It can get very loud with the park across the street at night. There's no real air conditioning, the units that are inside the rooms are pretty small and make it difficult to cool the massive rooms. But they do make a difference.

An excellent restaurant on the property, with great food. A very safe and comfortable place to stay. Staff is very helpful and speak English very well.

Some of the people staying in the hostel seemed bothered by normal noise - I don’t really understand why you would stay in a shared dorm if you’re a light sleeper! That’s just the reality of staying in a hostel, especially in an area surrounded by bars and clubs. Having more breakfast options would be nice, it was a bit simple and repetitive but otherwise fine to just start the day!

The hostel is great if you want to be in the heart of Barrio Alto and party. There’s so many affordable places to eat and drink around the area. I was worried about staying in a 12 bed dorm but it was actually fine! The beds were comfortable and clean. The bathroom was great - strong water pressure on the 1st floor, super clean, liquid soap provided and even a hairdryer if you need one like me! Happy hour in the bar downstairs is really good too. The staff are all so lovely and were really kind and helpful when someone stole my phone (out and about in Lisbon). There’s very few things I would improve in this hostel, especially as I had booked another hostel for after this and it made me realise that this one was almost perfect, I feel like they thought of almost everything!

Staying at the Independente is as staying with friends who adore to have guest and are perfect hosts. All your needs are listened to and any moment of uncertainty you could go through during your travel is supported with calm and accuracy by a very skilled and prepared team. The only problem is that you wouldn't ever leave ;) (perfect for people who follow a gluten and lactose free diet)

1. I emailed from California asking if you could arrange a taxi pickup and never got an answer. 2. Could have used a couple more coat hangers. But who cares? Loved our stay.

Check in was easy. Room and bathroom perfect. Loved mix of guests. Good breakfast - and good that it was available until 11. Laundry convenient. Location couldn’t be better. Staff all friendly and helpful - front desk, breakfast, cleaning. Especially enjoyed Lourdes at breakfast and watching Warriors basketball at 2:30-5 am with Ricardo at front desk TV. Wish I remembered more names because everyone terrific.

Best location in Lisbon! Easily able to get around but never have to walk far as it’s such a central location. Rooms have a great view and very spacious for 9 people.

if you have a problem with noise, avoid. this is not the hotels fault but the area is full of bars. don’t expect too much from breakfast

Great location! suite rooms are furnished beautifully. Hotel staff is very friendly, they offered us drinks while waiting for check in. we will come back again.
