Latest Review for Albergo Odisseo (Old Albergo Olisipo)
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
First and foremost the staff is friendly and very helpful. I had forgotten things I needed, such as an adapter for my computer--and it was provided. When raining, an umbrella was provided. Directions, help with buses and taxis, recommendations for eateries, all were provided. The rooms are spacious (I had a private, shared bathroom), and no. 3 with a great view of the city. It's a bit of a hike up the hill to the place, but good for the cardiovascular system.

YOUR COSY HAVEN IN LISBON
If you're searching for a hostel where you can feel welcomed and comfortable. The "ALBERGO ODISSEO" is the place to stay. More than a place to sleep, the Albergo Odisseo is a warm and welcoming place you can call home
Perched in one of Lisbon's iconic hills, on a totally refurbished nineteenth century building only a few yards away from glamorous Avenida da Liberdade, we host a service for the traveller or backpacker seeking tranquility and the unique ambiance of living in one of Lisbon's typical quarters. A place full of memory and tradition, were young children can safely play in the streets and the elder simply gaze away the scenery through the centuries old windows of their homes.
In addition, the friendliness of our staff, well versed in the art of knowing Lisbon by heart, and the sophisticated cosiness of our premises, will transform your stay in an unforgettable experience. If you wish to do so, making new friends from every corner of the world is indeed only a chit-chat away
Smack-dab in the centre of Lisbon, easily accessed by bus, tram or the underground, the "Albergo Odisseo" is a mere 10 minute stroll from monumental Baixa, historical Rossio, charming Chiado and night-time trendy Bairro Alto. Climb trough the romantic nineteenth century Chiado or perhaps loose yourself all night long in the multitude of bars, pubs and restaurants of nearby Bairro Alto
All of this is only a small part of the Lisbon experience. A place of both old and new. A city were tradition and modernity blend together in harmony to become more than the sum of it's parts. That's Lisbon. You'll never get to know her in only one day, but a sunny afternoon is all it takes to fall in love for life! Colourful, joyful, varied and full of pleasant surprises, that's Lisbon! You can enjoy her trough the windows of an historic tram, or, better still, walk her traditional seven hills. Get to know her secrets. Her hidden beauties. The stories and History told by her streets and her monuments, by her people and by her quarters. It's all waiting for you to discover!
In Albergo Odisseo we have for you, not only an immensely prepared and devoted staff, eager to satisfy your every wish and clear away your every doubt, but also warm and tasteful installations along with a lovely panoramic view of the city, and a fully equipped kitchen were you are free to prepare your breakfast, cook a dinner...or just a sandwich...

It's a bit of a hike up the hill to the place, but good for the cardiovascular system. The three-story walk up adds extra arobic exercise. And the price is great. I'd go back tomorrow. You''ll love the brother and sister team that run the place.

Directions
Your reference to ALBERGO ODISSEO is the Tivoli Theatre (Louis Vuitton and Escada's street), situated in front of Avenida Metro Station (blue line). You have to walk by the sideline until the end (Manuel Jesus Coelho Street), then turn left and walk a bit in Sta. Marta Street. Turn your right and walk straight to the top of Travessa Larga.
Airport - Taxi Warning
As with any other major cities, some taxi drivers can be dishonest and take advantage of foreigners
From the Airport to the Albergo Odisseo, a taxi run will cost you no more than 8 to 10, depending on the hour.
An extra fee of 1.60 is charged for the use of the luggage compartment. For obvious reasons, when arriving to us by taxi, make sure you catch it on the Departures Terminal instead of the Arrival's
From the "Gare do Oriente" Station expect about the same, and from "Santa Apolónia" around 6. Ask the driver to take you to "Rua do Passadiço", in the corner of "Travessa Larga". You should provide him with "Santa Marta" Street and the "Instituto Gama Pinto Hospital" as reference points.
From the Airport
From the Airport, you can take the Carris Aerobus 91 right in front of Arrivals, a special service which takes about 20 minutes to arrive near to the hostel. You can also take the normal buses, lines 44 and 745, 50m away in the right side of the entrance. The ticket cost 1,40 and you buy it directly with the driver. After passing by Marques de Pombal Square, you should get off at the first stop close to Avenida Metro Station (blue line) or in front of São Jorge movie theatre. If you are not sure, ask the driver.
From Sete Rios Bus Station
It's really easy coming by bus in the Sete Rios Bus Station. Take the Metro blue line there (Zoo Station) towards to Baixa-Chiado. Exit at Avenida Metro Station and look for the signs "Rua do Salitre" or "Av Liberdade". Once you are in front of Rivoli Theatre, walk by the sideline until the end (Manuel Jesus Coelho Street), turn left and walk a bit in Sta. Marta Street. Turn on the first right and walk straight to Travessa Larga.
From Oriente Train Station
Take the Metro red line towards São Sebastião. Change to the blue line and take the metro towards Santa Apolonia. Stop at Avenida Metro Station and look for the signs "Rua do Salitre" or "Av Liberdade". Once you are in front of Rivoli Theatre, walk by the sideline till the end (Manuel Jesus Coelho Street), turn left and walk a bit in Sta. Marta Street. Get your first right and walk straight to Travessa Larga
From Sta. Apolónia Train Station
Arriving in Lisbon by train at Santa Apolónia Station it's very easy to reach us: You don't even have to leave the train station. Simply take the Underground's Blue Line and exit in "Avenida" station after a ten minute journey. The Albergo Odisseo is a bare 300 metres away
another option is: Go outside and ask for the Sta. Polónia Bus Stop at Avenida Infante D. Henrique. Get the bus number 9 towards Prazeres or 745 Prior Velho and drop off at Avenida da Liberdade bus stop close to Rivoli Theatre. It takes aproximately 20 minutes.
By Taxi
From Lisbon Airport, avoid to take a taxi, it's better to walk few steps to the departure. Ask the taxi driver to drive you to "Rua do Passadiço", in the corner of "Travessa Larga" (you can say that it's close to Gama Pinto - Hospital dos Olhos). From the airport and also Oriente Train Station, the driver should charge you something beetwen 8 and 10. From Sta. Apolonia train station, it costs around 6. The driver charges 1,60 to put luggages in the trunk.
