A charming stay in the heart of Lisbon. The Independente blends heritage character with a relaxed, social atmosphere that makes it ideal for travellers who value both comfort and community. We stayed in a six-bed dorm with shared bathrooms — everything was clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully maintained. The breakfast was generous and great value for the price, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, always ready with local tips or a smile. With its beautiful building, excellent location overlooking the Miradouro, and a lively yet respectful vibe, it’s a place that makes you feel part of Lisbon rather than just visiting it.

Older hotel, furnished in a vintage style. Nice and friendly staff however there is room for improvement: Wifi not great Hot water runs out in shower very quickly Not informed about how to contact front desk with any issues, no phone in the room Very small elevator, like a closet so if you have lots of luggage or mobility issues, be wary Breakfast staff friendly, choices limited, but nice to have

Charming building and dining patio. Beds were extremely comfortable. The space was clean. Bathroom space very cramped, was manageable for the women. The location was outstanding, safe, walkable and lively. The best view point of Lisboa! I highly recommend.

We liked its excellent location in the popular Bairro Alto district, across the street from the city lookout spot, Miradouro de Sáo Pedro de Alcántara. They did have a small elevator, but then we had to descend and ascend five steps each, once we reached our floor (one of our suitcases was especially heavy, so this was difficult). There was an espresso maker, but I needed reception to come show me how to use it. Then, after the first night, the coffees were not replenished, so I had to go ask for more, and even then they were out of regular coffee (only decaf). The room was small and comfortable. The desk was open 24/7, so that was nice.

The room was cool and quirky, large and the bedding nice and clean. The shower was old and leaky but the overall theme is that it’s old and quirky and some things are not pristine. The shutters weee great for blocking out sunlight for a nice dark room to sleep in. We did have an unexpected person try to get in our room one night and fortunately we had the chain on the door, so they couldn’t get the door fully opened. It was a bit unsettling that there was a security issue. The rooftop bar was cool (although a bit pricey) the location was great too and the breakfast was simple but tasty.

If you are a tall or XL person, it is diffcult to stand &/or sit on the toilet with the door closed, as the stalls are very small. The washing machine is convenient as it adds detergent, but the dryer ran for 1 hour and left my clothes very damp. There was no heat, despite selecting the highest heat setting. Also there are little (human) mice that ate 1/2 of my food in the refrigerator, despite it being labeled with my name and check out date. I guess they were in need of a meal.

This lovely building offers an amazing view. I chose a lower bunk bed but i was put in the in the middle, but there’s really no privacy. The pictures made me think the beds were set with privacy curtains , but they weren’t. There was a conversation area, but it didn’t work. Breakfast is okay, but it’s rationed. I tried to eat an extra egg, but they wouldn’t let me. It’s good value money, but I won’t be returning.

Conveniently located but female front desk staff looked blasé (maybe I'll be being in the epicenter of touristic Lisboa but whatever, the male receptionnists were cool). Also not a fan of the dorm beds sketchy "stairs" and black mould in the room and bathrooms?! Breakfast was very cool tho. The breakfast staff are the loveliest of the bunch. Super cute garden patio too!

Lovely old building across the street from one of the best lookouts in Lisbon. Although mostly a hostel, very worth taking a 3rd floor solo room. If you need to leave early, breakfast will not be an option (nor will the elevator).

Fabulous location with many great restaurants and bars within a block or two. The room was clean and cute and the view was great. Staff was helpful and the breakfast included was delightful and delicious. I would stay there again and again and I hope that I get the chance! This hotel had a lot of old world charm and quirky personality.

5 stars all around!

This hotel was so cool! Really charming decor inside, and the location was great. The breakfast spread was very good every morning, and the rooftop bar was so much fun. They held our bags before we could check in and after we checked out; Shakira was so helpful during check-in! Will definitely be staying here again when I come back to Lisbon and would definitely recommend to someone else.
