Alecrim ao Chiado

We were in a deluxe suite and the shower was quite large. We found the breakfast options plentiful. Most importantly every staff encounter was delightful and helpful. The location was perfect. We walked everywhere from the hotel. I would stay here again!

Pro’s: The room is spacious and Lara was so helpful. You can see the scenic river from the balcony. Cons: Shower cubicle is small as others have mentioned, breakfast options are very limited but the scrambled eggs are filling and prepared on request, housekeeping isn’t very friendly to even smile and an apparently clean towel was stained when towels were replenished. The place opposite my room was so loud all throughout the night as were fellow guests staying in nearby rooms casually chatting outside the rooms. The TV also stopped working the day after due to signal issues. Overall, the room was very spacious but issues persisted with everything else.

I’m giving this a one star review because me and my wife got food poisoning from the hotel breakfast. I suspect they were reusing cold cuts that had been out all morning the following day. Believe the reviews talking about shower size, there is not even room for you to soap yourself. Location was great, rooms are otherwise well maintained. However the bare minimum I require is not being poisoned by my hotel so the 1 star remains.
