Hotel República Boutique Hotel

We highly recommend Hotel Republica. It definitely is a five star hotel. Recently 4 of us stayed in 3 rooms for 2 nights. Republica is situated on the main square in the center of old town almost next to the Church of Sao Joao Babtista. As you enter the hotel, the staff at reception are extremely professional and very friendly. After checking us in she spent quite a bit of time explaining what is in the area and particular sites that we should see. The front desk staff and the Restaurant staff are exceptionally proficient and friendly. In the restaurant, they were very knowledgeable about wines and helped us make a great selection for dinner that night. The food in the restaurant from escargot to pasta and steaks, are very good and so is the breakfast buffet that includes scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, cheeses, meats, pastries, and fruit. If that is not enough you can get made to order poached eggs, fried eggs, etc. again, the staff rotates between the restaurant and the front desk and are all extremely friendly and helpful. All of our rooms were incredibly neat and clean and had a very nice pink marble bathroom with a walk-in glass rain shower. The beds were firm and extremely comfortable. Made service in the mornings freshen the room like you were never there. We had a room overlooking the square which was lovely if you can request it, I suggest it. Be sure to go next-door and see Carlos at Mesa dos Templarios, you can sit outside in the square under the umbrellas, and enjoy a delicious fish soup or his flaming sausages tableside. In the evenings, definitely stop in there for the best Negroni’s made in Tomar. A special thanks to Carlos, who made us feel so welcome in town. It happened to be the anniversary celebration of the founding of the town with a parade and festivities and he made sure the four of us were included in these. It was like having family in Tomar. He introduced us to real Templars and made sure we were well taken care of at other restaurants in town. For a fun evening we recommend Taverna Antiqua.

It’s not a 5 Star hotel, it’s nice and the staff is very friendly but we had a hard time trying to get the A/C to work and never worked. The shower didn’t close well so there was water all over the floor

We booked two rooms overlooking the square. Each room was clean and very comfortable. The only odd thing is the glass wall to the bathroom. We are not used to this type of openess. Didn't ruin our stay but definitely a thing to think about if sharing a room with someone your not married to. Could get weird quick. The hotel was centrally located as well and close to the knights Templar castle. Overall, it was a great stay

It was in the city. And everything was so god and very exlusive. Breakfast exelent
