Popular Evora 4-star Hotels

We spent 2 nights here arriving by train and a short taxi ride from the train station. The Taxi only accepted cash which I did not have. I expected the driver would receive payment by credit card. So, my first encounter with the receptionist was to charge the fare to our room and provide currency for the driver. The receptionist telephoned the manager whom did not accept this arrangement. However, Antonio the receptionist went above and beyond in service by giving me 5 euros for tip and fair of his own money. I was so impressed by the gesture of this staff but not the management. I repaid Antonio with in minutes of finding an ATM machine and gave him double the amount he lended me. Another impressionable staff was Nelson whom treated us with exquisite service at the bar and at dinner. He deserved and received a direct tip that he wouldn’t have received if given through management. Management might want to take note of these performers as quality staff that reflects on the hotel service in a positive way. For breakfast the staff was indifferent and unenthusiastic. The higher end rooms here are large enough with sp**** decor and furniture. The floor is exposed grey concrete with no rug or tile coverings. It looks like it is still unfinished construction when contrasted with the pleasant marble bathroom walls. Good environment control with proper AC, fan, heat function. Bright room with large windows and window coverings that has an option for blocking the strong sun. The facility has both inside and outside small pools with recliners. The restaurant and bar is suitable for wine, cocktails, and reasonably valued food options. The location is walking distance to main tourist attractions in this small town.

We chose Albergaria Do Calvário based on previous reviews. The hotel is just inside the old city walls which makes for easy walking to the main sites in the old town, and to a variety of restaurants. Limited parking is available at the hotel and on the street. We had a large rental car so did have to park just outside the main walls on one evening. Our room was spacious, with a king size bed and well appointed marble bathroom. Breakfast was pleasant with a selection of fruit, breads, cheese, cake and eggs to order and we ate outside in the courtyard. Staff were very helpful in booking restaurants in advance of our arrival, and advising on sites in town and in the region. The extensive suggestions in the brochure the hotel provides before you arrive is a great way to plan ahead. We stayed for three nights to have two days to visit Mavao, enjoy a wine tasting at Herdade do Esporao and visit Monsaraz. We booked the wine tasting before we left as there is only one tasting in English per day. Mavao was well worth the drive. The Alentejo is a very interesting region and was one of the highlights of our holiday in Portugal. Albergaria Do Calvário is a perfect base in the lovely town of Évora.

We had a wonderful stay in Evora and booked the MouraSuits Hotel. The check-in was super friendly and we even allowed our room to be taken up more than indicated. The hotel offers an extra parking space so we did not have any problems with the closing of our car. We had a superior room for 2 people with view of the pool. The bathroom is beautifully equipped with a rain shower. The pool was also pleasantly cold, but not too cold. The breakfast was a dream. We could order our egg food without a surcharge, there were various fresh juices as well as cheese and sauce cut, baggage, etc. We will come back in any case.

We had a superb staying at the Noble House, we stayed in the Noble Suite, it’s a fantastic room perfect for reading, very quiet and with 2 amazing French Doors with fantastic views over Évora beautiful landscape!!The hotel is an old Manor House well decorated, the staff is super friendly, delicious breakfast, thank you very much to all for making our stay even better!

First the good. Most of the staff are very nice. The bar and restaurant area are pleasant and so is the pool area. Water pressure in the shower is good. However, this is not up to 4 star standards. The rooms are dated. The doors don't fit properly and there are gaps. It is the first time I have seen a shower curtain over a bath in an hotel in many years. The TV is a very small free standing TV. There is a terrace but it only has one chair. On our second day after housekeeping had been we were faced with stained bath towels, we took them back to the housekeeping room but there was noone there so we swapped them with unstained ones. Certainly not acceptable in any class of hotel. The restaurant is nice and the food is good, but only buffet. Breakfast is extremely noisy because the hotel caters to coach parties and conferences. The breakfast food is nothing great but ok. The pool area is nice but although there is a member of staff in the pool bar area you have to get dry and dressed to go into the hotel to get food and drinks, not really great for a supposed 4 star hotel. The pool also was full of flying ants,/mosquitos on the first day, although there were a few less on the second day.

Too beautiful hotel, great location, super breakfast, free parking on public holidays, weekdays, 5 euros a night! Clean, tidy, bathroom and room are the biggest in the whole Portugal trip! Must like it! Evora has a lot of extra points for this hotel! New Year's dinner is also great!

I stayed in Évora O Cante for three nights during business travel. I had a nice big spacious room on the first floor, with a view over the pool - which was nicely available late September for a refeshing dip. Arriving from Lisbon by car, the location is perfect: easy to reach and with an underground garage at no extra cost - a bit tight, though, but manageable, right next to old town to go out by foot. I enjoy breakfast, when travelling, here it was a treat with good selection of familiar courses and local specialties, nicely presented, putting you through to an active day.

This hotel immediately made me think of the phrase ”I would like but I can't” because it has the potential of a 5-star resort, but unfortunately the services stop much earlier. The structure is surrounded by cork trees, but there is no maintenance: the flowerbeds are not well cut, the external lights do not all work, the paint on the structures where the rooms are located are off. Inside the rooms are spacious, clean but the blackout curtains did not work. In the main building there is an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a sauna and a gym. For breakfast they assign slots to choose from, although there isn't that much turnout. The same goes for the restaurant in the evening, where the food is quite good but not excellent. In summary, with a few adjustments this structure could be wonderful, at the moment it is only decent

It is difficult to fault this extremely well thought out hotel. Every detail required as a new family of a 3 month baby girl was catered to. They prepped our room with all the toiletries towels and a cot we needed for baby and set up a shaded area outdoors with abacus and pillows for guests with children which I used daily for baby’s naps. The staff go above and beyond, the facilities are so incredible, the food amazing and the scenery wonderful. For a relaxing getaway whilst pregnant or with small children/babies it really does cater to providing a tranquil, serene atmosphere in which to enjoy your down time. The housekeeping staff are lovely and keep everything spotless and the amenities of the rooms are great. We shall be coming back throughout the year to experience it during different seasons as they have an outdoor fire pit nook we would love to experience in winter. As a previous Octant Douro customer on several occasions we must say well done Octant hotels for creating this beautiful concept in hotel experience.
