OK for the price
Bed was quite old and uncomfortable. Wifi didn't really work and heater made loud cracking noise all night. The place is old and charming, however i wouldn't stay here again
Like stepping back in time! The hotel is a living museum to the history of the building and the surrounding area. Really enjoyed staying in a hotel that is so rich in character and ambience.
A family run old world hotel with charm, taste and decorum.
Lovely ambiance for those who appreciate something different from modern mass market hotels.
Intelligent english speaking hosts

Great location overlooking the town of Luso
If you're looking for luxury, you won't find it here. This is an old hotel with its own unique character. The beds are hard and the hotel could do with some upgrading, but otherwise it's reasonably comfortable. Towels in the bathroom were paper thin. I found the person at reception somewhat abrupt when we checked in, but the staff in the dining room were very pleasant and accommodating. The grounds are lovely with a nice quiet pool area to relax in.
Overall had a nice hotel stay, great for some fresh air and peace and quiet. Very clean. Free parking. No AC or fan though it was cool enough. Beautiful view of the town. Did not find the bed/pillows very comfortable.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful centrally located hotel with charm.
The staff couldn't speak much English but did their best to communicate with us. So nice to be able to walk to shops and restaurants.
Lovely big pinkish red building overlooking very pretty small resort town, friendly staff, nice rooms, excellent modern bathrooms with a fantastic shower/bath, comfortable, quiet. Lovely local walks in forest. Flowers everywhere. Quiet town famous for its spring waters. Good local restaurant.
