I was there for 5 days, some days were good and other less. There was lots of noise, not the fault of the staff but other guest. The rooms were big, the washroom clean, computer available for everyone. Everything was cleaned every day. I had a great time there.

Beautiful hostel: Great staff, great ambiance, nice rooms (suites are the best), perfect location (in the centre of Lisbon). We were there with a group of 66 girls. Every girl enjoyed it a lot. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We got a few tips from them for nice places to see and clubs to go out and restaurants... More

I stayed at the Independente for about a week and had an amazing time. Not only were the rooms and bunk beds really cool, but the whole hostel had a hip, modern vibe and it was very easy meeting new people. I traveled alone but I would also highly recommend it for people traveling with friends. The staff was extremely... More

Good hostel, individually locked rooms with key card access, basic breakfast included, decor is a bit odd for my tastes but each to their own. Bathrooms were clean, staff friendly. Free computer usage in each floor. It demonstrates what a hostel should provide travellers.

Cozy, amazing value, friendly service! The hostel is in a perfect location, situated at the top of one of Lisboa's 7 hills, with a view of the Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara (complete with open air cafes fountain and a gorgeous view:: of Chiado, Lisbon's "downtown" area, and historic landmarks like the Castle and Se, and the River Tejo).

an excellent hostel offering exceptional value for money and first class hospitality. The building - the former residence of the Swiss Ambassador to Portugal - retains a grand atmosphere with large rooms and tall ceilings. It possesses a laid-back atmosphere with eclectic styling and charming, helpful, multi-lingual staff. Breakfast (cereal, juice, hot chocolate/tea/coffee, ham, cheeses and bread with jam) is... More

If you want to sleep friday and saturday nights be aware noise is quite loud. Located right next to area with lots of bars. Also panoramic view over the city from the park in front of hostel. Staff was friendly and advised you any way they could. Bar in downstairs seemed to be quite popular.

Loved this hostel/suite which is very bohemian in character. Our suite was very spacious and the bathroom was of ample size too with a large shower. The room was clean and had a coffee making machine although you need to ask for this to be replenished at a cost they did not charge us as we were unaware and we... More

I don't usually write comments, but I really recommend this hostel to all, specially if you're traveling alone. The location is great, tasteful decoration, very good price and the breakfast (even when it's just a coffee and two slices of bread) it's included. The restaurant and bar is a place to visit itself, very nice drinks (and barman) and there... More
