    Great expierience-new rooms and amazing location!
    Amazing Hotel with lots of charme. the location of the hotel is amazing- directly at the beach. While sleeping you can hear the ocean.. For to be honest- I dont think the hotel is really 4 Stars. Parts of the hotel where really old and nostalgic (I liked it in a way). The…

    Out of season visit - ok but does need some TLC
    We had 3 days of a business meeting here which was actually OK. Its a quirky hotel and clearly has a vibrant past but is in need of refurbishment. This looks to be underway but not all our group could access the "new" rooms and the older ones vary from just about Ok to not…

    Good and quiet place to stay
    I went there with my wife in December, room had a great view to the beach. The place is perfect for surf lovers and for jogging in the morning. Also the fire place gives a good atmosphere, especially in winter.

    Good for surf
    The location is fantastic at Guincho beat him, but the place needs serious improvement. You can almost feel like it is 1970. The breakfast was simple, short on options but tasty. The parking can be a problem in summer.

    This will be my first holiday in eight years and I'm really excited about visiting Cascais and Portugal. I've read a few reviews about poor cleanliness, please tell me these were just from a bad day!
    Sorry ... only now saw the question. The place was clean for sure but it is coastal shabby in appearance ... meaning rust, weather beaten and generally not chic. It is clean. We enjoyed it. The location is 1st class. Fabulous beach. Restaurant food was more goodish home cooking than expected restaurant flair but again GOOD and no complaints. Set your expectations reasonably and and you will have a good time. Consider also that this location is NOT Cascais central and you will need to drive to town.

    "Room 58 had ocean view and was quiet"
    "Choose a refurbished room"
    "water views are great but loud with the wind and the waves. Further out rooms have no wifi unfortunately as the signal is too weak."
    "Definitely get a sea view if you can!"
