Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay.The staff were kind and attentive. The room was comfortable and spacious. The breakfast had a good choice that suited us well seeing that my wife is vegan they provided a plant based milk, fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices.
We will return.

The hotel was overall nice, althought we felt that it shouldn`t be considered a 4 star hotel (more like a 3).

Wonderful place - was an old convent then a military hospital. The building was constructed in the 1600's so it just radiates with character. We loved the worn marble stairs and the winding passage ways. It also has sitting areas throughout the hotel where you can sit and read or gather to talk or check emails. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed our stay a lot, had a great veiw and spacious room. Staff let us check in early and helped book a taxi into Spain. The breakfast was amazing. We were given 2 single beds instead of the requested double, and we unfortunately had very noisy guests opposite that kept us up late.

Perfect location to the center of town and easy to get to. Interesting history of the building. We were upgraded to a huge room with lots of antique furniture but still a bit sparse. Staff was excellent particularly Daniela. Bar was closed but breakfast was good. The pool was a nice way to spend a hot afternoon after visiting the city.

Character property with friendly staff
Character property which some might say is old fashioned. Friendly staff. Aircon not great so slept with balcony doors open. Elvas is a must visit town

Hidden Gem
Amazing property, fantastic service, brilliant room. We had a room with a terrace in the second floor which was magical. Views of the fort from the balcony.
Bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was top notch (except for the coffee machine although they made up for it with coffees delivered to the table)
Hotel had secure parking behind a barrier.
Can’t go wrong with a stay here.

A very enjoyable stay!
We loved our stay at this hotel. We had a really nice room overlooking the pool, a comfortable bed and a terrace where we sat with a bottle of wine in the evening. We enjoyed sitting and reading by the pool in the afternoon and breakfast the next morning was delicious. We had the option of sitting in their beautiful courtyard with lime trees or inside in the dining area. The hotel was very atmospheric having been a convent, we could feel the history as we wandered around the corridors! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and it was useful being able to park our car in their spacious carpark. A happy stay for us!

Historic Hotel in Elvas
We were updated to a superior room with balcony - view of garden, country and town. Also received a voucher for a free drink. Elvas is a very historic town inside a fortress. The hotel is very nice and has a garden area with a swimming pool. As it was very hot it was a delight to use. Air conditioning,WiFi and bathroom with bath were all fine. A nice bar and courtyard area. We enjoyed the buffet
breakfast outside in the courtyard. Altogether a pleasant stay.

What a gorgeous hotel!!! It is in a several hundred years old monastery and there are signs of old wood and marble from the days of old. Each room held a monk and the ceilings are vaulted and wooden. So beautiful. Request room 301, open the windows and look straight down for a nice surprise!!!! This property was a five minute walk from all kinds of restaurants and shopping. Eat at Restaurante Luís Cobra one block away. You wont regret it!!

Over all, this is a very interesting hotel. It used to be a Monastery and it still holds true to its roots with antique furniture, artifacts and tiled walls. We stayed in an interior room with the window looking out into the sitting room. It would probably be better to stay in an exterior room for more light. The full breakfast is included and it was excellent. I recommend that you book your stay in warmer weather because the halls and restaurant are not heated.
