The hospitality of the family run hotel was outstanding. The best value for money too.
Pros:

Family own small hotel few minutes walk from Sintra train station. The entrance to the building we had to walk up the stairs (no elevator) but the manager rushed to welcome us and help with the luggages. The room was comfortable, good water pressure, strong WiFi, super clean, good size bathroom and delicious homemade breakfast. The building made of thick stonewall so it was nice and cool temperature, we slept so well both nights that we stayed here. We were so impressed with the hospitality of the owner and his son who manage the hotel. We highly recommend this place (even though no elevator) it worth to walk up the stairs to stay here believe me.

Cons:

None.

We would not stay in this hotel again.
Pros:

The room was nice and close to the town. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

The staff member was not very friendly and we struggled to get our luggage up 2 flights of tight stairs. Parking was down a very steep hill and not close.

Perfect stay
Pros:

Rui and Domingo made sure everything was perfect for our stay. They were very friendly. When my husband wanted to watch the football, Rui called the local pub and made sure my husband could watch football there. Very nice. We had a perfect stay!

Thank you, we would stay here again & will recommend it.
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The staff was wonderful, hotel and rooms clean, & free breakfast was a delicious way to start each day. The castle & palace views from the attic room window were nice as was the sunrise view from the bathroom window. Location is good, easy walk to grab bus 434 to Pena Palace and Moorish Castle & easy walk to downtown with lots of restaurants like Volta e Meia restaurant which was sooo good! We so appreciated being able to leave our bags at the front desk of the hotel after checking out so we could walk to visit Quinta da Regaliera before departing Sintra!

Cons:

Nothing negative. My only suggestion would be larger/thicker towels & the addition of wash cloths would be nice.

Pros:

날씨가 좋은면 정원에서 음식을 먹으면(객실냬음식금쥐임) 좋을듯 직원분들도 친절하고 엘베가 없으니 가방도 들어주셨음 침대도 넓고 편했음 조식도 간단하지만 있을건 있었고 룸은 깔끔했음 또 카드키라 편했고 그 구글지도로 보면 근처에 큰 주차장이 있음 숙소 바로앞에 잠시 주차할 공간이 있으니 거기에 짐 먼저 내리고 주차하고 오길 추천함 캐리어 끌고오기 빡심 격한 오르막ㅋㅋ 주차도 무료임

Cons:

샤워 부스 물이 안 내려가서 막힌줄.. 찤끔찔큭 내려감 방음이 잘 안됨; 복도 사람 말소리가 들림 그래도 청결, 시설 및 위치 가격은 좋으니 괜춘

Pros:

Nice breakfast with a good variety. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The location was perfect, and within an easy walk of nearby shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Visually tired, whole property would benefit from a refresh. For guests with a car, only public parking is available, and it’s a few blocks away.
