Reviews for Pestana Cidadela Cascais Pousada & Art Hotel

Beautiful hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

This is an amazing hotel with view to the sea and the Marina. The entrance of the hotel is histocal and magical, it is full of art with many paintings. The looby is cozy and they have many areas with small gardens. The breakfast is just wow, probably one of the best views that we had in a breakfast. The food option are good and the service is amazing with staff speaking to you and providing you info about the best places to visit in Cascais. They have a restaurant who serves typical protuguese food which is delicious and the best is the service, which they engage with you and make you feel at home. Definitely we recommend and we will be back.

A negative end to our trip

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

The hotel was lovely, staff are friendly. It is clean and very central. Our trip ended on a low point however when me and my Friend discovered that both our Ear Pods were missing from the room. Mine was in a zipped pouch in my case so I was mostly upset at the thought of someone rummaging through things. The hotel had us fill in a security report and said they were looking into it. They took my email address and phone number and said they would be in contact. We are back a week now and not a word from the hotel. Very disappointing to come back and not hear back. We are out of pocket after the trip as it will cost over E350 to replace them.

Big rip off

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

This establishment falls short of expectations with exorbitant charges, including 8 Euros for tap water. The octopus dish, steeped in vinegar, lacked freshness, raising concerns about its preparation and storage. Contrary to the manager's justification, it seems likely that the octopus had been marinated excessively. Comparisons with similar dishes elsewhere reveal a notable disparity in quality. Considering the adjacent hotel, we're relieved we opted against staying, as the overall experience suggests a lack of value and integrity.

Exceptional service and a beautiful town

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

What a beautiful hotel, the room was clean and really lovely, had no problem going back in evening after a long day and relaxing in the room, breakfast was plenty and had a lot of choice. The staff were exceptional, friendly and very helpful, nothing was to much trouble. The town of Cascais was so beautiful, really worth a visit if you want gorgeous scenery and a chilling break. Travelling to the neighbouring towns was very easy to do using Bolt and not to far, Lisbon was only 30 minutes away. We would definitely go again and would love to stay at this hotel. Thank you for a great stay

Amazing hotel, let down on poor service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

Stayed here as part of a Riviera tour and was really looking forward to experiencing this hotel. The location, design and buildings are amazing and really makes a first class impression. Couldn't fault the bedroom, bathroom and was looking forward to a luxury experience at breakfast. Sadly let down by two small points, which emphasized that staff attention to detail seemed lacking for a 5 star hotel. We had a coffee machine in our room, but no coffee pods. I had to ask at reception not once, or twice, but THREE times (over a period of about 2 hours) for someone to give us some and then we were begrudgingly given 2 pods (between us both, that was 1 each, which seemed a little mean). At breakfast it seemed impossible to attract the attention of any of the waiting staff - you needed to ask for coffee, as this was brought to the table, everything else was self service. We eventually managed to ask for coffee and waited 20 mins, asking two further members of staff, but none came. I eventually went up to the bar service area and asked the guy behind the counter and was told a table-service staff would bring it me. After another 15 minutes wait, we gave up. This is a basic level of service, which should be a given. I'm not a total coffee freak, but it seemed impossible to get a cup in this place, maybe there was a national shortage!
