The Independente Hostel & Suites

Good location, right opposite a Sunset viewing balcony (miradouro). Note the location is an uphill walk from most directions. Clean hostel. Not very social but had a nice enough common area. Toilets & Showers were fine, no hooks for clothes but the bathrooms are gendered so wasn't really bothered. The triple bunks are intimating luckily I was on the bottom. They felt sturdy & had a nice step set-up to access. No Curtains on beds or in mixed dorm I stayed in. Glad I bought an eyemask & a saraong!

The location is great, right in front of the hostel you have oen of the most iconic views in all of lisbon to watch the sunset. In addition, that same park in front of the hostel has Djs everynight that play till a reasonable hour with a small food market there too. The hostel itself isn't a social hostel. The staff was kind but didn't seemed like they really cared about some of their ammenities not working. The breakfast in the morning was reasonably priced. The AC worked well which is always a plus in Eur

Advertised as AC and individual fans on bed - ac was not functioning and made a high pitch noise all night, no fans on bed. Insuffferably hot all night.ain door to room didn’t shut so room not secure, place was an absolute mess - all bins over flowing, pots full of pasta in the sink. Fairly noisy but it’s to be expected on a hostel. Good location, nice building but the positives end there. No AC or fan when that’s was was advertised as the biggest issue though as it’s specifically why I booked.
