Vila Gale Estoril - Adults Friendly

We stayed here for a week in early May. While the lifts are small they can accommodate 4 people or two with luggage. There is access from the second floor by stairs, but it is not obvious - try going up the stairs from the reception area. The buffet for breakfast and lunch was very good, though sometimes with a crowd it took a while to replenish dishes. The omelettes made to order were great at breakfast. The staff were very helpful and helped us making the right choice of wine for value as we had no idea of the price charged when asking for a glass of wine and a bottle of water. This may have been with new staff at the beginning of the season. The rooms were very clean, ours on the second floor while having a floor length window which opened inwards just had a railing and no balcony, overlooking a small courtyard , while facing seawards, no view of the sea. The bathroom had fitted shower gel and no shampoo. There was no extra charge for use of the safe in the room. There is a rooftop pool with loungers accessed from the reception area or via the emergency stairs with planters. The walks along the promenade across the road beyond the railway line from the hotel were very convenient and one could walk in either direction, although a short stretch was beside the road before getting to S. Pedro beach, several train stops up the line. The train to Lisbon took about 40 minutes and you paid 50c for the card and €5.25 return to Lisbon. There were not too many shops or restaurants nearby as this is a more residential area, but plenty in Cascais just 2 train stops down the coast. I would recommend this hotel as a good place to use as a base.

Good room but noisy outside and hot inside. Comfortable beds and good bathroom.

This is a quality hotel in a great location. Room are somewhat dated, but clean and nice, check in was easy, very professional and friendly staff. Location is great, walking distance to a whole bunch of restaurants, across the street from the train station to Lisbon or Cascais, and the beach. The hotel included a breakfast buffet each morning including custom eggs and omelettes if you so desired, all you could really ask for. Staff was great to deal with, just extremely helpful and would do anything for you. They were helpful with directions always and english was spoken. It seemed possibly that there are a lot of staff there from Brazil, but english wasn't an issue and they fall over themselves to be helpful. Great value for money. Parking was easy, turn right before the front desk as you go toward the beach. I can't think of a bad thing to say about this place. Thanks for giving my group a great stay in Estoril. This is the place to stay if visiting Lisbon. Prices are better, the train is literally a 30 second walk across the street, 5 euro return ticket and a 35 minute ride on a modern train into the heart of Lisbon. Can't ask for better. There is a ****** there but it was a huge disappoin**ent (show your passport to get in the place, which was dead?). I don't recommend this ****** but it has nothing to do with how great the hotel was. I am committed to getting reviews done of these places because there are too many completely bogus reviews getting posted on here. This place will not disappoint.

We stayed one night and enjoyed the local beach and restaurants. Hotel was perfectly situated. We found our room clean but it was a little dated but overall just fine. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was delish at the buffet for dinner and breakfast.
