Overall a very good Hotel close to Cascais Town Centre and beach , overlooking the beautiful Marina. Breakfast was very good and staff very friendly throughout. Room was very spacious and modern. Would book again.
The hotel has the ancient charm that’s great but the room floor by the bathroom was peeling off and the bathroom door was old, otherwise all was clean and great,
A fabulous hotel with a team of staff who just can't do enough for you. The breakfast is amazing and the hotel is spotless. The pools are great too. Small gym but ok if you want to maintain your fitness regime.
Such a unique property right by the marina in the Citadel. Fantastic service! Breakfast was wonderful and the dining room faced the ocean so you can watch the sunrise. Highly recommend!
Great property, great friendly and efficient staff. The property is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Very well located, with easy access to all main spots in Cascais.
The Pousada Cascais is an excellent hotel. Such a fascinating, historic building and an excellent location just s short walk from the restaurants and bars of Cascais. Staff are also really friendly and helpful. This is our second visit and we’ll definitely be coming back.
Great staff complementing an excellent hotel option in the Cascais city center. Being next to the Marina, with many shops and restaurants is a plus. Parking nearby is not expensive for longer stays.
Lovely three night stay. Room was a great size and bed was very comfortable. Room cleaned daily and evening turndown service included. Good choice at breakfast and lovely views over the marina from the dining room. Hotel was quiet & relaxing.
