Si vas a Elvas, es un Buen Lugar para Quedarte
Pros:

Hotel bonito, con una entrada preciosa. Personal muy amable en la recepción. Habitación amplia con armario y cuarto de baño. Está situado en la entrada del casco histórico de Elvas y es facil aparcar justo al lado. Buen sitio para quedarse si vas a comer marisco (Marisquería Lucitania, impresionante) y pasar un día en este bonito pueblo portugués.

Cons:

Todo correcto

Pros:

The location and the fact that they have private parking on site was very good. Also the breakfast was nice.

Cons:

The superior room wasn’t that superior at all. The bed was very simple, was expecting something better. The TV is way too small for a room like that as it is so far away from the bed. And it had a lot of dust behind it.

Unter den erlebten Umständen: muss nicht sein.
Pros:

Zimmer war sehr groß - das Frühstück könnte vielfältiger sein - die Lage ist in Ordnung

Cons:

Eine einfache braune Wolldecke zum Zudecken ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Im Frühstücksraum war es ungewöhnlich laut. Die Anreise war mehr als schlecht. Das Hotel konnte erst ab 18.00 Uhr angefahren werden, weil ein Faschingsumzug stattfand. Ein Hinweis vom Hotel wäre angebracht gewesen. Wir waren schon um 14.30 Uhr vor Ort, meine Frau wurde an der Rezeption mit den Worten weggeschickt: Check-in erst um 15.00 Uhr möglich! Passend zu einem 4-Sterne-Hotel?
