Alfama, Castelo & Graça
Great views and an easygoing vibe draw a good mix of travellers to this hilltop perch in Castelo. In addition to dorms, there's an en suite double with a particularly spacious bathroom and a double with shared bath and a nice vanity. The massive outdoor patio is a social hub.
It's a good place to meet other travellers, with yoga on the terrace, surf classes, nightly dinners and occasional barbecues.
