I rarely leave negative reviews, but our one-night stay was extremely disappointing.

Check-in was officially at 4:00 p.m. We arrived at 3:32 p.m., just 28 minutes early, and were told that if we wanted to check in “early,” we would have to pay an additional €20. Meanwhile, around 15 other guests were waiting in the lobby as well. Instead of starting the check-in process a little earlier or checking guests in progressively, the receptionist waited until exactly 4:00 p.m. before beginning to check everyone in one by one. The result was a very long wait, making the arrival experience frustrating from the start.

Unfortunately, it got even worse the next morning. There was absolutely no water in our room—not a single drop. We couldn’t brush our teeth, wash our faces, take a shower, flush the toilet, or use the bathroom at all. For a hotel stay, having running water is a basic necessity, and this made the end of our stay incredibly inconvenient.

Overall, between the inflexible check-in policy and the complete lack of water the next morning, this was a very disappointing experience. I hope the hotel improves both its customer service and its maintenance because this is not the level of service guests should expect.

The location could not be better. It is minutes from the main square, but tucked away on the side streets and very quiet.
The front desk is super helpful, you get maps, recommendation and a personal, local advice.
Our room had everything we needed for our 3 night trip. Very clean. Nice big window. There was Heating/ cooling unit that we didn’t need to use, but in the middle of the summer, different story.
There is very good local tasca close by. We had our last lunch there, delicious!

Strongly recommend for a few day trip to Évora and around .

Breakfast was an add on that we opted out of, so cannot comment on that. But the location was close to the square and convenient to everything we needed. The hotel is down a very tight alley, so the taxi dropoff and pickup are a bit of a walk to a wider street - this wasn't an issue for us, but note it in case. Would stay again.

Super close to the main centre of town, and quite large room. Thought folks were being picky about complaining about the shower but the water really did run everywhere and I needed two towels to soak up the water after a fairly quick shower. The area initially seemed really quiet as it’s a very small street with seemingly nothing directly nearby, but I kept being woken up between 2-5am by groups of drunk folks walking by singing or talking really loudly. I was woken up at least 4 separate times during that timeframe and I’m usually a fairly heavy sleeper. I imagine this was made worse by the fact that my room was basically a basement, so the window was directly at street level, and since the alley is so small, the noise must just get amplified a ton. This was mid-December when the town seemed pretty dead so I can only imagine it’s much worse during tourist season. Wish there had been a dead bolt or some kind of security feature on the door because some of the drunk groups seemed a little aggressive and as a solo female traveler, would’ve liked a bit more peace of mind on that end, especially since the door itself seemed to almost not fully close (I think this was just the visual design of it, not an actual fault with the closing/locking mechanism, but again, some kind of extra lock would’ve been nice.) Overall fine for a one night stay and ridiculously cheap so can’t complain too much.

Overall, property is great. But we rented a car and it was impossible for us to go through the narrow road at Sharp 90° turn to get to the hotel to unload our luggage. So we had to find a public parking lot where we could park the car overnight, which was another fiasco was more parking lots catered to the residence around them and had very limited overnight parking. We had to do many loops around the inner cities going from parking lot to parking lot until we found one took us over an hour just to find parking. Since we had luggage and it was too far for us to drag the luggage on the cobblestone roads, we had to take an Uber that could get us close to the hotel.. the Uber had the same issue as it could not drop us to front of the hotel because of the narrow 90° sharp turn. There is parking on the main street close to the hotel however it just depends on your luck if you find anything there because that’s what the patron of the local shops along that street use.

Disappointing

Único ponto positivo foi a localização central, para andar a pé. Mas para chegar de carro é horrível!!! A entrada é por uma viela minúscula e quase entalamos a van para virar no final dela. Levamos uns 20 minutos manobrando e rezando. Foi apavorante. No check-in, o primeiro recepcionista foi meio rude e não muito prestativo. Após descarregar as malas tivemos que tirar a van e procurar estacionamento fora das muralhas. O quarto não era no edifício principal do hotel mas sim em outra ruazinha mais adiante. Ficamos no andar de cima e não tinha elevador. Quarto pequeno, bem simples. O colchão não tinha mais que 8cm. A mesinha de cabeceira tombou pois o pé estava quebrado. O único ponto de tomadas no quarto ficava longe da cama. O banheiro era simples e mal conservado, com azulejos quebrados e exaustor barulhento. O Hotel foi uma decepção, muito caro pelo que oferece. Não merece 3 estrelas.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, although there were some issues with the room. Plugging in my phone to recharge caused a circuit breaker to trip and they had to hunt around to find it. Later that evening it happened again as I was reading in bed and then power came back a few minutes later. I got the impression this was a common occurrence. On the second day they forgot to leave me towels after cleaning the room, and there was very limited hot water. It's a basic place with some issues but if you can roll with it, definitely a good bargain for something so central.

I stayed in two Stay Hotels during my travels in Portugal. The staff in this one told me that this hotel has only been a Stay Hotel for a year and it still needed some work to upgrade. This was obvious in the room itself, which although I'd asked for a non-smoking room smelled like smoke and in which the carpet and furniture was not up to the Stay standards I experienced at their Trindade hotel in Porto.

Nonetheless, the hotel is really well located and the perfect spot for an home base to see Evora. They staff were able to answer my questions about what to see and do and to make recommendations on where to find vegetarian food in this very small town.

My one complaint about Stay is that for the price I paid, I would have thought that my breakfast would be included, but it was not and what was offered did not in any way justify the 7 Euros they wanted me to pay.

Stayed in Evora so that we could visit Lisbon by train (although Evora is a very nice place to visit in itself). The hotel couldn't be in a better location - right in the centre. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room clean and comfortable. We had no problem with parking since there were a couple of spaces available. That said - we were there in April so perhaps it's more tricky in high season. Even so there are a few car parks not too far away. We had breakfast at the hotel which was nothing special, but convenient. If you have the time I'd try some of the local restaurants (or pastelarias) for something a bit better. There must be a couple of dozen restaurants within a few minutes walk so you're spoilt for choice for eating in the evening.

The half truth hotel

There is little resemblance between the description and reality.
The hotel claims to have self parking. Well ... they have 9 parking places, way below the number of guests. So they have sent me to park 10 min away.
They also claim to have a lift. Well ... there was no lift in the building I have stayed, so I had to carry my luggage 2 floors up. In case you are wondering- we are 65yr old.
Also the street of the hotel entrance is so narrow that my wife had to help me with the navigation. The marks on the wall show that others had failed there. So be carefull with your rented car.
The highlight was that we have found excrement in the bathroom floor when we entered the room.
To sum up I would suggest avoiding the dissapointment and look for another place.
