Location: The place is located in walking distance to the old town of Sintra.
Public Transport: The Sintra train station with the train to Lisbon and a bus station with busses to Cascais, Estoril and Sintra are in walking distance.
Surroundings: A quite neighbourhood with some rooms for tourists, but not crowded at all.
Room: The beds in the room are short, only 1.80 meter long and not 2 meters long. The room is small. It is okay for one person for some days, but for two persons it might be better for a short stay only. The room is very quiet, very good to relax.
Keys: You will receive a room key, but not a door key. You only need to ring and the entrance door will be opened.
Building: The building has fire emergency lights for the night, like a hotel. The shared bathroom is with a window and the shower with warm water is working fine.
Washing: There is no washing machine available, but in Sintra is a self service for €5 per wash. On the premise are lines to dry clothes.
Suitable for: This place is suitable for discovering Sintra and occasional day trips to Lisbon, Estoril and Cascais. It is also very good for hiking and discovering the palaces of Sintra. The way to the Moorish Castle nearly starts at the door.
Communication: Ondina and Tufy are very communicative. I only practised my Portuguese, so I can not say much about the use of other languages there. If you need a good place to eat or something to visit, just ask.
Value for money: The location offers a higher quality than many rooms in old buildings in Lisbon and it is far more comfortable than a hostel. It is quieter than a hotel.
I stayed for one week and in general everything was fine. I will consider this place if I need another break for the city.
