Pestana Cidadela Cascais, Cascais

The hotel is located within the walls of an old fortress. Within the wall it is surrounded by a restaurant and art galleries. The area is particularly attractive. The hotel itself is a modern design with carefully appointed rooms with patios/lawns outside your door. Breakfast is quite good with an abundance of choices for guests. There is also an airy bar on the premises with friendly staff. A very nice restaurant is just across the entry courtyard. The central location of the hotel allows guests to walk to most of the sights, shops and restaurants.

This was our last stop on our trip to Portugal. Great location, historic exterior but the service certainly wasn’t a 5 star experience. It was far from it. When we first checked into our room it was in the basement with a very musty/mold smell. We left to go to dinner and came back to multiple cockroaches in our room. We went to the reception with all of our luggage. We know they can’t control where bugs are, but they can control their reaction. They seems unsurprised, unapologetic and zero care. They made a few calls, just changed our key, and told our room and as they handed us the new room number a quick “sorry” was said. The only person who seems to care the bellhop Antonio that took us to our new room. It was a very odd response from the front desk and an unprofessional experience. Certainly not how I wanted to end our trip and certainly should not have been charged for a room with bugs!

So cute and very Artsy! It was a great stop on our last night. Staff was very helpful and friendly. So many places to explore in the hotel and the art work was so great.

Very unique hotel in the old fort in Cascais. Wish we could have stayed longer!

VERY cool hotel given that it's inside the old fort. The room was a GREAT size and loved that it had a king size bed and bathroom with PLENTY of room for the both of us. We did have an issue where we were unable to use the air conditioning, we talked with the hotel staff and they basically told us there was nothing they could do (if one room on the floor has the heat on, no one else can turn the air conditioning on....). The breakfast was the worst of the three hotels we stayed in, but the views from the breakfast room were incredible. We did like that we had access to the spa/steam room! Location was excellent, easy walk around Cascais!

It is inside some very high walls. Quiet and comfortable. Breakfast is awesome.

We were able to stay in the historic castle part of the hotel. This was a unique experience. The staff is plentiful and well trained. Food was good and the location is beautiful.

This is not a 5 star hotel. Look elsewhere

Magnificent art work in large open lobby with a library to sit and ponder how they made this fortress into lovely rooms with outside sky views. Very interesting and easy walk to the beach and town .
Hard not to like Cascais and where it is but the fortress sealed our fondness.

This property is sublime. The grounds are appointed with incredible exterior sculptures and tranquil courtyard. The room was lovely, extremely spacious and comfortable. The pool area was peaceful, and we were able to have a cocktail while lounging in the sun. FIVE STARS!!
