What Our Guests Say

"We stayed at this hotel for a week at the beginning of march, and it was wonderful in every way. The location is fantastic—within walking distance of many beautiful sights in Lisbon, as well as a train and metro station, restaurants, and tourist attractions."

"From the moment we walked in the door and were warmly greeted by the staff, to the early morning pre-arranged taxi (with a take away breakfast so kindly prepared), our family loved this hotel."

"The location and staff are fabulous and their breakfast spread is delicious. I highly recommend staying in the Penthouse suite if you're a group of friends - you'll have a blast!"

Bar Bica San

Although we are no longer operating as a full restaurant, we now offer a small but carefully curated selection of snacks. Set within the lobby of the Independente Bica, our focus remains on using the finest ingredients and traditional techniques from both cultures.
