Top Sintra Hotel Reviews

NH Sintra Centro

8/10 Good

"There was construction that woke us up at 6.00 am. Other than that, our stay was fine."

Arribas Sintra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I discovered the Arribas Sintra Hotel on Instagram and knew right away that I had to book it for our family—and it did not disappoint! The views are even more beautiful in person than they are in the pictures, with breathtaking sunsets, a stunning setting right by the ocean, and such a special atmosphere. It truly feels like a little piece of paradise. We had such a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back one day. Highly recommend!"

"The communication was excellent. The apartment as described. The walls are very thin and we could hear people having showers at 4ish in the morning! However it didn't ruin the stay as it was only once. The location is great for walking to many of the places of interest and to the station where there are good and reasonable restaurants"
