6/10 Good

Beautiful , actually exceptionally well designed building and surrounding, the latter being the fact that the hotel is inside the citadel with interesting art galleries, next to the marina and the main city center. However, the stay did not meet our expectations. Despite having booked a room for three person (possible as per the search made) the room was prepared for two persons only, and to get another bed, towels, bath robes, cups etc for the third persons was not easy. Moreover the next morning despite call to the reception and talking to the spa staff, the sauna was not heated up to the requested level. And initially the reception did not recognize the VIP status and I had to specifically ask for it.

Pestana Cascais Stay
Very enjoyable stay. The hotel is ideally located in Cascais with beaches, major attractions and restaurants within 15-20 minute walk. Hotel design is quite unique given it’s in the old castle. Breakfast good with great views over the marina (watch for seagulls wanting your food though!) As other reviewers have noted, the corridors are long and some of rooms have steps leading to them - not an issue for me, but could be for those with any mobility considerations. Overall recommend this hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

The indoor pool had a film of algae in the drains around the edges. The jacuzzi buttons on the indoor pool did not work (1 out of 4 worked). The outdoor pool - At one end in the bottom of the pool was an un-capped drain hole which if you stepped on it was painful. The decking around the outdoor pool was in poor repair. On one side of the pool was a small hole which had such high suction that it could trap fingers or worse, injure a child. As an adult it was hard to remove my hand from this suction hole. this was just below the water level. Other than the dangerous state of the outdoor pool, the hotel was great and the staff were brilliant.

Overall the hotel is ok but definitely not 5*. The communal areas are pretty shabby, as are some aspects of the room, and there is very little atmosphere. We also had to ask for our coffee pods to be refreshed every day. On the plus side the location is great, the building is historically interesting and the staff were friendly.

A highlight of the stay was the staff. We found the staff very welcoming and helpful from check in to suggestions on places to see during our stay to help with restaurants reservations to breakfast. They are a credit to the hotel and Cascais.

the staff at this hotel were exceptional. My son left his mobile phone in the back of an Uber on the way out on Saturday evening and the staff (Sara and the main manager) were very helpful in tracking down the Uber driver and securing his phone back. i cannot fault the staff. Very accommodating and helpful.

8/10 Very Good

This is an amazing property built within a fortress and palace of the late King of Portugal. The rooms, facing a beautiful view of the water, look onto a marina with shops and restaurants. During the evening DJ music can be heard from the marina up to 2 am which can affect sleeping conditions. There are two very nice pools which added a lot of value to my experience. The outdoor pool is a bit of walk up some stairs but the ocean and grassy area around the pool is very nice. Unfortunately, there was no pool services outdoors where used towels and dishware sat. It was hard to find a clean towel. As a five star property , I expected the bed comfort to match the rating. Unfortunately, it did not. The mattress was soft and bouncy and needed replacement. My back hurt getting up every morning and that affected my overall experience. The hotel provides a wide array of food for breakfast including fresh squeezed juices, made to order coffee drinks, pastries , breads, meats, cheeses, vegetables and made to order eggs and omelettes. As a gluten free eater, there was no pastries to choose from and the small amount of bread they provided was packaged in plastic and not very good. I really enjoyed the location being close to town but away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy town of Cascais. There is a very nice walking and biking path from the hotel that overlooks the ocean. The art district that surrounds the hotel adds a lot of value and interest to the property.
