Boutique Chiado Suites was a wonderful place to stay. Our suite had narrow wrought iron balconies off both the living room and bedroom, each with double doors, flooding the rooms with natural light. The elegance and charm of the building, dating from the late 1700’s, was shown in high coved ceilings, beautiful woodwork, and a chandelier in the bedroom. Yet the small kitchenette and the bathroom had all modern conveniences. Then bed was comfortable and the comforter and towels new and fluffy. The espresso maker in the kitchen and the daily refills of coffee pods were welcome. And with all the many pastry shops and several small grocery stores within a block of the building made putting together a light breakfast easy. Daily maid service kept everything spotless. The friendly staff at the front desk answered questions, and offered directions, and recommendations. A major metro stop was within a one block walk providing easy access to all of Lisbon. We very much enjoyed our stay and will de return when we again visit Lisbon. The nearby metro stop had many stairs down and the elevator was out of service. Thankfully, there were escalators going up most of the way. An important thing to note is to check your messages thru your email or booking agent several days before your stay. At that time, the accommodation sends you codes to both the front door of the building and your room entry code through one of these channels. Because of a delayed flight to Lisbon, we arrived after 5pm when reception closed, and because we hadn’t seen this message through Booking, we were unable to get in at first. A kind fellow guest opened the front door for us and eventually a staff member checked a security camera which showed us sitting near the empty reception desk. He came and gave us the code to our room. All would have been easy and much less stressful if we had just seen their message with the codes the day before!
