Hidden gem in the middle of everything in Evora
This is a lovely little hotel within walking distance of everything in Evora. The check in was easy and fast, and the service terrific. Breakfast was delightful. The arched ceilings in our room made for a cozy stay, and it was pleasant to have a living room to unwind in. A great value and a hidden gem.

The location of this hotel is unbeatable, right near the cathedral and Roman temple. The hotel is quaint and cute. Loved the common living room set up, we took a bottle of wine there and relaxed. The only bàd thing was the heater in our room, and our traveling friends room did not work. It was very cold. They did bring us a room heater which did the trick.

Everything was fine. We had big bags and the staff helped to carry them up many flights of stairs to our room. However, the management needs to check why there’s very little hot water in the shower. In winter, this is a big bummer.

This is an older hotel in the heart of Evora. The location was great, however, we had difficulty finding it as we had a rental car and the street isn't open to vehicles. I asked about parking and they quickly reserved a place, but they neglected to tell us that we couldn't drive directly to the parking. It would have been helpful to have given us a GPS location of the parking. Breakfast was adequate and the staff very nice. If you have trouble with stairs, this isn't the place for you as there are no elevators and small narrow stairs. They have an area on the 1st floor with couches and chairs which is nice for conversation with fellow travelers.

Wonderful location in the center of it all. Tiny room in an ancient building. Parking near here is impossible. You need to park outside the city walls and walk in. But once youre settled, its a nice location to walk the whole town. Nice breakfast.

The hotel is centrally location in a walking street near the central plaza. There is no elevator and no access to the hotel by taxi (two blocks away), but staff helpful with suitcases and guidance on the area. It is a renovated old building with old time charm. Very pleasant 2 day stay for me.

The hotel is located right in the center of town, with easy access to all attractions. HOWEVER nowhere on the page did we find the fact that the street is not accessible to vehicles so you need to drag your luggage a quarter a mile away from the parking area near the church. We used GPS to try to get to the hotel - big mistake, - it took us to a street nearby without ability to move forward to the hotel or to the parking area. In addition, the hotel has 3 floors and no elevators - you may need to carry your luggage up the narrow stairs. Breakfast was basic but OK. The air conditioning in the room did not work.

Boutique, in the heart of Old Town
This was a bit hard to find being located right in the middle of a very busy narrow street. One cannot drive to the hotel but there is parking about a block away. The room was surprisingly large and quiet. This was perfect for venturing out and hitting the highlight spots of this mid evil city. LOVED Evora

Cosy hotel on main shopping street
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel on a narrow cobbled street that was very busy in the day but quite quiet at night. Voices did seem to magnify from below, so we had to keep the windows and shutters closed at night in order to sleep. Also churchbells started ringing very early in the morning. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly.

Nice friendly well-run little hotel just off the main square. Clean comfortable rooms and good breakfast. A little noisy in the evening since you are above the little street but this was not really a bother. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful but no sleep
The hotel was beautiful with its combination of old world character but modern conveniences. However nothing else matters if the noise level from the street is so loud that you cannot sleep. The hotel should talk with guests about this and place the ones who want to sleep towards the back away from the street. It was such a shame that such a beautiful place was ruined in this way. Maybe noise machines in the street rooms could be an option?

Well Managed; Well Preserved
This older hotel is in a terrific location (no traffic street and close to key historical sites). Staff are polite, respectful and professional. Rooms are well laid out, spacious and tastefully furnished. Vaulted ceilings, wooden window shutters and the upstairs salon were nice touches.

In the Heart of the City.
This charming small hotel is right in the center of town, located between the main square and the cathedral. The room was spacious, but the bathroom was cramped. It offers a nice breakfast buffet. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Spacious hotel on a lovely street in Evora
While we only stayed at the Hotel Riviera for one night, it was very pleasant and comfortable. It almost felt like being in a home. We were able to check-in early and found the room and bathroom incredibly spacious. While not a huge complaint, our double bed was actually two twin beds pushed together but otherwise all the accommodations were wonderful. Breakfast was included and served in a pleasant room. The location was convenient to Praica de Garibaldi and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend and stay here again.

Great hotel right in the centre of Évora.
The location of this hotel couldn't be better. A fantastic Portuguese hotel, full of character. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. Try and book a parking space in advance, if possible (via the hotel). We were lucky that there was a space available on the day and it is just a very short walk away along a pedestrianised street. A good breakfast and excellent value hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Obrigado!

Perfect place for our stay in Evora.
Parked outside of the old walls for free and then it's a 15min walk to the hotel. The hotel is right where you want to be in Evora. Short five minute walk to the Roman temple. Nice Breakfast and very helpful front desk. Some people have mentioned street noise and I believe that would be a problem if people were being noisy. I heard someone rolling their luggage along the cobblestones one morning, but that was about it. The a/c worked very well, considering it was 105F/40C one day! Helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is older, but well maintained. It has character and isn't an Ibis or one of those sterile chain hotels. We thought it was lovely.

Nice hotel in a lovely town
Once you work out the parking it's great. Lovely room which was nice and quiet with a great breakfast to set you up for the day. It was only an overnight stop so didn't stay in the hotel for long but it's a lovely town and I'd stay in the same hotel again.
