Michelin Guide "This hotel has a comfortable, contemporary interior."
Lonely Planet "Steps twist up past ivy-clad walls to this 17th-century convent turned boutique stunner, with art-slung vaulted corridors and a sun-dappled courtyard." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located in the quiet Lapa neighborhood, the York House hotel is a converted Carmelite convent built in 1606." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A former 17th-century convent, turned into a boarding house by two Yorkshire women in the 19th century."
Rough Guide "Located in a sixteenth-century Carmelite convent (and hidden from the main street by high walls), rooms here are chic and minimalist."
Star Service "On a cobbled street of grand but decaying buildings, this hotel sits between Bairro Alto and the waterfront, near its tiny, less evocative sibling Janelas Verdes." Full review
Fodor's "Although it's a good way west of the center, York House is on tram and bus routes from downtown and near the Museu de Arte Antiga." Full review
i
It has a loyal, predominantly British clientele; book well in advance.
Frommer's "Once a 17th-century convent, this boutique hotel is outside the center of traffic-filled Lisbon, and so attracts those who desire peace and tranquillity." Full review

Rough Guide "Highly recommended, this is part hostel and part boutique hotel. The fantastic old building has far-reaching views over Lisbon."
Let's Go "In an opulent white building right across from the gorgeous Miradouro de São Pedro, The Independente is quite luxurious for the price." Full review

"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
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
