I had a few concerns:
1. I booked the room for two travelers, but two twin beds were stuck together in the queen frame! So technically it was one queen bed with a hole in the middle.
2. AC is always OFF! I was sweating during breakfast!!! Not acceptable!
3. Pool opens at 9 a.m. - too late!
4. Elevator is ridiculously small. Barely can fit two people!
5. Service in restaurants is slow. Sometimes have to stand and find a waiter to bring attention.
6. Mini fridge was installed in the wall cabinet, why?!
7. Not enough shelves for clothes in the cabinet.

Hotel is in a great location. Right across from the beach, train station, casino, and close to many restaurants. It is only a two people elevator so it can be a bit tight with luggage. Elevators moved quick and you are only waiting a few min. Breakfast was amazing and restaurants at hotel were good. It is walking distance to the beach and only a train ride to Lisbon. Amazing stay and would stay again.

I loved the Vila Gale Estoril hotel and your restaurant Manger \"Manuel\" was outstanding, offering great personalized service. KUDOS to Manuel.

We are currently at the Vila Gale in Porto.
We love your Hotels and hope you will offer a frequent traveler rewards program where your frequent customers can earn points for upgrades and/or discounts.

The property looks dated and it needs some upgrades, the smell of sewage is not pleasant they have to fix this problem. The breakfast was good, nothing special but ok.
We had the best view of the ocean from our room on the 8th floor, it makes sense to pay extra for this view.
The best thing about this hotel was the staff, especially at the front desk. Andrew and his crew was the best, very helpful!

We had a very nice stay. I would say that breakfast was very busy and staff had a hard time keeping up with the demand. We had to wait 20 minutes for them to put more water st the buffet, which disappeared in five minutes. A fountain would make more sense rather than 4 bottles of water for the crowds! Other than that nice property and we loved the pool. Great proximity to beach and to the corniche.

Excellent. I would stay here again despite the scary/funny humongous mural of Meat Loaf (as he appeared in the 1970s) dominating the big wall above the beds. I had to use a false backdrop for my Zoom calls because his head appeared as large as mine. The location is excellent, the staff friendly, and the included breakfast was great. They have live music in their bar and the performer was fantastic. He even did Meat Loaf for us, which everybody thought hilarious after insisting to come up and see my room. I would stay here again.

It is quiet area with many restaurants options. I love the themed rooms. It takes you back in time. The pool area is lovely. I did not use the pool on this trip.

The property is dated, an 80s throwback. It needs complete updating and re-design for a 4-star hotel. There is a nightclub across the road pumping out music until late towards the weekend, a tired basement gym, limited sun loungers, no actual balconies (just bay windows) and basic restaurants / bar. It is clean, the rooms are a decent size and the beds comfortable but I expect this from simpler, cheaper establishments.

Even checked us in early. Every request that was asked of the staff was taken care of very promptly. Breakfast was delicious. Check out was a breeze. All of the staff was very friendly. Hotel is very clean. Never had a problem with noise and my room was by the elevator. If I had to say one negative thing is that room service and bar service at the pool was a bit slow. But, I can't really complain because I know most hotels and restaurants all over the world are understaffed for some reason. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to everyone.

The hotel claimed to have a fully accessible room. However the room provided was poorly laid out for a wheelchair user and a shower chair wasnt initially provided. The swimming pool area could not be accessed by a wheelchair user - it was necessary to climb 2 floors of steps. The elevators in the main hotel were very small with little space for a wheelchair user.

The area around the hotel was generally unsuitable for a wheelchair user. High curbs, steep incline ramps and non functioning elevators.

Summary of our stay in Cascais

We stayed 4 nights--1 night before and 3 nights as part of a 14 day guided tour of Portugal. The hotel and staff were outstanding. The rooms are typical European being a little small with few electrical receptacles so bring an extension cord. Carla at the Front Desk was wonderful. She helped us with so much valuable information. She made our stay in Cascais! We enjoyed the personality of the bartender. He was always smiling. Rodrigo the manager was also very helpful.

The rooms are dated and have mold everywhere. If you are allergic to mold do not stay in this hotel. I have pictures of all the mold in the bathrooms and floors. Most rooms are small and overcharged.

My stay was next to the elevator with a lot of noise. Also doors are not working and they take more than 24 hours to fix anything (even to install new bateries) and the costumer is always wrong no matter how right to costumer may be.

Very old red carpets in most rooms with bed smell.

Air conditioner had a brocken piece and wind would go to our faces only.
Electrical outlets did not work and only 50% of light sources worked.

Most good, one aspect bad

Hotel was well situated for beach, transport to Lisbon and Sintra. Staff very helpful for information for travelling to Lisbon etc. Breakfast was good. All was well except for noise in rooms - 4 of my 7 nights I was disturbed by noise of a disco nearby which went on till 5am. This was reported to staff. They were aware of this issue and other clients had complained but nothing changed. The road outside was noisy too especially with motorbikes.This was a pity as otherwise the Hotel was good. Anyone considering booking this hotel should consider asking for a room away from front ( no need for a sea view ). It may be quieter.
