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

Fantastic place with great location and a good breakfast. We stayed in the private rooms on top floor with a balcony overlooking the entire city. Note the first 2 floors is a hostel with multi bed rooms so make sure to check before you book.

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!

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.

Only negative was that the lift wasn’t working but was being repaired when we were there. Would definitely book it again and recommend it to friends!

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.
