Hotel exceeded expectations
Pros:

This hotel exceeded expectations. It is in a great location to explore the city. A short walk to the old city center. Easy to find transportation if you are not into walking. While being on a busier street, the room was quiet, even with the window open. The breakfast was a diverse spread to satisfy many tastes and the terrace was a lovely place to enjoy coffee or wine with a view of the Moorish Castle. Simao and his father were very helpful and welcoming hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

Estancia maravillosa en un hotel maravilloso

El personal del hotel. No he conocido personas más maravillosas. Te ayudan en todo, te dibujan mapas, te dan su numero para que les preguntes cualquier cosa o si necesitas ayuda en cualquier momento... Brillate, sólo por ellos merece la pena el hotel

Cons:

No hay queja ninguna con el hotel, no es posible.

Świetny hotel dla dorosłych w centrum pięknego miasta Sintra.
Pros:

Wyjątkowy hotel w centrum Sintry, tylko dla osób dorosłych - a więc cisza i spokój, pomimo lokalizacji przy ulicy. Jest duży taras na którym można miło spędzić wieczór. Pokój, który wybraliśmy na 3 noce był czysty, wystarczający dla dwóch osób. Śniadania obfite i różnorodne, bardzo smaczne. Właściciele bardzo uprzejmi, pomocni i profesjonalni - czuje się, że hotel to dla nich ogromny powód do dumy i pasja, a nie tylko miejsce pracy.

Cons:

Z punktu widzenia klienta/doświadczonego turysty odczuliśmy mało zaufania. Otrzymana w czasie meldowania lista zasad co wolno, a czego nie wolno w pokoju przekraczała poziom tego, z czym do tej pory spotykaliśmy się podczas naszych wielokrotnych podróży. Dla osób, które mają jakieś pojęcie o bezpieczeństwie płatności kartami proponuję przygotować 200 euro w gotówce jako zwrotny depozyt - w innym przypadku "preautoryzacja" karty polega na ręcznym zanotowaniu przez właściciela jej numeru i kodu CVC na kartce papieru! Słabe Wi-Fi (może inwestycja w technologię MESH byłaby dobrym pomysłem?).
