You bought a solo ticket to Lisbon. That doesn’t mean you have to stay alone.
Goodmorning is designed for people traveling by themselves. Yes, we’re in the heart of Lisbon but the location isn’t what makes us different.
It’s the setup:
Common areas designed with purpose so people actually hang out
Open-style kitchen where meals are shared together
An open bar that bridges the reception staff with the buzzing livingroom
Staff who introduce people: "Hey Sarah's also going to Sintra tomorrow"
Activities if you want them (day activities, nights out, maybe even karaoke to break the ice)
Privacy when you need it (curtains on every bed, nighttime quiet hours enforced)
Day 1:
You show up nervous or excited. Staff greets you, shows you around, offers you a drink.
Day 2:
You recognize faces from breakfast. One invites you to explore Belem with them (or is it you that invites someone?)
Day 3:
You’ve made plans with your favorite guests to have a beach day.
Day 4:
You already have inside jokes with other travellers.
Day 5:
You’re exchanging Instagrams and making plans to meet up in the next city.
Solo travel, but social. That's the vibe.
We’ve won some awards. They’re cool, but honestly, the best is reading reviews from people who came alone and left as friends.
Reviews from Booking
“The best hostel in Lisbon. Breakfast with several options as it is a hostel, dinner is prepared in the main hall, making it possible to interact with the cook, new facilities, a large number of bathrooms and everything very clean, they offer complimentary towels, the rooms are locked and are opened with an individual card, every day there are interactive activities inside and outside the hostel. Exceptional location! Welcoming and very friendly staff, especially the cleaning team. It has a 24-hour reception.”

“I’m a very critical person and I say this was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Good facilities, bathrooms, with the option of a women-only bathroom, with hairdryers and everything. The bunk beds are comfortable, with curtains to maintain privacy. They provide lockers to store our things. The kitchen is super clean and spacious. But the highlight there is the interactions: super nice staff, people interacting with each other. For those traveling alone, it’s an excellent option to make friends. I participated in the karaoke night, the free group tours offered by the hostel. I made friends there that I will keep for the rest of my life.”

“Really ideal if you’re on your own! Plenty of opportunities to meet lovely people or keep yourself to yourself too if you’d prefer. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the beds were very comfy, rooms spacious with areas to store shoes, hang coats and lockers for personal belongings. Free towels handed out as and when needed. Centrally located with nice views of the city from the room and common area. Free breakfast, always plenty of options and the food was nice. Nice areas to relax or work in. Probably the best hostel I’ve stayed in where I’ve felt most at home. Makes it easy for a first time solo traveller.”

“After a month of backpacking through Europe, I can say that GoodMorning Solo Hostel is, without a doubt, the best place I stayed at. At the hostel, kindness and a spirit of inclusion reign, making everyone feel like part of a family. The beds are comfortable, and they offer a freshly made breakfast. The only downside was not staying longer.”
Braulio – Costa Rica
“There was a home-like environment. This hostel must be in every country. They provide you everything you may need. They even give you towel free of charge and again they change it anytime if you ask for it free of charge. They give you one free drink each day. Breakfast time is good and enough. Staff -oh my god- they only work for us to be more than happy. Amazing location, cleaning is great, shared showers and toilets are clean and sufficient. So much common places to get socialized. Potable water. Anytime coffee and tea. Good internet connection. Thank you guys!”

“Fantastic hostel! The staff welcomes you like a family member. You are warmly guided through the facilities. If you have never stayed in a hostel before, this is the place to go. The slogan “come as a guest, leave as a friend” truly stands strong and is 100% accurate.”

Reviews from Hostelworld
“I had an amazing great stay at Good Morning Hostel Lisbon. The staff was attentive, kind, and responded immediately whenever I needed something. They gave fresh towels when needed, addressed concerns right away, and even helped with my laundry, which I really appreciated. The girls working there were very friendly — especially the one from Greece and the one from Ireland. Great energy and conversations throughout and would definitely stay again!!”

“This was my first hostel experience and it exceeded expectations. I immediately felt like I was at home as soon as I stepped in the door. Rooms were very clean and staff was very nice. I got to know everybody in the hostel very well and we had so much fun every night!”
Grace – England
“This hostel was the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff were friendly and helpful with everything. They gave me water when I first entered, let me try the drinks for free and gave me a towel when it was raining outside. the location was good. most importantly, the social element of the hostel was 10/10. The family-styled meals encouraged everyone to sit in the shared area like a living room. Everyone talked from dinner until quiet time. Absolutely perfect for solo travellers!!”
Hannah – Australia
“Not sure anywhere else could top this hostel! The BEST experience I could have ever wished for on my first solo trip. The hostel is in a perfect location, and is very easy to get to from the airport. The rooms are spacious and all the common areas are spotless. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to ensure your time in Lisbon was perfect. Would recommend to anyone solo traveling, never a dull moment here!”
Emma – Scotland
“This is the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Europe. It made my travel experience so much better having such caring, fun staff that gathered us all to have fun every night. The common spaces are super social and comfortable, and accessible meals and drinks make life too easy. Do yourself a favour and stay here!! Shout out to JP and Lauren for being the best hosts. I’ll be back!”
