Excellent hotel in the museum quarter. All the best sights are within easy walking distance. Don’t miss the Palácio de Cidadela in the square, but tours are limited so you need to book. The hotel gave us a 24 hour museum voucher with access to 13 places, which included the Palácio. This will save you quite a lot of money, although you’ll need to prioritise! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Everything was delightfully well-run in an understated way. Super comfy beds, cleanliness impeccable and the best breakfasts in the dining room overlooking the marina! Very relaxing, we loved every minute.

Unmatched location
Best location in Cascais with views of the marina. Bed was very comfy and the room had everything we needed. The hotel layout is strange but that is due to the restrictions of the fort walls - it was a long walk to breakfast! But breakfast was good compared to other hotel breakfasts I’ve had in Portugal.

A real unique hotel
My partner and I stayed 3 nights here as a base to visit Sintra. Overall we had a really pleasant stay. The property is built inside of an old fort and the different areas of the hotel are from various eras of construction - there is a small color coded map in the lobby that explains all of this. Honestly I think they downplay the history of the site and buildings, which is a bit of a shame. I would have loved if more info had been included in the room and around the property to explain some of the history. Most things you could want in Cascais are a short walk away and the galleries around the hotel courtyard were nice to visit. The breakfast buffet has a good selection to appeal to just about everyone but can be a little chaotic depending on the day and time. The pool is small and a bit of a challenge to find. Overall the signage around the property is a little lacking - it wasn't uncommon to see people getting lost trying to find their rooms.

While the hotel is in a beautiful, historic location, with a great outdoor pool, I am rating it on the basis of it (and its price point) being 5 stars. The pros: - location - outdoor pool - rooms were clean and comfortable - pool staff were great (as were breakfast servers) - breakfast was decent - apart from when the couple next to us proceeded to take 10 hard boiled eggs and eat them with all the grace of the Cookie Monster (not the hotels fault I know. Was just something I wanted to share). Good job I didn't want a hard boiled egg that morning The cons: - never got a call to say our room was ready (picky and we understand they are busy, but still, it's easy) - rooms were really, really weirdly designed: ---the doors to the patio opened from the middle, and the wrong way, like they had been put on back to front (not a big deal, we just looked in a mirror to open them) ---limited space in the bathroom - seriously, I kept accidentally phoning the front desk with the bathroom phone every time I wanted a wipe (i.e. zero space) ---no extraction fan ---no iron (do I care if I am a little wrinkled? No. Does my wife...! Seems a basic necessity. Again - this is all on the basis of it being 5-star, it's not fussiness or unreasonable expectations on our part. I've stayed in 1 star to 5 star places and unfortunately this is closer to 3.5. Finally - the bars were non-existent. The reception bar closed at 7pm and resembled a co-working space, or funeral waiting room. Upstairs, empty!

Located in the arts district where small artists, artisans and boutiques encircle the property, this hotel is well located BUT FOR Construction entering the square preceding the hotel. Not well lit nor does it afford easy walkable access at night. However, service at hotel is very good- they went the extra mile in giving us a to-go breakfast package because we had to leave for airport before 7am. Any accommodation which has “Pousada “ preceding the name promises to be of high quality. Recommended.

The location of this property is excellent, inside the citadel and beside the marina. The staff are friendly and helpful. The interior of the property lacked character and had design faults. There was a carpeted step outside our room, which in the gloom of night was concealed and a hazard. I drew this to the attention of management as my husband fell over the step on our first evening there. The room was rather tired looking and in need of some TLC.

Great location, wonderful staff but tired rooms.
The location of the hotel is excellent, & what a beautiful building. The staff are first class: friendly, efficient & very welcoming. However there were issues that prevent a perfect score from us. We had a junior suite & it was very tired: scuff marks on the walls & a hole in the bed. There was also an ant infestation, & I’m not talking about a few ants, I’m talking about thousands of them on the work surface & in the bathroom. This was dealt with very effectively by the hotel, with no drama. This wonderful hotel is in the centre of the art district & yet there was just one picture on the wall as you entered, the rest of the room was bare. The rings need an update d& then it would be perfect & we would certainly recommend this hotel & we are very happy to stay here again in the future.
Wonderful morning view from our room
Scuff marks on the walls
Very old bed with a hole in it
Bland room with zero art work
