Nice Way Sintra Palace in Queluz

Nice and clean hostel with great communal area ( lining room and gardento meet people. Much less of a part hostel like their Cascais sister this is more laid back and quiet. Only point of focus would be some investment in their kitchen. Bit small and old for such a big hostel.

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, couldnt find hostel, because of our GPS didnt 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!

Great discovery, even being a Hostel the bead structure gives a lot of privacyI will definetaly come back if I return to Sintra.Also, the building its beautiful and in the middle of all the places to visit

Awesome vibes and super welcoming staff! Beautiful place, couldnt have asked for more

We had a fantastic stay at Nice Way Sintra Palace. Lovely people at a fantastic location. Its absolutely worth it to visit Sintra for more than just a day, stay at Nice Way and meet some new people.

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.

We wanted to stay for 3 days and ended up staying 8 days and I cannot tell whether it was due to the cozy & green garden, the relaxed & open vibe or the incredibly attentive & authentic staff that created such an unforgettable experience! Thank you for creating a space that is perfectly managed, relaxed and open-hearted at the same time!

Really nice hostel, short walk to basiclly anywhere in sintra. Which is nice so you don’t need a car :). People are all really nice and cheap drinks at the bar.

Nicest people in the world!!! Amazing, beautiful and really chill place. Thank you for everything

Such great and clean hostel. The staff is 5 stars

Fantastic stay and fantastic people. Defintly come back more long term. So beautiful!!

Definitely get your moneys worth at this hostel. Rooms are spacious and private despite sleeping 9. Facilities are clean. Breakfast is convenient, decent and cheap. Location is perfect if you want to get amongst Sintra. They also messaged me when I left my AirPods behind.

This place is wondeful! The staf is very welcoming! We got a lot of useful tips for visiting Sintra, including some dos and donts! We had a guided tour and it was very nice. The atmosphere and the other travellefs are very kind. The garden is nice and so is the bar 😀 (and cheap!!!). Clean rooms. Definitely would recommend!

A perfect stay in a magic place ! An astonishing moment, guided by wonderful hosts. Do not hesitate.

Wonderful place, a staff amazing that welcome you perfectly. The room are really good, clean with everything you need. That you for the moment!

Beautiful and lovely hostel !The staff is amazing!Dorms are clean and there is everything you need inside.Best hostel in Portugal !!See you soon guys

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!

Awesome staff and very nice beds. Highly recommend this place. WiFi could be better in the rooms, but staff are real good.

This place is definitelly the place to go! Nice and friendly staff, wonderfull clean rooms and bathrooms, cosy living room, good breakfast (vegan friendlyand a quiet luxuos garden perfect for a rest.Its very close from the city center (around 300 metersin a very quiet location.I highly recomend this place and I will definitelly come back!

Loved my stay in here ! Staff very helpful, great location and cute garden!

Loved the outdoor space! Friendly people and had an amazing tour of the palace area around it by a staff member and really enjoyed it!

Excellent hostel. Cosy, friendly staff and top location.

Great place to stay. Close to center. Good breakfast which can be enjoyed in a paradise garden. Very nice staff which keeps it very clean. The only blemish was the WiFi. Too many routers and none works consistently.

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

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!

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.

Wonderful staff that illuminates your day with positive vibes and energy. The garden is just perfect to relax in your own space or with everybody on a cool big table. Loved the room and had the best time there.

Friendly, warm, international set of staff who are extremely knowledgeable about Sintra and its 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!

Fantastic staff, amazing views from the rooms. Nice outside area with a hostel bar. People of all ages having a great time. Strongly recommend.

My experience at this hostel has been one of phenominal proportions. I feel welcomed by the staff all the time I was there. Often I ahd the chance to cook with other people making various dinners, desserts and other culinary curiosities. The house itself is interesting and teeming with history as is the surrounding area. There is an air of mystery here and all around Sintra and this is where you can come to really connect with people and nature. I would highly reccommend making a visit. The facilities are clean and the showers are nice, the breakfast has really good fresh baked bread and fresh fruit everyday!!

Great People! Great garden! Great place to chill! Away from the tourist mess but close enough to walk!!!!

Most of my experiences with other hostels is rude behavior and uncleanliness. The Nice Way Sintra staff was so inviting and welcoming the first moment I entered the door. This hostel is located in the historical center of this charming villa.My room smelled fresh and clean with an amazing view of the Moorish castle and of Quinta de Regaleira .I recommend this hostel to anyone who is visiting Sintra Portugal.Will come back again!Thank you Nice Way Sintra!

Amazingly located this hostel is quiet friendly and beautiful .beautiful Betty gave us yoga lesson in a morning , perfect stay . Thank you ladies ;)

Very nice place, clean, staff helping and friendly, kitchen at disposal and breakfast included

It is a nice place, with beautiful rooms. The bathrooms are shared which is less nice, but that is clear upfront. This fact does make a cold shower later in the morning quite likely. Nice staff relaxed place.

