Hotels Near Cruzeiro da Atalaia in Montijo

Breathtaking location with magnificent views of the Setubal peninsula. One of the best Pousadas of Portugal. A ”must-stay”. Very professional service and superb service. Great room at moderate price. Excellent breakfast.

It’s been a long time since I was last in a youth hostel, and as a now 45 year old man there is probably a reason for this. Arriving late on the Tuesday night with fond memories of dorm parties and tequila slammers, I was greeted by what I initially thought was captain Jack Sparrow, but who actually transpired to be a very friendly chap who helped us to navigate the intricacies of the main entrance. Door buzzed, suitcases lifted up the stairs and ugh who let mum and dad in looks absorbed, we were handed our keys by a lovely member of the team alongside vouchers for two free shots. Enthusiastically we were informed that the bar was open until 1am that night, although we had missed the pub crawl for the evening. I’m flattered I guess, however we decided to give the shots a miss in favour of a nice sleep. Yup, Father Time catches up with us all… We had a private double with a shared bathroom, and although very small it was comfortable enough. The pillow has perhaps seen better days, but the A/C was a life saver! Spending the days walking around town and doing some gentle exploring, the nights were largely spent for myself at least in the bar area downstairs. It’s a small but perfectly functional area, and in all honesty wasn’t the screaming mess of teenagers away from home for the first time that I had been expecting. At 3 euros a pint I was certainly very happy to sit and read whilst various cool young things did their thing in the background. Declining participation in the pub crawl for a second time, I was tempted with the tapas tasting but plans for the night changed due to friends arriving a day early and diner reservations being made. From a comfort point of view, our bathroom was shared between three double rooms I believe on the third floor, and this was never an issue. I attribute this to the fact that we were likely on very different schedules with us going out for the day and back for the night, as opposed to the perhaps more night based activities of our fellow residents. Bedroom like I said small, but hey, who cares, we weren’t here to sit in a room all day. The breakfast was absolutely fine, and for 5 euros a day you really cannot complain. All in all very happy with my stay, though peeking into an open dorm room one day my god I wouldn’t have survived the week unless you could take 25 years off me! Good job though overall Sant Jordi, and I’d certainly consider staying again - safe, friendly and somewhere I’m sure 20 year old me would have had a blast!

Excellent value for money: wonderful staff very helpful, good location near metro station Arroios which takes you within 5 min to the center. WIFI OK, bathroom very convenient, quiet at night ... There are 2 supermarkets near the hotel, a coffee shop with Portuguese specialties and opposite to the hotel, an excellent Portuguese cuisine restaurant called Portugal. Around 7 minutes far by food, there is an amazing small Italian restaurant called El Giardenitto, tasty to the max... try the Risotto.

The hostel's name says it all - this hostel is ideally located in the heart of Lisbon within walking distance of most of the major monuments the city has to offer. My girlfriend and I allocated 2 days to Lisbon and 1 to Sintra and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in one of the 8-bed dorms. The rooms and amenities of this hostel exceeded our expectations as our 1st foray into hostel traveling. The staff were extremely kind as well and were helpful in helping us plan an early morning (4 am) transport to the airport. There were a few small details we wish we could change. For one, we had a bit of bad luck in that one of our roommates was sick and spent most of the night coughing relentlessly keeping most members of our room awake. Additionally, despite meeting many friendly faces, the hostel did not feel as openly social as other hostels we stayed our throughout our two week Europe trip

The location was great. CP and metro stations are close by. It was easy to go sightseeing. I was a little worried after reading previous comments, but I was right to choose this hotel for its price and accessibility. There was a large sign, so it was easy to find. The room did not have a toilet, but it did have a simple shower and sink. It's true that the furniture was old, the base of the sink faucet and the base of the shower were wobbly, and the blinds were always down because the neighbors were nearby, but it was well-cleaned. I stayed for two nights, and it was fine for me. It's in the downtown area, so I was able to walk around safely at night. If you're mainly going for sightseeing and just want to sleep at night, I recommend this hotel for its excellent value for money location.

Me and my partner booked the hotel for 6 nights. I had to lengthen our stay which was no problem with the hotel staff and they were very helpful and kind. Our room didn’t have the greatest view as it was directly across a Toyota dealership however we weren’t overly bothered about it. The room was very clean and so was the toilet, they provide a small fridge and a cupboard with a safe to place belongings. Our bed was very comfortable and served us well. They also offered free drinks downstairs in the hot drinks machines. They offended parking for cars and optional room cleaning service daily. The hotel is roughly 5 minutes driving away from the airport. Overall we had a great stay at the hotel ! The only problem we encountered which is the reason for 4 stars is that our toilet shower had an annoying problem with the temperature, it would go from warm to really cold and then proceed to really hot. Apart from that we had a great stay and we would recommend the hotel!

