Zabava Hostel
A shared-kitchen hostel steps from O Galito in Odivelas
About this stay
Travellers staying here find a straightforward hostel built around a shared kitchen, useful for anyone cooking a cheap meal rather than eating out every night on a tight Portugal budget. The private room and dorm options give solo travellers and small groups a choice depending on budget, and the smoke-free policy keeps common areas comfortable for everyone passing through Odivelas. O Galito, three minutes away on foot, covers the nights nobody wants to cook, while the sixteen-minute taxi ride to Humberto Delgado Airport keeps arrival and departure logistics simple rather than stressful. This is a no-frills stay built for backpackers and budget travellers moving through Grande Lisboa rather than settling in for a resort-style holiday with extensive amenities or a curated social scene.
- Private room and dorm

Our take
This hostel suits solo travellers and backpackers who want a shared kitchen and a private-room option without paying central Lisbon prices. Anyone planning to cook most meals will get real value from the kitchen setup here. Travellers expecting a lively social hostel scene or an on-site bar should look toward central Lisbon instead, since this stays quiet and residential by design.
- Cook in the shared kitchen most nights to keep costs down on a tight Portugal budget
- Book the private room over the dorm if you want more privacy for the same base rate
- Eat at O Galito on nights you would rather not cook, since it sits three minutes away
Why we love it