An horrible experience they dont talk Portuguese they dont talk clear English difficult comunication they run of reservations by phone and cant give me clear informations about their services . I have made a reservation but at the time of the check in and even before nobody picked up the phone result I was going to pass the night in the street because almost everything was full thank God one guy recommend me a hotel near by so unprofessional

Busy hostel with helpful staff ready to dish out tips of nearby trails, sights, hikes etc - free yoga &tea - obviously a major factor of hostels is the people passing through them but whoever is chief has created a lovely atmosphere; cosy living room, very nice garden with shelter and good kitchen too. Bit steep price (15€ a nightbut then people would probably say Im a cheap skate and the amenities are good.

The room was decorated nicely. Hallway and shared bathroom were smelly. Nice, friendly, clueless staff. Very simple breakfast - have no expectations :Likely to gather a cool hippie crowd.

Very nice place to stay, located in the centre of Sintra, great atmosphere, Staff very helpful and friendly. Wew spend two nights in family Jungle room and kids loved it. Highly recommending !

Booked a room with a private bath for a 2 night stay in Sintra. Hostel is just down the hill from the national palace, very centrally located. Keep in mind streets are steep and narrow, be prepared to have cars wizzing by as you walk. There is street parking near by, but it is limited. The room was clean and amenities what you expect from a hostel. Continental breakfast was included

I returned to this hostel after changing and going for a walk to being informed that i had been moved to another room. Initially, i wasnt too bothered, but he went on to tell me that he had gone into my locker and moved all my belongings (including my knickers i had placed on top to wash, humiliatingWhen i expressed my feelings about this it got quite aggressive and rude. Telling me to basically shut up. I have said one thing he doesnt need to hear anything else ?. When i explained that he had gone into my locked, private area and moved my private stuff without asking, he got more annoyed. Then went on to lie, saying he didnt do it, his Manager did, as she drove from home especially to do so. Apparently he forgot he told me she was away on holiday. The reason for moving me ? they had forgotten that a big group of people had booked and they couldnt fit them in. Another lie. If you want your privacy invaded, stay here.

Our Room was spacious and had a little balcony.There is a small free breakfast in the morning but we decided to have our own because it started too late for us.A drawback was the bathroom. It was cleaned only once in the whole week.

Great atmosphere. Really helpful staff. They really try their best for you to have the best experience in sintra. They are really friendly. Got to meet awesome people here, Portuguese and outsiders. The place itself is a very nice and cozy chalet with a cool garden to hang out and have lunch or dinner. They make these dinners for all guests to enjoy, plus free breakfast.

A charming and vibrant hostel with a great vibe and friendly staff. Although we stayed in a private room in a slightly dodgy apartment building a couple doors down, Id still recommend for a short stay.

Located in a scenic winding road, the hostelprovides a warm environment and EVEN an outdoor bar. I definitely recommend the hostel. Also, the printer is available for use (.20 euros per page printed)

Super relaxing and relaxed hostel. Nice staff. Its a bit of a hike from town up a hill but totally worth it.

Good facilities though the bunkbeds squeak way to much. Friendly staff. Good location.

NEGATIVE POINTS :isullen/moody German (perhaps she was just being German, Ive experienced this type of thing beforereceptionist - lacking any outward friendliness or interest in her job. Also without any real knowledge of the area - I.E. unable to give recommendations for restaurants. Perhaps she needs some traiing in customer service? Shed been there for 2 weeks, you do your research understand the area, or what are you doing working in that specific role. You should be a fountain of knowledge. I suggestion she undergo a reducation programme and visit all attractions in the area. She demonstrated a complete lack of interest of passion for either the region or the job.she was working in. Perhaps Im wrong, perhaps its because shes German, but her attitude was of relative disinterest or indifference.If shed puzzled or interested to know why I shld be writing such things perhaps she should review very carefully at least 6 Incidents that took place - re: her reaction to various situations etc.iiperhaps its a little unfair but another staff member -an American also seem to very little knowledge of the area and Im sorry to say had a very loud, intensely irritating New Yorker accent, which after a while is a bit tiresome...iiiDormitory rooms on 2nd floor are next to the bathroom - perhaps I was unlucky but my bed next to bathroom - sound insulation not so good, could hear everything.Ivbathroom on 1st floor is a not terribly good or professional conversion from a room that was not previously a bathroom. The showers and toilet cublicles are too small and rather basic ( especially for the number of people who could potentially use it)Vtotal public space in living room area is too small for total number of guests.Vithere seemed to be a number of young teenagers staying there because they were on internships at the nearby ritz-carlton - although cool, I objected to being woken up in early hours because theyd forgotten their key card , their whispering for long periods of time and smoking week on balcony which blew into room. They should be given a private room in which they can behave how they likeVIIbreakfast not great...POSITIVE POINTSIMarcelo very helpful2beautiful contemporary design of main public space and lovely kitchen3great garden4relaxing.5clean.6would recommend

Amazing funky hostel. Great staff, very friendly, and great facilities. Wonderful garden and common areas and great WiFi and breakfast! Will stay here again when I return to Sintra!

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.
