There, Miguel walked us through the city's highlights and made a dinner reservation for us. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view outside. The complimentary breakfast was incredible! A mix of cold and made to order options that were all superb. I enjoyed local produce, including figs, pumpkin jam, bee pollen, yogurt, eggs, and bacon. The omelette was delicious, as were the pastries. Later in the day, we enjoyed a lovely lunch while sitting at their outdoor patio area. Such a perfect little place in a charming city! We can't wait to return and spend more time here.

I felt each coil on my body. The place is older , but kept & clean. Trucks are not allowed inside the castle walls, so many tourist has to carry in their luggage.

Tour buses are not allowed near the hotel so we had to walk our bags in - not a big deal as the…read morecity gate drop off point isn't too far from the hotel. The property is quite large. The hotel really made an effort to create many different spaces for meeting/gathering. There's a certain charm about this place that is inviting. Rooms do not have carpet but instead tile floors! Our room faced the large green space which was peaceful. Buffet style meals at breakfast and dinner were very well done. Location is walking distance to city center.

It seems that the buses cannot park right by the hotel. If you wanted to walk into town, you had to go back out and walk another 10 minutes, and it was a bit confusing as to which way was town center. We gave up after going into several streets and decided it wasn't worth it at that hour. We had a buffet dinner tonight at the hotel and the food was decent. Hotel had popcorn near Reception area. No water heater for coffee/tea, no body lotion, I'm almost 6' tall and had to stretch to reach the hangers in the hallway closet! Room was spacious. Nice views from room Staff was courteous and accommodating.

The on-site restaurant is Michelin level cuisine. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. Even when Evora is suffering a heat wave, this is a comfortable place to be.

Lunch at the hotel was perhaps better than we've had in other paradors in Spanish Extremadura. The environment is quiet and tranquil. Rooms are variable but ours was in the former library and featured an anteroom that was beautifully painted (see photo). Staff is helpful and friendly: one of the staff actually offered to move our car to a more secure location. Did not view or use pool. Town is very walkable and full of shops offering the usual panalopy of trinkets. Dinner was served well, prepared well, and savory. Breakfast had many hot and cold options. Highly recommended.

As for ours, it was small and there was very little room to walk around the bed or places to sit your suitcases. The bed was very low to the ground and hard. Highlight was their breakfast buffet.

Whether this hotel gets a better review will depend on the room you get. Being in an old building…read morethe room types are uneven. Same category can get you a great one with balcony or terrace (for which you'd likely get a rave review) or a basic one with no view. We had a room on second floor (#14) facing a narrow side street and building right on the other side. Noisy when someone walks below and talking. Room echos a lot so can hear next room or people in the hallway outside. Tile floor with no carpeting which is good and just enough space to do yoga or stretches. Plenty of outlets, wifi adequate. There is a coffee machine but no tea or kettle, one bottle of drinking water. High ceilings so at least the room didn't feel as oppressive as it's dark with not much lighting. Location is good, walkable to center. Breakfast adequate with standard continental.

The bed was comfortable and had a separate sheet as well as a duvet. The breakfast was well worth the price ($10). Staff were kind and respectful. From the train station, the hotel was just a 15 minute easy walk while carrying to packs on our backs. I'd take a taxi if I had a roller bag because of the cobbles in the streets and walkways.
