“Great value for money. Excel location”

Excellent location with good amenities. Very old building well updated. Good size beds, great mattress providing good night sleep. Very clean throughout. Staff were welcoming, polite and prompt. Didn't have time tp try the pool, maybe next time.

Secure cctv covered car park, which is barrier controlled and free to hotel users. Reception staff very friendly and accommodating, very good English spoken. Our room was very good, spacious with a large en suite. A fridge is in the room and a safe. Only criticism is the lack of sockets for electrical items near to the bed. Had to use a bathroom socket to charge my tablet, as the tv socket was being used to charge the phone. Having said that, the hotel is a few hundred years old with walls as thick as a cliff face, so accept some minor issues. The hotel was brilliant, well kept outside as well as inside. Fantastic views over the city and surrounding areas. Historically one of the best locations available in Elvas. Breakfast was good though the bacon and scrambled eggs were on the cold side. A great continental breakfast selection with yogurts and fresh fruit available also. Staff were without exception faultless. Always friendly polite and helpful. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will return.

A gem of a hotel situated in beautiful Elvas. The architecture is amazing and if you are lucky enough to stay in one of the balcony rooms the views are really something to enjoy. We had a very lovely continental breakfast which we were able to enjoy in their beautiful courtyard. The staff cant do enough for you. The only thing I would recommend is that a bottle of water is made available in the rooms, hence why I have only given them 4*.

“Happy!”

We stayed here in February for 5 days. Great location, everything in walking distance including historical attractions, Aldi grocery store (15 min walk), Lidl (10-minute walk), bus station (10-minute walk), Cafes, restaurants.

We stayed here in February for 5 days. Great location, everything in walking distance including historical attractions, Aldi grocery store (15 min walk), Lidl (10-minute walk), bus station (10-minute walk), Cafes, restaurants. The no-frills rooms have a certain charm you get when staying in a historical building. The room we stayed in is very large with a very large bathroom. Basic amenities were all we needed. Housekeeping did a very good job every day. Breakfast was very good: scrambled eggs, bacon, mini-sausages, pastries, croissants, really good fruit juice, cheese slices, ham slices, cereals, fresh fruit cups, yogurt, coffee, tea, etc... The breakfast staff was very much on top of things and kept everything running smoothly. Front desk staff very friendly and efficient. Wifi worked well. Again, this is a no-frills hotel but full of character and the feeling of taking a step back in time. And yes, the furniture is, in our opinion, reflective of taking that step back in time and period appropriate. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to pack some earplugs as there are some street sounds and potentially noisy guests in the hallways.
