Rode here from Spain over the course of 2 days. Straightforward to find the hotel once we were in Fatima, the destination of the Euro Vespa Scooter Rally 2010. The receptionist suggested that we may like to park our scooter in their underground car-park, which involved a very steep incline over a rough chalky unmade driveway (not the easiest of things to ride on two small wheels). Strangely enough, every other hotel car-park down our street seemed to have proper concrete driveways and much less of an incline.

Hotel very clean but, with it being a religious shrine town, I would really not have expected anything else.

Our room was small although it suited our purposes as simply somewhere to crash for the night, and one of the doors on the wardrobe got stuck but it was still accessible so no harm done.

Breakfast was the usual continental style, which was sufficient, and the restaurant served three choices of evening meal although we did not sample it, having found an excellent kebab restaurant a short walk away.

There was an outdoor bar area, unfortunately next to the children's play area although, to be fair, there were not many children staying there. The barmen were friendly and soon memorised our order, so started preparing our drinks the moment we walked through the door. It was very peaceful at night, sitting under the stars listening to the Mass which could be heard from across the Shrine Square (quite bizarre really).

The hotel is new, very well located for those who want to go to pray and visit the sanctuary.
The rooms are new, clean with large bathrooms.
It is possible to park the car on the street on the side of the hotel and it seems to be OK.
I dont know if this would be possible when it is time of peregrination to the sanctuary.
The breakfast and dinner could be better. They could offer more options in the breakfast and we didnt like the dinner. They arent in the same level of the hotel.

I wrote a review last year praising this hotel. This year they have betterred themselves even more. There have been a few subtle changes in the decor and ambience. The restaurant offers a splendid dining experience as well as a comprehensive menu to suit all tastes. The location can't be beaten. Most visitors to Fatima come as pilgrims to the shrine, this hotel is literally metres away from the Shrine and Basillica.

The Estrela de Fatima Hotel is a very good hotel, placed at the very centre of the town. It is very confortable and the people are very nice. At night there's the possibility of taking some very good wines in the hotel: I suggest you the White Porto!
