Very helpful staff provided me all informations I needed and helped with everything. Rooms are with lots of space and beds comfortable. I can only recommend!

My friends and I had such a great stay at The Independente over our four night booking. The location is super convenient to get around Lisbon, and even though it’s in Barrio Alto, the noise from the streets did not keep us up. We stayed in a six person dorm and there was a/c and a fan in the room, not to mention shutters to block any light from the enormous windows. I have stayed in countless hostels and I have never been in one that actually allowed you to comfortably sleep your hangover away in darkness. The breakfast was a bit basic, but due to the awesomeness of everything else, I would totally stay here again.

old world charm, familiar creative types, loved the shower-head (excellent water pressure), friendly people excited to be there. the key card was easy to use. Loved the restaurant The Decadente, however The Insolito is overpriced. Not worth it except for a drink, snack and the view.

A beautiful hostel right in the middle of everywhere you want to go in Lisbon! The rooms looked exactly like they did online which was nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. I appreciated that in the communal dorms they supplied locks for your bunk storage so you didn't have to buy or pay to rent one. But my absolute favorite part of the hostel was the restaurant attached in the back. The food and drinks there were so delicious!! Best lemonade we've ever had in our lives. The breakfast here was the traditional European bread and jam but I do like that they had an option to add a bit more sustenance(eggs and bacon or other egg options) to it for only a couple of euros.

A breakfast buffet is served every morning at The Decadente Restaurant. Just next door is the rooftop Insólito Restaurant & Bar, with a bold dinner menu and a scenic view over Lisbon.

“A delightful place for travellers to begin a trip through Portugal”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
I would have liked to have seen more variety for breakfast. The breakfast itself was simple which I didn't mind but perhaps include some different cold meats such as turkey or chicken maybe even some veal or fish.
The Breakfast was simple and good. It didn't cater to for Halal or vegan something I think shoul dbe considered but there was plenty of opportunity to make a few sandwich snacks for the road. Also the location is very good, close to the station and along a main road, making it very easy to find. Just be prepared though you will be walking up hill a lot but that is Portugal in general. The facilities were good I enjoyed the cleanliness of the place and I am hard to impress. The staff were really pleasant and helpful.

When someone walks in the room, the hole bed shakes. So i didnt sleep at all. Also the staff only told me where my room was and they didn’t tell me where the common room was, so i found that out on my checkout day. The breakfest was also dissapointing. They had slices of bread and ham and cheese. And museuli stuff but only hot milk to combine it with. And the coffee was way to strong.
I met some really nice people.

No ceiling lights in dorm, just bunk lamps so people leave door open for light which can be loud/unsafe when sleeping. No ensuite and design of communal bathrooms are awful and really lower the standard overall - the plastic grids you stand on in showers hurt your feet. Staff at desk and in restaurant seem unhappy. No dish soap in kitchen. Wifi would cut out in dorms. It's a bit of a 'rabbit warren' in that there are different stairs and doors to get to each floor with minimal signage. On a very busy street, noise from traffic all night and hard to sleep through if people open windows rather than use air con. Second morning no jam at breakfast things ran out quickly and staff slow to replenish; no plates. No fruit at breakfast. If big groups stay they cram into the bathrooms at the same time and obstruct others from using them. No one talks to each other in dorms, not even a hello very often. Bunks are triple (three high) so check in early if you dont like heights!
Very aesthetic old building with cool design and furniture throughout (accept the bathrooms)! Shared lounge is nice place to spend time. Hair dryer in bathroom. Muesli at breakfast. Staff do clear out the fridge. Very central location and usually there is a pleasant park garden across the road but it was being totally dug out and renovated during this stay.
