Hotel berhampiran Ó Turista, Fátima

**I am giving this hotel a 3 stars for the room alone. Every thing else was above average.** We stayed at this property from 03/20 – 03/23. I had reserved a suite. When I see a suite, I think of a very nice room with a good view. Not in this hotel. We were assigned room #101. This was a suite with a separate sitting room, but the view was of a wall. Not overlooking the sanctuary but a wall of the building next door. Not like the photos on the website. So, if you are looking for a room with a view, do not get room 101. Other than that, the stay was good. The room was clean, and the heating worked well. The price of the room was €93/night. All staff encountered were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant had an excellent staff (especially Ines) and the provided breakfast was very good. Breakfast was €15/person with a very large selection of items. It is one of the hotels located along this street that is directly across the street from the Sanctuary. There is a small onsite parking area with about room for 6 cars. Overall, if I had to do it again, I would not get a room but a city view room. I am giving this hotel a 3 stars for the room alone. Every thing else was above average.

There is 1 elevator that is accessible to guests, therefore, check-in was easy, but getting to the room with everyone arriving on tour took 20+ minutes. The shower stall [no bath] was short of a square meter, therefore, beware if you are a bit more round than tall. I woke up with a migraine and needed nourishment to keep it at bay. My wife and I sat down with a very meager plate in a dining room that had been near empty and the manager proceeded to kick us out, because the night before, without any warning, the telephone rang in our room and we were not consulted, just TOLD that our reservation was now @ 8 am. No manners, just an order. The manager was rude and angry when he found us, and made us feel as if we had crossed some imaginary line! Last I looked, hotels are there to serve their customers; had the manager been just straight forward or [god forbid] polite, I would have explained the situation - no chance of that. Nowhere have I ever felt more uncomfortable with the meager service and the unsolicited changes. There are many, many hotels in Fatima, as during holier days, they could be booked solid with no tents to rent, but this was not high season. I would imagine that many devout catholics would dream of such accommodations upon arrival, but we were just looking for a one-night visit. If ever you are in Fatima, beware of hyper-vigilant staff who seem to feel that they are doing us a huge favour by accepting our money and allowing us to eat. Wouldn't go back were they to send me the airfare and invite us back.

Chose the hotel due to its perfect location but was pleasantly surprised at the super modern facilities, the kindness of the the all the staff. Comfortable bedding, the room décor was modern chic, and very clean. My room faced the square and as a perk, I could hear the bells of the sanctuary and also the mass if I opened the window, such a peaceful view in the morning. I had a buffet at the restaurant (for 18 or19 euro), it not so many dishes but all were delicious, especially the dessert. I was glad that I had dinner there. Their breakfast also has a good selection. The hotel also has a souvenir store right in front, very convenient to get to the evening candle processions and gifts from Fatima. High speed wifi. Overall I'm happy with my stay and I would book this hotel again for my next trip.

Clean and neat hotel. Good place to rest and away from the hustle and rush of city. Superb breakfast spread. Great staff service. Reasonably priced. Can attend Mass daily as it just next to church. Near to a lot of eateries like gelato and yummy Pizza place ” PizzaMia” - hot and fresh pizza.

Absolutely loved staying at this hotel! Efficient, polite and helpful staff. Nice lobby area. Simply-furnished but clean and comfortable rooms that reflected the theme of pilgrimage in this town. I love the fact that they have a crucifix in every room! Everything worked well in the room and the beds were very comfortable! We had a room with a stunning view of the grounds and the sanctuary. The hotel is situated in a quiet area, far from the noisy pilgrims who, unfortunately, very frequently forget that this is a pilgrimage town! There was ample free public parking on the road outside the hotel and a hotel-owned private parking area just across the road. Walking through the hotel’s grounds and the picnic area of the sanctuary will lead you to the back part of the Basilica of the Rosary. It’s a short, pleasant walk - around 5 minutes. There are coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was standard continental fare. Nothing fanciful but plentiful. No hot dishes. Fresh fruits like apples, oranges and bananas were available. It was self-service which, to me, wasn’t ideal during this pandemic. The staff should be the ones serving the food to avoid many different hands handling the serving tongs/ladles. In addition, every time clients want more food, the food should be served on a clean, new plate. This is just to avoid the serving tongs/ladles from coming into contact with soiled plates and then being returned to the clean food dish. It prevents food contamination. A few other hotels in Fátima actually practise this at their buffets which is really a very hygienic practice! The restaurant area was large and tables well spaced-out. The hotel also provides half board and full board. Apart from breakfast, we didn’t have any other meal there so cannot comment on the quality of the food. We did, however, notice many Portuguese come for meals at the restaurant. Lunch or dinner costs €11/person. The best part of this hotel was the on-site beautiful chapel with the presence of the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament! Masses are said here every morning (7.45 a.m. on weekdays). It was such a bonus for us - to be able to start the day with Mass! Beautiful! The Masses are said in Portuguese and the ambience is so serene and spiritual with the community (priests, nuns and lay religious) present there that you feel at peace and one with God. In sum, this hotel is a good candidate for those wanting to conduct their own private retreat. It has a quiet, spiritual ambience and is very good value for money as breakfast is included in the room rate. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are looking for a peaceful stay. Excellent quality/price ratio!

I stayed here in 2016 for five nights, and gave the hotel a very positive review. This year, I stayed for 6 nights, and am delighted that it remains as well run, friendly, clean and pleasant as it was 6 years ago. I think the best description of Hotel Anjo de Portugal is ”comme il faut” -- everything is just as it should be. The rooms are well appointed, the linens high quality, the beds supremely comfortable, the staff solicitous and helpful but not intrusive. The breakfasts are magnificent. We ate in the restaurant twice during our stay. The food was very good and the cost / value ration exceptional. My memory might be failing me, but I seem to remember that previous, at night, the dining room was dimly lit with candles, whereas on this trip it was brightly lit as for breakfast, and to some extent that spoiled the effect for me -- but that's a small complaint. In 2016 I commented that the hotel looked brand new, despite having been built some years previously. Good quality fittings, careful cleaning and regular maintenance are important. Again, I'm pleased to report that our room was immaculately clean, as were the communal areas. Rooms facing the Sanctuary have fantastic views of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, and we particularly enjoyed being able to hear the Ave bells being run on hour and quarters. This hotel is a good choice for pilgrims wanting to visit Fatima. The hotel is on what I would call the 'quiet' side of town: the side of the Sanctuary with fewer hotels and restaurants -- the 'town' rather than 'tourist' side. However it's a 4 minute walk to the Sanctuary, down 1 safe, clean street and yet close to all amenities. A perfect haven of peace! Like everywhere, Fatima has been badly hit by Covid restrictions, and many hotels, restaurants and tourist businesses have closed since my last visit. I was delighted to see that Hotel Anjo de Portugal has weathered the storm, and I look forward to future visits.

The weather wasn’t great when we stayed, but the hotel’s complimentary bikes / e-bikes ( which you pay for ), mean you can explore the beautiful countryside which was ablaze with many varieties of wild flowers , there’s also great walking in the area. The hotel is quite quirky with its themed rooms, but they’re all very well sized , with bath tubs , with lovely views of nature . The food was excellent and the staff very discreet and helpful , a little bit formal however ! The building has been so well designed with lots of windows which embrace the stunning setting , congrats to the architect. It’s a great place to explore the National park from and we really enjoyed our stay …

Excelente! Altamente recomendado! Staff super simpático, especialmente o Senhor do bar /restaurante. Pequeno almoço maravilhoso, jantar muito bom, limpeza, localização extraordinária, ambiente familiar! Parabéns!
