Sintra is a magical place! The property is very well located if you like to walk around.
Great location and walking distance to shops. Breakfast can be had at numerous cafes around or cook your own in the kitchen. Our room was small but there were larger rooms available but without private bathrooms I believe.
Lovely property, I stayed in a single room with a private bathroom. Skylight in the room is very nice. Heater and AC worked during my stay. The property does not have an elevator, so be weary of bringing big luggage. Good area, close to train station and Sinatra castles
We were skeptical when we saw it from the outside, but everything was amazing! Everything always looked and smelled clean, check-in was super easy and we had great privacy even though we chose the option with shared bathrooms. The bathrooms were also super clean and nice. Only thing is the kitchen doesn’t really have any utilities - like no cutting knives, grater, sift, blender. It makes it quite hard to cook anything. Also it’s quite loud between the rooms, so if you have a noisy neighbor, that’s a little annoying😅 But great overall and a great place to come back and relax after a long day. Also placement in the city is amazing, we walked everywhere and we felt like nothing was to far away:)
Établissement propre. Mais, ancienne maison refaite, mais pas insonorisé pour les parties communes.
Puis, un parcours du combattant pour réserver. Un premier piaement pour la chambre, puis un second sur un autre site pour la taxe de séjour. Il faut être patient.
Chambre très coquette, propre, literie confortable.
Salle de bains moderne, propre.
Tout était parfait. De plus l’hôte est très réactif et aidant. Je recommande ++++++
Quartier calme, proche du marché municipal.
Proche de la gare de Sintra, des moyens de transports pour les différents sites.
Appartement partagé, chambre très agréable.
Le tout calme, très propre, très bien équipé et respectueux.
Nous avons réservé une nuit supplémentaire.
Merci beaucoup
El alojamiento era muy silencioso y en una ubicación muy buena. En la aplicación de Mouralua te dan acceso al código y un WhatsApp de atención al cliente que contestan y resuelven los problemas enseguida. Las habitaciones estan limpias, pero son pequeñas, tal y como aparecen en las fotografías.
Ein sehr sauberes modern eingerichtetes Zimmer und netter Loungeraum. Küche mit Kühlschrank und Kochmöglichkeit. Die Bäder sind sehr sauber und schön- sogar Toilette mit Hightech-Popodusche. Supernetter hilfsbereiter Host, der per App reagiert. Wir konnten unser Gepäck noch den Tag über stehen lassen nachdem Check-Out.
