This hotel is in old town inside the walls. Only small cars can drive there as the cobblestone…read morestreets are narrow. If you arrive in a large car or bus you park below and walk up. View from the public spaces - check-in area, terrace and dining room is fantastic but our room - 202 - in the building opposite registration is on street level with tiny windows and of course no view just looking at the other building across a narrow street. Being on the first floor makes the room dark as well. Ceilings are not high although ok. Room is a good size however, with enough space for yoga. Bathroom has some decorative tiles but not tiled in the bathtub with a handheld shower. Bed is high and firm. Windows have blackout wooden shutters. No coffee tea making facilities in room but small fridge. Only one night table and one chair. Shower is just a handheld but with good water pressure. Floor is tiled with area rug. Light in closet doesn't go off but you can close the room door or use as night light. Things are clean, the room is painted all white with wood framing. Room got a bit cold - heat didn't work much first day but there are many more quilts in the closet which we used. WiFi doesn't work well, keeps dropping during the day. Standard continental breakfast. Short walk to the Marvao castle. Being in old town means there are not much around in terms of shopping although there are some restaurants.

I have only one regret about this place.... I only wish we had booked a couple of extra days!…read more It's located inside the village walls with a castle at one end! Don't be afraid to drive inside the city gate, you need to drive to the extra parking spots 3 and 2. Eventually you will come to the hotel which has its own parking spots. How lovely...Only catch...you go back the way you came in and it is too narrow for two way traffic! The hostess was willing to accommodate our request for an early breakfast because we had a tour at the megaliths. Lovely views!

I recently spent 3 nights at Hotel Tryp in Castelo Branco. It's located a few minutes walk from…read morethe historic castle that the town is named for, and just a few more minutes from the town itself. The hotel sits on a hillside, and the rooms on the front side of the building have spectacular views and balconies. The rooms themselves are clean, well maintained, and have modern fixtures and decor. My only complaint about my room was that it didn't have enough electrical outlets. Other amenities include tennis courts and a nice pool. Most of the staff speak English and/or Spanish in addition to Portuguese, and were very friendly and helpful. The hotels restaurant was also very enjoyable, with daily specials for lunch and dinner in addition to the a la carte menu and dinner buffet. The menu was fairly priced and the quality of the food was above-average for a typical hotel restaurant. I enjoyed my stay, and have no reason to not use this hotel again on future visits to Castelo Branco.

Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful, wandering around the streets in the evening and the morning after the tourists had left/before they arrived was a treat and the staff were supremely friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend and would come back in a heartbeat - we loved it :-) Thanks for a great stay...
