I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this hotel was... being from the U.S. we tend to expect all…read morehotels around the world to be just like American hotels. Just my opinion but it's truly great thing when we get out of our comfort zones and embrace local cultures. This hotel is centrally located to the water and just far enough from town to be a quiet break from town. No irons in room and no irons available so don't expect to get one. Need something ironed? Front desk drop off only.

Let's start with the good: -Very clean…read more-Incredibly friendly staff (special shout-out to the evening front desk manager who helped us navigate the trains and even gave us his fare card) -good location (very easy walk to downtown and near lots of museums) -incredible view Okay, so now onto the not so good: -It appears much more spacious online. There is only one restaurant and one bar (pool bar was closed for the season by the time we traveled). Also, the restaurant is only an over-priced buffet for all meals. No thanks! They claim to have a jacuzzi, but we never did find it. The room was not nearly as large was depicted. -Now onto the room...the bed was rock hard! It was like sleeping on a board. Plus the sheet was too short for the bed so your feet got caught on it each night. Our room was supposed to have a queen bed...it was two independent twin beds shoved together and made separately. This was fine, as I was traveling with my mom, but still odd. We had a kitchenette...the fridge door kept falling off (even after asking for repairs) and the oddest set of dishes to fill it. No knife for cutting. No wine glasses (but we did have ice cream sundae glasses?). No way to make coffee or tea. No free safe...daily fee that amounted to nearly 20 euro for the week. Very poor lighting with questionable safety on some of the lamps. The tub sat at such a height difference above the floor that getting out (without handrails) was always precarious. -Other stuff: Breakfast was included for most but not us (we were using TimeShare points). This was really disappointing and made for uncomfortably hungry mornings. Plus, without a way to make coffee in the room, this really sucked. In all, if I were to return to Cascais, I would not plan to stay here. There are plenty of other options in this adorable little town.

We arrived at 7pm and the staff quickly checked us in with no issues. Once we got on our floor, we were a bit taken back by how old and dated the hotel was. The lights were also motion censored, so the hallway felt like a haunted house. Actually, the entire hotel felt like it was haunted. The rooms also left a lot to be desired, but we did have a semi decent view of the city. The bathroom was also very small and the shower was a bit complicated. We weren't in the room for long as we quickly changed, headed out to dinner, and by the time we came back, it was time to go to sleep for our flight the next morning. Overall, they have an amazing staff, but the hotel really needs some TLC.

I'd recommend this B&B to anyone staying in Lisbon. It's a small boutique style hotel located in…read morethe Chiado area. Close to the metro, as well as the main tourist areas of the city, such a Barrio Alto and other major sights. The hotel itself had a very friendly staff, who were more than happy to help out with any questions we had (and we def had a few with it being our first time in Lisbon). They also spoke English, which was helpful for us. The room was a good size and was incredibly clean and well decorated. The room and the hotel had a funky "theatrical" type of them, apparently inspired by a nearby hotel which we enjoyed. The beds were also very comfortable, which is nice to have after a long day of exploring the city.

There are many restaurant options to chose from in this area but I highly recommend Elevador.

However if I were to mention a single employee my wife and I would like to award a little extra recognition. From Day 1 of our visit the Roof Top Bar was extremely busy, thru all interactions he presented a can do positive attitude and an award winning smile. He was appropriately professional, and taught my wife the preparation of a cocktail in which he takes great pride in preparing. The Caipirinha You can see the obvious joy as he shakes the cocktail before pouring into a glass If I could offer 1 single -observation, the garnishes served with beverages in this lounge should be more impressive. Simple things such as sugared rims on glasses, more fruit garnishing, and offer a Bloody Mary with garnishes that knock your socks off. Truly the management of this hostel in the center of Chiado are doing an impressive job.

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!

Everything about this hotel was positive from the nicely furnished room with super comfortable bed, to the amenities-including the chromotherapy shower-to the fantastic breakfast, and mostly the service. All the people at the front desk and dedicated concierges were super friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions, tourist suggestions, and travel suggestions (useful since a train strike was in effect during my stay). The head of the housecleaning department even repaired (sewed) a pair of pants I tore on my visit-talk about going above and beyond the call of duty. The hotel offers its guests a number of freebies that are much appreciated. Besides complimentary cook to order breakfast the hotel offers 3 free walking tours around the city and in room mini bar items-such as water, soft drinks, and beer-are also complimentary. The hotel even has various snacks (cookies, snacks, some food items) offered to guests in the lobby entrance as well as a daily happy hour. One final bonus are the 17th century ruins in the downstairs lounge area. Finally, the location is excellent. Corpo Santo is about a minute walk from Pink Street, 5 minute walk from Time Out Market, and very close to a number of tourist attractions in a less densely populated area than other hotels I looked at as well as a short walk from the water. Very easy for Uber drivers to find the hotel. This was my first visit to Lisbon but if I return I will definitely stay again at Corpo Santo. Muito bom!!

Add in a genuinely excellent dinner at the in-house restaurant and a location that puts you right in the middle of old Lisbon, and it's easy to see why this place is so well rated. Would book again without hesitation.

It's kind of a maze at first to figure out how to get to the bar and the breakfast place but you do. Breakfast is great, all the different juice choices are amazing and order the eggs benedict, and bartenders are great as well. Piano player at night in the bar is outstanding. Used to be a castle they turned into a hotel. Just hanging out in one of the lobbies makes you feel like a queen! And the view from the middle one is really beautiful. When you arrive in the room you receive some Port as well as the little custard deserts that are so popular there. Pasteis de Balem still has the best though... Rooms are spacious and I had one with a huge balcony all to myself which was really nice. Had dinner one night in the bar. It was pasta with white sauce and veggies and was so delicious! They have a chapel in the hotel as well which is really pretty! Really amazing pool and spa as well. They also have an indoor pool, sauna, and steam room free to use for any hotel guest. When first arriving at the gate you feel like you are arriving at a castle. You will for sure enjoy your stay!
