Our verdict
If you arrive by train, The Passenger is hard to beat: it is inside São Bento station, a short walk from the centre and the river. A 9.7 Hostelworld score, step-free access and curtained beds make it an easy choice. It is calm rather than a party hostel, and dorms start at €21.60 on Hostelworld.
