This was the best hotel experience I have ever had. Nestled in the perfect part of Lisbon. The breakfast is absolutely impeccable and it is so close to literally everything in the city. Also, the best coffee shop outside - Senzi. Could not recommend this place more. The staff are also lovely.
The room was clean and spacious with 2 full baths. We also received wine, drinks and snacks upon check-in. Super friendly staff, they even made dinner reservations for us which we really enjoyed. Also close to lots of dining options and landmarks.
The hotel is very clean. But, the staff are amazing. All of them but especially Nelson. I left my phone in an Uber and he spent so much time trying to help me. Big THank You!!!
Breakfast is amazing too. Would stay here again for sure.

Overall a great stay. Breakfast is great! Location is perfect for exploring on foot. However, I recommend NOT paying for taxi service through the hotel. Uber is extremely affordable in Lisbon and our taxi (arranged by hotel) was 95 euros for 3 people round trip. Uber would have been a third of that price. Make sure to check out the MilkMan restaurant across the street!!
I am so happy we found this hotel. The location was perfect, the room excellent, staff beyond friendly and the included breakfast was delicious and healthy. I can’t recommend Independente Bica enough and would definitely return.
This hotel was great! The location is perfect to walk around the city and the hotel was clean with kind staff. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning. This is a fantastic place to stay on your trip to Lisbon.
Overall experience was well worth the price.
Free mini bar with wine, coke and chips was a pleasant surprise.
Breakfast was good, and the selection ok.
Personnel was very nice and polite.
The location was perfect for me: close to the bars & restaurants, two blocks from the shore, still quiet enough.
Super modern and stylish hotel, clean and comfortable rooms, polite staff, excellent breakfast, great location, we will return to this hotel with pleasure, we have the best memories
Rooms were clean and modern and they even put some complimentary wine and beer and chocolate in the fridge. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We stayed 3 nights but in 2 different rooms (as booked at separate times when we added another day in Lisbon) and both rooms were great. Oh and the blinds are blackout. Slept so well.
