Excellent hotel well located but a bit boring.
Pros:

Very comfy hotel. The bar and restaurant are probably good, but they need some marketing since both were quite empty and therefore not very inviting. Super indoor swimming pool.

Cons:

The atmosphere in the bar and restaurant, not very vivid. The sauna was not heated in the morning, but it looked very attractive.

Pros:

The staff were very welcoming and extremely generous with their time when we asked for sightseeing and restaurant recommendations. The hotel itself is lovely and quiet - a nice place to return to after a day of exploring the bustling city. The breakfast was exceptional and the spa impeccable, both in terms of service and facilities.

Cons:

The floor of the bathroom and shower are a very slippery marble. It would be good to install an anti-slip mat or something similar to make it safer.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Very nice hotel with a pool and spa. Nice room, comfortable firm bed. Excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Pillows were a little uncomfortable but I am sure if we had of asked to have them changed, they would’ve been. All staff at the hotel were very attentive.

Grande decepção
Pros:

O tamanho da piscina e o tratamento que fiz. A massagem foi muito bem feita.

Cons:

A experiência foi dececionante. O hotel apresenta-se como um 5 estrelas, com os selos 'Small Luxury Hotels' e 'Condé Nast Johansens', mas está muito longe do que esses certificados prometem. Os materiais utilizados são industriais e sintéticos, e há um excesso de decoração que mais parece cenário do que conforto. Falta-lhe alma e espaços comuns verdadeiramente acolhedores.

As únicas áreas comuns disponíveis são o terraço — que fica encerrado à noite ou em dias de chuva — e o bar do lobby. Não há um único espaço onde se possa estar sentado, com música ambiente e tranquilidade, durante todo o dia.

O hotel tem muito pouca luz natural, compensando com luz artificial, espelhos e elementos decorativos em abundância. Em vez de acrescentarem conforto ou elegância, estes artifícios acabam por cansar visualmente e transmitir uma sensação fria e artificial.

Até os produtos de casa de banho (Ach. Brito) são uma marca portuguesa corrente, que se encontra em qualquer drogaria ou supermercado — um pormenor que, juntando-se ao resto, reforça a sensação de que o luxo é apenas fachada.

Pontos positivos: os funcionários são simpáticos e atentos, e o hotel está limpo. O pequeno-almoço tem produtos de qualidade, mas não surpreende — poderia facilmente ser o de qualquer bom 4 estrelas. Nada que justifique o preço praticado ou a classificação prometida. Palácio Estoril ou o Casa da Companhia sim, são um 5 estrelas, apesar de em estilos muitos distintos. Este, infelizmente, é apenas um cenário bem montado.
