Evora Hotel
4/551 Reviews
I am very disappointed. This hotel is not designed for couples and families but for mass tourist transit, and it is not all clean or welcoming. Our first night had five busloads of tourists, and everything was designed for quantity rather than quality. The coffee at breakfast could be better, a very bottom-range robusta bean. I had to order a pay-for coffee from the bar, which was only marginally better as I could not stand the bitterness of the breakfast coffee. The buffet breakfast is unappetising, the pancakes dry, the butter still frozen, little choice, etc. As for the rooms. There is no hot water jug nor spoon for me to prepare my carioca de lemaõ, which I drink for my health. Only water bottles were available at a hefty price. The beds were made the Asian way: no upper sheet, just a very thin duvet with a cover and while it is acceptable to some, it was a novelty to me. There were hygiene issues; the dispensers of hand sanitiser were all empty. The sauna and indoor pool shower areas stank of urine. (the hotel reception told us it was probably a faulty canalisation… but the toilets are a floor below the sauna, and maintenance should have closed the area for repairs!!!) The jacuzzi had vert de gris algae growth over its vents, people were wearing outdoor shoes around the indoor pool area, judging from looking at the dirt on the ground tiles, and no one supervised guests for safety or hygiene. It was so dirty. After that, I did not enter the pool for fear of catching something. It was a very frustrating experience, considering I chose to stay in that hotel for its indoor pool and sauna. Having worked and stayed in hotels worldwide, I thought I knew well what quality standard to expect from a 4-star hotel!!!!! I am fast revising my beliefs and expectations downward, as far as Evora Hotel is concerned!!!
Heaven Inn Suites & Terrace
4.6/514 Reviews
Our second stay in the en-suite room and, if possible, even more relaxing than the first time. The staff were superb, attentive and generous and the room was immaculate and peaceful. The breakfast is simple but enough to start the day for us. We went back because we wanted a few days of peace and quiet in a comfortable setting and that is exactly what we got. We said we would stay there again last time - and we have and will do again in the future.
Vila Gale Evora
4.2/541 Reviews
What I liked: 1. When I first walked in … my impression was ‘Wow’. A sleek and modern lobby and a open concept restaurant really made the place look amazing. 2. While I didn’t use the pools. There were a lot of choices. I think there were 4 pools and they all looked nice. 3. The included dinner at the hotel restaurant with my Globus tour was more the same type of meal I could get in North America. I generally want to try the local cuisine. However, there was a lot of choice with the buffet and a very pleasant experience. The breakfast the next morning also had a lot of variety 4. The rooms were clean and modern What could be improved/didn’t like: 1. The check-in at this hotel needs a lot of work, especially when dealing with bus tours. However, I think a lot of their business are bus tours since I noticed a very large parking lot with several buses next door. We went to our room and discovered it didn’t have two twin beds. This was a communication problem with Globus and spoke to our tour guide after this issue. We phoned reception and told them the situation. We asked for someone to come to the room because it seemed to be a long walk to get back to reception. After about 10 minutes, someone arrived from reception and walked us to the new room. We weren’t too thrilled since it was directly in front of this “wall of heat’ that we passed by when getting off the elevator. The new room also had a lousy view compared to the first one that overlooked the pool. We specifically asked the reception person to make sure that are luggage comes to the new room. She told us not to worry, but sometimes it takes a bit of time. We waited for more than 40 minutes and then thought – maybe they sent our luggage to the old room. I went back and it wasn’t there. We called reception and finally got our luggage more than an hour after checking in. This time there was somewhat of an apology since it was the same reception person who said it would be sent to the new room. She admitted that she forgot, and we respected her honesty. Originally, she seemed annoyed when taking us to the new room and only seemed concerned about whether we used the washroom in the old room. When we met people from the tour and told them about the situation, they said there is a ton of luggage in a small back room that hasn’t been delivered. This lack of organization and efficiency took one hour of out of our vacation time. 2. The front of the hotel is glass and looks very modern. But when you pass by the corridors that are in the front of the hotel facing the street versus the back facing the pool – the temperature is so hot it is noticeable. I think the hotel tried to put some type of additional wall to block the heat. However, it isn’t enough and there needs to be more air conditioning in the corridors to keep the place at a proper temperature.
Hotel Dom Fernando
4/539 Reviews
The hotel Dom Fernando is very good location and just few minutes to Cathedral and Romans temple. Al monuments are close to hotel. The train station and bus terminal all reach by foot within 10 minutes. The room is big and breakfast is delicious. The hotel there is nice swim pool and Bar. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. It is best choice if you visit Evora unesco city.
Stay Hotel Evora Centro
3.9/547 Reviews
We’ve been travelling for five weeks in Spain and Portugal and this is the first hotel we haven’t loved. The location is good…we walked to and from the bus station. Breakfast was really delicious but it was 8.5 Euros each on top of room in most other Portugal hotels, we’ve had breakfast included for similar price. We just didn’t love our room. I think maybe it hadn’t been upgraded yet. Even with air conditioner on the whole time, it only got down to 24 degrees. For us, the mattresses on top of the bed frames kept sliding off and pillows were really big & uncomfy. Also, it was 40 degrees there and there was no ice in the hotel no fridge in our room to cool down our water bottles. We ended up buying water in plastic bottles which we hate doing.
Pousada Convento de Evora – Historic Hotel
4.3/562 Reviews
This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It is very tasteful in a historic building (the monastery). The biggest achievement of this trip to Portugal was the discovery of the Pousada series. On the first day of the 1800 room, there are two small living rooms and a small garden at the entrance. Breakfast is very good, just coffee is almost, but you can order espresso. I didn't feel far from the train. I walked over, and I was a little tired on the way. When I took a taxi, I went to the bus station. It was ten minutes, five euros.
