Hotels in der Nähe von Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino, Alcântara

Hotel was great for what we needed, free parking and close to the venue we needed for a show. Problems they are going through refurbishment so had to switch rooms because of noise. And needed help to understand a/c settings. No need for online check in. Still had to go through the whole process at check in. Staff friendly. Room and bathroom standard and more than ample for short stay. We were there one night.

Fantastische Wohnung. Ich war auf einer Einzelreise, aber das wäre perfekt für Freunde, Familienpaare oder Geschäfts. Vollständig mit einem Kühlschrank, Backofen, Küchenartikel usw. großer Duschedruck. Komfortable Bett/Bademäntel. Hatte eine kleine Frage einchecken, da es eine elektronische Kontrolle ist, aber es gibt ein Telefon verfügbar und sie schickten jemanden direkt um Hilfe. Die einzige Kritik, die so ein kleines Detail ist, war, dass ich das Essen, das in der Wohnung neben der Tür gekocht wird, riechen könnte. Andernfalls kann ich nicht fehlen! Sie haben offenbar 18 Standorte in Portugal oder Lissabon, so werde ich defo wieder die Wohnungen verwenden!!

I am deeply dissatisfied with the online booking service offered by Zenhotels. I made a reservation for what I thought would be a private room with 2 pets allowed and made a payment of 97 euros, which according to the booking confirmation received, was the total amount for the reservation. I was supposed to only pay 6 euros for the tourist tax and 10 euros per pet for the entire stay. Upon arrival at the hotel (WOT Lisbon Nomad), I was informed that the reservation I had made did not correspond to a private room and that in order to get one, I would have to pay an additional 234.51 euros on top of the already paid 97 euros (this would be for the upgrade to a private room + 10 euros per day per pet). Obviously, this news at the time of check-in and with such a price difference (more than three times the original value) makes it almost impossible for the customer to seek an alternative. Furthermore, I tried to explain to the hotel that the website was not very clear about private or shared rooms, as the room description did not indicate that it was shared. Additionally, it did not mention that the payment for the pets was per day rather than for the entire stay. The person responded that if the website did not have complete information, it was not the hotel's problem. I countered that if they were selling their services through third parties, they are just as responsible as the website promoting them to ensure that the information is accurate; otherwise, they are complicit in a scheme to deceive customers. Finally, I decided not to proceed with the proposal because I found it disrespectful, an excessive charge compared to the original offer, and unprofessional. Therefore, I feel that I was cheated out of the 97 euros that I paid and that I could not use the offered service.

It’s been a long time since I was last in a youth hostel, and as a now 45 year old man there is probably a reason for this. Arriving late on the Tuesday night with fond memories of dorm parties and tequila slammers, I was greeted by what I initially thought was captain Jack Sparrow, but who actually transpired to be a very friendly chap who helped us to navigate the intricacies of the main entrance. Door buzzed, suitcases lifted up the stairs and ugh who let mum and dad in looks absorbed, we were handed our keys by a lovely member of the team alongside vouchers for two free shots. Enthusiastically we were informed that the bar was open until 1am that night, although we had missed the pub crawl for the evening. I’m flattered I guess, however we decided to give the shots a miss in favour of a nice sleep. Yup, Father Time catches up with us all… We had a private double with a shared bathroom, and although very small it was comfortable enough. The pillow has perhaps seen better days, but the A/C was a life saver! Spending the days walking around town and doing some gentle exploring, the nights were largely spent for myself at least in the bar area downstairs. It’s a small but perfectly functional area, and in all honesty wasn’t the screaming mess of teenagers away from home for the first time that I had been expecting. At 3 euros a pint I was certainly very happy to sit and read whilst various cool young things did their thing in the background. Declining participation in the pub crawl for a second time, I was tempted with the tapas tasting but plans for the night changed due to friends arriving a day early and diner reservations being made. From a comfort point of view, our bathroom was shared between three double rooms I believe on the third floor, and this was never an issue. I attribute this to the fact that we were likely on very different schedules with us going out for the day and back for the night, as opposed to the perhaps more night based activities of our fellow residents. Bedroom like I said small, but hey, who cares, we weren’t here to sit in a room all day. The breakfast was absolutely fine, and for 5 euros a day you really cannot complain. All in all very happy with my stay, though peeking into an open dorm room one day my god I wouldn’t have survived the week unless you could take 25 years off me! Good job though overall Sant Jordi, and I’d certainly consider staying again - safe, friendly and somewhere I’m sure 20 year old me would have had a blast!

