Beautifully restored convent building, peaceful grounds and a large pool. Just right for us having a one night stopover on a cycle trip from Malaga to Lisbon. Friendly staff, great food, for evening meal and a substantial breakfast. Comfy quiet rooms, with good en-suites . Thanks for a lovely stay, and the complimentary glass of Port on arrival was a nice touch 😀

Very hard beds.

Beautiful building nicely renovated for comfort without losing the historic effect. Great breakfast (included). Ideal location in historical center.

Evening menu. We were with 2 friends and none of us keen on the menu. It was exactly the same both nights we stayed. Also my husband had a piece of hard , sharp , pointed plastic in his mushrooms. We told waiting staff , but no apology from restaurant manager/ manager.It could have been extremely dangerous if he had not noticed and had put in his mouth. Beds too hard.

Superb building , using all the various rooms of the original convent

The nice old doors and locks can be noisy when guests are not carefull closing them.

Situated in the heart of the old town within easy walking distance to the castle and quality independent shops. Professional staff and a good breakfast. The room was smallish but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom well appointed. We can recommend A Muralha restaurant 11 mins walk from the Convento.

Our bathroom had a very bad smell of old stagnant waste water coming from the sink.

Good location. Excellent breakfast. Nice view of the garden and pool from the room. Free parking on site.

The bed was a bit small for two people but everything else was great. I would stay there again.

Beautiful property with so much history as a former convent. Nice pool area but we didn’t have time to use it. The breakfast buffet was great and included in our price.

Lack of residents lounge. Big building and needs cosy quiet area. Inner courtyard inside cloister was dirty. Cigarette ends and needed a simple sweep up. Somewhat let the pousada down. Rest ok.

Lovely building and very helpful staff

Beautiful building with wow factor. The scale of the communal rooms were massive. Staff friendly and helpful. Pool and gardens excellent. Food expensive but excellent.

When we arrived the room we were given had an electrical fuse blown but we were given a much better one . The town unfortunately has become VERY rundown and lots of young men roaming around in groups made me feel unsafe.

The room change we were given was excellent and the restaurant was good value

Stayed in September 2023

The internal garden was under renovation.

I believe its the best hotel in the city. The rooms are a bit old, but it's still a great experience because of the historical building, swimming pool and a lot of space and gardens.

Stayed in July 2023

The hotel staff tried their best, but the distance between bar restaurant, and tables was colossal so sometimes difficult to organise warm food. The restaurant tried, but was somewhat poor in its presentation.

This was a traditional convent conversion hotel great to stay in for one night, fabulous building and each bedroom individual experience

Stayed in June 2023

The beds were very hard, no tea and coffee making facilities in the room. We weren’t able to have an evening meal and we not told that you needed to book it beforehand.

The character, peaceful and clean

Stayed in August 2023

Lack of more elevators instead of one and distant. The offered executive room was not suitable for business due to weak lighting, lack of convenient electrical sockets and the narrow office.

Location. Internet and breakfast are good.

Stayed in July 2023

Old furniture, no table nor chair in my room

Great location close to the town center, very clean, great relaxing zone near the pool, comfortable beds, amazing breakfasts

Stayed in July 2023

Outside areas need TLC, grass and flora need to be tidied up, pool area needs cleaning. Booking name the pousada differently, is actually called Pousada Francisco, drove around a couple of times before stopping.

Staff friendly, breakfast very good, room excellent.

Beja is a bit off the usual tourist routes. This hotel is in a beautiful old church/monastery. Breakfast was lovely and the staff very helpful. And, there’s free parking on site.

The historical and u ique building

On one night, only 3 couples were dining, all English speaking. This would be known because prior booking - yet a non English speaking waiter left to cope, which was unfair to him and unsatisfactory for clients. Our choice was supposedly “finished”. Chicken salad contained processed chicken.

It was a reasonably varied breakfast. The bedroom had a pleasant view. It was quiet.

Stayed in April 2023

the bed was very small - a bed of 1,40 is not a bed for a 4 star hotel!!! I wonder if we did not get a single room for a double ?! very bad experience !

very nice property, full of history. the decoration was amazing.
