Castelo de Palmela

Very comfortable and well run small hotel in authentic Lisbon neighbourhood. Lots of local places to have breakfast, lunch and supper. Good air conditioning and Wifi. Metro close by. Easy taxi ride to airport. Only drawback is no elevator - and lots of stairs - if you have heavy luggage.

WiFi didn’t work for the whole duration. One of our party was working but the WiFi didn’t work at all. The rest of us only needed it for socials but we still couldn’t connect for the whole 9 days. Door handles kept falling off. Asked for a clean from 2 people but it wasn’t done. Had to ask again the following day and it finally was. We had 3 rooms and half didn’t have enough cutlery, one didn’t have a toaster, some got bin bags / dishwasher tables etc. some did not. Inconsistent throughout. Gym equipment was broken (weights). Codes changed on our final evening so we couldn’t get into the property. We then had to find the number and call the property management to give us a new access code. Very inconvenient as it was after midnight. On the upside - the rooms were spacious, clean when we turned up, nice people on reception (when they’re there), nice space, the rooms all seem different, historic looking building, great location, easy for transport.

Clean quiet stylish and great location
