Pousada de Évora, Convento dos Lóios

Great breakfast in a beautiful archway. Location in the historic center. Parking possibilities beside the hotel.

Great location and helpful staff.

Beautiful setting and historical building, just in the center of Évora. Very polite, friendly and smiling employees! The room was clean and fresh; there were two welcome glasses of liqueur (poejo liqueur) and homemade butter biscuits - a nice touch. Breakfast was delicious. Bar was nice and cozy (congratulations to the bar tender - my gin was magnificient). Check-in and check-out straightforward.

The room (the old cell of a monk, as the hotel is built on what used to be a convent) was rather small, but functional. Room door had very little insonorization. No magnifying mirror. No lift (although there's only one flight of stairs and an employee helped us with our luggage when we checked-in). The two dinner experiences we had were disappointing (the service was nice, but the dishes lacked the quality and creativity of what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel); the wine card was not bad. Parking space is very small, but we left our car key to the reception and they took good care of it. Bar could benefit from a larger selection of cocktails.
