  : the location is good as it is in the old town, In insight I would have preferred even staying on the outskirts and drive in as there are ample parking areas (or taxi in) and staying in a decent hotel
  : everything else. the room was atrocious. Such neglect, The extractor fan was so ultra noisy and made the lights dim. There was a dressing table type of furniture taken up by the TV, the hotel could not be bothered to put it on a bracket or on a shelf. there was not plugs by either side of the bed to charge your phone, which is imperative when sightseeing.. In an old building it is quite acceptable to surface mount for extra plugs etc... I guess the owners can't be bothered. The hand towels should be thrown away, my dogs have better ones. (the bath towels were OK) the bath was all chipped. The sofa chair was filthy and in need of recovering or binned. The information display from the tourist office was empty, Not even a map of the city was provided. A sheer lack of care. The tv input cable was faulty you could see where they had attempted to fix it. We crawled under the dressing table and re adjusted it. yuck.... When I mentioned it was not c lean, it was surface clean so the very young cleaning ladies were doing their jobs, I am talking about the dirty corners of the high ceiling, like the extractor fans, etc, this is maintenance job not cleaning ladies job. Did mention the aircon was not working.?

  : A lovely, homey, renovated guesthouse with a lot of history and lots of steps.Good buffet breakfast, quiet, comfortable bed, and hot shower. Google Maps found it hard to locate, but once found, it was nice and central. In the old town of Evora, many things to explore but arriving and departing by foot from the bus and train station is difficult with luggage on the cobblestone streets (but doable)Thank you for my stay, I felt very at home, comfortable, welcome, and safe

  : This hotel is centrally located in the historic town within easy walking distance to all the main sights including the Roman Temple, Chapel of bones and fortress like Cathedral. The Hotel had a museum feel to it with many common rooms and period furnishings..Staff was very helpful and accommodating and the buffet style breakfast was varied and plentiful..
  : Our room gave on a courtyard which was neglected yet had the potential to be a quaint garden or used as a parking.

  : We really enjoyed staying in a historic property in the heart of Evora's old city. Staff went out of their way to help us on several occasions. We liked the outdoor seating areas and the tastefully decorated public rooms.
