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.

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.
