They didn’t even had towels for me to rent, so I couldn’t take a shower. Also an employee told me to use a taxi and another one told me not to because they were bringing tourists to the wrong place and robbing them.

The location is fantastic. This is a funky hotel- it’s an old mansion with large rooms. Half is a hostel. Breakfast is good. They also have a small rooftop bar. Very bohemian

Location was fantastic as long as you don't mind the walk up every evening (or take a car or tram). Breakfast was decent. Can be bit noisy with people singing outaide at night but that's the price for it being in a popular area. Will definitely stay again!

This was a fun and funky hostel, but our private room was very nice. It was roomy, had a small but good bathroom and a comfortable bed. The lighting could be improved. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very nice. The location was very convenient with many good dining options very nearby. You can pick up an Tuk-Tuk across the street. It was a 10-15 Euro ride to and from the airport on Uber.

Great location, magnificent view from rooftop bar and the square right in front of the hotel, friendly staff, clean and soundproof. While the hotel keeps historical features, the carpet is outdated, the vanity is too tiny and squeezed in the corner.

The good: This hostel has preserved some of the grand architectural details from its former life, lending it a lot of charm. The included breakfast was good. The staff were nice, and it was clean. The small plaza across the street from the hostel has gorgeous views of Lisbon.
For the less-good: I was in a dorm room, and they really ought to add privacy curtains to the bunks. When you have 8 people coming and going, a curtain really makes it more private and cuts down on the light pollution. Also, I arrived quite early in the morning, and while they were able to stow my luggage, they wouldn’t allow me to use the shower until after check-in. Guys, it’s a communal shower accessed from the hallway - I wouldn’t have to go into anyone’s room, I wouldn’t be creating extra work for anyone, I’m staying at yourhostel for several days, you have my ID and credit card… just let me wash the plane grease off, ok? What’s the issue?

Hi Jessica!Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us, here in Independente Príncipe Real!We are delighted to see that you enjoyed your time here!Thank you so much for the amazing score given and for the kind words shared, while letting us know how your experience here in the hostel went! The team will be so incredibly happy to know that they helped improve your time here Thank you so much for the shout out! Also for mentioning our decoration and locaton. Regarding the shower before the check-in in, there must have been some miscommunication and I apologize for that because usually it is not a problem to let you go use the shower or even the common area, if you just want to sit or eat something. So I am sorry that you experienced that. Hope this was not reason enough for not coming back (: Again thank you for taking the time! Cheers,AntónioFront Office SupervisorIndependente Príncipe Real
