The Independente Hostel & Suites

“Great location and beautiful rooms, with just a few minor hiccups”

✅Beautiful Rooms & Comfy Beds: Our room was gorgeous, featuring high ceilings, stunning windows, and super comfy beds.

✅Beautiful Rooms & Comfy Beds: Our room was gorgeous, featuring high ceilings, stunning windows, and super comfy beds. We were lucky enough to have a corner room at the end of the corridor, which meant we couldn't hear the lift or any of the hustle and bustle of people going in and out. The in-room coffee machine also made delicious coffee! ✅Brilliant Location: It’s in a lively, vibrant neighbourhood with bus and tram stops right outside the building. There is also a gorgeous viewing area opposite the hotel, which was the perfect spot for chilling out in the evening with a drink. ✅Clever Layout: Even though there is a hostel attached to the brand, they are in completely separate buildings, so the hotel portion feels entirely distinct and private. ✅Excellent Staff & Service: The staff were polite and incredibly helpful. The maid service was great, keeping us stocked with fresh towels and making the bed daily. Check-in and check-out were very easy with generous timings, and the luggage storage was super convenient. 👎Air Conditioning: Unfortunately, the air conditioning didn't work throughout our 4-night stay (we are currently in contact with the hotel regarding compensation). However, the staff were quick to provide us with a fan. Combined with the breeze from our open corner windows, we managed to stay comfortable. 👎Rooftop Access & Info: The staff didn't offer much information about the hotel restaurant or the rooftop bar at check-in; we actually had to use Instagram to find out what was going on. It is worth noting that public access to the rooftop bar is through the hotel side, which made us slightly unsure of how secure that area is for guests. 👎Rooftop Availability & Noise: During our 4 nights, the rooftop was only open to the public for one evening due to private events. The music was quite loud on the second floor. However, to the hotel's credit, it stopped bang on midnight. They also thoughtfully provided earplugs, and between those and the fan, the noise didn't bother us too much. = Overall, it’s a wonderful hotel with a lovely team, just slightly let down by the tech issues and communication regarding their amenities. We’d still highly recommend it for the location and room quality alone!

I have never stayed in such a unique hotel it was very different but in a good way! the staff were all wonderful especially they lovely young man on reception(sorry I didn’t get your name) and the lady whom made our coffees for our breakfast. The bedding was incredible! The windows block out any street noise and the shutters totally block out any early morning sunshine.
