About

Set in the liveliest neighbourhood in Lisbon, between Príncipe Real and Bairro Alto, this 19th-century palace is home to one of Lisbon's most stylish hostels!

Set in front of the city's most beautiful view point (Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara), The Independente offers both the chance to stay in a premium location as well as the comfort sought after by any backpacker.

A restaurant, a bar, an exclusive guest lounge and a secluded beer garden where locals and travellers alike meet every day are part of The Independente experience. Everybody says that if you want to know a city you must know its locals!

Our 12, 9 and 6-bed dorms are spacious and aired, and all include our custom designed triple bunk beds, with built-in secure storage. Counting 90 beds in total, we have exclusive female dorms, and plenty of bathrooms throughout the building.

They blast music at the bar late into the night way past 12am. If you are looking to sleep at night this is not the place for you. Why they are throwing a huge music party late at night is beyond me.

Hostelworld says

The Independente Hostel & Suites is set in a stunning, opulent building originally built as an ambassador?s residence. This means the rooms are spacious and feature high ceilings so there?s plenty of space for the comfortable, custom-made bunk beds. Hostelworld guests have had high praise for the friendly staff, saying they ?always seem to have smiles on their faces?. They also have an onsite bar and beer garden ? and we particularly like the delicious food in their restaurant.
