Driving to and parking at the hotel are frequently challenging due to restricted access and QR codes needed for the barrier. While service is often warm and helpful, some guests report slow responses or poor restaurant service, plus temperature control and other in-room quirks. Overall, expect a convenient city-center base with more charm than polish.

Facilities
On-site garage parking is available but access sits in a restricted zone and often requires a QR code, which many found confusing. The bar and terrace are popular for views and happy hour; occasional elevator issues were reported.

Marvelous views that are breathtaking. This is not driving area for the faint of heart! Hotel garage hard to find in tiny alley with tons of pedestrians. Street parking rate. Hotel staff, bar, breakfast quality all top notch.

Worth extra $ to get river view room. Windows have good soundproofing. Great breakfast buffet with coffee machine. Parking 20£/NT but very safe inside hotel’s garage.

Foi o pior hotel que ficamos nesta viagem: café da manhã deixando a desejar, elevador que não funciona, quarto sem regulagem do ar condicionado, ralo do banheiro entupido (e não conseguiram desentupir, mesmo com a reclamação), vaso sanitário quebrado, barulho no ar condicionado. Também colocaram cama de solteiro para o casal e após reclamação colocaram um pilowtop para enganar. Muito ruim. Esta rede NH é complicada, fiquei em outro em Bruxelas com vários problemas. Não me hospedo mais nesta rede

The hotel was very attractive inside, clean, and comfortable. Outside, the building was of average architecture. The streets in this area are very narrow with limited parking, although the hotel had garage parking. We recommend leaving your car parked and walk or ride on the many open-air taxis. The hotel staff could not have been nicer or more helpful.

Excelente, muy bien ubicado, limpio. Trato amable del personal, el desayuno con lo necesario y de buen sabor. Solo un punto, cuando llegas en carro, en la cuadra de acceso hay un bloqueo, se necesita código QR, no sabíamos, y en Sintra quedar así en la calle es difícil. Lo solucionamos pero es importante que cuando se haga la reserva se enviará el código o el contacto para obtenerlo una vez se llegue. Como dije, excelente hotel es solo un punto de mejora y para los que llegamos en carro.

Buona struttura. Comoda, attaccata al centro storico e con parcheggio a pagamento (15€); per accedervi conviene contattare l’hotel cosicché vi possano mandare un qr code per accedere al centro storico. Ci sono dei parcheggi anche davanti all’hotel ma sono pochi. Colazione buona e varia, in stile NH. Camera grande e spaziosa (suite) con due stanze, di cui una matrimoniale e l’altra salottino, adibita a cameretta con divano letto e un letto pieghevole (un po’ vecchiotto). Bagno con lavandino a ciotola non comodissimo, ma per una notte va bene. La camera era in parquet. Bella sorpresa aperitivo di benvenuto con piatto di salumi e formaggi…c’era anche una bottiglia di vino, ma non l’abbiamo aperta e non sappiamo se faceva parte del benvenuto; graditissima l’acqua (5 bottiglie complessivamente per 4 persone). Presente anche il ristorante, parrucchiere e palestra ma sono servizi di cui non abbiamo usufruito.

Centrally located next to the palace and shopping. Although the roads in that part of town are narrow and difficult to navigate, the on-site parking and close in location made it a perfect stop after a long day of travel. Would stay there again…maybe stay more than one night and explore Sintra more.

Sintra was lovely. Hotel is close to some popular attractions and many restaurants. Very convenient. A little old but clean. Had a little trouble with the QR code to access the hotel parking. Thankfully it worked in the end. The driver behind us who seemed like a resident of the town was getting a little impatient. In the end, he got out of his car and helped us to speak with hotel staff through the gantry speaker.

Honestly, I am surprised this is a 4 star hotel. The good: you can't ask for a better location. Right in the historic center with gorgeous views in every direction. Not too far from the train station and a -15 minute walk from the Quinta da Regaleira. Restaurants and cafés practically at your doorstep. The balcony offered a stunning view of the hills. The bad: staff was indifferent, at best. The room had mould! Mould in the corners of the bathroom, on the balcony curtains. Stains on the walls- particularly concerning, black and brown stains on the wall next to the toilet. Black scuff marks in the bathtub, hair in the grout. The heater would only blow cold and the insulation was poor so it was a chilly night. Not that I could have slept well on a mattress that was pure springs and a frame that moved every time I did. And for an extortinate €19, a breakfast on par with something you'd find included at a chain hotel in the States.

The location is amazing in the upper town and the views are spectacular. The service was excellent. That said, the property needs work. room had a mildew smell and needed general maintenance (the door stuck, the bidet didn't work, etc.) No one should bring a car. While there is a garage, the hotel is in the pedestrian zone and driving is very difficult.

