"At the top of one of Lisbon's most beautiful viewpoints in trendy Bairro Alto is the two-and-a-half-pearl Independente Hostel & Suites." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"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

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
