Great location just inside city walls, easy walk to many restaurants. We were able to get a free public car spot just as you enter the city. Lovely old building, buffet breakfast was good with plenty of options

Beautiful old convent just inside town walls with a pretty courtyard garden and pool. Private parking on site. Excellent value for money. We had the superior double with terrace, and although the weather was bad we were very happy with the room, comfortable bed, up dated bathroom, large glsss door onto private terrace and over looking garden and out over the country side. Good, varied breakfast too with hot and cold options. Very close to cafés and restaurants snd 5 minute walk up into the main plaza. Friendly helpful service too. A bonus was the meeting of the local folk chorus band performing in the restaurant on traditional instruments. We were invited to join in the rousing chorus and my husband to play! Great fun !!

We had a lovely, large room with a patio door that opened overlooking a very nice street view. Lovely traditional tile headboard to the bed and grand curtains over the door. Breakfast was fantastic, the breakfast room was really beautiful, and the staff (Catarina?) talked with us briefly and we enjoyed chatting with her about life in Elvas. Lovely outside terrace with a great view of the surrounding area. Friendly staff. We felt at home here. Olive trees near the pool and a courtyard full of orange trees. We loved the spacious courtyard and beautiful trees.

Beautiful old Monastery sat on the city walls and tastefully converted to a hotel. Quirky, but comfortable with a lovely enclosed courtyard garden where you can drink under the Orange trees. Breakfast and Dinner were both very good value. All the history of the city, main Plaza and Castle (nice cafe) are in easy walking distance.

This was a great place to stay during my motorcycle trip around Spain and Portugal. The hotel is perfectly located for access to the old historic centre. Motorcycle parking is perfect inside the courtyard and the staff could not have been more helpful at check in and during my stay. The accommodation itself was really nice and comfortable, my room was good as were the general facilities and I enjoyed my breakfast (which was additional to the room rate - but decent value). I suppose the best recommendation i can give is to say that I would stay there again without hesitation.

If you want to visit the 17th Century defences of Elvas and the matching Star Fort, this is the hotel to stay at. Right on the walls at the entrance into the old town. Old fashioned hotel in the good sense. Excellent and helpful staff. Note that car parking can be difficult in old Elvas so take that into account. Once you park, do not move until necessary. Elvas also still has a garrison of Portuguese military. Do visit the Military Museum, it is very interesting and you might see the horses that are still keep there.

Gorgeous, historic buildings - a former convent - with lots of interesting areas to explore. The pool was beautiful but not in use yet. The courtyard was lovely, and our deluxe double bedroom looked over it. Our room was quite large and the bathroom as well, and the entire place was very comfortable. We felt like we were right in the middle of a special time in history in Portugal. There's so much to explore in Elvas, and the hotel is a great way to start.

Fantastic hotel situated inside the medieval fort. Looks and feels very atmospheric and authentic, but it has all the modern features. Everything was clean and comfortable, staff is nice and friendly. The hotel has its own free private parking, but it can be full in high season. But anyway there are a lot of free parkings quite close to the hotel, so it shouldn't be a problem.
