There is no doubt this is a wonderful location and magnificent Building, sadly the standards are far from first class. The rooms have a 50's decor and a tiny tv. There is a feeling that the establishment is being run on a skeleton staff. In the standard rooms the hall way is dark and un appealing. I ordered a couple... More

Not many places in the world can equal this beautiful gorgeous old hotel. Stay here for a night, if only to experience the grandeur & glamour of another era. Ok, so the rooms & some of the areas need a little love & updating, but take that in stride when you stay. We had a huge room overlooking the gardens... More

Everything other reviewers say is true: this is an incredible piece of architecture in a beautiful forest setting and a special place to stay.

Very good everything. The rooms are beautiful and the staff is kind. The nature is also very beautiful and all is very peaceful. This is a great place to come to relax and forget about the hectic eveyday world.

We stayed in Busaco Palace Hotel one night on our way from Coimbra to Porto. Amazing experience have to say. The atmosphere of the Palace was something I will never forget. Very good service. The forest and gardens around the palace make great options for shorther and longer walks. Although the room we stayed was below the standarts of 5... More

Stayed here for two nights with my wife during our recent two week visit to Portugal and do not regret it for a minute. Let me start with the positives......staff was wonderful - professional, attentive, and courteous; the atmosphere was magnificent - hard to match the history and ambience of the property and surrounding grounds; restaurant was everything it's cracked...
