Daora Lisbon Apartments & Hostel

Severe reaction to bed bugs bites just 5 hours after I checked in! Huge infestation of bed bugs and the worst duty of care I’ve ever received. No compensation and the hostel didn’t respond to any of my messages regarding the bed bug infestation. Will definitely be taking this to health ministries in Portugal because this place shouldn’t be open. On top of the bed bugs, the place stunk.

I had an absolutely horrendous experience at this hostel. First, they sold me a bed in a 3-room, but when I arrived, I was directed to an open room crammed with more than 12 people. To make matters worse, they charged me twice for my stay and are taking more than 3 weeks to refund me (and I dont know if it will ever happen). The manager was the epitome of disrespect, using the reserved common space as his personal office, blasting loud music intentionally to drive away other guests. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this place if you value your money and peace of mind; it's a total waste of both.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOSTEL. I bed had bed bugs and bed bug eggs in the bed frame. The hostel would not provide a refund even though we did not stay the night we booked because of this. The owner even hung up on me on the phone claiming he didn't speak english despite speaking to me in English before I asked for a refund.

Don't book this as a tourist. You just want to leave - No windows inside the room - Everything smelled like air refresher. This could be, because people dry their clothes inside the rooms without a window. - No social hostel. We only saw old men waiting for a job, or sleeping in the kitchen - People watching lout videos in the "social" room. - If you book with hostelworld, you need to phone to come in. Otherwise you don't have a way to entry the hostel. - female restroom door could not be locked - Men in the female restroom - Restroom for men were wet and dirty - A fan was buing the whole night, inside the room. - No electric plugs in the bed only not working usb - Light not working in the bed - Receptions tried to help and was really friendly. - Metro next door - Kitchen, but we didn't use it

The communication wasn't good. The utilities (couch mainly) was dirty and the carpets and towels were still wet. When asked if my child could use the bathroom they insisted we paid before, which is a little over the top.

We reserved An appartament, but in check-in we gives us 2 bed in a Hostel

It was awful. Couldn't keep the toilet door cclosed. It kept sliding into open position. One of us had to stay out while one was using the bathroom. There were cockroaches in the room. The place is not fit at all.