While the exterior of the hotel looked quite dated, the interiors were stunning, new and stylish. Beds were comfy, and bathrooms and fixtures were all updated. Views were expansive and beyond stunning to water, alley and castles. . Hotel is the best location if you want to be in the heart of this charming town and walk to shops and restaurants. We could also walk to some of the castles. Staff was incredibly gracious, and many nice amenities and gifts were found in the room. Plus we had an enormous balcony as we had the end unit. Would absolutely recommend!

This hotel was fairly clean, beds and pillows were pretty comfortable. Easy to find and good location in the heart of the city. The breakfast was excellent as well. Have to pay for parking, and they do not guarantee a parking spot either which was unfortunate. The hotel lobby is really gorgeous, but the rooms are a little worn for a 4 star hotel. A couple things just broke or fell off, for example when I closed the door to the room, a plastic piece from the room card scanner fell off. Chipped paint and worn and torn flooring. I would likely stay here again though.

Great location. The hotel seemed to be a little older, but, very well-maintained and seem to have been updated recently. We loved our balcony and had a great view. The staff was helpful. The only heads up I would give,, the hotel had mentioned that if we were driving, that we would need a code to let down a barrier so we could get to the hotel. It said to call a phone number. When I did, it was all in Portuguese. In their defense, I did not message them for further details or instructions. I did just drive there to try to figure it out once we were there. It would have been nice if the email had been more detailed. Also, if you were planning on driving, make sure you message them. They can email you or send you a QR code on WhatsApp. You do have to get a new code every day. Otherwise, it was a great stay and loved sintra

They need to update the hotel. The room was big and the breakfast was decent though they should have better coffee We woke up in a sweat and had the thermostat to 17C… we learned that the vent only blows heat. So they gave us an old fan caked in dust… they gave us only 1 roll of toilet paper so we Asked for a second and it took over an hour to get and i had to Ashley again. Getting an extra towel also took a while. The front desk guy was rude as he told me Uber couldn’t come to the hotel and when I clarified where he responded rudely

Hard to get to. Once there you must park. But you can walk to everything. Parking was fine outside hotel. It’s extra $$$ Front desk check in service was horrible. No help or explanation we asked three times about parking before we could understand. Our key cards didn’t work TWICE and we had to go back to front desk. The elevators were awful. Most times didn’t come. Waited too long so went to stairs. We stayed at five different hotels while in Portugal. This was the most uncomfortable bed. We unfortunately had booked two nights. Second night I had to sleep on pillows. Also couldn’t sleep because there was some extremely loud AC or condenser unit outside close to our patio door and it never shut off… door closed and ear plugs could still hear it. The room we had was view behind hotel. It was not a nice site. Run down apartments or buildings.

Our 2 night stay at NH Sintra was fantastic. The room was beautiful - well equipped, fully functional, spacious and attractive. The staff were very friendly and efficient, I'd like to specifically mention the front desk staff at both check in and check out, and also Diogo in the restaurant/bar area who provided great service, was engaging to talk to and very helpful. The breakfast buffet was good, but at times, demand overwhelmed supply and staffing - I'd recommend going early. Turn right out of the hotel entrance and you are in the center of town at the National Palace, but plenty of other places are walkable too if you have the shoes (and the legs). We found it preferable to walk up to Quinta da Regaleira to avoid being stuck in traffic and also took the back route (via the Igreja de Santa Maria) to the Moorish Castle which was magical on a cloudy morning, even if the view from the top wasn't as good as it would have been in clear weather. Tip: the hotel has a happy hour where you can get 2 glasses of wine for the price of 1 (EU5-7) which is a great deal.

Hotel deixou muito a desejar, principalmente pelo atendimento do pessoal da recepção, Somente o recepcionista João que estava no dia que cheguei era atencioso. O padrão do hotel está longe dos hotéis NH que já fiquei, tanto na estrutura, quanto no atendimento. Ar condicionado não funcionava adequadamente, foi necessário solicitar ventiladores. Café da manha ok, mas não podiam fazer nada diferente, estávamos um uma criança e nada era possível para eles. No check out o portal da garagem não funcionava e o recepcionista não queria fazer nada para ajudar e falou q se eu perdesse o voo o problema não era dele, um grande descaso, falou que tinha ligado para o técnico mas não tinha previsão e que não iria colocar no manual. Graças a deus fui na garagem e o portão funcionou. Ainda me mandaram um email muito desrespeitosos após minha estadia. Não recomendo ficar nesse hotel, apesar de uma boa localização.

