A very well run hotel. Spotlessly clean and well managed. Staff are stand-out. Very welcoming, helpful, efficient and friendly. Lovely location in a wooded park. All facilities are present. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Hotel was fantastic. Lovely staff. Extremely comfortable. Bed and pillows excellent. Shower perfect exactly all you need. Breakfast really nice. Location superb. Next to plenty of sights and places to eat and drink. Would return in a heartbeat.
Excellent location with subway round the corner. High standard room with all cable TV-channels. Good beds, towels.
Only missing roof garden next to the gym.
Beautiful palaces to see, lots of great gardens, but too many tourists in certain times of the year. Cantinho do Picadeiro to get some home cooked meal. Palácio de Monserrate definitely a go to!
The capital city of Portugal has a lot of things to do and very different one from each other, from the castle to the Manuelino art style palace, from the narrow Street of the Barrio Alto to the futuristic Parco dos Nacoes. For sure, you will find your way in this colourful city!!
Nice place with Portugese restaurants (snackbars), friendly people and a lot to do (by car). Sintra is really nice, it's a short trip to Lisboa and to the beaches to surf.
Sintra is definitely worth a visit. And I would recommend Clotilde restaurant in Estoril. Great Portuguese food! The Estoril artisanal fair was also nice.
Lisbon exceeded our expectations, although it took us a couple of days for the city to grow on us, as we were coming from Porto and were overwhelmed by the traffic and the heat. But after walking its streets it started to unfold its beauty, with history, art and music waiting around every corner. We especially enjoyed the beautiful view from the Castle, riding the old tram through the narrow streets and enjoying a Pastel de Nata in Belém - where you should also visit the monastery with its wonderfully sculptured inner yard. I can only recommend walking as much as possible and letting yourself get lost in the streets of Lisboa, but public transportation is also very good, so that is definitely always an option in case your legs get tired. There are also lots of day-trips that you can take from Lisbon: to Cascais (a must-see is Praya do Guincho with its wild waves), to Fatima, to Sintra etc.
