The building is excellent. The stay not great. I don't recommend an interior rooms as the temperature was out of our control(hot and stuffy). They kindly gave us a new room when asked. A 4 star rating is to high...ex. paper cups, no chairs on the terrace. Even with a language barrier, the staff could be more friendly.

Whenever we needed new towels, the housekeeping staff would drop everything to accommodate us immediately. They would even shorten their lunch hour to meet our needs. The housekeeping employees work hard, they provide high quality care and services, they are dedicated to their job, and they go above and beyond 100 percent. Thank you to Dalila, Monica, Teresa, and Vera for their professionalism, warm greetings and big smiles everyday.

Disliked: Staff & service

A cheap basic hotel in a good location.

The rooms were very basic not a bit like the one on the website. No bedside tables and nowhere to put things down as there was only one small table. There was only luke warm water to the sink and bath. When we arrived at reception we asked if the restaurant was open that evening and was told that it would be at 7.30pm. We arrived just after 8pm but there were no staff and we were told the bartender would be back in five minutes. 10 minutes later we found him but he said that there were no hot meals that evening and the restaurant was closed but he could make us a sandwich. Definitely Not 4 star.

Mixed feelings but overall disappointing

They did not provide us with the VIP treatment (welcome drinks) promised in my Hotels.com reservation. 3 euros for a beer at the hotel bar is crazy expensive for a small Portuguese town. On top of that, the two waiters were serving cocktails to themselves and drinking them in front of us. Surreal, I have never seen such thing in my life. I have been visiting hotels at least twice a month for business in more than 50 countries Hot water was not available in my room. Dinner was good at a decent price. The building is beautiful but should be taken care of better. Breakfast buffet is not a 4 star one. Far from it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Wonderful place - was an old convent then a military hospital. The building was constructed in the 1600's so it just radiates with character. We loved the worn marble stairs and the winding passage ways. It also has sitting areas throughout the hotel where you can sit and read or gather to talk or check emails. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed our stay a lot, had a great veiw and spacious room. Staff let us check in early and helped book a taxi into Spain. The breakfast was amazing. We were given 2 single beds instead of the requested double, and we unfortunately had very noisy guests opposite that kept us up late.

Hidden Gem

Amazing property, fantastic service, brilliant room. We had a room with a terrace in the second floor which was magical. Views of the fort from the balcony. Bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was top notch (except for the coffee machine although they made up for it with coffees delivered to the table) Hotel had secure parking behind a barrier. Can’t go wrong with a stay here.
