The room was an attic room without air conditioning. In the summer, it was very hot and couldn't be ventilated overnight. Since the accommodation is in the center, be prepared for potential noise. Unfortunately, we were unlucky, and a party was held under our windows until the morning.

Accommodation is located in the center, the room is nice and clean, and the bed is comfortable. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. I also rate the breakfast very highly. We really enjoyed our stay. In August, due to weather conditions (risk of fires), all landmarks were closed, so make sure to check their availability before your trip.

The breakfast was generally good… fruits were fresh, meat and cheese. Hard boiled eggs and scrambled were good. I asked for almond milk and they provided some, but they put out the same chocolate torte 4 days in a row… the cereal was a bit stale.

Small, clean- we had the whole place for the 8 of us. Location was very convenient…walked up to the Moorish palace and Pena park….walked to the Initian Well and park Setias (?)…

The hostess was amazing and so friendly. The accommodations were very clean and cozy. The breakfast was a full variety of lovely meats,fruits, cheese and breads and much more. The location is right in the ❤️ of everything Sintra. We would highly recommend it and we will be back.

We truly enjoyed our stay! The place is peaceful, charming, and beautifully designed with an authentic touch. The view from the balcony overlooking the city was stunning. We’ll never forget that night. Breakfast was fresh and varied — yogurt, fruit, eggs, ham, tea, and coffee. Perfect location, close to central Lisbon.

The only caution...you will need to climb stairs with your suitcase so don't bring a large or heavy one. My only recommendation to the place would be to add towel bars or hooks for the towels to dry outside of the shower. Also, there are no washcloths for your face...so bring one with you. An additional shelf or space for toiletries would be nice too.

I cannot express in words how much we loved staying at the Aguamel Sintra Bed & Breakfast. I required a king bed for me and my husband...we got a nice king that was super comfortable. We recommend the Orange Blossom room as it was 1 of 2 rooms that shared a balcony with breathtaking views of the countryside all the way to the ocean. The room was spacious with a wonderful bathroom. I was worried about not have air conditioning but it wasn't necessary in Sintra...the breezes were cool and perfect for night time sleeping. The location was unbeatable...in the heart of the historic area. In the middle of it all. The crowds of the day leave around 5pm and left us the only people in town...walking the streets with nobody around. And, we felt extremely safe...everyone was super friendly. It was totally quiet at night for a good rest. The breakfast spread was plentiful with many options for protein (hard boiled or scrambled eggs, deli meats, yogurt) with fruit, cereal and breads. The coffee was crazy delish and we actually bought the same one from a grocery store to bring home. We Highly recommend this accommodation, you won't be disappointed.

Nothing. Note : Walking from the train it is mainly up hill which was fine for us.

Absolutely loved the hotel and room.. It had a terrace with a view and a fire. Tea and coffee and cake were waiting for us on arrival. If you're arriving later in the day make sure you have the code to get in. Would definitely go back and for longer.

The Guesthouse was lovely and in a great location. The staff were welcoming, friendly and there to help when needed. Our room was charming! The breakfast had a variety of delicious items to choose from and was well presented. A wonderful stay!

Wifi wasn’t great and the room was a bit small with only one chair to sit except for the balcony.

The location was excellent, the breakfast was great, and the staff were so very friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed and a balcony overlooking the town with a view to the ocean. Sintra is a beautiful place to visit and I would recommend this hotel.

Great communication, follow up before we arrived, we felt so welcomed, the location is central to all the activities & restaurants, the breakfast is fantastic! Thank you!!!

Great place with very nice staff. The only issue was the parking, which isn't related with the guest house but with the town itself.

The coffee could have been better - investing in a coffee machine that makes fresh pod coffee would be a good investment.

A very comfortable room,with adjoining terrace. The cake on offer all day is a generous gesture. The manageress is helpful and very friendly and nice.

We weren’t so fond of the bathroom in the bedroom as this is not a separate bathroom so felt not very private when travelling with friends. The room was also in the attic space and got quite hot.

Lovely clean property, comfortable rooms, good location and easy to access.

Breakfast is usually served between 9-11am, and it is flexible to 8:30am on request, which worked out fine for me in the end. I think, ideally, it could start a bit earlier and finish earlier, but that’s a personal preference as I prefer to get up early. FYI, I managed to make the earliest (9:30 am) slot at Peña Palace by catching an Uber at 8:45am from outside the guesthouse - that was a tiny bit rushed for breakfast, but it all worked out. One small suggestion: a coat peg/s inside the door to the room would be great, in addition to the wardrobe. Another reading light would be useful, for any couples staying, and a light beside the chair would also be good.

The location is great - right in the heart of Sintra old town! It’s ideally located for bars and restaurants, with the bonus that it’s very close to the start of the Vila Sassetti walking route that takes you to Peña Palace, the Moorish castle, and more, should you wish to do so. I also had no problem taking the bus from right next to Aguamel one day, and a taxi pick-up on another occasion. The room was very clean, and pretty well equipped. Shower is very good, temperature and water pressure. It was also quiet - I heard no noise from bars etc, per another review. However, it is true that the floorboards are creaky, and you might hear other guests above if they come back late, but for me it wasn’t an issue. I enjoyed having the balcony - I stayed in one of the two rooms which share a balcony, but the tables are set quite far apart for some privacy. Even in January, it was possible to use it a little bit, and on a good day, it has a sea view. The breakfast is good - plenty of options. Do note, it isn’t a cooked breakfast, but there is cereal, fruit, yogurt, bread/croissants, cold meats and cheese, hard-boiled eggs, fruit juices, tea and coffee - a variety of foods to set you up for the day. The free cake and hot drinks were a nice touch - I made use of that in afternoons, coming back from walking a lot around the parks and palaces. The bed is very large! Everything was cosy, even in the January wind and rain.

Room was great, perfect location. We didn't get to enjoy the breakfast. Travel by Uber is best. We rented a car and it was tuff to find parking.
