Happy at Chiado

Nice place in a great location.

The shared bathroom didn’t have liquid soap or any bath soap; the paper toilet was very bad quality (brown one); there were only 1 shared bathroom for 5 rooms ; it was never kept clean even in the morning it was very disgusting ; the room didn’t have air conditioning it was very hot

Very laborious process to get apartment... many whatsapp texts, then a 7 digit pin at street door, then a combination lock to communal door plus another combination lock to access room key and leave cash in for city tax. Only good thing was lication + private bathroom (almost impossible under £100 in Lisbon). Room itself was spacious but run down. Pillows tiny like cushions, bath towel like a hand towel, hand towel not much bigger than facecloth.

Pretty barebones experience, but that was perfect considering my goal was to go out and explore. The bedroom and shared bathroom were clean and nice. The owner is responsive if there's an issue.

The property is in central location and everything was accessible. The tram 28 route is also from front of the hotel. There is a famous pastel de nata bakery, a grocery store and live music every night by local artists. The property however is an old building with squeaky flooring. Since I was in the room that had a shared bathroom, middle of the night if I were to get up , there was some walk to the washroom and it would be noisy. The check in process was no contact, so I didn’t meet any staff there. However I occasionally saw the cleaning lady. The street where this hotel is is extremely noisy till 2 or even 3 am, the room is with low soundproofing. I used the fan they provided to lower the outside noise. You also have to pay the tourist fee which they charged 4 euro per night per person. Overall my stay was alright.