On arrival we realised the place was a hostel as well as a hotel, which wasn't clear when we booked through Secret Escapes. The reception area was chaotic as it seemed everyone checked in at the same time. There were 2 young women on duty, who were perfectly pleasant but not very efficient. To get to our room we had to go back outside, as the hostel is in the main part of the building. The front door is very heavy and slams if you don't grab it before it closes - this was an issue through the night as pretty much everyone let it slam. As our room was directly above it, we were wakened on a number of occasions. It may be an idea to put a notice on it to let guests know. We were disappointed with our room. We expected it to be quirky, which was why we booked it, but the furniture could do with being better. Our wardrobe screeched every time we opened the doors. Saying that, the room was very clean and the bed exceptionally comfortable. The shower is outstanding and there was always hot water available. The room was cleaned each day we were there and fresh water left for us. The television didn't work when we turned it on, so my husband went to reception to ask for help with it. They never came. We asked a further twice and no one turned up. The hotel is in a beautiful location with fantastic views across the city. There is a lovely plaza just across the road and there were various types of musicians there every day and also a café, under an awning if you wanted to sit and have a drink and a pastry. As in previous reviews, our room was at the front of the hotel and the traffic is non stop 24/7, as you'd expect in a busy city. The windows kept out a lot of the noise but the room was very hot at times so we couldn't have the windows open. There were no instructions on how to work the heater in the room, or to tell us about wi-fi or even recommendations for what to see, where to eat and transport. That would have been helpful. The wi-fi is woefully inadequate in the side where the hotel is; it may be better in the hostel side. The password is only available in reception. Breakfast was adequate. There is a buffet which was replenished regularly but if you want a hot breakfast, the choice was pretty much eggs or pancakes. On the first morning we were pretty much ignored; there were 2 young women but they never approached us to tell us how things worked. The rest of the stay was better as there was a lovely lady there who was efficient and made things run smoothly. It made us smile to hear her sing her way through breakfast and engage with the guests. There is a rooftop restaurant that only caters for private functions and it is above the rooms in the hotel side, with access through the same front door. There was a function on one of our nights and the noise was ridiculous until 2 in the morning. The front doors were wide open and there was a constant stream of people up and down the stairs, past our room. There is a piano in the lobby

I was extremely lucky to have noticed the sign for this amazing property on a late evening walk along the famous Avenida da Liberdade. I went up to ask if there was a single room for my last night in Lisbon two weeks later, before flying home. The two gentleman at the reception even offered to show me a room, and I booked through the hotel website. Best idea I had in a very long time. During my 24-hour stay, I dealt mostly with Bruno, but also occasionally with Victor; both were extremely gracious and helpful, as was the rest of the staff. On top of it all, the rate is, to say the least, very reasonable, and breakfast is included. I have recommended this exceptional property to everyone I know. A real gem.

We got a private room there cause we wanted our own space. Looked decent in the photos. When we arrived the room was quite dirty. Dirt on the walls, toothpaste around the sink and the towels we got had brown stains in it. We did not experience the privateness of our room because the bedroom door has a 2cm gap underneath it so all the stamps on the wooden floor and all the people coming and going (which was alot) along with the maintenace room next door felt like they were in our room. Alot of other smaller things like malfunction noises in the ventilation and very poor quality in the bed. “Breakfast included” was white bread, jam and coffee. BIGGEST PROBLEM is that the bathroom has alot of black mold in it. For example all around the shower and the shower glass and around the sink. After two nights we contacted the staff and told them about all these things listed above and we wanted to move out of that room and go somewhere else. So they told us that I had to send an email which would be forwarded to their supervisor, which I did. I checked upon them multiple times with calls, emails and direct conversation. Their supervisor, who was not there, would contact me which he never did. I am well aware this is not a 5 star accomodation but this is not ok in any accomodation that you pay for. I’ve been all around the world staying in allkinds of accomodations but this was my worst experience. Not only because of the room situation but because of the staffmembers who didnt even try to make things better by for example clean the room, offer us new towels offer us new bedroom. We paid 156€/night there. When the client points out things that are poor and could easily be fixed, just fix it and at least try to make them happy. WOT Lisbon Patio … Do better !

The good: Overall it was a good experience. My wife and I stayed there for 4 nights on a business trip. The hotel looks very good well kept, the room was very clean. We could tell that everyday the cleaning staff cleansed the whole bathroom. Fresh water in the room everyday, for free. Nothing to point out about the staff, they were quite nice. Really a 4-star hotel. The bad: We only had breakfast included because we had to spend the whole day away working. We got to the restaurant very early, about 7h30 am and the place was absolutely crowded with a large group (we could tell it was a group because they were all asian). Next day we had to sit outside for breakfast for the same reason (there are heaters on the terrace but they are not sufficient). We only had dinner in the restaurant once. It's either burguers or the HEALTHY Food&Beverage options. We ordered BOWL DA ESTAÇÃO and SALMON POKE. It was nothing special and quite expensive. On the last night at late hours, the room next door decided to have a party with loud music, loud talking and slamming doors. We called reception and they promptly intervened. (I think it should be a general policy in alls hotels to separate ”business” and ”vacation” guests.)
