"Great location, staff was wonderful and friendly"

Art Legacy Hotel Baixa-Chiado

8/10 Good

"This is in a wonderful location and close to everything. The hotel is pretty new so everything is well maintained. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are very small and cramped but it’s Europe so that is quite often the case. The beds were comfortable. We stayed 3 days and upon check in the asked for morning or afternoon room cleanings. We selected morning however that never happened. The first day they came to clean the room at 5 pm while we were getting ready for dinner so it didn’t get cleaned That day at all. They do have nice little features like water in the room and some mini bar items. Overall a great place to stay They provide free little walking tour which was also nice."
