Sintra 1012 Boutique Guest House

Best location in Sintra - less than 100 m for the Palace. We stayed here for 2 nights on our 2 week tour of Portugal. Charming guest house. We booked the suite with balcony which was a lovely large room, but we weren't able to use the balcony as it was a bit cold. Don't think the balcony ever gets the sun, but it would have been nice to bring breakfast there. Good breakfast, but the tables are pretty small.

Thank you Karen. A great one night stay and perfect Oasis. Lots of character in this spotless and charming little hotel. We were upgraded to a suite and enjoyed a delicious breakfast before heading out to see the sights. Karen was welcoming and helpful.

Incredible value. This location was perfect- close to all the castles, cafes and bars. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and the room was spotless. The interior of the Bed and Breakfast was classy, decorated with both mid-mod and vintage furnishings and art. The En Suite room was very spacious with plenty of seating and a coffee maker, great A/C and a bed that was so plush and comfortable. The breakfast had more options than expected and was delicious with hot eggs, cold cuts, pancakes and more! After a less pleasant stay at another property in Sintra, I highly recommend this place for your Sintra holiday.

Room was very quiet (apart from the man in the next room snoring very loudly) but room very basic with no plug for the bathroom sink and a weird white plastic plug for the bath which didn't work and let water out. There was no bedside table, no fridge, no bottles of drinking water or tea or coffee provided in the room..Room badly furnished - very grim and depressing. Bed was hard and could feel the springs. Pillows uncomfortable. Breakfast also very basic. Can't understand why this place has such good reviews. It's more like 2 stars rather than 3 stars. Cars and Ubers cannot drive here - only local taxis. Only a 3 hour window to check in 3-6pm so run more for the convenience of the owner rather than the guests.

This is a very nice place to stay. It's located right in the middle of the main attractions that most people want to visit. There's a lot to see in Sintra in just one day, so I highly recommend spending the night somewhere. Our room was spacious, with a nicely sized shower stocked with everything you might need, and a restroom featuring a charming historic sink. The owners are doing a great job preserving the character of the place while adding some modern touches. The building itself used to house workers from one of the nearby mansions, which adds to its charm. The owner is amazing and very welcoming.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The owner Karen is full of personality and runs a great B&B. First my flight was cancelled going to Portugal and she was kind enough to make the adjustment on the dates for me. Then the blackout happened and she went around with flashlights for all the people staying. The breakfast was amazing and the location perfect. And the studio was huge with a separate entrance. I would definitely stay there again.

Sintra 1012 Boutique Guest House was marvellous accomodation - biggest room we have ever had, close to Town Square and staff were ever so helpful & patient with non-Portugese speaking guests ! Highly recommended !

Sintra 1012 Boutique Guest House is such a Great place to stay! It has location, location, location! It has a Wonderful host (Karen) who makes you feel at home and wants to make your time in Sintra special by offering ideas and recommendations for a successful and pleasant stay. She is fluent in English and Portuguese and maybe even has another language. The breakfasts were really nice with good selections. We stayed in the family room which was spacious and perfect for getting over jet lag as our sleep patterns were different. Karen was able to organize taxis which was really helpful, too! We recommend this fine guesthouse!

Perfect location - a block or so from all the action of the historic district, but on a silent back street. Very comfortable room and a good breakfast included in the price.

We didn't stay over but popped in for breakfast. Everything was delicious and the conversation was so fun. It's wonderful to get an opportunity to chat with other travelers as you explore a cool place. If you get a chance, see if they can fit you in for breakfast. I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it.
