We had one of the older style rooms on the 4th floor overlooking the casino. Our room was very dated, but the bed was super long (great for tall people) and comfortable! The 4th floor balcony was really big. Air conditioning was fantastic, we found it to be really quiet at night.

On the plus side, this hotel has been refurbished in a modern style and is reasonably well equipped, although it lacks a bar or restaurant. However, the area around there is very well served by restaurants, cafés and bars and the hotel is directly in front of the casino and gardens, and so is excellently located. Additionally, the hotel has a lower level open air car park secured by a gate that you access with a code. What lets this hotel down mainly is the pool quality of staff at the reception. It wasn’t clear whether they were poorly trained or just didn’t care but the service that they offered was very poor. For instance, the instructions on how to utilise the electronic safe in the room was inadequate. When I asked the reception staff for help the only response I got was that they didn’t know what to do either as the safes were relatively new. That’s really not an excuse! Also, although the room was equipped with cups and a kettle, pods were required and had to be paid for, with a dispenser machine located in reception. However, when I asked them to break a €10 note so I could get change for the machine, unbelievably they said they didn’t have any change. It’s things like this, and the absence of any towel hooks in the bathroom or any kind of entrance to the lower level car park (you have to walk around the building and go through the gate like the cars do) the stops this being what I would rate to be a good hotel. These things are easily remedied but I haven’t been

We find the rooms to be spacious, and the location handy.
It is a lovely 20-min stroll, along the boardwalk, to Cascais. We find the rooms to be spacious and well-maintained, and the staff willing to help. We will be back (again)...

I have been in Portugal many times and this area (Estoril) it’s one of the best places to stay if you rent a car (very cheap in Portugal, around £6 per day) to enjoy the tourist attractions of Sintra, Cascais, Estoril and Lisbon!
I suggest you don’t pay the 10 euros per person for the breakfast in the hotel, there are many other places (specially in Lisbon) to have a much better breakfast for a lower price!

HOTEL ALVORADA

The check-in was quick, quiet and smooth. The front desk staff, sushi bar staff and cleaning staff were always friendly and helpful. The distance to shops, cash-point, the beach and train station is brilliant (maybe 5-10mins walk).

Just an EXCELLENT Hotel!

The only improvement needed is that the room could have a few more facilities such as a couple more plug sockets and the overall hotel could benefit from more restaurant options.

Slow wifi

On arrival at checkin we were advised the breakfast was included in our booking. Going to breakfast the next day we witnessed a very poor looking breakfast. Before we were seated we asked if the breakfast was included as advised the day before and was told no, it was €10 each. Seems like a scam to lure people into paying for a bad breakfast.

The worst part of the hotel was their advertising of rooms as having free wifi which was completely misleading as It was so slow most pages would not load and the few that did would take about 3 - 4 mins to load.

Both these issues left a bad impression on us.

Estoril itself is a very clean, attractive resort but it is very quiet with few cafes/bars and no entertainment. There are a couple of kiosks at the beach but we couldn't find a single shop! We invariably went to Cascais or Lisbon - helped by the incredibly good value train service.
