Decent hotel, overpriced food.

No real issues with the hotel other than very hard beds! Breakfast was decent. Had dinner there and it was rather overpriced for what it was. We assumed we would have the discounted rate as a hotel guest since we had automatically received that rate at the previous Inatel but discovered we did not qualify without some membership that was not offered or explained. $21 for a pretty simple biffet not including drinks was a bit high.

Very basic room

The hotel is a fading former grand hotel that is still fading away. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming. However this is definitely not a 3 star hotel. It's generally 1 star. No facilities in the room, no coffee/tea making or kettle, no fridge, no iron. Essentially just a bed, drawer and closet. Furthermore, the room was very small. My friend asked for red wine in the bar.... no wine available. However the room had a fabulous view of the rugged Portuguese landscape area. Breakfast was very very basic and didn't change for the 3 days we stayed at the hotel.

Comfortable hotel near Buçaco forest

The hotel is within 2 km of an entrance to the Buçaco walled national forest, while being inside the small town of Luso. The hotel is a very old large building, well maintained. It has the feeling of a residence more than that of a hotel. My room was quite comfortable, the buffet breakfast was excellent.

J'ai eu une chambre avec un petit lit au lieu d'un grand lit comme sur ma reservation avec des vieux sanitaires avec eau chaude fluctuante ( pas de mitigeur) donc pas simple pour regler les temparuture . Heureusement je suis adulte mais un enfant se brulerais . La 3 eme nuit jai demenage dans une plis grnade chambre avec 2 lits simple c'est deja plus confortable et des sanitaires neufs et une belle vue ca allait mieux vu le prix de la chambre (54€) Par contre mercredi au petit dejeuner fruits au sirop( poire) perime et piquant pas cool . La 1 ere nuit énormément de bruit entre 2h30 et 3h30, il y a un gardien normalement...
