Our verdict
Lisbon Calling is closer to a characterful guesthouse than a backpacker hostel: Hostelworld showed only private-room prices when we checked, reception hours are limited and it scores 8.6 on Hostelworld. Choose it for a couple or small group who want a room with period features near Cais do Sodré; skip it if you want a dorm bed or a social scene.
