New Year welcomed in at Tavira
Beautiful quiet town of Tavira in Portugal, located next to the river front, plenty of restaurants to choose from and a fantastic fire work display to welcome in the new year.

Advertised free parking was not on property. Free parking is 200 meters away in a public parking lot. No hot water for showers. Other than that the hotel was clean, quaint, nice attached restaurant and comfortable bed.

The reception people were not friendly or welcoming. Found it noisy as directly in front of island ferry. Room was stuffy but door windows opened. Toilet would tip over I told woman receptionist but she did nothing. Shower leaked and didn’t drain so had to stand in murky water. Beds comfortable. Sister booked to stayed in a different room and left immediately, it was a closet with window overlooking lane way and Indian food wafted in. Our room overlooked river but it was chilly and our side got no sun so we’re sort of were cold the whole time. Great location for ferry. Parking a block or so away in public lot. Not easy to find the place. Google maps was lost too. Make sure to have phone calling available to you. Breakfast was good and servers were lovely. Place needs a deep cleaning imho. Reception should try to smile.

Good value for money
Lovely weekend stay which offers very good value for money. Very good breakfast which even offered a lovely smoothie bowl. Good location close to everything but lovely and quiet. Friendly staff. Bathroom was very basic but powerful and hot shower. Bed very comfy. Air con was noisy but I can imagine this is unavoidable and did not hinder our sleep. Would stay again.

Great location along the river right across from the ferry to the main beach. Lots of great restaurants and good shopping. Only about a 10 minute walk from the main tourist attractions. Very pretty city with lots of character. All the staff at this property were outstanding and seemed to really enjoy what they did. They also served a great breakfast.

Expedia said onsite parking but did not exist. Google maps takes you to alley in back of building but no marking on building and you cannot enter. Lost for a while. No elevator so a haul. Staff friendly and restaurant was very good.

Stayed one night with my husband. Had the perfect view of the beautiful town of Tavira from our second floor, riverfront balcony. Also had a wonderful view of the sunrise over the river from here before walking out to the salt pans to see the flamingos. Many great restaurants and attractions very close. Walked everywhere easily. Room amenities were as advertised and very good. Parking was available a short distance from the property but we were able to unload and load luggage at the door. Breakfast was very good with all of the usual items available. Front desk staff were excellent and very friendly.

Where do I start, couldn't fault this hotel. Perfect in every way. On arrival staff charming and helpful. Room, facilities and breakfast all outstanding. You can tell the owners truly care about their hotel and your experience while staying there. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again and happily recommend it to others visiting Tavira.
