Hotel dos Templários

The staff were amazing with friendly service. The hotel location and ambiance were simply great. The rooms were very clean, neat, and comfortable. Finally, the hotel restaurant was top notch.

We spent 1 night here on our Gate 1 tour. The grounds are quite nice to walk around in. The room was nice with a chair and desk in addition to the bed. The bathroom was actual outside the bedroom in kind of an entry way which was a little unusual.|The breakfast in the morning was quite good with a lot of different choices.

This is a must stay for any trip to Portugal. Amazing place. Room 425 is a dream come true. The views and privacy are incredible and everything about the hotel is inviting and perfect. At an hour drive from Lisbon this is the best idea for travel as we want to arrive at a destination with the best place and experience really cool neighborhood. Great lunch at the lobby bar when we arrived early. Check in was seamless. Upgrading to the better room is fabulous and my wife is very impressed. Wish we were staying many more nights! The short walk to the dining area neighborhood was fun and romantic. Ended the evening with a stroll through the square and park. This is fantastic way to start our trip. We will be back!

The hotel is a conference venue with many amenities. It offers a good breakfast with many choices. I felt the hotel was ready for some up grades especially in the bath room. The bath had a shower/ tub combination that was lacking hand safety rails. Many travelers are older and this combination of shower/tub is challenging, safety rails would be a real plus. The sink was lower than a regular sink which may it un comfortable to use.

Great value for money. Great location, surrounded by green areas and a quiet river, near the fabulous Convent of Christ. But what surprised us even more was the Grão Mestre restaurant. High quality food and very nice staff (especially for the room manager) made our experience there unforgetable. After that, the nextdoor bar also provided a pianist playing great popular international music.

Tomar is a great small city. We spent 2 nights and it was definitely worth it.|The hotel is older and it shows. But room was fine, nice view.|Outdoor pool was too cool as usual but the indoor pool was warm although a bit small.|Breakfast was a big buffet and was good. Lots of Bus Tourists.|We did not eat in the Restaurant.

This is a large and luxurious hotel that's a great base for exploring the area. The rooms are comfortable and huge, the staff helpful and competent, the facilities (pool, pool table, etc.) really nice (the indoor pool is quite something, though we didn't need it in the summer). Breakfast delicious in the Portuguese manner---we never tried the restaurant for dinner but it looked fine. The Templar castle/monastery is well worth a visit in itself, and Tomar has some nice restaurants. And Coimbra, Nazare, and the monasteries at Batalha and Alcobaca are all within about an hour's drive.

We had a great time in Tomar, and the hotel was in the right spot to walk to all the local sights, including the Rio Nabão. Our room was a "standard" room, which was spacious and clean and came with a balcony overlooking the pool. It had a nice bathroom, and the AC was great since it was around 90 outside. We used both pools, and they were well-maintained. We didn't get a chance to eat in the hotel, because we wanted to try all the local spots. Drove to Tomar from Porto, and that was easy with an excellent highway system. A good base since it was not too far a drive to Obidos, Nazaré, Fátima, and other interesting towns. We booked directly and got free parking.

Older hotel but well kept. Bed is very comfortable. Several pillows to choose from soft to firm. Towels are placed on a warmer. No coffee|Tea in the room. Beautiful landscape. Hotel has a pool. Conveniently located in city center.

My wife and I were here with Gate1 tour. we've got mixed feelings about this hotel, though I rate the Hotel and Service a 4, but ... the buffet dinner - part of Gate1 - was absolutely the worst meal on our entire tour. Rice was cold, cod was tasteless, etc. Hotel is 10 minutes walk to town center. Breakfast buffet was good, but the usual normal buffets that hotels typically serve. What was interesting were the paintings of Knights Templar on the walls in the dining room. Room is good-sized, the lighting is very good, outlets are much better placed so I could sit up in bed and use my laptop while charging it. Only drawback is no water heater to make tea/coffee in the room. Service was normal, nothing exceptional.

Older hotel and it shows, rooms have a unique layout in that the bedroom has its own separate door even though it's entirely unnecessary in my opinion. Room thermostat takes some maneuvering/troubleshooting to understand. General lobby/lounge area is quite spacious with lots of sitting and lounging space. There is live entertainment (piano music) in the evenings which is nice for gathering. Elevators are small/cramped and peculiar in that not all elevators take you to the first floor so it's puzzling at first. The location is ideal though for walking around and shopping though.

I really don't remember the condition of our room since we barely spent any time there, and we did not dine on the premises. What we distinctly remember, and the reason we provided our 5-star rating, is their phenomenal pianist - Andre Vicente. Mr. Vicente's musical ability was fabulous and visitors who casually browsed the lobby and food entertainment area were stunned by his impressive performance. Who would ever expect a pianist at a hotel venue to receive standing applause from an unexpected audience! A stay at this hotel with the extraordinary pleasure of listening to pianist Andre Vicente would be a high point of your visit to Tomar.

This hotel is old and the room I stayed in felt like a motel 6 in the 70's. The lounge in the lobby is okay and comfortable. My worst experience was dealing with the staff. They were very unfriendly. Being a paying-hotel-guest, this treatment caught me off guard. A young man waiter was rude and later that evening a man in his 30's dressed differently than the other staff yelled at my friend and I for entering the banquet room after dinner and returning for hot tea. People were still eating at the tables. It seemed that he was the manager of the food staff. I was there with a tour group of 40 people and was having a great experience at other hotels until we arrived at this one. Staying at this hotel was my only regret.

The grounds, exterior and location of the this hotel are all wonderful. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the rooms, the food or the overall layout of the hotel. The grounds are stunningly gorgeous. It was too cool for us to enjoy the pool while we were there but it didn't stop us from snapping a group photo with the pools so we could remember the loveliness. There are some very pretty walking paths that we didn't get a chance to check out but looked really nice from our balcony. The exterior of the hotel is very inviting with waterfall sculpture to welcome you. The easy access to the town is a real bonus. We really took advantage and walked into town on multiple occasions. The rooms, however, are in much need of updating. The beds are not particularly comfortable, with old mattresses and bedding. Our rooms were located very far from the lobby and the walk was very long. There was an exterior door near our rooms but they kept it locked. It meant a really long walk every time we went outside and into town. Also, the bank of elevators near our rooms were out of service, making the trek even worse. (We ended up using the stairs most of the time - probably better for us anyway.) We had both a dinner and a breakfast here. Both were sub-par! The dinner in particular was poor. The hotel has great potential but could use some TLC. ur review helps others learn about great local businesses.
