty shout out to the receptionist staff who were always smiley and more than happy to help out with any questions and concerns. A big shoutout to Hugo the barman for being an incredibly friendly face and person to talk to at all times. I’d come back for a week just to have his amazing Old Fashioned’s every evening!

The wifi went down for a couple of days which was problematic for me as I had no data to use for internet outside of the UK (my fault, but still I would expect wifi at all times…).

Smart hostel with all the things you'll need. Great co-working set up with nice office as well as a pool and chillout area. Rooms are decent enough and rooftop was good too. Enjoyed the events, yoga etc.

Night staff was useless. Wasn't helpful when I checked in and then wasn't great at enforcing the curfew. Although it's a "coworking hostel" there were some groups of people who were pretty loud late into the night during the week.

The staff is amazing - very caring and respectful. We were sick a few days during our stay and they offered help and medicines. Location is amazing too - everything is easily reachable by foot. In addition, night time is respected - although there's great music on the rooftop bar, it stops around 10pm and the staff is very helpful to keep any noise down during the night.

Some of the facilities were not available due to reconstruction/weather (e.g. pool table on the rooftop)

The hostel is really great! Nice rooms, beautiful common areas, everything was well cleaned and organized. They give you a free drink on the rooftop as a welcome gift, what is lovely. The hostel is well located in Anjos neighbohood, in a walking distance from baixa-chiado metro station, and really close to nice restaurants and small markets. I met some awesome people and made new friends! It was such a great experience and I would definelly come back while visiting Lisbon next time.
