Sky Hostel is on Rua da Lapa, north of Avenida dos Aliados, and has a garden, a terrace and a common lounge. Rooms share bathrooms and some have city views. It is a good fit if you travel with a backpack and want a smoke-free hostel with outdoor spaces.
Location and getting around
Avenida dos Aliados is the nearest part of the centre: about a 10-minute walk. The Bolhão market and Livraria Lello are about 15 minutes away, and the Clérigos Tower and São Bento about 20.
To go down to Praça da Ribeira, allow a good half hour on foot. The Casa da Música is about 25 minutes to the west, and Campanhã about 40, so with luggage the metro is better.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have bed linen and use shared bathrooms with a shower and hairdryer. Some overlook the city.
There is free wifi throughout the hostel, a common lounge for chatting or planning routes, a garden and a terrace. Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the building. It is not stated whether breakfast is served.
