I was late one night and they were really kind to cancel my first night. I was coming by bike and stucked in Abrantes. I really appreciated their kindness. Accomodation is very comfortable, clean and nice.

it is near a supermarket, Lidl. As we were only stopping over at Castelo Branco, Horta d'Alva served our needs very well as we need not be in the city centre. It is a short drive to the gardens in Castelo Branco and the Forum shopping centre

Breakfast was always amazing, they amended the breakfast time for us because we were checking out early, never left on an empty stomach. I actually ate 21 crossaints without anyone saying I can't. Cleaners were spot on and had a very friendly approach along with the hotel staff

We didn't like the breakfast - there was very little to choose from and almost no fresh fruit. You get such great coffee in the town but the coffee in the hotel was poor in comparison.
The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location and the room was absolutely lovely.

The bread for breakfast was the cheapest you can get, rolls full of air!
It was comfortable and quiet, with very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms had everything you need, I especially liked being able to make tea or coffee 24/7 in the hotel kitchen, where there were always slices of cake available!

“I would stay here again, but opt to eat breakfast out as the options are very limited!”

It was quite noisey in terms of other guests slamming doors and talking loudly in the hallway outside rooms. The cleaner did not clean my room daily and in the morning at 7:30am would cough loudly and be baging the broom and mop around with no concern to disturbing guests. Tv could do with lowering as its nearly on the ceiling! Breakfast was limited and not satisfactory to be honest. Croissants were package store bought so not the flaky fresh type. Coffee was terrible. From both machines! Continental breakfast at best. Shame as it let the place down. AC worked fine for cold air but did not work for heat which made the room cold at night Other than this, the hotel was a good experience, the staff were extremely friendly and polite!
The shower was brilliant and water was always hot when needed. Wifi worked brilliantly and consistently. Good location in Castelo Branco and not far from centre. Top marks for the staff!
