the hotel apparently date to the eighties of the previous century seemed not been refurbished rethought or more than that restyled . there is no problem in 3* hotel and substainaibility whenever they have their own rules standarts and filled them correctly we could have gone along without the traditional patatas orange soup the local baklaou fish if they were prepared with attention and taste, same for the rooms which were cold on this february winter . the same person attending us at the dining room at the reception so she could not be smiling to us a group of 22 pax
A three star hotel in Castelo de Vide Alentejo regio in Portugal. Friendly, nice hotel, alacart eating is not possible , it has to be ordered in advance. Rooms are basic, insulation is not properly made, doors towards balcony are not closing properly, so in cold wheather relatively inconvenient inside. Otherwise ok, centre of the city is 5 minutes walk.
Very easy to find on the road to the main square, 10 minutes walk from the center, free parking on site. Good sized and clean room, clean bathroom, all facilities working great. Excellent breakfast, full of yummy items. Special mention to Joseph, the receptionist, who was so kind and helpful to us, with many useful recommendations. A lovely stay that we'd repeat.
The staff and manager are kind, helpful and professional. Prices are fair. Spotless is the word. Pity that the hotel offers a genuine time traveller experience. You could turn a Seventies movie inside. Still, if you don't much mind the aesthetics, it offers a cosy, confortable stay. Tiny pool. Two euros gets you a discountrd entry to a huge municipal pool right by the hotel main door. BTW... the pool's restaurant serves delicious Indian food, cooked by the owner's Mom and served by himself and by his adorable Portuguese wife.
Considering that it is a 3 star, at a reasonable price, one cannot expect much ... On the positive side: - Large room, acceptable breakfast (at a 3 star level), very close to the center, with free parking, and a small pool. On the negative side: - The hotel needs to be renovated / refurbished. Starting with the reception and including the rooms. It could easily migrate to a 4 star level (and the beautiful town of Castelo de Vide definitely needs a 4 star hotel, as there is none), but renovation is urgent. - The pillows are simply horrible - almost impossible to sleep with them. My neck still hurts. The TV in the room is too small, with just a few channels. - The Wi-Fi had some problems.
