Nice Way Sintra Palace

Had a really good stay here. The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. We as guests had for example a nice meal in the evening cooked by the chef at a long table with some candles. The hostel and the garden are beautiful, clean and big and the breakfast was good as well. Only the shower was a little bit soft when I wanted to shower with warm water. Hopefully I will return to this hostel and I would really recommend this place to everyone!

Beautiful hostel inside an old Villa at a picturesque location. Hands down one of the top 5 places I have stayed at in my life so far. The place has a very welcoming and personal touch to it, and the staff were incredibly sweet and helpful. It makes a *huge* difference if someone personally shows you around, helps you carry your luggage and is in general enthusiastic about their time as a volunteer / intern during their time at the place as well (and even shows interest in you as a guest and fellow traveller). The breakfast is really nice, you can sit outside in the spacious yard and the kitchen is not only clean but also beautiful and has marble tables and original furniture. If I would be able to give this place 6/5 stars, I would!

We arrived to the Nice Way Sintra Palace excited about the place. An adorable palace! How cute! Although we made the reservation 4 months ago, when we arrived we were told that we would be staying in the "other building". The "other building" is two doors down in a 1970s - style building, which has no facilities and no vibes. It smells like must when you walk in the building and the room smells like someone is trying to cover the musty smell with a fake strawberry air freshener. We were super disappointed and felt that we had been cheated. There is NO MENTION of an annex until you get here. Make sure that your room is in the main building if you are like us and expecting an antiquated experience. As our time wore on though, we quite enjoyed this place. We met people at the main building, ate a couple of dinners there, and enjoyed €2 cocktails at their little bar. The staff made this experience really nice as well. They were actually the best part of our stay. The bathrooms could also have been better kept.

A Great place for a perfect stay in Sintra! The staff is really kind and efficient. Atmosphere is both friendly and quiet. Situation is nice to reach easily all the treasures of Sintra and all around. The Nice Way is definitely more than an hostal! I will go back with pleasure.

Very nice interior of the hostel. Thank you very much to the receptionist, the girl from Singapore. Very patient, pleasant and well mannered. We were stressed, couldn't find hostel, because of our GPS didn't work very well. We had to call several times to the hostel. Any time we called the receptionist was in a good mood, trying to help us. Thank you!

Stayed for 2 weeks. Rooms were large, bright, and clean. Large garden, with campfire. Lounge was very social and well decorated. Bathrooms did not match the quality, were poorly constructed cubicles. Cornflakes and toast for breakfast. Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about local area. Location is perfect, in the centre of the attractions.

This has been my favorite hostel experience. Staff was incredibly friendly, free breakfast, "family" dinners, walking tours, and an amazing wealth of knowledge about the area. They are located just down the street from the main center. As soon as we arrived we felt at home. Huge backyard area perfect for relaxing in, having drinks and getting to know fellow travelers (cheap drinks at the bar too). Abundant relaxation areas. We were legitimately sad to leave this place. Highly recommend

Friendly, warm, international set of staff who are extremely knowledgeable about Sintra and it's history - they run free walking tours for guests at 10am most days. I stayed in a private room next to the main building, which was quiet and quaintly decorated, with a shared bathroom. We were traveling on bikes and there was ample storage space for these. There were so many highlights of this stay, including a good breakfast of fresh bread, cheese and coffee, proximity to the main square, and a nice outdoor area with beautiful flowers and a bar. The greatest experience for me personally was joining the al fresco dinner that was hosted on the first night. For 12 euros a head they provided a three course meal with wine and port, a great introduction to Portuguese cuisine. If you have the opportunity to go to this dinner, do it!
