We stayed at this hotel for a week in March. The hotel is located across the road from the beach and the railway station and next to the Casino gardens. The hotel is very clean, breakfast was good though the staff struggled to cope when a large group was present one morning. I would say this hotel is more for corporate guests attending meetings in the nearby conference centre rather than for holiday makers. The plus points are : close to beach and station (very frequent trains into Lisbon - get the Navegante card for 10 Euros for train plus all public transport in Lisbon). You can request a kettle for your room. Rooms cleaned every day. Negative points : although centrally located there are not a lot of reasonably priced places to eat nearby though this may change during the summer months. Cascais was much livelier. One of the lifts did not always want to stop at the 7th floor - the staff were aware of the fault with the button. No balconies and we were unable to open the window (though the air conditioning worked well but I prefer fresh air). If I visited the area again I would stay in Cascais which is more of a holiday town rather than a corporate/conference venue (but again, in summer, the vibe may change and the beaches and promenade are fab) but a perfectly acceptable place to stay if you want easy access to Lisbon.

“Lovely hotel ”

We have stayed at this hotel numerous times over the past 15 years and wouldn’t consider any other in Estoril.The staff are very friendly and helpful with everything.The only improvement I would like is a non slip mat in the shower

“Very average.”

Plus points: Good location close to the train station, decent sized room, maid service every day, helpful staff, aircon worked well. Minus points: Canteen-like dining area, food quality very average with little variety, no grab handle or non-slip bathmat in the (too high) shower. Strangely there ... more

Strangely there was no direct access to the second floor via the stairs! Lifts very small.
