I think some of the reviews here are quite harsh. While some of the decor is slightly old-fashioned we found - during our three-night stay - that the hotel was clean, the staff were always cheerful & helpful and the breakfasts were more than adequate. Sure, you have to walk for ten minutes to get into the centre of Cascais... More

My wife and I just completed a wonderful 3 week stay at The Cidadela Cascais Hotel in March 2013. Our apartment was well equipped and very spacious. All the staff were friendly and very co-operative. They went out of their way to assist us and make our stay pleasant. The breakfast every morning was fantastic! A short 10 minute walk... More

My partner and I took a long time over the selection of this hotel and it was well worth it. It seems to be one of those older more dignified types of establishments that just "does exactly what it says on the tin" consistently!

If you are travelling on a budget or you do not need luxurious centrally located hotel, this is the right place! I did not expect much about this hotel, but I was very nicely surprised. I was feeling the atmosphere like in an old english seaside hotel, do not ask me where this impression came from (design? many english travelleres?).... More

Stayed here for 4 days. Staff very friendly and helpful , rooms kept very clean, breakfast selection very good. Hotel decor is a bit dated but rooms are comfortable. Good location for Cascais and within easy access of public transport into Lisbon.

We travelled as a couple and needed a place on the Lisbon Coast with good connections to Sintra for a friend's wedding. We were very pleased with our choice of Cascais ( a lovely resort with lots to do, good restaurants and little tourist tat). The Cidadela is a three star, but it had all we needed- a good breakfast(regularly... More

We were a group of 4 people who were in Portugal to visit the Optimus Alive festival just out on the outskirts of Lisbon. We wanted a reasonably priced hotel with a pool to relax in the day time. Admitedly the hotel is a few years old, but the furniture and fixtures where of good quality. In a few years... More

Old decor and a tired image. The room was adequate though the bathroom had inground dirt. All a bit old fashioned. Lovely to sit on the balcony on an evening if only the beeping of the pedestrian crossing would stop it went off every minute. The pool was nice enough if a bit cold you had to really want to... More
