8/10 Very good

A real unique hotel
My partner and I stayed 3 nights here as a base to visit Sintra. Overall we had a really pleasant stay. The property is built inside of an old fort and the different areas of the hotel are from various eras of construction - there is a small color coded map in the lobby that explains all of this. Honestly I think they downplay the history of the site and buildings, which is a bit of a shame. I would have loved if more info had been included in the room and around the property to explain some of the history. Most things you could want in Cascais are a short walk away and the galleries around the hotel courtyard were nice to visit. The breakfast buffet has a good selection to appeal to just about everyone but can be a little chaotic depending on the day and time. The pool is small and a bit of a challenge to find. Overall the signage around the property is a little lacking - it wasn't uncommon to see people getting lost trying to find their rooms.

Beautiful stay in the Artistic centre of Cascais.
Loved every moment, from driving under the archway into the courtyard; the setting of this hotel is phenomenal. The staff were so kind and giving. I loved everything about my stay at Pestana Cidadela Cascais. I'll be back.

Ants in my room.
The room had ants in it. The hot food was cold. The room should have been described as a down-floor room with people walking past which meant the curtain had to be closed all the time.

Nice pleasant stay
The weather was good, the hotel ideally located and peaceful, the room was hit and miss with the cleaning and towel changes and some days didn't get done until the evening. We had a lovely holiday and I would recommend the hotel and Cascais.
