Casa Melo Alvim - by Unlock Hotels

This hotel is magnificent! We were immediately pleased walking into the lovely, spacious lobby, greeted by a very friendly staff member, who explained the facilities to us. Our room was beautifully decorated, with a comfotable bed, chairs and tables, and a separate sitting area with a sofa. The bathroom was also spacious and very nice. In addition, there's an interesting and inviting library with a number of seating areas and game tables. Each floor also has beautiful seating spaces. Breakfast each day was a delight as well. The concierge staff were extremely helpful, beyond what we would have expected. We would happily stay in this hotel whenever possible.

The hotel is beautifully restored with such care and attention to detail. From the moment that you arrive the service is excellent. The staff were friendly and professional but particular compliments to the concierge who was excellent - warm, welcoming, attentive, kind. He enhanced our experience. The hotel happily stored our bicycles in a secure location and the concierge worked to ensure that we had all that we needed. Check in was seamless. The bedrooms were beautiful, very comfortable and clean. The breakfast service was top notch, again a very professional and attentive staff taking care of service. I will most certainly come back again and would happily recommend to anyone visiting. Excellent experience.

Fantastic welcome …. beautiful location and wonderful breakfast. From the moment we arrived after a very long walk on the Camino, we were made feel so welcome by the lovely Gentleman on reception. He was one of the kindest and sweetest Portuguese people we met on our trip. Breakfast was fabulous and they even organised to have it earlier for us as we had an early start. We had the most delicious fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, pastries etc and couldn’t fault it. Would highly recommend

Great location for this stylish hotel. Old building converted with taste. Nice touch of mid century design furniture in the Nordic tradition... Hans Wegner would be feeling right at home.! Good bed and big bathroom. Has an elevator..!

Very centrally located, right by the station but very quiet inside. Gorgeous historic features such as stone staircases and high ceilings. Good sized bathroom. The buffet breakfast was very good, with a variety of fresh products and cooked options. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is useful underground parking in nearby car park, although you have to pay for it. Our room was huge with a carved ceiling and views across the street.
