My wife and I have just returned from a week`s break at the Vasco De Gama Hotel and have to say that the standards of service provided by the staff and hotel varied greatly . The restaurant staff were to a man seemingly unwilling to lift dirty plates from occupied tables resulting in the precarious practice of plate stacking. The... more

We stayed here for a fortnight in August -07 as part of a packagetrip. We were very pleased with our room, although it was "shabbyish" it was obviously one of the renovated rooms in the hotel.

We were informed that many celebrities had stayed there in the past, but I doubt that any changes had been made in many years or that any celebrity had been near the place in years!!! The bedroom had antiquaited furniture and a disgusting smell of previous smokers who had resided therein.... more
