"Front desk are super helpful and cheerful. Excellent service. Hotel accommodation itself is decent enough. Buffet breakfast is ok. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. Steak was really good. Staff are very nice. All in all I would recommend this place."

"It was my first time to choose Paradors. The feeling of staying there was great. Although I arrived a little early, I was still able to check in early. The restaurant was great. Because it was raining, we also had dinner in the hotel restaurant. The scenery in the restaurant was beautiful and the food was delicious. It was also great to enjoy the beautiful scenery while eating. The room was very warm. Although it was raining, the room did not feel cold. The TV can watch YouTube and can be connected to the phone for projection. The Wi-Fi was also very stable, but unfortunately we didn't use the swimming pool on the day of check-in because it rained."

"Good service. Rooms with all amenities. A good choice for breakfast too, and very inexpensive. I would recommend it for a couple of days. Very close to the old town, about 200 meters away. Excellent. Check-out was also very quick."

"i must admit i don't get some of the reviews unless my room (302) was renovated.hotel lara doesn't look so good from the outside but inside was a different story. considering i finished my walk for the day very early my room was ready,lifts to all floors,my room was large and looked very smart and had a double bed,good storage space,mini fridge,safety deposit box,free water and coffee facilities,one tidy bathroom with a great shower,throw in a huge balcony which got a lot of sun and was over looking part of the forte and this was one of the best 3 star hotel i have ever stayed in."

"We were passing through and needed a room without many pretensions. We were pleasantly surprised by the kindness of the host, the comfort and tranquility of the place. Our room was cozy, quiet and comfortable. The pity is that we were passing through, the weather was bad and we barely enjoyed the views. We hope to return with better weather"

"On arrival we discovered this pousada is a franchise and not fully part of the Pestana group. So, no Pestana points for a stay here. Hadn’t noticed that explained anywhere on the Pestana website. The location within the old fort is unbeatable with some rooms having views across the river to Tui in Spain. Our superior room with balcony was spacious and well decorated. Bed and bedding were both good. Bathroom was clean and spacious although it’s the only Pousada we’ve stayed at with a plastic shower curtain rather than glass screen. Also only soap, no body lotion or other toiletries provided, no bathrobes etc. Breakfast had considerably fewer options than other Pousadas and no staff regularly monitoring and topping up but there were very few staff and few guests. Reception and other staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is apparently in a transition phase so the bar and restaurant were also closed on some days. If these things are important to you, check before booking. Overall, the hotel seemed comparatively overpriced and very understaffed. Not a special stay"

"Great hotel 1. Dog-friendly (we were with a big dog :). 2. Huge parking. 3. We took half-board — breakfast and dinner. Dinner is a la carte from 20:30 to 22:30. You choose starter + main course + dessert, plus a glass of wine/beer/water is included. Everything was very tasty! We also had lunch in the restaurant once — the food was always fresh, big portions, and very fast service. 4. Very friendly staff. 5. Clean rooms and common areas. We didn't hear the neighbors at all, even though the hotel was almost full. 6. The Deluxe room is very big. The photos only show the bathtub in the room, but there is also a shower. Also, the Deluxe room had a fridge. Minuses: only private houses nearby, no other cafes around, but we knew this when we chose the hotel :)"

"This was booked as part of a tour. I was walking the Camino. Even though the town of Oia had absolutely nothing to do in it as the church and convent were under renovation, I enjoyed staying and relaxing here after my walk. My large, quiet room 104 had a nice view of the water. I decided to dine at the hotel in the evening and was glad I did. The 14E meal was pleasant. I started off with eggs and local ham and then had pork with mushrooms and rice pudding for dessert. I could feel the care people put into this sweet place."

"I was a little disappointed, the first time was great. I'll think about whether I come back or not."
