easy walking distance, staff that you deal
with in high end hotel when checking in were great, but Casa do Orco is attached to hotel but I don’t think it’s there main priority, I.e. maintenance and cleanliness. The area is definitely quiet but then Sintra the town shuts down by 8 pm anyways
pictures I saw online were not what I got, first off I was checked into the wrong room, then moved and given a “big room “ which was fine but the furniture was old and dirty looking, the whole space just felt dirty and definitely needs some upgrades for the prices they’re charging. Been travelling for two months and I’ve stayed in better hostels

We only stayed one night but in terms of comfort it is excellent. The bed is super comfortable, the facilities are basic but if you only plan to stay for 2/3 days it's a 10/10.
They have a shower, ameneties, heating, a TV and the area where it is located is very quiet. We liked it a lot, especially the price-quality ratio is very, very good
Parking is very difficult to find but that's the case throughout the historic area of Sintra. They have 3 parking slots next to the hotel and that's it.

Great stay in a beautiful suite with views on Sintra forest. Though the suite finition may be a little dated, it is very comfortable, quiet and beautiful. Unfortunately wifi did not work but we did not mind at all as this was an opportunity to rest and refresh.
Staff is lovely and incredibly helpful. Thank you for everything.

Spacious suite room. Excellent location.

In the real heart of Sintra. Very beautiful building, very noble rooms and furniture. Service very friendly, and reception works 24/7.
The only thing that surprised us - very old towels and bed clothes. Everything is very clean, but even with holes... It was very sad, because all other things in apartment were perfect

Wi-Fi didn’t work. Small room that didn’t smell great.

Incredibly beautiful place, in the heart of Sintra, each suite is unique, we were lucky enough to get a massive one with four different views. Highly recommended!

Great location, romantic building on a hillside just on the edge town - couldn't have been better in that respect. We were give a 'suite' with a huge bedroom, a sitting room and a big bathroom. The front-desk staff were welcoming friendly and helpful.
The Casa Da Arco gave the general impression of being the somewhat forgotten and neglected part of the more expensive establishment next door (the hotel by which it is owned). Our room/s smelt damp/unused and throughout our mid-March stay remained somewhat cold, being heated by only a small 1kw/2kw electric heater. If left on, the bathroom electric fire started to smell which was a worry. The water from the taps was rusty brown when we first arrived. The bathroom sink was badly blocked with bits floating in the water. It got a little better after we reported it, but the hotel said that they needed to get a plumber in to unblock it properly - wish they could have done that before we arrived. The bed sheets seemed like they were probably at the end of their life and felt very old. When we pulled the duvet out of the wardrobe, It seemed like the duvet cover may not have been washed for some time. These issues plus other things like one of the wardrobe doors having fallen off and being leaned up against the wardrobe (I put it back without much trouble and it worked well-enough), the door knob falling off, no light bulb in the standard lamp, the curtain stay having fallen off the wall and lying on the floor all added to the rather room-that-time-forgot impression.
After reading other reviews, we thought that the breakfast next door might be a real treat. Sadly, it wasn't. It was acceptable, but to be honest nothing more than that - the least appetising that we had of the four places we stayed in.
Having said all that, it was a great location and we could have loved the sense of staying in a room of an old country house, but there were just too many things wrong. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay in Sintra and despite it all I (but not my other half) have nice memories of Casa da Arco.

The location is exceptional, 1 minute from the center of Sintra. The rooms themselves are quite old but well renovated.

location, staff, breakfast
The room. It was smelly, damp. Not really well cleaned either. The door was hard to lock, the shower door as well. The duvets were damp. It was cold in the room so we asked for additional heater which helped a bit. However, still got cold after a stay here. No hair dryer, asked for one in the reception - there were no available. In the morning the electricity went off but the staff member quickly solved the problem. All in all, the staff was very nice, polite and helpful (never had to contact the hotel 3 times for different reasons while staying just one night) but the room itself should not be put on booking, simply outdated, wet and left us with an extremely unpleasant experience.

Breakfast was amazing! Room was clean, large and nicely decorated. Great location just a short walk from the centre.
A kettle in the room or common area would be nice to make a hot drink on a cold night.
There is no heating in the room which is typical for the region, and it was rather cold so I couldn't sleep well (there was a small heater in the bathroom which I left on all night but it had little effect).

Fantastic location in the heart of Sintra, walking distance to most of the sightseeings, nice accommodation a la castle style, helpful staff
Strange way of ordering and serving breakfast. We understood that this was in connection with Covid measures but it resulted that the breakfast was a bit pure as the staff brought it and didn't appear anymore. We had a feeling they are afraid of us although we had to show our Covid passes. We visited further accommodations in Lisabon and on Algarve during the same week and the way of serving breakfast there was much more convenient there.

We got placed in a wonderful room in Lawrence’s Hotel just down the street of Casa do Arco. Due to covid we got our breakfast served in our room every morning which was perfect; really nice breakfast! All the staff of Lawrence’s Hotel were super kind and very helpful - thank you for speaking English. The first night when we arrived late they made reservations for us at a very nice restaurant in Sintra. We would definitely come back here if we visit Sintra again!

excellent breakfast, friendly staff. big rooms and good location.
staff is not so competent. they told us to park on the street, we asked them to confirm that we parked well, and the day after we got a fine. they sent us to a wrong address even to pay the fine...
complex to get there by car, even impossible is there is any cut road as it happened on the 2nd day.
