Castilho 63

It is good for budget travelers who only need a place to sleep while out all day enjoying the city. The room was spacious and clean. My only minor concern was there was only one working shower room on my floor and every time I had to use it during normal hours, it was always occupied, but guests were allowed to use the shower one floor below and I did my shower after 12 midnight when everyone was sleeping. Also, some guests were not mindful to close the elevator metal sliding door, so guests who needed to go to their rooms on the higher floors had to climb the stairs. Other than those two issues, everything about my stay was good.

Super friendly reception staff. Well located. I would return.

Cozy, comfortable apartment. Minimalist amenities, but all the basics are covered. Inner city rooms (all rooms) are small, so take that into consideration if you are looking for elbow room. Very reliable hosts and they provide an EXCELLENT brief guide to "important things you need to know about Lisbon".

My wife and I stayed at Castilho63 for 6 nights. The bedroom was as pictured. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were much too small and thin. The bedroom window opened into a common courtyard which was often noisy into the late evenings. Music often blared through the window from below. The shared toilet and showers were down the corridor from the bedroom, and were clean and normally available. There was plenty of hot water in the showers. Only issue was the toilet paper often ran out and was not replenished until the next day. The major drawback of the overall experience was breakfast. It was a carbohydrate extravaganza (bread, cakes, cookies, muffins, and cereals) accompanied by yogurt, slices of cheese and ham, and occasionally fruit slices. Juice and coffee were provided as well. All tasted fine. However, the food and drink were placed for self-service on two small tables in a very small room. It was interesting to watch the emotions and politics as a dozen hungry patrons jostled for access to the food. Once you got your food, you sat at small picnic/camp tables with folding chairs either next to the food tables (among the jostling patrons) or outside in the common courtyard (where you hoped it wasn't raining). The overall experience could be improved ten-fold by paying greater attention to the way in which breakfast is served. One bright note is that Castilho63 is located next to an amazing Italian restaurant. We ate there several nights. Make sure to try it out!

Great place to stay, rooms were clean and comfortable. The location wasn't too far from the main attractions and sites. We easily could get where we wanted within 30 minutes of walking. Plus the metro is only a 5 minute walk down the road. There are food options nearby, as well as a supermarket. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great, we had no idea it was included until we arrived. There was coffee, juice, bread, toast, cereal, ham, cheese, fruit, muffins, cookies etc. It was a great little spread. We will stay here again next time we visit Lisbon.
