This hotel offers a memorable experience inside an old fortress, blending history with comfort. The location is ideal—just steps from great restaurants and shops in the heart of the tourist area. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of thoughtful amenities throughout the property. The layout can be a bit confusing, so expect some walking to get around. Bathrooms are serviceable but could use better lighting. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Lobby bar is fantastic.

We stayed one week with our 17 year old daughter, in ‘el Corte Ingles’ suite and it was a good size, with views over the marina, very comfortable (and great having two bathrooms). The place is well located for walks into town and if you have a car there is reduced price access to a nearby underground car park. Easy 10minute walk to train station for the ride into Lisbon. The staff were, without exception, friendly, polite & helpful and special mention goes to George, a porter who was incredibly friendly & helpful, & who was often at reception during our stay. If we were to return we’d definitely stay at Pestana Cidadela again.
