Hotel do Chiado

Located in a prime tourist area, this hotel is perfect for a short vacation in Lisbon, whether with family or as a couple. The staff is exceptionally friendly, providing outstanding hospitality. Its location is unbeatable—just a short walk from major Lisbon attractions, including the iconic Santa Justa Lift. Our first impression at check-in was a bit surprising, as the street-level lobby is quite small and unassuming. However, once we took the elevator to the main hotel level, we were pleasantly surprised by a beautifully maintained space with stunning views. We stayed in a room with a terrace, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline and St. George’s Castle. The breakfast area also boasts fantastic panoramic views of Lisbon, making for a delightful start to the day. A special thanks to Tomas at reception for his warm assistance and valuable local tips—they truly made our stay even more enjoyable! 😊

Loves this hotel! Staff was super friendly and helpful. They helped coordinate transfer from the airport so when we arrived someone was there with a sign waiting for us (pay them cash). View was spectacular! I never mentioned it was my wife’s bday and they supposed is with a complementary bottle. Drinks were delicious at the bar. If we visit Lisbon again, we will absolutely stay here again. Room 712 is in a perfect spot if it’s available I’d recommend that room. There is a mini bar in the room. Shower was great and clean. Huge towels that we loved! And when we walked in the room it smelled lovely. Like it was freshly cleaned just for us.

Perfect location for this lovely hotel. Our room was great with a small terrace with a fabulous view. We are in the restaurant the evening we arrived and the food was delicious. All the staff were friendly helpful and professional. Especially Ricardo who really looked after us. It was our special anniversary and there was a lovely bottle of chilled fizz and pastries waiting for us in our room. We highly recommend this lovely hotel and look forward to returning soon. Thank you all.

My husband and I had such a lovely time at Hotel Do Chiado! The staff were wonderful and so friendly! We had a room with the most amazing view. The location was walkable to shops and restaurants. We made the best decision staying at this hotel vs. other ones.

Wonderful welcome and the most friendly and helpful team. The food and service were excellent. The concierge in charge of the dining areas could not be more accommodating and helpful. The reception staff were also very pleasant and friendly. My wife and I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, very clean and comfortable room, well located near the old town, waterfront and busy shopping area.

Excellent service giving us a very welcome feeling. The location of the hotel is at the centre of the tourism area and metro is just right below the building, which is very convenient to any place that you want to visit. The breakfast is nice and the breakfast room would let you have a good morning. Also, the view of the roof top bar is fabulous, I highly recommend to at least have a drink there.

Staying at Hotel do Chiado was one of the best experiences I've had in terms of location, team hospitality and personal attention to details. The hotel team worked with me when I had to cancel my original reservation due to a medical emergency and helped me get my payments assigned to the new future date. They were very easy to work with and helped me along with anything I needed. Once I got to the hotel, I was super impressed by the personal attention to details at the hotel. First of all, the location, our room and views from the 7th floor were amazing. I watched the sunrise over Lisbon twice from our room terrace, when I was up early. I was able to walk to every location we needed to due to the hotel's central location in Lisbon. The staff wished me and my wife happy birthdays and got us a special gift of Champagne to celebrate. That was a very nice touch. They also helped with recommendations and tips for our stay in the city. It wasn't just one team member, the entire team took pride in their work and made us feel special every day during our stay there. Very happy with our experience and I would recommend Hotel Do Chiado to anyone with hesitation. If you want one of the best locations in Lisbon, you want that old school classy personal attention to detail and a super helpful team available to you and if you want one of the best views in Lisbon, stay at this hotel!!

This is a lovely centrally located hotel, accessible to the sights in the historic center. The room we had was spacious and well appointed. The staff was very helpful, particularly since we had some specific needs. The rooftop bar is enjoyable, but hang onto your hat! Lisbon is a windy city . . . If we had opportunity to return, I would stay there again.

