Outside of the property was beautiful . Property was nice but a bit dated inside. Food choices were very limited - only 2 places to eat - the formal dining room - super expensive or the bar/lounge area . Dinner in the formal dining room starts at 8:30 pm which is a bit too late for our liking and the lounge area had a very very limited menu at expensive prices - the menu offers only sandwiches and they come with absolutely nothing - just a sandwich for 20 euros and nothing comes with it . I would not stay there again unless you want to be taken hostage by the hotel . Dining room and lounge staff were unfriendly but front desk were very courteous .

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.

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.
