    Quite old, rooms are just OK and standard. Food was poor, breakfast was below average

    Absolute stunning views, right next to the Atlantic beach. This is the best thing about this hotel

    Cleanliness could be better there were stains on the floor under the table, the breakfast was quite basic and more of selection would be great. The car park was very busy due to surfers and beach goers parking in the car park. We were never without a spot, but we may have just been lucky.

    I booked a room with a sea view, It was outstanding. The staff were extremely helpful and polite and the owner was very much present and hands on. The hotel felt like a home away from home. The rooms are modern and the hotel communal spaces full of character. The contrast is quite pleasing I appreciated the simple as of the room vs busy communal spaces

    The 4 star rating of this hotel is simply inaccurate. Maybe it was in a bygone era, but certainly not in its current state. However, this was obvious to me before I made the booking given the pictures and previous reviews. The swimming pool was out of action, and the central courtyard was undergoing refurbishment, with no notice as to how long for. Please don't let this put you off. It's charm and location by far exceed these minor criticisms. You would pay a hell of a lot more to be in a proper 4 star Hotel in Cascais, with limited views and charm. With a world-class beach on the doorstep, who needs a pool anyway?

    I thought the hotel itself on balance was really cool and great value. Quirky and old fashioned. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially in the restaurant and bar. We had a couple of meals at the restaurant, which were perfectly decent and just about reasonably priced. We had a superior double room each, which included an amazing view of the beach. The features of the room are fairly standard, but all were working, clean, and tidy. Breakfast was decent enough, with plenty of options. I especially liked the bar area, which has lots of booths with views for a cosy drink with your travel party. A taxi is 10 euro into Cascais, or rental scooters or bikes can be found on the path that runs along the coastal road.

    The property had a very dated, tired look about it. Some things were not well maintained - eg we had some rotten timber architraving in our room (at the base near the floor). Lovely view over the sea from the dining & breakfasting rooms, but the windows were dirty so this spoilt the view. We were not advised on arrival to park in the designated hotel parking areas, and on arrival we parked our car in the adjoining public car parking area. I moved it after about 3 hours into the hotel area, but by then it had recieved a large scratch on one of the doors in that time. Better if, on checking in, the staff had immediatley advised on the best place to park.

    The location was excellent.

    Unfortunately, our room was outdated and in need of renovation.

    The location for us was good as it was along our touring route. We were able to put our motorcycles in the garage. The views of the beach were stunning. The staff were friendly and helpful. Both the evening meal and breakfast were good.

    I paid 100€ extra for the sea view room, but the windows are so old and milky that we could hardly see the sea. I wouldnt pay for this again any extra money.

    The location is great and the parking, also the restaurant and breakfast is nice

    Thus hotel is externally unattractive. Internally better, but the rooms are of poor quality e.g. plastic bathroom.

    Absolutely fantastic view. Staff helped as first room provided not adequate. Restaurant excellent with good choice and large portions.

    As I said the breakfast was plentiful and the food was of good quality. The small issue we had was the coffee and tea dispensing machine required an overhaul as it was so slow, and made you feel embarrassed holding up the queue. The bread toaster in my opinion also required attention, again it was so slow.

    The location was absolutely amazing, the ocean was a sight to see. We booked the basic room which didn’t have the sea view but was spotlessly clean, which suited us for out two night stay. The staff were always cheerful and made you feel welcome. Breakfast was included which was plentiful although we had some issues.

    The quality of the breakfast could be higher. The selection is not wide at all, but this is the less; I don't mind if there is only one type of ham or bread, if it is a good one. The range of vegetables was nothing but some tasteless tomatoes.

    The location is fantastic, the staff is nice and helpful.

    All common areas of the hotel are old and need renovation. There was mold on the curtains. The breakfast doesn't have many options and the products aren't fresh.

    The location is amazing because it's right on the beach. We had a room with ocean view and it was beautiful. The rooms are renovated, appreciated the AC with heat mode during the winter.
