Rough Guide "Highly recommended, this is part hostel and part boutique hotel. The fantastic old building has far-reaching views over Lisbon."

"As if dropped from heaven on one of Lisbon’s most beautiful spots, the stylishly breezy Independente Hostel & Suites is housed behind a 19th-century façade facing the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcânta." Full review
On the Grid "Cool hostel & suites, described as “not quite a hotel”." Full review
Afar Magazine "Instead of towering triple bunk beds and communal bathrooms, expect 18 large private rooms, with an en-suite bathroom in each (complete with a luxe rain shower head and walk-in glass stall)." Full review
Lonely Planet "On the edge of the Bairro Alto, this super-stylish hostel has 11 dorm rooms (with six to 12 beds in each) and four mid-century-modern-leaning minimalist suites with balconies overlooking the Rio Tejo." Full review
Frommer's "This place stands out... get a room with a view in a Belle Époque palace that was once the official residence of Switzerland's ambassador." Full review

"In a former palace dating back to the 17th century, the 12-room Palacio Ramalhete AL is a charming, upscale bed-and-breakfast with lots of character." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"This attractive 18th-century palace delivers a real feel of authentic Lisbon, with its rich interior detail, flower-filled courtyards and literary past as home to the Maia family." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Built in the 18th century, Palácio Ramalhete hotel’s regal moniker makes it seem royally high-and-mighty; but this Pombaline-style Lisbon stay is surprisingly discreet and laid-back." Full review
Afar Magazine "There are three tiered internal courtyards, the highest of which has a small, heated outdoor pool shaded by a massive palm tree, and River Tagus views in the distance. " Full review
Michelin Guide "Tranquil place decorated with little more than courtyards, views and sunlight, that and the occasional touch of geometrically patterned tile-work...each of the twelve guest rooms is a little different" Full review
