ibis Styles Chaves is our Budget pick in the city. It suits travellers who want to walk the historic centre and the river, eat a solid breakfast and keep costs down. Family rooms are listed, so it can work for families too. Motorcyclists may like that bikes can park at the entrance.
Skip it if covered, on-site car parking is a must, because guests say car spaces are off-site and uncovered. Also, if a fourth star matters to you, the price gap to our other picks in Chaves is small.
Location and getting around
The address is Rua 25 Abril. On our straight-line estimate, the Roman Bridge of Chaves is about 1 minute on foot (0.1 km). Guests describe the setting as the historic centre, near the river and the Roman baths. The provider rates the location 9.6 out of 10.
The Castle of Santo Estêvão is a different matter. It is 4.8 km away, about an hour on foot, which is far: plan on public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 2,965 guest reviews, a large sample. Location gets the most praise. Breakfast is close behind: a large buffet with fresh items and local pastries such as Pastéis de Chaves. The property lists continental and buffet breakfast.
The recurring complaint is parking. Motorcycles can park at the entrance, but car spaces are off-site and uncovered. Whether parking costs extra is not confirmed.
Price, and how it compares with our other Chaves picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) were about €71.04 a night. The sample median was €80.00, so this sat 11% below it. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
The gap between our three Chaves picks is narrow. Our Best Value pick, Forte de São Francisco Hotel Chaves (4 stars, 8.9), was about €75 a night, only around €4 more, with the same guest score. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Casino Chaves (4 stars, 9.1), was about €98. Compare the three for your dates, since a small price change could tip the choice.
