Outsite Coliving

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at Outsite and will make it my go-to place to work when I’m in Lisbon. The Space is welcoming, staff are great and there’s interesting monthly events where you can meet people. It’s also very reasonably priced. Bravo Outsite!

if you're a digital nomad (or just a remote worker) in Lisbon, this is the place you HAVE to visit. you can elect to either actually stay here (as I did) or just come work at the cafe. I had an amazing experience with both. Alejandra (co-work manager) and Ines (co-live manager) both did an amazing job creating such a great community at Outsite. the community is really what made my experience here so specia.

Instagram vs. reality hit really hard at Ousite Lisbon Cais do Sodre. Some of the rooms are super dark, have no windows and the room with the ensuite shower is super humid and smelly. Also the "living / coworking room" of the flat on the 4th floor is a small room without any windows or daylight. The kitchen is okay but there are really just the very basics available, not even wine glasses can be found. I met another girl here who was so unhappy that she left after 2 days only. I also reached out to customer support to ask for a room change since I did not feel like staying in a humid, smelly room without a window. I was told "that the room description says so" which I found really insulting and not customer-friendly at all. I could have changed to another room but after seeing it, I can say that it was even worse. It might be that the rooms with big balconies and windows are better. However 80 € per night for rooms that are not in a good condition (rusty shower, shower leaking, plaster flaking off ...) are too much - especiall since my room was supposed to be one of the better ones. The coworking space downstairs is nice and the house is really central but did not make up for the room and the bad customer service. After this stay, I canceled my Outsite membership and will not book a stay with them again. I see a clear misfit here between the images and the brand image that is conveyed via Instagram and the website and what really happens onsite.

Good coffee and good facilities if you need a place to work for a day or two. I enjoyed it and found the staff helpful and the coffee quite good as well. Would definitely recommend!

The largest perk of Outsite to me is the community that is built-in. This was my first solo travel / digital nomad experience, but I never truly felt alone! I found others working in my timezone quickly, and we made plans to adventure while on off-work hours and it helped me to see so much more of Lisbon than I would have otherwise! BUT, this location in particular has a small issue with cleanliness / unknown illness occurring in residents. There's a particular smell here, I suspect it may be some hidden mold or poor drainage somewhere. If Outsite can fix this aspect, and give their oldest property a facelift, it would be perfect 5 stars!
