LEGASEA - Cascais Guesthouse

Great location, very clean and the air con was much appreciated.

The bottom bed sheet did not fit the mattress. It was not a fitted sheet and was not large enough to tuck in all the way round. There was no mattress protector and the mattress sank in the middle. We were in Fisherman’s. Booking.com described our room as having an extra large bed. It was not.

Lovely room. Great location !

Ac unit was not working unfortunately (it was hot!) but we were provided with another fan which helped

Wonderful location, everything is a short walk away, and the scenery in Cascais around the location is truly breathtaking. The staff serving the breakfast is very friendly, all my compliments to them. Our room was cleaned regularly, and was kept very clean and tidy. We were impressed with the modern design of the room and the comfortable beds. Overall I've had a wonderful stay at this location and I'll be looking forward to staying here again.

We got the room on the first floor, and you could hear people walking in the room above us. Nothing that bothered us personally, but if you are a light sleeper I could see the first floor room being a slight issue.

The breakfast was excellent and catered very well to gluten free and vegetarian diets and was tasty and very ample. The staff who cooked and served breakfast were extremely kind and friendly. The location: well, it's good if you want to be right in the centre of things and over a pizza restaurant. The cost was good compared to other lodgings in Cascais but this is because there is no host support and it's more like a hostel than a hotel. If you have a tighter budget and you either like partying all night yourself and/or have the world's best earplugs, then this could be the place for you.

We thought we were getting a small boutique hotel but this wasn't it. The location was extremely loud, we hadn't realised it would be located over a restaurant and adjacent to other restaurants with booming music until midnight - it was so loud we couldn't sleep. Also it overlooked one of the town's main recycling points so at daybreak (or before?) we awoke to the sound of smashing glass as townspeople emptied their bottles into the bin. The walls and ceilings were thin and not soundproofed and with large gaps under the doors, so we heard every noise of neighbouring guests including the extremely loud beeping when they keyed in their codes to open their doors late at night. The listing did not intimate that there is no reception for the guesthouse (ie no host on site), and furthermore, the hosts were not organised about welcoming us to Cascais despite our frequent and unanswered messages informing them of our arrival time. This was stressful for us. So it was only when we arrived and called the phone number posted on the wall that we received an entry code for the bedroom door. The mattress was fine but the pillows were so hard and lumpy as to be unusable. A water bottle was provided in the room but it was grimy so we ended up buying our own.
