Carcavelos Beach Hotel

If you’re looking for affordable, clean and very friendly service…this is your place.

Beach view was wonderful. Breakfast hadca nice variety and coffee was excellent. Staff was courteous and helpful. Rooms are not fancy but are nice and clean.

This hotel is undergoing upgrade and the completed areas look great. E. G. Breakfast room on 8th floor with great views of the beach. Reception and lobby bar all look good and nice new furniture. Disappointed that the bar wasn’t open so apart from breakfast there was no access to refreshments while sitting at the nice clean and comfortable pool area. Supermarket is a short walk to the riviera hotel centre to stock up on snacks and refreshments. The square behind the hotel has a lovely selection of cafes and the locals are there too. The underpass makes beach access easy as it’s opposite the hotel to the right. Beach is fabulous. Check which room you are allocated as the end rooms do not have a sea view. All had comfortable bed and plenty of storage. Super clean bathroom. We changed after one night and had to pay an extra 10euros per night. Definitely a convenient hotel for Lisbon, airport, Cascais and sintra. Local Ubers were great and train station was a short walk.

In need of some updates

The breakfast is great. Nice to start the day. View of the ocean and partial sunset is great. Would stay there again. Staff was very helpful and spoke English .

A Disappointing Stay in a Severely Outdated Hotel I typically try to find the positives in any place I stay, but unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was overwhelmingly negative. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this building—while historic at 108 years old—has not been maintained properly or updated in what feels like decades. The room had a strong, musty odor that never went away. The carpet was stained and reeked of mildew, and there was visible mold growing on the ceiling—a serious health concern. The air conditioning didn’t work, and with no proper ventilation, the room felt stuffy and uncomfortable at all times. Basic amenities were either broken or missing: the hairdryer was non-functional, the door lock was damaged, making it hard to feel safe, and the elevator was out of order, which meant lugging bags up several flights of stairs. The bathroom was rusty, outdated, and honestly felt unhygienic. The pool was dirty and uninviting, and clearly not maintained. Common areas felt neglected, and the entire building shows its age—badly. Old can be charming, but this place is simply falling apart. It needs a major, major renovation from top to bottom. Sadly, the photos online were misleading, and this was not the relaxing or comfortable stay I had hoped for. I would not recommend this hotel until significant improvements are made.

The hotel was a short walk from the beach, and has a lot of nearby restaurants to chose from. The room was clean and tidy. The breakfast was good. The swimming pool was great! I had a lovely relaxing time staying here.

This is a slightly dated hotel however the location is very good and is only a 5 minute walk to the beach. The entrance and main reception areas have been modernised but we had a room overlooking the rear of the hotel and it was in need of renovation and quite basic - definitely not a 4* hotel.

The Staff at the pool bar very kind: Martin, Patricia and Ines, are very nice person

Beautiful beach

We really enjoyed our stay. (Myself and two children, 14 & 19) We loved being able to walk to the beach or just lie out by the pool. The staff were super sweet and very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

It was on the beach

access to beach was great, breakfast was good, but no parking

Great locations. Dated

I did liked very much !

This lovely hotel is just minutes away from the beach and boasts a lovely pool. While the rooms could use an upgrade, a seaview room offers a great view. There’s a service by the pool, but the restaurant is unfortunately closed due to refurbishment. However, there are plenty of other places to eat nearby.

Brilliant staff, brilliant location but hotel is a little old and run down
