Pros:

Extraordinaire comme emplacement.
Le stationnement privé est un gros plus, et gratuit.
Le jardin intérieur est très agréable, calme et rempli d'arbre fruitiers. La chambre était belle, le lit confortable et la literie de très bonne qualité.
Le buffet du déjeuner offrait une belle variété.
J'ai adoré mon petit séjour, merci a tout le personnel extrêmement gentil et dévoué.

Pros:

La habitación era sin ventanas hacia afuera. La ventana daba a un hall , por lo tanto no se podía abrir porque las personas pasaban por esa hall continuamente. Nadie nos lo informó , pensamos que es un poco de engaño al reservar sin saberlo.

AN EXCELLENT STAY IN A GOOD LOCATION
Pros:

This was our second visit to the hotel and it did not disappoint The room was big and comfortable, car parking excellent and the breakfast was very good. Staff were very helpful. Location is also excellent with a good restaurant 70 metres away, and the main parts of Elvas in walking distance, Simply an excellent stay.

Cons:

Nothing

Buen hotel, cercano al centro, con piscina y parking
Pros:

El ser un hotel con encanto, cercano al centro, y que se puede aparcar. Además tiene piscina, que alivia las tardes.

Cons:

El desayuno es lo que he visto que queda un poco corto para ser un buffet. Además los zumos son de bote y el café de máquina expendedora. Por lo demás, muy bien
