Poutena Hotels

"We were told breakfast was not included in our stay, which ended up being okay as we had to leave before it opened. Staff was helpful with suggestions for places to eat and stored our bags until our room was ready. The view from the bar was great and they had just put out new furniture on the patio."

"Very helpful with us at check in. Gave extra care to medical devices we were traveling with. Claudio at the front desk was patient and gracious with us. It was a spectacular hotel, as much of a pleasure to tour the grounds as it was to tour the historic landmarks."

"Just stayed for a night. Wonderful hotel and well maintained. Felt safe and convenient."

"The hotel was very welcoming to keep our luggage until the room was ready. We were able to walk to the university and the river within minutes; I can’t think of a better situated location. Upon getting the room, we were welcomed with bread and wine, a much unexpected delight. The room was very secure and nicer than the exterior would have expected!!! The room was a great space with a kitchenette and the staff went above and beyond in providing information, dining locations and what to experience while we were there. The provided breakfast was a mix of fruit, meat, cheese, breads and cereal, all which were great. If you have trouble with steps, ask for a ground floor room as there is no lift, but if you have trouble with steps, you’re probably not going to enjoy Portugal at all!!! LOL!!!"

"Incredibly attentive staff, and incredible attention to detail. Great breakfast, their restaurant was delicious, and being steps away from the college was a bonus for sightseeing. "

"Didn’t rent a car can’t comment on parking. Centrally located right across from the river and a short walk to the University. Great breakfast, loved the library themed room. Comfortable bed. Will return."

"The pool and tennis courts beautiful. They may have worst gym I've ever used. Breakfast/restaurant average. Of the boutique hotels we stayed in in Portugal it was lower end"

"A/C is not working "

"An incredible boutique hotel that strives for excellence in all aspects of their business. Their accommodations, amenities, and service are incredible. The breakfast is one of a kind: the selection and variety, freshness of baked goods, fruits, deserts, and spread is one of a kind. Their dining room staff with the dedicated leadership of Carlotta is at the highest levels of hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed the incredible new 12 course tasting menu one evening. The indoors and out door pools are inviting with a spa-like atmosphere. The front desk staff is eager to assist, including loading and unloading luggages. Nothing but the best to say - this hotel is a gem."
