Quirky but Lovely

This was our second stay here - we stayed 5 years ago, so it was just as good as last time. I think we had the same superior room which overlooked the road. Great size, very bright and airy (it had 2 large floor to ceiling windows), and nice bathroom (amazingly powerful shower) This hotel is quite quirky, so if you like one of those non descript hotels that are clean and modern without any character, then this is probably not the place for you. If you want somewhere full of character, with friendly helpful staff and great location, this is the place for you. We like our hotels to feel like they reflect the country we are staying in. One thing I would like to suggest - a toaster in the breakfast room.

Fantastic atmosphere

The hotel is located on a hill, where there is one of the official viewpoints, in a fashionable district. If you want to feel the atmosphere of Portugal, you must take the opportunity to stay overnight in this facility. We really liked the unique atmosphere of this place. We had a room with a wonderful view of Lisbon and enjoyed breakfast served in a very nice restaurant on the top of the building.

A very nice place in an area of Lisbon that has a lot of night life and dining options. Though it's not right in the center of Lisbon's attractions it is very easily reached by buses and trollies that make the uphill location easily accessible. Breakfast is served in the main restaurant and has lots of choices and a cooked to order option. I would stay again!

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 The property is a bit outdated and really needs renovation The property definitely need a good ventilation system as it is filled with kitchen smell.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!

Great hotel. Will be 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.
