Clean and safe- which are of primary importance to me. Beyond that it’s very basic and threadbare, a hostel-like feel.
Very loud! If someone talked, closed a door or used the bathroom you can hear it all. So sleep quality was poor.
I had a very late night checkin and they were so kind to check me in then (no self checkin) which I’m very grateful for!!
15-25 minutes walk from Sintra village. But good news is it made back and forth from the airport easy, since it wasn’t closer to the highway. $20-25 on an Uber, $40 on taxi.
Communication over messages was good before and after. During- not as much.
When I was there, it was difficult to navigate- there’s no labeling and no one showed me anything. I was there for 3 nights. I felt like I was bothering them with my maybe 2 questions - which as a host I know is never how it should be.
Overall, an okay stay.