I chose your hotel specifically because of its central location in Sintra, expecting comfort and quality that reflect the significance of this historic town. Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing. The hotel is, frankly, unacceptably outdated. The elevator only works if you press and hold the button constantly. The restaurant serves uninspired sandwiches and lacks a proper lunch menu. The front desk is staffed by young receptionists who appear untrained and unable to answer the most basic questions about the area. One rainy day, I was given an umbrella which broke as soon as I opened it outside. On the evening before my departure, I requested a taxi — the next morning, the receptionist on duty had no idea about the request or my destination. There was, however, one excellent staff member — Francisco — whose professionalism stood out starkly. I made sure to ask his name because he was the only person in the hotel who truly knew what he was doing. Overall, every detail of the stay was weighed down by poor coordination and a lack of basic standards. This level of service — in the heart of a UNESCO-protected historic town — seriously damages the image of Sintra as a destination. I believe it’s important not to hide this truth.

The hotel staff went above and beyond for two American tourists trying to enjoy the best of Portugal. Secured us a cab to take us to some of the more remote places and recommended amazing dining in the area. Definitely recommend staying here if you come to Sintra.

Location
Exceptional central location beside the National Palace, ideal for walking to major sights, shops, and restaurants. Access by car is difficult with narrow one-way streets and restricted zones, and ride pickups sometimes require a short walk.

Hotel is in the historic center of Sintra, close to all the restaurants and sightseeings. Hotel staff was extremely helpful with parking (I arrived by car) and I learned that I had to use a bell at the garage entry to open the door 🙂

Marvelous views that are breathtaking. This is not driving area for the faint of heart! Hotel garage hard to find in tiny alley with tons of pedestrians. Street parking rate. Hotel staff, bar, breakfast quality all top notch.

What a wonderful stay here! It was difficult to get to by car but once there, we parked in their underground garage and left the car there until our departure. Buffet breakfast included which was very good. Right next to National Palace of Sintra. Walkable to all sites, restaurants and shopping. Definitely recommend staying there!

The view of the castle from their balcony was the highlight of the hotel for me. Both nights we enjoyed the music and view outside. We could walk to all the shops and restaurants. We drove a rental car to this location. It was tricky parking and driving a stick.

Centrally located next to the palace and shopping. Although the roads in that part of town are narrow and difficult to navigate, the on-site parking and close in location made it a perfect stop after a long day of travel. Would stay there again…maybe stay more than one night and explore Sintra more.

Sintra was lovely. Hotel is close to some popular attractions and many restaurants. Very convenient. A little old but clean. Had a little trouble with the QR code to access the hotel parking. Thankfully it worked in the end. The driver behind us who seemed like a resident of the town was getting a little impatient. In the end, he got out of his car and helped us to speak with hotel staff through the gantry speaker.

Location was great. The room was clean. Easy to get uber near the hotel to Pena palace and many other attractions. The view from the valley view room was okay. The breakfast didn't have much selection, and the cooked eggs were so greasy. We would stay at another hotel near the cape if we visit Sintra next time.

It was our 40th Anniversary trip. The reception at the front desk was excellent! They went so for as to have a free bottle of champagne on ice in our room before we went up. The front desk, restaurant & breakfast staff were very friendly & accommodating. Restaurant food was good. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety. The location could not be better for walking around the historic downtown Sintra! Highly recommend this hotel!

It’s in a fantastic location. There is some work which needs to be done to the property, which lets it down a little. The first room we stayed in had some plumbing issues which caused the wall itself to leak when the shower was running. We moved rooms and the hotel staff were very apologetic and incredibly nice about it. The next room we were in had clearly had recent work taken out on it, which hadn’t been painted over or finished properly, though there were no leaking walls and everything was perfectly fine. Aside from that, everything was very clean and the hotel staff were very friendly. The bar is nice and there is a great balcony, avoid the restaurant though. The food is truly awful and the service is worse. A shame, as the space is perfectly nice and the view is great, it’s a real wasted opportunity. A very nice spot for quiet afternoon drinks though and there are plenty of good dining options within a five minute walk.

The perfect location, right across from the national palace. A bit of an older hotel but it was clean and spacious, and i had a small terrace and it was comfortable to stay. Breakfast was a buffet and most of the usual European breakfast you often see but also different health bits like spirulina! I haven’t seen that before on a hotel spread! I’d definitely stay again.

Instruction to get in to the hotel was not clear very well. We had to contact the hotel from where signal was available to get the code to get in. Code reader was broke. A nice lady taxi driver helped us to open the gate after 45 minutes !! It shows 4 Star but in comparison to the other hotels, maybe 2 or hardly 3 Star. Rooms, bathroom need to be refurbished desperately.
