    Great location, clean and cosy rooms, nice terrace to enjoy the sun . Fantastic staff ( manager Rui) very helpful and takes great pride in what he does. Breakfast was very good too, nice and fresh and adequate amount. Had a good time

    An oasis for a peaceful day's end in one of the busiest, hectic touring towns on the trip.

    Only thing that could have been better was a longer stay. The Hotel exceeded my expectations.

    The Hotel was perfect. Room was clean, quiet, comfortable & reasonable. Big window overlooking Moors Castle. Bathroom was spotless. Breakfast was excellent and the room it was served in was cozy. Met other nice travelers from different countries. Location couldn't have been better. Short walk to the train station & the 434 Bus. (Life line to the sites) A short walk into the downtown and a short walk back away from the crowds. Short walks to everything Host Rui was helpful at every stage of the operations. Truly an amazing host with a strong passion for making his guest happy. He helped with luggage; parking; checkin; breakfast and gave us helpful touring & great local dinner suggestions. The deck & patio was well gardened and offered a great escape from the touring insanity. I felt at home.

    Nothing that I can think of.

    The location near the train station, bus stops, and good restaurants is great. My room was very comfortable and had a pleasant view of the patio and the green hills. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. The patio is very pleasant when the sun is out. The proprietor, Rui, is the icing on the cake; he is very kind and helpful.

    Host was welcoming and very helpful. Happy to explain what and where to go to see things. Went out of his way to ensure it was a good stay. Breakfast was great. Good range of options. Location is good as far as close to rail and buses. Can walk to some sights but others a Tuk Tuk or taxi. The tourist bus stops nearly at front door.

    Bathroom could have done with some very very slight improvements (sliding door, soap dish maybe) but was otherwise clean, good size and the shower was perfect.

    Excellent breakfast for a 'small & friendly' venue. Always kept restocked and some items changed during our stay to maintains some variation. Location is brilliant for all modes of public transport getting too & getting around Sintra. The outdoor area is very pleasant and has great views.

    It's an older hotel so it has the typical quirks of an old hotel, but this is also what gives it it's charm.

    The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice, including fresh squeezed orange juice, real scrambled eggs, assortment of pastries/breads, jams, etc. Location was very close to the train station and a short walk into the historic part of town.

    + very kind and helpful staff, + breakfast is the same as in the photos (As a vegan, I could eat vegetables, fruits, seeds and plant milk for my muesli. My partnet is not vegan, he liked breakfast and could eat more. We both really enjoed terrasse with view on "Castelo dos Mouros"), + good location, + everything was clean, the room had a very high ceiling, which made it more spacious, + free private parking near hotel for free (first you park somewhere in the city (we found it quite difficult), then you go to check in, ask for the key and information about this parking lot, come back - park your car and use this place throughout your stay) .

    The bathroom we had could use a bit of an update. But overall the room was great. The parking is not easy as you need to ask Rui. But once you know where to park, his explanations were superb.

    The location, close to the historic centre. The breakfasts were outstanding. The old feel of the house and the patios.The owner, Rui, is the most helpful and charming host. Gives very good information about Sintra. Very comfortable hotel, run very efficiently.

    Mr. Rui and Bernardo were super helpful, especially regarding our request for parking. They had clear instructions to reach it and also helped us with the heavy luggage into the property. The terrace was lovely with plenty of seats to enjoy breakfast with good weather, as well as the view of the Moorish Castle, day and night. Breakfast was great. Mr. Rui also helped us regarding best time to visit the Pena Palace and how to best reach it. He also gave us a great tip for a hiking trail down from the Palace to the historical center, making our day trip even more exciting! Thank you for everything!
