I finally tried sleeping in a hostel dorm in Lisbon last month

I was in Lisbon for 5 days and booked a 6 bed dorm at this place near the Alfama district. Honestly I was nervous about sharing a room with strangers, especially after reading horror stories online. But it was only 18 euros a night and the private rooms were going for 70. The place had lockers big enough for my backpack and each bed had its own curtain and reading light. The crowd was mostly people in their 20s and 30s just passing through and nobody was loud or messy. The best part was I met a guy from Australia who told me about a free walking tour that saved me like 30 euros on guided stuff. Has anyone else had a good experience with bigger dorms or do you all stick to private rooms?

Curtains are a game changer for hostel dorms, totally worth it.

@lucast81 Small privacy hacks like that make a huge difference everywhere.

Pat, which hostel was that with the good curtains?
