The Lince Ecorkhotel Évora

Good size

Overall, I had a positive experience during my stay. The pool area offers a beautiful view, as does the breakfast space—both very relaxing places to start the day. The breakfast had a good variety, including both standard options and some local specialties from Évora, like the regional cheese, which was a thoughtful touch. The staff were consistently pleasant and respectful throughout my stay. Even the trainees at the reception were attentive and thoughtful, which stood out in a positive way. Despite some areas for improvement, particularly the spa facilities, the hotel still provides a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere in Évora.

The room could use a few minor improvements. One of the towel hangers in the bathroom was coming loose, and there were some stains on the paint. Additionally, the toilet being positioned directly in front of the bathroom door created a bit of a logistical inconvenience. The spa was quite disappointing. I specifically chose this hotel because of the included spa facilities, but I felt let down. The Turkish bath and sauna were very basic—nothing special—and the indoor pool wasn’t heated, which made it uncomfortable to use. The only redeeming aspect of the spa might be the massage services, which I didn’t try, but they seemed to be the highlight compared to the rest. For a hotel touted as one of the best eco hotels, these minor room issues and the basic spa facilities fell short of expectations and its reputation. Given the overall spa experience, the price of the stay felt a bit on the high side for what was actually offered.

The room (a suite) was big and had a nice terrace. The spa facilities were good.

The place needs an upgrade as it is a bit dated and this can be seen in the room. My suite was quite far from the reception and the car park. The bar and restaurant were not very attractive.

it was ok

rooms/apartments a bit run down
