Arrived late at night and there was a musty smell, opened the window and went to sleep, next morning I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. It’s an amazing place and loved the pool, the building itself and the location. Having parking was appreciated and staff was really nice! Will return.

Bom dia, é a nossa 2ªexperiência neste hotel e sentimo-nos bem recebidas, bem acomodadas (somos 3, Avó, Mãe e Filha), os quartos são muito agradáveis, gostámos muito do quarto desta estadia (14/6 a 15/6) porque tinha uma varanda que dava para a rua com uma boa vista. Bom pequeno almoço, e todo staff com que nos cruzámos foi que uma competência e trato excepcionais. A relação custo qualidade está adequado. Voltaremos sempre que for necessário. Obrigada

Lovely ancient historical building. Everything very tasteful. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. There was a problem with my coffee machine and the lady and gentleman who came immediately were great. Breakfast was tasty with a wide choice of hot and cold items and I was able to eat it in the courtyard. Room was great with a large balcony overlooking the city walls. The lovely lady on reception allowed me to park my motorcycle in the secure locked courtyard overnight. Room was super too, with nice cold air conditioning even though it was 37C outside! Best of all were the super friendly helpful staff mentioned already plus the staff at breakfast.

Room spelled very musky. Staff was not very helpful. Poor communication. Breakfast was OK. But you could see they were running out of things. I really hate to write a bad review and I always give the benefit of the doubt and maybe they were just having a bad time except the room did smell bad. There was no hot water in the morning and when my wife tried to take a shower, she was never able to get the hot water working the night before. Location was great, but as for the rest, if you stay here in this town, don’t pick this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay in this quaint hotel located in a 1645 historic building - a former monestery and military hospital- within and part of the city walls. Our room with terrace overlooked the garden, swimming pool and the historic city walls as well as the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the sunsets there. This hotel is close to the city center, has free parking and breakfast was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved that they have several quiet reading/sitting areas. Prices are reasonable. We noticed that several rooms were getting updated. There is also a beautiful courtyard with orange trees. And the restaurant has a huge (cooking?) fireplace. This hotel is a great base to not only visit Elvas, but also Evora, Badajoz and Merida. We look forward to our next stay here

Hotel hori zaharra da eta behar du inbertsio haundi edo potente bat ipintzeko gaur egun hotelek eskatzen duten maila. Egia da prezioa (gosarik gabe) baixua dela, baina sartzen baduzu gero gosaria igotzen da dezente. Gelek (eta orokorki hotelak) dituzten altzariak zaharrak dira eta beharko lukete berrituak izan.