Nice clean room With a beautiful view of the city. Lovely rooftop bar. Customer service was very good. They only minor issue was when we asked for an Italian restaurant recommendation. The gentleman behind the desk seemed insulted, asking us why we wanted to eat Italian food in Portugal His response was inappropriate

The rooms at this hotel are huge, especially by European standards. I loved the shopping neighborhood with tons of restaurants. If you want a view of the iconic Lisbon hillside view while sipping on a pitcher of yummy sangria, the Rooftop Bar is your place. You can make a meal with appetizers too. There is a special area if you are staying at the hotel. But it is also possible to reserve a table. Next time, I plan on splurging for the rooms with its on patios. Can't wait!

Layovers are usually not the best when traveling, but on a return trip from Rome we had the option to do a 24 hour layover in Lisbon and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get some last sightseeing in. The last leg of our honeymoon could not of been better! Lisbon, I will return one day to conquer you...I promise. And when I return there is a good chance I will stay at Hotel Do Chiado. The hotel was a bit hard to find (thanks to me NEVER taking proper notes on how to get to our hotels - it's like a vacation tradition we always get lost finding the hotel.) but the locals were nice enough to lead us in the right direction. At the bottom of a hill, on a semi-main street is the entrance. The lobby was nice, and the front desk staff was extremely nice - spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese. They welcomed us, gave us a rundown of amenities and we were on our way. Quick & easy. Perfect. We opted to pay a little more and get a room with a better view when we reserved. WORTH IT. GET THIS UPGRADE. It wasn't much more but the room/view was phenomenal. First of all, it comes with your own terrace. I don't mean a depressingly small, cramped balcony. No. I mean a large open air terrace with a table, chairs, grass and amazing view of the Castle of Sao Jorge and city. SO NICE. We missed out on eating/sipping at the restaurant/bar on the top floor which has another awesome view. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have experienced in a hotel (maybe I was just DEAD TIRED). The room was spacious and comfortable. The location is excellent. It's easy to get to from the airport and surrounded by shops, restaurants, bars and a mall. There was a ton of activity on a Sunday afternoon with people shopping, hanging out and just walking around. Most seemed to be locals which was kind of cool. We ended up eating in the mall food court (I know, I know...it's a sin!) but it was actually pretty good. A huge plate of food with rice, beans, meat and plantain. It was great and reminded me of the Brazilian meals I have had at my buddy's house. I wish we had more time in the city. Unfortunately this was where I crashed after the longest three weeks of my life that included 6 flights, my wedding, training for a new job, honeymoon and walking around Rome. I crashed in that previously mentioned bed like a rock in a river. BEST. BED. EVER. as far as I am concerned - my wife might disagree!

Great service, phenomenal views and the beverages, appetizers were fantastic. The hotel was a little challenging to find, but the front desk staff were very helpful, before and after the beverages. We had local beer and sampled three different white port wines all from the Douro Valley... all excellent. The cheese and meat platter was filling and served as our appetizer and dinner! Plenty of seating, both sides of the rooftop patio has large chairs, loveseats and tables. We'll be back!

I was also recommended here by a professor and the views are breathtaking! Although it's a hotel, they still accommodated me, staff was very friendly at reception. The menu is a bit pricier, but the food was well worth is. The menu is in Portuguese and I had some chicken sandwich that was huge! definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Despite multiple advertisements inviting us to enjoy the rooftop bar they only serve hotel Guests.

Don't get fooled with thier 5 stars rating online. The customer service is sub-par to worst. We got here around 10 pm and we made a reservation for my kid and my mom and my husband (3 adults and one kid), but they told us we made a reservation for 2 adults, and that we should resolve the issue with booking.com. At first the front desk person checked us in and then he took us to the room and all of the sudden he said we can't give you the room and you need to pay for another room, and we can't add an extra bed for the night as its not available. This back and forth went to the point of becoming a scary situation to the extent that we were asked to pay for another room or leave the hotel with no refund on cancellation. My kid started crying as she was scared and exhausted after a really long flight with this situation unfolding, and it was pretty traumatic. After about one hour they brought their manager and they said we will give you a good rate for the second room and the EU laws are strict about additional capacity. So, basically we had no other choice and we needed to pay for another room. It seems still that this is a tricky way to get more money from guests (in our case +$1000s). Be careful when you get here. The location is great , (and probably the reason for the good rating) the hotel is on top of the mall!!! but the service is terrible to say the least.

