Portugal Accommodation

The staff was a group of the most amazing young people. We would explain what we were looking for and then they would make the most perfect suggestions for us. It's really for this reason that we had such a wonderful time in Lisbon. The room looked out onto Rossia Square with such incredibly picturesque views. The location was amazing. The breakfast was superb. The Lisboa card was worth every penny...and did I mention the desk staff...

Enjoyed our experience in Lisbon..a super city with lots of interesting places to visit. The local people were friendly and helpful. Public transport very accessible.

Mundial turned out to be everything we required for 5 days in Lisbon. Nothing about the Hotel caused us reason to be unhappy about our choice and it's location for going anywhere in the city or surrounding area was even better than expected. Taxi transfer from the airport is about 4 miles and is cheap at around 10-12 euros. We bought a 3 day "Lisboa Card" each and would recommend it for anyone who wants to cram in as much sightseeing as possible (and there's plenty of that to do around the city). The card gives unlimited use of all the excellent and safe public transport systems and removes the need for any other tickets to travel around. The Metro system is modern, fast and so easy to use and a must for getting around or interchanging with trains and trams. Must see attractions within the city are the Castle, Belim, and the spectacular Oceanarium all of which get discounted entry prices on the Lisboa Card. In the surrounding area another "must do" is a visit to Sintra, a world heritage site, where the Royal Palace and Moorish Castle are located. Allow a full day for this. The Lisboa Card is valid for trains to Sintra from Rossio station and departures are regular. The journey takes about 40 minutes. A hop-on hop-off public service bus does a very long and steep circular route around the palaces and castles from Sintra centre for 5 euros per person (much cheaper than local tour operators). We found Lisboans to be friendly, helpful people and English is understood everywhere.

The staff and facilities met all of my expectations and will return for a third time.

Paid for a room with a view and had room with balcony on 5th floor. Lovely watching the birds over the nature reserve. Yes there were party goers outside on Friday and Saturday night but either stay up late or take earplugs. We don't drive abroad and the location is fantastic for the buses, trains, ferry to islha deserta,boat trip around nature reserve and bike hire. The gym is also excellent. No complaints about the food - good breakfast and had cataplana 'meal deal' one evening which was excellent.

Very courteous staffs Good indoor and outdoor swimming pool Located on beach front Fantastic restaurant

The Pestana is an excellent hotel facing the ocean. From our room we had an excellent view to the hotel pools and gardens and to the ocean. It was like being in the middle of the sea. Service was excellent and the staff incredibly helpful and nice. We had breakfast included and, leaving at 3:00 a.m., they offered to bring tea or coffee to our room. We accepted and we had a complete continental breakfast brought to our room at 2:00 a.m. at no charge. The hotel has beautiful outdoors/indoors pools, sauna, steam and a small gym. Rooms are clean, spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is not close to downtown but the hotel offers a shuttle service which works until 7:00 pm.

Really relaxing and good value, if you don't mind the size. Rooms are designer style and very large.
