  : The location was excellent.
  : 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.

  : Absolute stunning views, right next to the Atlantic beach. This is the best thing about this hotel
  : Quite old, rooms are just OK and standard. Food was poor, breakfast was below average

  : 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 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 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
  : 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.
