Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is wonderfully located right on the coastal path, ideal for strolls, and just a short walk from the lively town center. The rooms are spacious, but noise levels can be a downside. The service, while friendly, had an unexpected early morning visit that was a bit unsettling. Dining options were adequate, with some bird-related nuisances in the outdoor areas, and the breakfast could get crowded if not timed well.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were great and very comfortable, with a small kitchenette that came in handy. However, the room quality was poor – old, ugly, and beat up. On the bright side, I got an excellent high floor room as requested.
The hotel is very clean and the small kitchenette is handy for families with children. We had a mixed experience with the rooms, starting in one that wasn't up to standard and then moving to a much nicer room that still fell short of a four-star rating. Despite this, the cleanliness stood out positively.
This hotel is the worst I have ever stayed in and was terribly overpriced. Some parts of the room were even falling down, and the terrace was often invaded by early morning pigeons. Despite a nice terrace, the lack of basic amenities like tea/coffee facilities, ironing products, and a safe without extra charges made the stay quite disappointing.
The hotel has some positives like rooms with nice views and balconies, but there are cleanliness issues like dirty carpets and malfunctioning amenities. The lack of a kettle in the room is also a drawback that affected the experience for us.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, but the extra bed for our child wasn't working properly, causing a dripping sound that kept us awake all night, making it a bit challenging. However, the hotel decor gave me a nostalgic feeling like a time travel to the mid-90s. The staff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring a smooth experience despite the room issue.
I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The rooms were surprisingly spacious with large beds, a sofa, and a big TV, but the sea view was lacking unless you were right in front of the small window. The kitchenette included fell apart easily.
Staying at this hotel in Cascais was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, while nicely done with a fabulous view over the coast and a comfortable bathroom, lacked a bit of local character and felt somewhat corporate, especially if you opt for a sea view room at an additional cost.
The hotel was big and comfortable, but had some issues with darkness and odors in the room. The location was great for exploring Cascais, while the dining experience was decent with a good selection of breakfast items. The service stood out for being exceptional in all areas. However, the lack of amenities like a soap bar and hair conditioner was a downside.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were big but unfortunately not available for the first night, yet they were a great size, comfortable, and clean, albeit a bit dated. The service was exceptional, with very friendly and helpful staff all around, making the stay enjoyable. The location was ideal, being slightly away from the bustling center of town but still just a short walk away, right on the coast between two iconic landmarks. The dining options were diverse, but with some inconsistencies especially for families. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although with a great water view, needed updating and the 'kitchen' area was a waste of space. The service was lacking, with staff not being friendly or knowledgeable about the area. The location was nice but needed some TLC. The dining experience, while adequate, became repetitive after a few days.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience overall, with spacious rooms facing the Atlantic for a beautiful sunrise. The room size was fantastic and even had a fridge and a small kitchen area, perfect for making a cup of tea. The service was personalized and exceptional, making us feel welcomed and recognized. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the center of Cascais, offering easy access to beaches, restaurants, and shops. The dining experience was satisfying, with a wide range of food options available. However, the hotel seemed to cater more to the masses in terms of dining ambiance. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
