Holiday Inn Express Évora, an IHG Hotel

The hotel was placed right outside the old city walls, with relatively short distance to several facilities and historical locations. Although the pool was closed during my stay, one could get a good impression of how it would be during summertime. Also, it is a big plus in my book that it was possible to sneak into the restaurant to operate the coffee machine outside of closing time. It was probably not allowed though! Another big plus in my book is both the good service I got from the receptionist, and the room was excellent for doing remote work due to the size and placement of the table. I had no issue with the WiFi either - although I did not do any stresstest, just the usual videocalls and online work.

The staff were super, Hernandes provided us with excellent service, helped us with restaurant bookings and flight check-in. Location just outside the old town was perfect, easy to find parking. The food in the restaurant was surprisingly delicious. Breakfast was very good too. Room was clean and comfortable.

Very good location, near the city gate (outside the gate, but that's good, if you have a car). You could park car in front of the hotel, on the street or in the underground car parking. City centre is less than 10 min. on foot. Very new hotel with all modern equipment, big room, nice shower, very good breakfast. So, it was the best hotel during my trip in Alentejo (among 7 or 8 others). My recommendations.

Honestly, one of the best hotels I’ve been in. It’s all new so it’s super nice and clean. The bedrooms are small but just enough. Very comfortable bed, great bathroom and a huge tv. The breakfast was great for me, it had everything a normal breakfast has. It’s close to the city centre and there’s plenty of space to park even outside the hotel (if not in the front, in the back of it).

Good location, easy parking in the street, staff were very polite and happy to help. The room was spacious and well equipped with good fixtures and fittings. The room was quiet.
