My room and view from the windows where gorgeous. The decor was well maintained Old World charm. Everything was well kept up without a “worn” look. But the staff is very young and has not matched a 5 star rating. No wine tasting at 5pm or snacks or music just a hotel in a good location. Many times the desk didn’t know the travel answers to my questions. My first day experience at breakfast had no glasses or waitstaff helping at the buffet. Their was a long wait for coffee yet we only had 8-10 people.

Definitely not a 5 star hotel however the location makes up for it. Old hotel needs some updating. Old creaky floor boards, old bathroom and no outlet for dryer. Loud room in morning due to deliveries for the kitchen. Staff nice though! Too much money but they have the location to old town. Breakfast good.

Having chosen the property partly based on the availability of parking it was concerning that there was none available when we checked in at 3pm. We were just lucky that a spot was free on the small street outside.

“Disappointing experience. Poor night's sleep due to loud vents and taciturn staff. Felt unwelcome”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
Lawrence's Hotel claims to be the oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsular and to be honest it shows. Our experience did not meet our expectations at all as we were hoping for a charming and historic spot in magical Sintra. However, we were met with taciturn staff upon check-in and promptly realised the air conditioning vent in the William Beckford room was antiquated and extremely loud. We made a complaint to the staff and were thankfully moved to their suite. Although the suite was much roomier the same problem was in this room as well: old, cranky air vents which operated and clanked all through the night even when seemingly turned off. The minibar was completely empty in both our rooms and the complementary water was from the tap and then bottled. The 'bar' area in Lawrence's is non-existent for guests and is shared with the visitors on the street so the only seating area is a small corner of the general thoroughfare, the bar also promptly closes at 7pm every evening as day-visitors to Sintra return to Lisbon (be aware that Sintra has no night-life and very few restaurants / bars worth visiting). The breakfast is not worth getting up for as the quality is quite poor, though the food in general in Sintra is overpriced and poor. We did not dine here in the evening due to the breakfast so would recommend Romaria de Baco or Tascantiga. We had arranged an airport shuttle at the time of booking which was confirmed by the hotel. Upon check out we asked them to confirm this booking which was for later on that day. Both staff seemed perplexed and had no record of the booking. After much frantic and unprofessional chatting between them and calling car services we decided to get an Uber for half the price and none of the hassle. We were thoroughly disappointed by Lawrence's and would not recommend staying here under any circumstances. The whole hotel feels dated, tired and poorly run.
The location is well situated, it is a short 5 minute walk to the town centre but do not be tempted by the many restaurants on the square as they are overpriced, crowded and disappointing. The views from the hotel windows are one of the redeeming features of this underwhelming and disappointing establishment.

- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 1 night
We drove into Sintra from Lisbon. Very difficult to navigate around Sintra. Wished I knew that the hotel did not have any parking available. Also, the staff did not do a good job showing us around the hotel. Our first-floor room looked right outside the sidewalk restaurant. When I opened the window, it looked out over someone's table. We booked far in advance and should have been provided with a room in a better location in the hotel
Breakfast was lovely on the patio.
