Place was unique. Room was spacious and uniquely designed. The only window was up some stairs and you couldn't really see out of it. There was an art gallery and book store next to the hotel on the property which were very nice.

Comfortable hotel in historic building / setting

The Pousada Cascais is an excellent hotel. Such a fascinating, historic building and an excellent location just s short walk from the restaurants and bars of Cascais. Staff are also really friendly and helpful. This is our second visit and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Great hotel!

Loved the hotel! Service was excellent. The only criticism we have is that there is zero signage - we circled three times before we finally stopped a police officer to help us.

Liked: Cleanliness
Beautiful , actually exceptionally well designed building and surrounding, the latter being the fact that the hotel is inside the citadel with interesting art galleries, next to the marina and the main city center. However, the stay did not meet our expectations. Despite having booked a room for three person (possible as per the search made) the room was prepared for two persons only, and to get another bed, towels, bath robes, cups etc for the third persons was not easy. Moreover the next morning despite call to the reception and talking to the spa staff, the sauna was not heated up to the requested level. And initially the reception did not recognize the VIP status and I had to specifically ask for it.

Pestana Cascais Stay

Very enjoyable stay. The hotel is ideally located in Cascais with beaches, major attractions and restaurants within 15-20 minute walk. Hotel design is quite unique given it’s in the old castle. Breakfast good with great views over the marina (watch for seagulls wanting your food though!) As other reviewers have noted, the corridors are long and some of rooms have steps leading to them - not an issue for me, but could be for those with any mobility considerations. Overall recommend this hotel.