Let me start by saying I did not stay here and would not recommend anyone else to stay here!! I am in the midst of planning a trip to Lisbon and from the many reviews on this and other sites, and the location of this hotel, I wanted to book three nights there. When I logged on to their website to book there was misinformation about the cancellation policy (you must cancel with 555 days it said). Therefore, I decided to call them directly to ask about the cancellation policy, and, since I was on the phone, already to book the available room. So on Monday (this past week) I called there and spoke with a man who told me he handles reservations. He answered my questions and took down all of my information, including my credit card info and my Gmail email. I asked him to please email me a confirmation. This was 7pm Eastern Standard Time here. When by Tuesday afternoon I still did not see any communication from the Hotel I decided to once again call there directly, when I was able to (around 7:30pm Eastern Standard Time), to ask about the confirmation. This time a man name Levi picked up and proceeded to tell me that they did send the confirmation to the email I provided (the Gmail account) and that I emailed them back cancelling the booking. VERY STRANGE as I neither received any emails nor sent them any emails back!! OK, so I thought maybe they got the email wrong and whoever they emailed to sent them back a reply cancelling. Could be possible. I asked Levi to send me a copy of that email where "I cancelled" the reservation since I was concerned now. Then, I proceeded to rebook the same room at the same rate, once again providing all of the pertinent credit card, etc. information. This time however, I asked Levi to send me a confirmation to both my Gmail account and my Yahoo account, along with the previously mentioned "cancel" email. I once again made sure the spelling of the email accounts were correctly writtien down, this time by Levi. Once again, I kept checking the throughout the next day and I received NOTHING!! I checked all my emails including all my spams and trash (in case somehow it ended up there). Now I am concerned. Thank God I made an alternative reservation just in case. I emailed the hotel since I was not about to waste my money calling them again and asked for the managers contact info. The only available email on their site is for the reservations department so I had no choice but to ask them (the same people who screwed up my reservation twice already). I was responded to within a couple of hours by Alberto Santos with Célia Loureiro as the name given for the hotel manager but no direct email address. Instead, Alberto asked me to forward any questions to him. When I again asked for Celias direct email, Alberto, responding within 30 minutes, asked me to forward any questions to him. Now, I explained that I have a concern about the Reservations Department (not him directly as I never got the name of the first person I made the reservation with and did not want to falsely point any fingers at Alberto) and need to address those with the manager directly. I have not received a response since!! Its been two days!! Obviously, they receive the emails and simply don't care! So, I decided to let you all know about my experience. First of, I do not know if any fraud has been committed with my credit card information since the interactions with this "Hotel" are extremely suspect. Second, I am not convinced that Levi completely lied to me about the whole "we received an email from you cancelling the reservation". Who does that??? Finally, if this is the way the treat reservations and issues that arise, I wonder how they treat their guestrooms when issues arise. The total lack of competency, the lack of caring and hospitality, the lies, and possible fraud that these folks committed leaves me with one conclusion: BEWARE and stay away or stay here at YOUR OWN RISK. I don't easily give business bad reviews, but this "hotel" has proven to be a horrible experience thus far.

This hotel is fantastic, albeit a little challenging to find (did NOT get it right the first time). Despite challenging to find (and a startlingly small door at street level) the Hotel do Chiado is very well located amidst the shopping of the Chiado neighbourhood. Better yet is when you head up to the 7th floor where the Entretanto Bar kicks in. A beautiful, large terrace which is perfect for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. It overlooks the castle, and also features waterside views. Blue A. notes that the suite upgrade is worth it, and these are also here; wonderful views and spacious in a way that guarantees that guests aren't tumbling over each other. Special call-out for the staff at the hotel generally and those working the kitchens/at the bar in particular. Everyone was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, to the extent that we spent much more time out on the Hotel terrace than originally intended. Almond cake and a mega-stuffed club sandwich (my hotel bar menu go-to?). It was perfect with a heavy dose of sunshine. Yelp note: for the care and attention, the quiet and the quality of this hotel...it really is an affordable place to spend some time.
