Lovely room with a balcony overlooking the marina. You're looking through the castle's crenelations, because you are in an old fort. Bathroom lighting is a bit much, but it's clean. The location could not be better. The staff were universally competent and friendly, eager to please. There is quite a large lobby with easy chairs, chess tables, books, and a bar that also serves food. Again, staff were excellent. Breakfast was first class. In short a well-run, well-staffed, very pretty hotel in a perfect location. Note: There is another Pestana hotel in Cascais which is very definitely not this one.

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 .

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.
