Fantastic location, right in the heart of the city. Which also means very loud!! Room was ok, very spacious. Staff were not very friendly.

More central than this is virtually impossible. Room was enormous! So was the bathroom. Everyday cleaned and clean towels. Beds were okay. Friends of ours told us in the old days this place is where the kings and queens used to stay. If you don't mind listening to some chitchat and portuguese street musicians playing at night (which we found very pleasant) than definately book this place.

the hotel is in a ideal position (centre of Lisbon) and well communicated.(altough it's in a noisy square) The rooms are quite small and dirty (sheets included)and a very poor breakfast is served in a room under earth (not in the terrace as they say on the website) anyway, the staff is nice and helpful.

L' hotel è ubicato in un'ottima posizione, e questo è il suo più grande pregio. La stanza dove noi abbiamo alloggiato era spaziosa e pulita così come anche il bagno, dotato di bidet.Un pò modesta la colazione, ma lisbona è così piena di pasticcerie deliziose che una seconda colazione può solo fare piacere.

It faces the Shiard plaza, and the Camoes plaza is the vicinity soon. It is a district where the history is felt. Therefore, it is lively until midnight. There might be a person who feels that it is annoying, too. However, Bairoalt is near, and it doesn't take as much as one minute to the station in the streetcar and the subway. The Rosshio station : for about ten minutes. It is the best for sightseeing. The cafe of Bragerara pleasant is in the next.

The breakfast was poor. Good location, but the price didn´t represent the price of the room. Good for a group of friends.

If you want to party in Lisbon, this is the place to stay. The location is fantastic, just around the corner from the bars and walking distance to many attractions. It is VERY noisy though if your room is on the main street. The locals stay out very late but this didn't worry us as that's what we were there to do. The rooms were very comfortable, though the staff a little indifferent. It was pretty pricey too but we were overall happy with it.

We chose this hotel for its very central location next to a metro station and close to Bairro Alto restaurants. The price to pay is the loud noise that permeates from outside through hardly closing windows. The hotel is in need of a serious refurbishment, with the breakfast room looking incongruously freshly made up. Breakfast was below average. The reception desk was willing to help when insisting.

First time I was at Borges I would stay there again. The only disappointment was about breakfast: very very poor. What struck me was the very good location.

excellent location (in the heart of lisbon's Chiado, 20 m away from subway and historical tramway N. 28); the street is a pedestrian area which probably is the reason of the noisy nights, but apart from that, the hotel is ok.

A localização do hotel é excelente, o atendimento foi perfeito, entretanto o banheiro era extremamente apertado, com algumas lâmpadas queimadas, elevador velho e o pequeno almoço (breakfast) muito simples. O hotel necessita de uma revitalização para que o que ele tem de bom possa ser ressaltado

You need to be very patient with the doors, 'cause keys are really crazy! The rooms are not very clean and the breakfast is quite poor. I mean, it's more an hostel than hotel! The position is the only really good thing, 'cause it's close to everything: you're in the heart of LISBOA. The staff is not so prepared to answer to your questions but thay're always very kind.

The furnitures occurred rather worn, the hinge of the door of the cupboard was broken making it difficult to close the door. We had booked at suite but got an ordinary room with a sofa (convertible) and one single, unconfortable chair. But the hotel is located just in the center of the old town, a big plus for people not being accustomed to public transportation. Don't forget to add 34 €/day to your daily expenses if you are going by your car, that's the fee for parking your car in the nearest parking house.

The hotel is situated in a good location. The principal inconvenient is the noise, we awoke 2 or 3 times during the night because of the noise. Another inconvenient is the cleanliness of the rooms, we saw some hairs in the bed and in the pillow. I think that if a normal hotel but the price/quality relation is very poor.

Our room was spacious with a good view of the area. Great for a first night in Lisbon. Heater and shower did not work. Breakfast was lame but the dining room was nice. Staff was less friendly than elsewhere. Nearby Bairro Alto is really the place to stay instead.

This is a clean hotel with a splendid location in Lisbon's Old Town (Bairro Alto). The breakfast is poor, just bread, butter and marmalade. The rooms look like they haven't been renovated since the early 80's. There is some noise from the street that is not at all unpleasant for someone that is used to live in a big city. The price is fair and the location is just fantastic.

The entire thing was a chaos, the door of the room was not a customer friendly, you can hear the noise of other people doing the same thing, you can not get the door to locked, it was hard to do it, we did not feel safe. Only the tv spoke portugues, there were not spanish or english tv. I won't return to this hotel EVER! Todo fue una locura, las puertas de las habitaciones no cierran bien, era una locura salir de allí pues siempre pensaba que nos iban a robar las cosas nuestras.....solo 4 canales de tv en portugues, nada en otro idioma, no me quedaré aqui de nuevo y NO LO RECOMIENDO.

The Hotel was in a perfect location, between Bairro alto and Chiado, but that was the only good thing of this accomodation. Our room was big but beds really unconfortable, and the room noisy too. Most of the employes were unkind. Breakfast was very poor and of terrible quality, the orange juice was synthetic and the coffee was of sure the worse one of the Portugal.

I took my girlfriend to Lisbon for our anniversary and we had a fantastic time. The room was very spacious and quiet (although I specifically requested for a quiet room). The staff was not the friendliest but don't let that phase you. And without a doubt, the location of this hotel is worth every euro we paid. Chiado is awesome and near plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars. I recommend this hotel without hesitation.

We were 3 people staying at the room 222. Enormous one! the hotel is located in a pedrestiants street at the city centre. The breakfast was really poor and there were no variety. However next to the hotel there are some cafes like "Brasialian Cafe". One of the oldest and nice of Lisboa, I sugget you to try typical cakes from Belen, made of cream absolutely delicious!

Very good location, but the room was very dirty: hair on the bed, towels , curtains and moquette dirty. We asked for clean towels, but they provided us oyher dirty towels. We leaved the hotel very early, so we couldn't have breakfast. In front of the hotel there is always a cab. The Borges is located in Lisbon downtown, that is very good, but during all the night we heard people chatting and crying: so we couldn't sleep until 5:00 A.M...

Excellent location, a great place to stay in Lisbon as it is very central for day and night activities. It's best to avoid the rooms that are on the streets as it can be quite noisy at night. Rooms are big and clean. Staff is not very warm at the desk. Breakfast is OK but nothing extraordinary.
