Quinta da Maquia Hotel

brand new hotel in Sintra (< 1 year). Excellent location, great breakfast, still w/ some minor adjustments, but overall it is a good choice when in town for tourism or busness.

Can't fault this place. Great Gym. Really good breakfast in the morning. Clean and calm rooms.

The hotel has great potential but still many details need to be ironed out and currently I’d rate it more like a good B&B. It’s well -designed, mostly new construction however still incomplete - e.g. the spa was closed, the pool, while beautiful, was unheated and with air temps in the high 60’s /low 70’s was too cold to use. Staffing was minimal - a few people seemed to cover all areas from dining and reception to the bar (we had to request bar service at the reception) and the bar was also poorly stocked (for a hotel). There was just 1 cleaner for the property (!) and although we arrived early in the morning after an overnight flight we had to wait until 3.30 to access our rooms despite the hotel being almost empty when we arrived. The rooms were just okay - we had to switch one of two due to a very strong & overpowering mould odor - perhaps due to being in one of the older buildings - but staff were kind and helpful in that regard. Rooms were partially furnished (the fridge was sitting on the floor, college dorm-style, with a coffee machine perched on top and no table/desk of any kind to place items on). No extractor fan in the bathroom so everything fogged up in seconds, the safe was broken and there were various missing bits in each room (robes/slippers etc.) Many issues were fairly minor but considering the 4* designation we expected a more. The buffet breakfast however was great, fresh and high quality. We would consider a return if these details are addressed.

This is a wonderful brand new hotel just outside of Sintra The hotel offers a great dinner for 28euros. I think it should be added to their description of amenities. I would stay again without thinking

Absolutely wonderful hotel and staff
