Hotel berhampiran Évora de Alcobaça Church, Évora de Alcobaça

Our experience was absolutely phenomenal. We were greeted by Maria as soon as we parked our car ( yes! parking is on the property, easy and free). Maria is a wonderful host and very charming person. She is local and knows bests in and out for the tourists in the area. The building has an elevator, big plus. Our room was impeccably clean and we had a good rest before departing to the next stop. Breakfast is very good, served downstairs and everything is fresh and tasty. The hotel is a very nice remodeled Chalet. We loved absolutely everything: the location, our room, small garden, breakfast and, of course, Maria. Maria called and scheduled next morning massage with a very talented professional . My legs were very tired after trip to Sintra and I was back to normal after an hour of the massage. We are going back to Alcobaca and Maria's Chalet on our next trip to Portugal. There is more to explore in the area!

Let me say the hotel does what it says. Apart from a few minor things it's a lovely hotel. But this review is entirely based on my opinion. Hubby has wanted to stay here since it opened a year or so ago. It's 20 minutes from home. We can't normally stay away at the moment for personal reasons but a friend stepped in and covered for us as it was OHs 60th birthday. On line the place really didn't appeal to me. The hotel looked stark and empty, the rooms underwhelming. And that's how it is. I paid to upgrade to a Premier room. I still am unaware what the difference is from standard. We got some sliced fruit and a nice bottle of sparkly. For the Premier room or for hubby's birthday? We had no clue. The hotel is VAST, huge corridors. There is not one piece of artwork in the entire place. I absolutely understand they are trying to keep the integrity of the building but it's so echoey some art or furnishings would help. To avoid touching the building, toilets, showers, treatment rooms and Turkish bath (out of order) are simply pods. Which give the place a temporary feel. ******* incude the shower flooding the bathroom and the hairdryer only works if you're under 5ft tall! For a 5* restaurant the foods was nicely cooked and nicely presented. No flair and certainly not memorable. If you stay here be aware you are within a 5 minute walk from two much better, much cheaper restaurants, Pratu's and Antonio Padeira's. Breakfast was OK. Again nothing amazing. The orange juice probably wasn't fresh, which is a travesty in Portugal. If it was it was watered down. The pool was simply gorgeous. Not deep, but really beautifully built around the original pillars. The staff are great and very attentive. We had a nice night away - it rarely happens at the moment. If you want a historic hotel slap bang in the middle of Alcobaca, you really can't go wrong. But eat out. It simply wasn't for me.

Stayed here for one night while taking in the area surrounding Batalha / Alcobaça / Nazaré and found this to be the perfect place to rest our head for the night. The beds were comfortable, the design was aesthetically pleasing, the breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the location was ideally suited to visit all three places (two of which are listed as UNESCO sites). The staff were also quite accommodating, having rectified a small issue with the wifi efficiently and with extremely grace. The only slight drawback that I can mention during our stay was that the water temperature varied quite frequently, but that can be easily forgotten once the rest of the property and its many amenities are taken into account. Highly recommended. And although we didn’t manage to have dinner on the property, we’d highly recommend Pangeia in Nazaré if you’re ever in the region; a perfect compliment to your stay.

The location is good. The hotel serves great breakfast too.

Last time we were in a different hotel, so thought we’d try this new one, Hotel Praia. In a good location, walking distance to the bus station and a couple of blocks to the beach and the touristy restaurants and shops along the waterfront. Breakfast was included and generally, it was fine. Great Nespresso coffee machine! Eggs were sweet; maybe someone put sugar in them? Sausages and bacon were not to our liking, but we appreciated the pastries, cereal, fresh fruit and yogurts. Staff at front desk were pleasant and helpful, but anytime we needed something, there was only one person working, so always had to wait. Same happened at breakfast in that there was not enough staff for all the people trying to eat. But, everyone was working hard and were very nice. New, light and bright, big rooms. Safe not working, very spare with really no decoration and minimalist white furniture, no hooks in bathroom, no place to hang towels and stuff. Wi Fi works okay, terrible water pressure, how about putting in some hooks and shelving. Also, places to plug in devices were needed. We don’t watch tv in a hotel, but this was the smallest tv we’d ever seen; if it was 15 inches, I’d be surprised! The hotel room was unfortunately not clean when we checked in and never vacuumed during our stay. We walked in the room in white socks and they were filthy, and lots of stuff stuck to them!

Lo mejor para mí fue la comida, es un comedor pequeño, sin grandes variedades, pero con una comida casera y muy rica. En mi caso, soy celíaca e intolerante a la fructosa, y se portaron muy bien conmigo, cuidaron mucho mi alimentación y me sirvieron con mucho cuidado, todos los alimentos. Mi agradecimiento a la cocinera, y al personal del comedor. Aunque con el resto del personal no tuve tanto trato, lo poco que tuve fue también muy agradable. Las habitaciones están reformadas, son bonitas y están limpias. Sin duda recomiendo este hotel para cualquier tipo de estancia

We stayed at the “Campanile” hotel in Caldas de Rainha for three nights during October. It was a pleasant stay, in a modern hotel with easy access to main roads, a supermarket near-by, free parking and a room with all amenities. As is the custom lately there is only soap no shampoo, so bring some. The location is in a convenient spot for day trips to close destinations, like the Obidos Castle, the Nazere lighthouse, the Fatima shrine or the Buddha Garden of Eden; all these are within an hour drive. There was a misunderstanding between ******* and the hotel regarding the cost of breakfast. We had seen “included” when booking, but the hotel asked for pay; ******* promised to reimburse us for the cost (6 Euro/day/person). We would recommend this hotel for its location, amenities and low cost.
