Great staff, great location, great breakfast.
The property is a bit outdated and really needs renovation
The property definitely need a good ventilation system as it is filled with kitchen smell.
It is located in the hearth of Lisbon and you have access to almost everywhere.
Superb. Really good conditions, breakfast was extremely good with tailor-made omelettes and coffee and a good selection to choose from around the buffet. Our superior room had incredible views to the miradouro - the castle could be easily seen. The staff was really friendly and helpful and stored our luggage conveniently after checkout. We will definitely come back!
This hotel is absolutely lovely. Historic and charming, well located, and with a fantastic staff. It was my boyfriend’s birthday during our stay and we arrived to find a bottle of Cava (sparkling wine) and some macarons and cake, with a nice little note. The included breakfast was just what we needed to start our days, and the area was full of great restaurants and bars, including the hotel’s own rooftop. Just out front of the hotel is a miradouro (lookout) with a great view and lots of little vendors and artists. It was noisy at times but the windows included heavy duty shutters that blocked sufficient noise. We will absolutely return to the Independente when we return to Lisbon.
Internet access terrible. No lights in hallway leading to room so a small step not visible posing a hazard. Staff at check in and breakfast room very friendly and helpful. Not so for other staff: The women at door to roof top bar made no attempt to call upstairs to ask that elevator door be shut so we could use the elevator. The bartender was rude when asked what kind of wine was offered as the welcome drink replying “ guys it’s a welcome drink”. While we are grateful for it, it would not have been difficult to indicate if it’s a dry wine, or the region etc. if known. Would not be able to recommend this hotel.
A clean and busy hostel, breakfast was a nice start to the day and the staff where friendly.
The rooms had a rustic charm but bunks where sandwiched together, some rooms had three story high bunks with no railings, and there were no privacy curtains or the storage boxes where not suitable for suitcases even a travel one. I found the rooms over crowded.
Very friendly hostel with a great view and a festival area just in front. Nice facilities but if you are looking for something more party-vibe id go somewhere else. Its neither quiet neither party vibe. The range of age is from 19 to 80
Excellent breakfast. I am so happy to meet the Mama who is such a globally connected, multilingual and funnt woman. I truly enjoyed meeting her and all the staff was helpful. Make sure to request lower bed if you have height issues, bunk beds are three story high.
They didn’t even had towels for me to rent, so I couldn’t take a shower. Also an employee told me to use a taxi and another one told me not to because they were bringing tourists to the wrong place and robbing them.
