Princesa do Gilão

My room is small but efficient & clean. Lovely little balcony. I'm only staying one night so didn't worry about the view. Street construction made it challenging to get to. A tip: you have to put your key card in the little receptacle by the door to turn on all electrical. don't sleep on the Gelato store in the building.... great Gelato and ice cream and they have gluten-free cones and vegan cones!

Great clean and nice hotel. Fantastic location lovely town. The big room had a great view. We come back one day

Great Value Stay with Outstanding Service This is a simple hotel, but everything works well and it has been recently renovated. The highlight of our stay was Maria, the afternoon receptionist — truly OUTSTANDING. Having worked in hotel networks ourselves, we can confidently say she is ready for an international hotel role. Friendly, helpful, and assertive, she delivered the best check-in experience we’ve had, along with attentive support throughout our stay. Breakfast is solid (4/5). I only missed a hot protein option, but for €10 it’s excellent value. Parking is straightforward — cheap street parking is available, or you can use one of the hotel’s limited free spots. The location couldn’t be better: right across the bridge from the boats to the island, and within walking distance of downtown bars, fairs, and restaurants. Would happily stay again! Pontos de melhoria no período da manhã : É um hotel familiar , as senhorinhas são muito simpaticas, mas em alguns momentos membros da familia se deslocam sem uniforme e conversam muito alto; e se perde um pouco a hospitalidade esperada num hotel com hospedes na sua frente.

We recently spent 9 nights at this hotel and couldn’t fault it. Excellent location close to everything. The hotel is spotless and staff very friendly and helpful. We had a room (202) overlooking the river and the views were magnificent, even at night when everything was lit up. There is some outdoor seating and coffee available all day in the foyer. We would have no hesitation returning on our next visit to Tavira.

We spent 9 nights at this hotel and couldn’t fault it. The location is excellent on the river bank with beautiful views if you book a room at the front. There are lots of restaurants within a few minutes walk. The old town is right behind the hotel and the ferry to Ilha Tavira is just across the bridge. It’s a short walk to the bus station and slightly further (and mostly uphill) to the train station. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. In fact the hotel throughout was kept beautifully clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is coffee available in the foyer during the day.Breakfast is perfect….. everything really fresh. This is a lovely hotel and we would stay again without hesitation.

Fabulous little hotel right on the water. Spectacular river views especially at night when the bridge is lit up. Friendly bilingual staff. Super clean and quiet. Breakfast was very nice, good selection. A twenty minute boat ride to the beach. Everything is within walking distance, several restaurants and shops. An added bonus to this hotel, there is a small bar where you can buy very reasonable beer and wine, you could sit at the tables (with umbrellas) outside. Would definitely return.

This is a nice no frills hotel in a great position on the river bank. Very close to all the restaurants and cafes in Tavira and just across from the ferry stop for the Island of Tavira. |I had a triple room (104) overlooking the rear so no view but looking at the floor plan it’s the bigger family rooms that face the front. |The bed was comfortable and the air con worked well. |Mostly it was quiet and I hardly heard other occupants. |The TV in the room had BBC news but no others. |Only a couple of sockets in the room and only one in between the two beds. |Nice walk in shower. Good size bathroom. Toiletries provided were sachets of shower gel and shampoo. |Friendly staff. |I had the breakfast one day for €10. It was a selection of different breads, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, hams and cheeses and hot drinks. |A nice hotel which served a purpose for a few days in Tavira.

A great place to stay in an ideal location, only 300m or so from the Roman Bridge and with lovely river views (book a room at the front). Comfortable rooms (we stayed in two different ones), good value, and reasonable breakfasts (included if you book direct, extra if you book through booking.com). Limited free parking next door too (first come first served) - a definite bonus so close to the centre. Highly recommended.
