Before
I
begin,
I
would
like
to
note
that
I
rarely
provide
negative
or
even
"average"
reviews.
In
this
case,
I
am
providing
an
average
review
of
3
stars
because
there
are
certainly
some
good
things
about
Dream
Chiado--
although
I
was
wavering
between
providing
a
2
star
and
a
3
star
review.
I
decided
on
3
stars
because
I
think
the
"good
things"
are
really
worth
mentioning.
So,
I
will
begin
with
the
good
stuff.
Dream
Chiado
is
in
an
amazing
location.
It
is
close
to
everything,
and
we
explored
all
over
Lisbon.
Having
explored
so
many
other
areas,
I
believe
this
location
is
one
of
the
best
in
the
city.
Further,
the
price
of
Dream
Chiado
is
ver
reasonable.
If.
you
are
on
a
budget,
the
price
can't
be
beat.
Finally,
it
is
really
nice
to
have
a
little
kitchen
and
place
to
sit
for
breakfasts
or
happy
hours.
We
didn't
do
any
"cooking"
but
it
was
great
to
have
a
coffee
and
pick
up
some
wine,
cheese,
and
crackers
and
breakfast
foods
at
the
Pingo
Dos
down
in
the
Rossio
area.
The
room
was
a
nice
size
and
much
bigger
than
we
anticipated
for
a
European
city.
Now,
on
to
the
less-than-ideal
parts
of
Dream
Chiado.
The
most
important
and
serious
issue
that
we
found
was
that
the
front
door
to
the
building
was
broken
and
could
not
be
locked
in
the
evenings.
This
felt
like
this
was
an
important
security
issue
to
us
(two
women
traveling
alone),
and
we
felt
that
anyone
could
enter
the
building
and
hang
out
in
the
halls
with
no
problems.
When
we
asked
about
the
door,
we
were
told
that
they
were
trying
to
get
it
fixed..
but
we
were
there
for
7
nights
and
it
was
not
fixed
in
that
time
period.We
didn't
notice
this
issue
the
first
night,
so
I
would
guess
it
was
broken
for
at
least
6
of
the
7
nights
we
stayed.
Next,
the
rooms
are
in
need
of
some
very
basic
care.
Our
room
had
water
stains
on
the
walls,
the
wallpaper
was
coming
off
the
room,
and
the
lamp
was
coming
off
the
wall
and
the
cord
was
completely
frayed.
Truly,
it
was
surprising
to
see
a
place
with
such
little
attention
to
basic
things
like
wallpaper
coming
off
the
walls.
It
looked
terrible
and
made
us
feel
that
the
room
was
dumpy
without
anyone
caring
for
something
so
basic
(I
suggest
the
staff
fix
the
water
damage,
remove
the
wall
paper
and
just
paint
the
room
and
fix
the
appliances..
it
would
be
easy
and
do
a
lot
of
good
for
the
room).
Finally,
we
found
the
staff
to
be
not
especially
friendly
or
helpful.
We
found
the
people
of
Portugal
to
be
so
lovely
in
the
rest
of
the
places
we
stayed..
we
just
had
the
feeling
that
the
staff
really
didn't
like
us,
no
matter
how
nice
we
tried
to
be.
It
was
just
uncomfortable.
Also
if
you
need
staff,
note
that
they
are
not
there
all
the
time
(this
is
fine,
but
you
may
not
hear
from
them
quickly
even
when
you
use
Whatsapp
to
contact
them
after
hours).Again,
this
isn't
a
big
problem
for
us,
but
just
something
to
note.
I
am
attaching
pictures
of
the
room
that
shows
the
water
damage
and
lamp
coming
off
the
wall.
