“I hadn't planned to come to Lisbon, but I spent a week here. Swisslisbon came as a lucky catch among overpriced hostels. It did what it promised: neat, clean, professional, and attentive. The location suited drivers, with parking nearby, and communication was smooth. Rooms were nice though small, with comfy, clean beds. The 24-hour service and nearness to Lxfactory stood out too.”
