The Independente Suites & Terrace

"I stayed one night at The Independente Hostel & Suites in Lisbon and enjoyed it. The location is great—close to Bairro Alto and the nightlife, so it’s easy to explore the area. The views of Lisbon from outside the property are beautiful, and the bedroom had a cool layout and nice decor that made it feel inviting. Everything was clean, and since it wasn’t very busy during my stay, the rooms were only half full, which made it feel more relaxed and quiet."

"A truly great hotel, quirky but has everything you need and is in the best place in Lisbon with easy access to all areas. Bear in mind that Lisbon is extremely hilly but there is a good bus and tram service which is very reasonable fare wise. We also had a brilliant meal in their restaurant Le Decedente. Really innovative menu of Portuguese cuisine served by very helpful and welcoming staff. Breakfast is also served consisting of a buffet with all the usual elements, plus freshly cooked dishes should you want a hot breakfast. We stayed there five years ago and were only too happy to go back when we returned to the city. We were especially pleased to find that Big Mamma still worked in the breakfast room, she is such a welcoming, happy and cheerful lady, who really does set you up for a fantastic day. To cap it all she recognised us and asked where our travelling companions were! (we were 4 five years ago but on 2 this time). I would really recommend this hotel whether you are young or of a more mature age like us!!"

"A lovely old and comfortable hotel. Very clean. The restaurant is excellent and has a very interesting menu. The staff are friendly, helpful, polite and are characters in their own way. The hotel is conveniently situated for exploring the city of Lisbon and is situated next to a viewpoint over the city and the Gloria tram elevator. I would recommend this hotel."
