Despite the location, right by Praça Marquês de Pombal, this spacious and comfortable three-star hotel is surprisingly secluded, overlooking a leafy square. It offers good value, too. Bedrooms are comfortable and quiet with roomy en suite marble bathrooms and free Wi-Fi; in most doubles, an extra bed can be added for a small extra charge.
The cosy lounge has TV and free internet, and an honesty bar with drinks and snacks. Round the corner, the slightly smaller Dom Carlos Liberty (Rua Alexandre Herculano 13, 21 317 3570) has a rooftop terrace and small gym; there are also rental flats available in the Chiado for long-stay visitors.
