Great hotel The cleaning ladies were very smiley and friendly.
IrelandThis hotel is set inside a historic citadel. It is conveniently located to sights, shopping, bars, restaurants, beach and marina. The views are stunning from the breakfast room and pool. We were upgraded to a fantastic presidential suite with a modern sleek decor. Our suite overlooked the big courtyard. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We had a car and got a deal from the hotel in an underground parking lot around the corner for 10 euro a day. Breakfast is plentiful and juices and coffee are served at the table which is a nice touch. We loved this beautiful hotel.
CanadaArchitecturally distinguished post modern facility in an historic fort, surrounded by first rate art and close to the center of the seaside resort of Cascais. Superb breakfasts, excellent and helpful staff. A great getaway spot for the weekend.
United States of AmericaLocation was great and staff were very pleasant and accommodating.
BermudaStaff exceeded expectations, highly professional, very polite and very helpful.
United States of AmericaWe did not expect the place to be so cool. The hotel is not only located in an old fortress, it is very organically built into it. In fact, the whole fortress is a hotel. But the architect has implemented it inside so that at first you don’t guess about it. The hotel itself, as a center of modern art. Every day brought new openings. Very convenient location - the center of the resort, not far from the train and bus station - get quickly and without problems to Lisbon, Sintra, Cape Roca, Sintra, beaches for surfers, etc .. Near the park, which regularly hosts concerts of popular music artists. Spacious light rooms. Good unobtrusive service. Great breakfast. Swimming pools and fitness room. In general, the hotel is so good that you can not tell everything at once) You just need to come, relax and enjoy.
UkraineLocation is fantastic! Can’t beat living in a 600 year old fort.... that’s just simply cool!
United States of AmericaAmazing. Top quality selection. Even honey dripping from a honey comb. Immediately served by staff. Front desk personal very helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable. The entire facility was much larger than expected. Enjoyed the outdoor sculptures and artist studios. And so very close to the beach & town.
United States of AmericaMy hotel stay at the Pestana Cidadela was a terrific experience. The hotel design was very modern, but still warm and welcoming. It's location by the water is what you want when you're on vacation. The hotel breakfast had just enough variety, but more importantly it was very well staffed. There seemed to be a lot of great hotel options in Cascais, but this hotel experience exceeded my expectations enough for me to want to vacation here again.
United States of AmericaThe hotel has a unique and privileged location, inside the cidadela walls with a view to the marina, very close to the center, restaurants and shops. The staff is very helpful and super friendly. Great breakfast with a lovely view to the marina.
