Amazonia Estoril Hotel

Big comfortable bed and room with wonderful view . Sumptuous decor.Location suited us with free parking .Quiet and well situated with use of lovely pool.

Shower trap was faulty or broken (no water seal )and was letting foul air into the bathroom. We sealed the top when not in use (plastic bag and weighted wet towel) but disappointingly no effective repair was made during period of stay. Due to late season the snacks and bar and restaurant were not operating but mini bar was good for keeping ‘shopped for’ items cold. Hotel needs some tlc over the quiet season to make it a really top place to stsy

The hotel is situated on the hill, you can see Estoril Casino from the balcony. It's very close to everything by car, we visited beach, park, we had dinner in Cascais every day and it would take 10 mins to get there. Jambo supermarket is also very close by car, about 5-7 mins. It will take some time from you to get there if you don't have a car. It will take for about 15 mins to get to the beach and train station by feet. The hotel was not very new, but spotlessly clean. They would clean our room every day, wash floor in the bathroom, and the room, they would make a perfect bed every day. We loved pillows very much, they were very comfortable, not small, very well formed. I only used one pillow, but in fact each person had two pillows on the bed, which was great. The breakfast was wonderful, 2 or 3 sorts of ham and cheese, different types of eggs, bread, vegetables, sweets, yogurts, coffee machine and everything you can imagine for breakfast. Breakfast room was spotlessly clean and the tables were white and clean. The pool was very cute, it was a good size for a hotel like that and it was deep. They also had sunbeds and umbrellas and cute extra towels for pool for free in the basket in front of pool. They also had small bar in there and some small tables around. We also had room with kitchenette which was clean and very useful, we had everything we needed for cooking and also had kettle, and we were able to iron our clothes, which was a sweet surprise. The air conditioning was good, which was important. We had Daikin in our room and the machine was situated in the balcony. The air was cold and fresh and the machine worked very smooth, it wasn't noisy at all. The hotel has 2 levels of parking, we used parking every day and it was very important that we didn't have to pay for it or walk very far to bring the bags.

There was only one thing we didn't like: when we came, the lady on the desk met us with a cold face. We asked to check our rooms before we bring bags in and she literally said in our faces: "And what do you want to check? The hotel is full, and you already paid for your stay. So what's the use in checking?" We travel around the world for more than 20 years and it was the very first time we heard anything like this told in our faces. Be careful with payment in this hotel, they may not give you any choice of rooms then. We still insisted on checking rooms and found out that the second room was very small and had a very small window. (The one you usually have in the bathroom). I don't hold anything again such rooms. Such rooms are usually cute and cozy. But they knew perfectly well that we wanted to stay for a week and still insisted on a room with a small window for us. We quickly remembered that we booked one room with kitchenette, and showed our booking. In the end we got a room with kitchenette, which obviously was bigger and more comfortable to stay in for 7 days. We are still thankful that we didn't have to ask for anything else from this hotel, cause the rest was fine.
