Casa Melo Alvim

I stayed at this hotel after a very long day of walking the Camino to Santiago. The staff helping me during my check in were very helpful and welcoming even in my tired condition. My room was elegant, very large and comfortable. I felt like I was living in a villa with the beautiful stairs and decor. The room air conditioning did not cool off the room and I could not open my windows and per management this is due to the time of year. I did enjoy the breakfast and the elegance of the restaurant. This is my second time at this hotel and I love it still

The hotel is in a great location, and our room was fine. Unfortunately the air conditioning went out on our second night. We made calls and visits to the front desk. Several times he said he re-started the system, but it did not help. There were no other rooms available, so we asked for and got a fan which helped. We opened the windows, but our room was easily accessible from outside, so that seemed unsafe, and bugs were coming in. It was a very uncomfortable night. |The next day, I asked for a partial refund, and only got comped for the parking. The person on duty said it is an old air conditioning system that does not work well. If you are sensitive to sleeping in a hot room in July, you should book elsewhere.

The city is amazing. The services are very good with super helpful staff. The building is old but renovated, and you feel mix between old and modern. The location is close from everywhere.

This hotel is perfectly located next to the train station. Old world charm, great bed, excellent staff and services, the breakfast is superb.

Well located and the ambient of the hotel is amazing, unfortunately only one short passage of one night, but for sure to repeat in the future

Our experience at this hotel was outstanding. After a long day's walk with backpacks on the Camino Portuguese, it was wonderful to be greeted by the hotel's reception staff with an invitation to take a bath and relax and then come back to the front desk with our passports to complete the check in. We were also invited to feel free to bring any hand washed laundry that we did to the front reception to be dried in the hotel's dryer and returned! The room was very attractive, roomy and comfortable. The breakfast had everything that we could possibly want and was available early, which was appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel.

After a long day of walking we received a very warm welcome. It was built in the 1500s, very tastefully restored. They have a happy hour and a brewery restaurant. The beds were a bit hard however, it was a nice large room and bathroom. The wifi connection was good.

This Hotel exceeded all our expectations. It had a excellent staff who helped us with everything we requested from Taxi help to advise on great restaurants to sites to visit. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was always well kept with fresh fruit and juice as well as a taste of European cuisine. Thank you so much for the great service and comfortable stay.
