This hotel predates the establishment of the United States and is absolutely wonderful. Perfectly accessible location and super quiet. Absolutely wonderful
Staff were amazing. Parking was a little rough but manageable. If you’re not comfortable parking in tight spaces, you might wanna take a train or get a ride in the room was amazing with an amazing view. I definitely go here again.
The spa options were not easy to arrange.
The hotel is otherwise a dream with its location, the view, the good mattress, the AC, delicious breakfast buffet.
Thank you.
This hotel was a dream. It’s was quiet and comfy. Bed was great. Breakfast was wonderful. When I checked out in the middle of the night for an early flight the person at the desk handed me a sack lunch/breakfast! I almost cried! Truly the best!
The boutique hotel is beautiful, tastefully decorated, and features modern infrastructure. It is very comfortable, elegant, and in a great location.
The receptionist, Beatriz, was exceptionally polite. She showed me all the common areas and shared the hotel’s history in a very engaging way.
I only spent one night here, but I’m already considering returning for another stay so I can visit more of the nearby castles.
By the way, breakfast was excellent and the views were amazing.
This charming historic hotel is full of character and history, yet it is exceptionally well maintained and spotless throughout. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The location is excellent for exploring Sintra, with easy access to the town's main attractions while still offering a peaceful atmosphere. Staying here felt like stepping back in time and experiencing a piece of Sintra's rich history.
The breakfast was also outstanding—one of the best I had during my trip.
I would highly recommend Lawrence's Hotel to anyone visiting Sintra. It is a truly special place to stay.
Amazing property and great staff! Our stay was amazing with comfortable beds and a wonderful breakfast selection and service! Definitely would stay here again!
Oldest hotel in Portugal I am told. The location can't be beat. The hotel offers a very quaint historical experience with basic modern amenities. The desk staff is very accommodating. It was some of the best I have experienced. Parking is a tough issue; but the staff helped tremendously. Sintra is not a town for cars. Price was very reasonable. I would stay again.

The location is excellent. Short walking distance to the historic center
The hotel is small, quaint but a bit old and run down.
I had to ask for the bellboys to help with our luggage, and to have our room cleaned.
Breakfast was just adequate.
There's convenient self-parking right in front of the hotel which is nice.
The hotel is expensive for what you get.

The staff was amazing and the hotel was very clean. The restaurant is good and the breakfast included as well!
Elegant old world charm, friendly front reception staff and excellent breakfast with hot and cold choices. Cannot park in the area as restricted use in old town. Getting an Uber to drop you off and walk a short way to hotel, even for seniors is ok.
Very nice room in a historic hotel. The oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsula.
Great location with available self parking and next to town. Nice restaurant and breakfast.
An absolute gem in Sintra. A beautiful hotel, our room was stunning with an enormous bathroom. The bed was divine and the room was quiet and spotless. There is parking available (see photo). Staff were very friendly and welcoming and are incredibly hospitable and proud of the hotel. Breakfast was fantastic and it is in a convenient location. I loved this hotel.
The room was okay. The good things were that there was a large bathroom. Things that could be improved are larger nightstands, and better linens for the bed. There was a smell of cigarettes in the room but was able to ventilate by opening the doors.
