Beautiful setting for this hotel this around a castle wall. Great had room 218, the bed was BAD…read more It was a king size bed that needed to be replaced some years ago. 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. We had dinner included with our package, everything had Pork in it. Poor culinary abilities.

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.

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There is a lovely view from the rooftop pool area of the walled city. Parking on site was easy to find and convenient. The buffet breakfast was very good and there was a good selection of food. My husband had left his electric adapters at home and the hotel lent us a set and then directed us to a nearby store where my husband was able to make a purchase. The staff were all very helpful and attentive to our needs.

My wife and I were here on a Gate1 tour, coming from Azaruja, and the cork factory…read more We had to walk for about 10 minutes from where the bus parked to the M'Ar De Ar Aqueduto hotel, and the weather was hot, reaching 80 degrees today. 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. You can soak in a pool and order food and cocktails (as well as the obligatory local wines) poolside. It is a 10 min walk to the Roman temple and other sites.

A very interesting getaway spot. You can Monsaraz up the hill from the hotel grounds. Junior suite…read moreroom was very spacious, but because furnishings are so sparse and there aren't many soft furnishings to absorb noise, you can hear everything in enhanced sounds--neighbors in the hall, and lucky for us, some family with a screaming toddler. NOT a place to bring little children--it seems much more like a getaway from the daily grind type place, certainly for adults. They have one "buffet" meal on offer at night if you want to eat on site. It's not exciting, but edible. Breakfast is included and not bad either. Nothing terribly exciting. An interesting and different stop on a trip that was all cities.

The hotel is beautiful and located at a prime location in town, in fact right next to the Roman…read moretemple. 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. It was huge, delicious and was held in the courtyard. Disappointing was the dinner. Food was boring. Nothing exciting on the menu. Staff was welcoming.

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.

They also gave us a little history on this hotel, which she used to be a non-convent for monks and nuns. I was built in the 15th century and the room used to be monks cells. I love history so I very much appreciate it hearing about this! The hotel is located right in the center of everything so you can walk everywhere. Right next to it our Roman ruins from BC.
