Hotel Borges Chiado offers an excellent stay in the heart of Lisbon, combining convenience, comfort, and lively surroundings. The hotel’s central location makes it a perfect base for exploring the city—just steps away from major attractions, local restaurants, shops, and nightlife. The vibrant atmosphere of Chiado is enhanced by live street music every day, adding to the charm of the area.
Rooms are serviced daily, kept clean, and surprisingly quiet considering the lively neighborhood outside. The soundproofing works well, ensuring a good night’s rest even with the energetic street scene below. Breakfast each morning is well-prepared and satisfying, offering a nice variety to start the day.
The only significant drawback during the stay was an occasional unpleasant odor in the Hotel. It seems to be due to a plumbing issue, possibly related to the use of accordion PVC pipes in lieu of P-traps beneath the sinks. While this didn’t ruin the overall experience, addressing it would greatly improve comfort.
