How can I arrange my meals at Boavista 83?
Arranging your meals with us is simple: you can add them during your room booking process, or you can sort it out with our crew when you arrive. We want you to feel at home, and that includes making it easy to grab a great breakfast or a satisfying lunch without any hassle. Ms.Chelin is our little oasis of bold simplicity, and we welcome you to join us whenever you’re hungry.
Can I book my hostel meals in advance?
Yes, and we highly recommend it, especially if you’re visiting during the busy season! The easiest way is to add a breakfast or meal option when you book your stay with us online. This guarantees you a spot and makes your arrival even smoother. If you forget or decide later, just send us a message, and our local hosts will get it sorted for you.
What if I want to add meals during check-in?
Not a problem at all! We’re flexible. If you arrive and the aroma of Lisbon favourites from Ms.Chelin’s kitchen wins you over, just let our front desk team know. We can add breakfast for the next morning or for your entire stay right there on the spot. We’re here to make your experience welcoming and straightforward.
Do I need to confirm my meal choices before I arrive?
No, there’s no need to choose specific dishes in advance. If you’ve pre-booked a meal plan, you’re all set. You can just come down to Ms.Chelin and choose from our daily menu. We serve breakfast and brunch from 7:00 to 14:00, so you can decide what you’re in the mood for when you wake up.
How do I pay for meals at your hostel?
You can pay for your meals in several convenient ways, either by adding the cost to your final room bill or by paying directly at our restaurant. We believe in keeping things simple, so you can choose the option that works best for you. Whether it’s a quick coffee and pastry or a full brunch before exploring Cais do Sodré, payment is never a chore.
We accept major credit cards and cash at Ms.Chelin, so you can pay as you go if you prefer. Alternatively, just ask our crew to add it to your room tab. We’ll settle everything up in one go when you check out, making for a seamless and uncomplicated departure. It’s all about providing a relaxed and welcoming experience from start to finish.
What’s the best way to secure my meal bookings with you?
The best way to secure your meal bookings is to indicate your preferences when you reserve your room online, but you can also just contact our team or drop by Ms.Chelin. Planning ahead ensures you won’t miss out, but we always do our best to accommodate spontaneous cravings for good food and a cold beer. Our doors are open, and our kitchen is ready.
What information do you need when I book meals?
All we need is your name and booking reference so we can link the meals to your stay. If you have any specific dietary requirements or allergies, please give us a heads-up in advance. Our kitchen team at Ms.Chelin will do their best to prepare something delicious and suitable for you.
How far in advance should I make meal reservations?
For breakfast, letting us know the night before is perfect, though you can often just walk in. For our dinner and snack service, which runs from 15:00 to 22:30 from Thursday to Saturday, booking a day ahead is a good idea as we can get busy with locals and guests alike. Spontaneity is part of the fun, but a little planning never hurts!
What confirmation will I receive after booking my meals?
If you add meals during your online room booking, they will be itemised on your official booking confirmation email. If you arrange it with us in person upon arrival or during your stay, our team will confirm it with you directly and make a note on your reservation. You’ll be all set to enjoy some boldly uncomplicated Lisbon flavours.
