Pousada in Queluz
Pousada in Queluz - Hotel Dona Maria I
The Pousada in Queluz - Lisbon, D. Maria I, is a historic luxury hotel located in the building formerly used by the Royal Guard of the Court in the Palace of Queluz, known as the Portuguese Versailles.
Besides the palace, there are in Queluz some other interesting places that can have the attention of the first visitors, as some megalithic monuments (about 2500 bC) and some buildings from the 14th, 17th and 18th centuries. Around the old nucleus of the city started to appear some villas and houses that used to be summer houses in the beginner of this century.
The Pousada hotel privileged location, about 5 km from Lisbon, 14 km from Sintra and 20 km from Cascais, the attractive interior design and exacting recuperation of its little private “theatre”, combines with the exquisite cuisine of the Cozinha Velha Restaurant.
This is a great place and across the street is a wonderful palace with gardens worth seeing. I felt like Alice in Wonderland in the gardens searching out the Cheshire cat. The help is gracious, especially in reception, Diogo, to be exact, couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms are quite charming and easy to live in. The breakfast is good and it’s a 15 minute walk to subway. Easy to get to Sintra from here which is very worth seeing. Booking is easy and the prices very fair. A good alternative to mid-city staying.
Excellent hotel and really good value. Breakfast was good and the staff were welcomming & polite Room very good clean & well appointed, Whilsr there we used the train to visit Lisbon & Sintra.
The Pousada at Queluz is delightful, fascinating and atmospheric and is also well situated for visiting Sintra and Lisbon. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food very good and our room comfortable. Highly recommended.
We stayed at all the Pousadas we booked through you and had a lovely
time in all of them. the service was good, staff very friendly and
helpful and the settings all so beautiful in their own way. We had a
delightful holiday, thank you for all your help. Booking through you
and via the internet was so easy.
It’s very easy to get into Lisbon from Queluz (short walk to the train station, and a 20 minute ride to the center of town). For that reason alone, I recommend this pousada. The hotel itself was also nice, the staff polite, and the rooms very comfortable.
Reception staff was extremely helpful. We had a corner room and enjoyed it very much though parts of the walls behind curtains have mold. The pousada is situated in a very convenient location, to Lisbon, Sintra and Obidos. We enjoyed our experiences at all three pousada’s we stayed and will recommend them to friends.
Convenient location to Lisbon and Sintra. We enjoyed the room (the largest of the three pousadas we visited) and the view of the palace from our room was great. Helpful and attentive staff.
Hotel was wonderful, the room was very comfortable. However the restaurant was the worst meal we had on our stay in Portugal. In fact we could not finish it. That apart the pousada in Queluz was very welcoming and we did enjoy our stay.
Reception and attention very good. Lights in corridor not working and the wooden floor in the bedroom entrance worn and broken. I reported these matters on departure. Someone should ‘walk the job’
That said we did enjoy our stay and the hotel is well placed and value for money.