Das Hotel ist sehr hübsch, die Zimmer sind geräumig (mit Balkon) und es gibt einen Pool. Das Frühstück ist gut, das Personal sehr, sehr freundlich. Die Lobby lädt zum Verweilen ein, hell, groß und nett eingerichtet. Das Meer ist ca. 5 Minuten entfernt, am Praia de Tamariz ist man in ca. 10 Minuten. Cascais erreicht man in ca. 15 Minuten über die Strandpromenade. In einer Minute Fußweg befindet sich eine Bushaltestelle, von der aus man nach Sintra fahren kann. Der Bahnhof ist 10 Minuten entfernt, die Fahrt nach Lissabon dauert ungefähr 40 Minuten. Estoril ist etwas hügelig und das Hotel liegt oberhalb, also unbedingt bequemes Schuhwerk einpacken 😉 Ich würde es wieder buchen.

Modernes, stilvolles Hotel mit erstaunlicher Aussicht auf Sesimbra Marina und Hügel (von der oberen Terrasse Suite). Das Personal brachte uns auch eine komplimentäre Flasche von Schaum- und Mini-Kachen für den Geburtstag meiner Frau, die sehr geschätzt wurde. Auch beim Frühstück eine gute Auswahl. Insgesamt, ein toller Ort zum Aufenthalt in Sesimbra.

I visited Portugal on a group tour that included stays at three pousadas. A big takeaway from my experience is that pousadas are remarkably variable. Pousada Mosteiro de Guimaraes, was fantastic, while Conimbriga Hotel Do Paço was abysmal. This one, Pousada Castelo Palmela, was somewhere in-between. I recommend you choose your pousada carefully. The positives of Pousada Castelo Palmela are many and significant. It’s a magnificent building with fantastic views. I recommend you save some time to explore the fortress the hotel is part of, and, when weather permits, you go to the west side of the pousada’s grounds to enjoy a lovely sunset. However, the staff of this pousada could improve. I got the impression that the place was understaffed, and not all staff were fully trained. Dining was disappointing; the pousada’s restaurant has limited capacity and books up quickly, and there are few if any local restaurants to use as an alternative. To solve this, you could book half board, or reserve your dinner table well in advance. However, I don’t recommend that because, as well as being small relative to the number of guest rooms, the restaurant isn’t very good. My dinners here were frankly awful – uninspired and badly served, often cold. I recommend you go grocery shopping and bring food with you when you return to the hotel, or use Uber Eats to have your dinner delivered (as I did).

Schönes Strandhotel. Das übersteigt unsere Erwartungen - das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber und der Balkon hatte wunderschöne Aussichten auf den Strand. Wir genossen den unendlichen Pool und waren sehr angenehm überrascht von dem Frühstück ( mit einer Terrasse, komplimentären Schüsselwein und einer Pancake-Maschine). Ideal gelegen, um die wunderschöne Stadt Sesimbra und den Strand zu erkunden. Wir werden sicher wieder bleiben!

Wir reservierten dieses Hotel, das nicht viel von ihm aus den USA wusste. wir bleiben 19 Tage und es ist ein wunderbares Hotel. Die Menschen sind sehr nett und professionell. Das Zimmer ist sehr grundlegende, wie wir suchten und sehr sauber. Das Frühstück hat eine große Vielfalt von Brötchen und Obst mit Eiern und Sauce. Der Kaffee ist sehr gut mit einer breiten Vielfalt. Ich empfehle das an jemanden, der keinen schönen Ort braucht, um mit einem großen Service und sauberen Zimmern zu bleiben. Danke für den großen Aufenthalt.

Das Hotel ist sehr gut gelegen in einem schönen Ort. Unser Schlafzimmer war groß und komfortabel, die Aussicht war schön, die Crew war professionell und nett. Das Frühstück war nicht groß, aber sehr geschmackvoll und genügend für uns, und es ist lokale Produkte (Schmetterling, Pfannkuchen usw.). Wir schätzen dieses Hotel und empfehlen es sehr.
