Arrived late at night and there was a musty smell, opened the window and went to sleep, next morning I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. It’s an amazing place and loved the pool, the building itself and the location. Having parking was appreciated and staff was really nice! Will return.

Lovely ancient historical building. Everything very tasteful. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. There was a problem with my coffee machine and the lady and gentleman who came immediately were great. Breakfast was tasty with a wide choice of hot and cold items and I was able to eat it in the courtyard. Room was great with a large balcony overlooking the city walls. The lovely lady on reception allowed me to park my motorcycle in the secure locked courtyard overnight. Room was super too, with nice cold air conditioning even though it was 37C outside! Best of all were the super friendly helpful staff mentioned already plus the staff at breakfast.

We had a wonderful stay in this quaint hotel located in a 1645 historic building - a former monestery and military hospital- within and part of the city walls. Our room with terrace overlooked the garden, swimming pool and the historic city walls as well as the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the sunsets there. This hotel is close to the city center, has free parking and breakfast was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved that they have several quiet reading/sitting areas. Prices are reasonable. We noticed that several rooms were getting updated. There is also a beautiful courtyard with orange trees. And the restaurant has a huge (cooking?) fireplace. This hotel is a great base to not only visit Elvas, but also Evora, Badajoz and Merida. We look forward to our next stay here

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were nice. Place has a weird old smell. But it is an old building. Decor is dated and bedding feels meh. Bathroom shower head had someone else’s hair wrapped around it. For the price it’s kinda what I expected. North American motel vibes in castle like building. View was nice. Parking easy. Neighbour was annoying and started playing music at around 2am. Had to put my AirPods in to sleep but still slept terrible. The noise and the beds a bit hard for me. That’s not the hotels fault.

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.

What a gorgeous hotel!!! It is in a several hundred years old monastery and there are signs of old wood and marble from the days of old. Each room held a monk and the ceilings are vaulted and wooden. So beautiful. Request room 301, open the windows and look straight down for a nice surprise!!!! This property was a five minute walk from all kinds of restaurants and shopping. Eat at Restaurante Luís Cobra one block away. You wont regret it!!

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.

The hotel is in an excellent position, parking is easy and access to the city is a few minutes on foot. It is a beautiful property, lovely places to sit inside and out. Our historic room was very clear, large and well presented. I will definitely look forward to staying here again
