ADC - Albergaria Do Calvário - by Unlock Hotels

Likes: Loved the nice room we had had which has a separate seating room with two tvs- one in bedroom and seating room; bed was comfortable and we had nice sheets and comforter, courtyard and main rooms of hotel were charming; nice to get bottle water in a room as complimentary; nice hot shower. They helped us find a local wine tour guide which we really appreciated Dislike: a small part of the floor in our room was discolored as it looked like the refrigerator may have leaked in a past and wish they had repaired it as room was charming and large and was very nice except for this.

We stayed at the Albergaria for several nights in the first half of April, 2024. We loved our stay there. The room, which had a sitting area, was spacious. Our room was on the ground floor, we heard zero noise from overhead. The decor of the hotel is comfortable and charming; many of the items in the lobby are from the area. The breakfast was excellent, as was the service. The staff was unfailingly courteous and helpful; we would note especially the crew of new employees under training at reception and filling guests' requests. They were attentive and above average. We did drive to the hotel. We never had a problem finding a spot downstairs in the hotel's parking garage (11 spots). Note it was early April, so low tourist season. The hotel is located in the northern half of the historic center of Evora. To get down to the true historic center and the shops is a not a difficult or far walk for most people. Restaurants not far from the Albergaria, all of which were wonderful: The Lombardo, O Trovador, Fialho, the Taskinha. We eat gluten-free; most restaurants were alergies-aware. The maitre-d at the Trovador was tops. If you can make it to the mountain castle of Monsaraz, fabulous!

This is good, simple hotel with beautiful lounge zone, nice staff and “Evora atmosphere”.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Gave us great restaurant recommendations and highlites to see while we were in Evora. We asked to get our laundry done in a fairly short period of time and they were able to accommodate us.

Underground car parking within the city walls at €10 per day was great value. The staff gave us a history lesson when we checked in and advised us where to visit as it was a Sunday which was very much appreciated. The hotel is a lovely old historic building. We had a prestige room which was very good. The staff also recommended restaurants for dinner and made a reservation for us. We ate at Lombardo which was very good.
