This is a beautiful place to stay if you’re planning a trip to Sintra. Our room was beautiful and thé service impeccable! I would highly recommend it!
Sophie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great place, but very noisy. If you are partying until late it's great and close to everything, but if you have an early flight or want a good sleep on a Friday or Saturday night, look elsewhere.
Luis, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel. The staff was kind and helpful, especially Bonnie who kept our room spotless…anything we needed they provided. It’s not a modern property but we preferred the roominess of having 2 bedrooms and close to many restaurants. There is a great little coffee shop next door with delicious pastries we went to every day!
Karen, 5-night trip

The facility is a group of apartments located around a central garden. So relaxing! The staff is precious. The office manager is a wonderful person who cares for each guest as if they were family. I would repeat the stay!

False advertising!

The housekeeper was the only redeeming quality of this hotel. When I booked, I only wanted to look at hotels with air-conditioning. This hotel said it had air conditioning, but when I checked in, I had a fan. I found out only one unit actually has air conditioning and the rest don’t. Also, the armoire in the bedroom smelled like mildew as did the bathroom. Too many red flags with this place.

We had a lovely stay. The owner was wonderful, cooked us an amazing breakfast, and gave great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Highly recommend!

Stay at storytellers while in Sintra

Very cozy, hosts serve a wonderful breakfast and make sure you have everything you need!
Sarah, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Pros: Well designed, comfy rooms; rather than a kitchenette, a nearly complete kitchen; great house keeper; convenient location; easy parking. Cons: Lousy back office. Before I even arrived, I received a weird request from the Storytellers through Hotels.com to pay an additional 176 euros. I was fully paid and ignored it, nothing more was said of it, but in view of what came later it deserves mention. At the end of the stay, the management hit me up for an extra 20 euros for using the sofa bed. Mind you, I booked for myself and my son, so obviously we would use the extra bed. I had to ask for bedding on arrival and nothing was said until the end. So that was both surprise/hidden billing as well as nickel and diming, because I've never been charged for using a sofa bed before. Not anywhere. Although they honored my VIP-Platinum status for early check in, I was also supposed to get a bottle of wine because of VIP and that wasn't there. The kindest way to describe it is the back office/management is confused; the unkind way you can probably guess, but I will leave that unsaid.
