Found a hostel in Lisbon with a free breakfast that saved me $60 in 4 days
So I booked this place near Alfama for $22 a night and honestly picked it just because it was cheap. Turns out they put out a real breakfast every morning, not just toast and jam. Fresh rolls, cheese, ham, fruit, coffee, the whole thing. I ate there every day and skipped buying lunch out, which in Lisbon was running me like $12 to $15 each time. Four days of that and I basically paid for two extra nights of the room. The trick is checking the photos for an actual breakfast spread instead of a sad cereal box in the corner. Has anyone found other hostels in Europe where the free food is actually worth planning around?
