"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

"Located in the oldest part of the capital, Santiago de Alfama's 19 rooms are all different whilst celebrating the best of Portugal." Full review
Fodor's "The magic happens in a reformed 15th Century palace, long-abandoned but now brought beautifully back to life as one of Lisbon's most stylish lodgings." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A derelict 15th-century palace in Alfama is now a discriminating 19-room boutique escape by discerning Dutch hotelier Heleen Uitenbroek, who has stamped a keen sense of place everywhere." Full review
Afar Magazine "The property also has the amenities of a larger hotel, including a spa, meeting space, and two restaurants, including Manny’s Bar for lingering over petiscos and Portuguese specialties." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"In 2015, Dutch hospitality dreamer Heleen Uitenbroek turned a ruined 15th-century palace into Lisbon's latest luxury sleeps at this 19-room bastion of style." Full review
Michelin Guide "It spans just 19 rooms, which means even the most (relatively) humble room offers ample space to spread out...and the views, thanks to Lisbon’s hilly topography, are impressive." Full review
