Great Hotel Stay!

Great location! Close to the train stations as well as many amazing restaurants close by. We are in the centre of Old Town Lisbon and never needed to take a taxi. The walks were enjoyable.

Get ready for rules, not the best stay.

Overall not a great stay. Old building, partially renovated (only the bathroom). Many downsides: Multiple messages from the staff thru tha app and whatsapp asking for our arrival time. We had no idea when we were going to get there. Not allowed to eat or drink anything not purchased from the hotel in the room. That's a first. Loud noise when you use any water (sewage pump is loud). Air con is hard to figure out and underpowered for the room, locked to not allow below 18 degrees. We put the sign on the door to have our room made up, but they thought it was to not disturb, so they didn't make up the room. Bed not that comfy. Towels and toiletries good. No hair conditioner. Weird big keychain you have to carry around all day that makes noise in your pocket. Staff forgot to bring us our cappuchino we ordered at breakfast. Breakfast was tasty though.

This was one of the best properties we have stayed at - EVER! Dear Lisbon Bordalo Palace Chiado exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was spacious and super clean, well decorated and had everything you could possibly need (toothbrushes, water bottles, shower caps, a mending kit, even slippers). We were greeted with Pastel de Natas and raspberries in our room. The staff was so attentive to our every need! And, the breakfast was delicious. So many options, even freshly made espressos and cappuccinos! I would give Dear Lisbon Bordalo Palace Chiado 12 out of 10 stars if I could. Fabulous staff, wonderful accommodations, excellent location and amazing breakfast. Best of the BEST!

Timeless Elegance with a Personal Touch

The Bordalo Palace has all the luxury of a 4-star hotel in that the rooms are spacious with high ceilings, balconies, and exquisite furnishings, and AC that works! (not a given in Europe). In other ways, it has all the warmth of a B&B. There aren’t a large number of guest suites and the breakfast area is cozy with folksy décor and place settings that look like they came out of your aunt’s china cabinet. But what really sets this place apart is the personalized service, which is hard to find in our QR-code dominated world. The front desk staff - Caterina and Isra – act like a concierge – they don’t just hand you a key and tell you how to get to your room – they provide assistance with your luggage (which you may very well need because there’s no elevator (another rarity in Europe), they give you a map, point out local attractions, give you advice on where to eat and shop, even instructions on how to use Lisbon’s celebrated public transportation system! If a problem arises, they put on their on their thinking caps and troubleshoot! On my first day, I accidentally left my key at the hotel and Caterina promptly called me and came up with a brilliant solution! The ladies who staffed the breakfast area constantly re-stocked the delectable items on the buffet and asked us if there was anything we needed. The icing on the cake literally) was that I found 2 pasteles de nata garnished with fresh raspberries and handwritten notes. Looking forward to my next stay!
Good morning from the lovely breakfast room!

In the heart of Chiado

Great place to stay in the heart of Chiado. Vintage building, it's a converted apartment, with a nice breakfast and helpful staff. We parked in the area for a night and didn't have too hard of a time finding parking.

Loved Bordalo House. The building is very pretty and historic. The room was spacious and clean. The balcony looked over the restaurants and street which was nice. The staff were very helpful. The o ly downside was that we could hear the people above us in their apartment walking around. I would still stay here again. It was in a safe and convenient location.

The hotel is in an excellent location. It is so central and close to so many tourist attractions. The room is clean and charming, also well sound proof. Even though there is a square outside with lots bars and restaurants, I couldn’t hear the noise much. The staff were so friendly and helpful, providing lots of local know how. When I needed to leave early in the morning for a side tour and would miss the breakfast, a staff prepared a mini-breakfast for me for next morning.

Great location and staff, poor room

This is what we loved about the hotel: The location is excellent. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast each morning was delicious. The shower and water pressure were good. The size of the room was ample and the decor was beautiful. This is what could use improvement: The room (red room) looked beautiful and was isolated from street noise, but had a few issues. The bed and pillows were just okay. I could have used a lighter weight blanket or a sheet. There is no courtyard or view at all, which makes the balcony pointless. The room is next to the breakfast area, so it would be a poor choice unless you are an early riser as dish noises start around 6:45. Worst of all, the air conditioner seemed to pump in a sewage smell. We checked the bathroom and it smelled fine. Outside smelled fine as well. The staff attempted to remediate the issue by covering the smell with a spray perfume, which sort of worked, but by the next morning, the room would smell again. The last night we avoided using the air conditioning, and that seemed to help. I would consider staying at another property from this company because of the staff, but I would not stay at this property or in the red/pink room again.
