Charming old world hotel, with a wonderful staff. We enjoyed three quiet nights at this establishment at the end of a 13 day trip to Spain and Portugal, and would highly recommend this hotel. Sintra is particularily enjoyable in the evening when all of the "day trippers" have returned to Lisboa, and one can wander through the tiny, curvy streets.... More

We stayed here in April 2013. The location is excellent. Just out of the hustle and bustle of central Sintra but an easy 5 minute walk. The rooms each have a small balcony and have a leafy outlook. The atmosphere is lovely, romantic. The rooms were a good size, bed etc was comfortable. Very quiet. Staff at front desk were... More

We actually stayed here in November 2011. The atmosphere was certainly quaint, historic and romantic. The wood burning fireplace with tea and wine service was ideal for the chilly evenings. The breakfast was fantastic. However, we would not stay here again because we did not enjoy the most important part of any hotel stay: our sleep. The bed was really... More

Stayed with wife over a 3-night period. Although originally planned to spend more time in hotel to enjoy the fireplace and other nice features/appeals, ended up going out more often, as hotel experience wasn't up to expectations. It is a pity, since hotel itself has good potential, but details have been overlooked. Loads of tradition and history (Lord Byron, oldest... More

Lawrence’s Hotel – http://www.sintra-lawrenceshotel.com/ -- is located in Sintra, Portugal, and according to the proprietors is the oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsula. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and makes recommendations of things to see and do with your pleasure in mind, rather than some other purpose. The breakfast buffet is varied and delicious, and includes (among other... More

There are lots of super hotels in Sintra but now that we've stayed at Lawrence's we won't stay anywhere else. It feels less like a hotel and more like your own holiday mansion with a full staff ready to accommodate you. A very calm ambience. We had a suite which was wonderful - and the bathroom had a jacuzzi bath.... More

Following my partner's business trip to Lisbon, we booked Lawrence's hotel thinking it would be the perfect antidote to the city - and just what we needed for a romantic weekend away. If first impressions count, my heart sank when the taxi drew up outside a somewhat tired and shabby looking hotel. However, the welcome we received from the reception... More

The low sober façade on the street seemed promising, Lord Byron himself having patronized the premises sounded like good omen. The restaurant was empty (Sunday lunch on a dripping afternoon) which converged on us the abiding attention of at least four idle waiters. The recommended daily special was pigeon pie with peas and potatoes duchesse served with pomp and circumstance.... More

We arrived in Lisboa and went directly to this hotel and were shown to our spotless rooms, we had requested a view and were impressed with our rooms. We were traveling with our 2 adult kids, 1 who picked up the flu. I was so impressed with the care the staff took to ensure our daughter was looked after, bringing... More
