Fátima Hostels

We stayed at the Aurea Fátima Hotel as part of a travel package with Exoticaa. This hotel really takes pride in conserving energy. The first thing I noticed when going to my room was that the whole hallway was dark. Like completely dark other than the emergency exit lights! Not exactly what you want to see when you are in a new unfamiliar place. This hotel bills itself as a luxurious 4-star hotel, and it most certainly was not. I don’t know how the other hotels in Fatima look like, but this was definitely not a 4-star hotel. Maybe it was at one point in time? The hallways feature religious figurines in protected display cases in between each of the rooms. As an art lover, I enjoyed this nice touch. But it can be creepy when the hallway is dark and then it lights up and you see these. Upon entering the room there were complementary sweet treats and a bottle of water. A plus in my book, but that’s where it ends. Our black carpet had a large brown stain on it (how can you dirty a black carpet?!). The shower head was cracked and as a result water leaked out all over the bathroom floor. We only stayed here for one night, so I tried to put my blinders on and ignore this. We also had a balcony that overlooked the local bus station. Luckily this is a small town and everything closed around 21:00, so I did not have to worry about the noise. This certainly wasn't the cleanest hotel I've been at, but certainly wasn't the worst. A fellow traveler in our group had an issue with their shower not working in the room. Upon calling reception they unsuccessfully tried to work through the issues on the phone. Someone came up to their room in an effort to assist and found out that the shower was actually not working. As a result they were moved to a new room. Definitely points for quickly resolving the issue. The breakfast buffet is nothing to write home about. They have a lot of space, but not that many breakfast options. They also have a single coffee machine that the employees prefer you not to touch. They have someone standing there manning it acting as coffee police. Very odd. There is a Pingo Doce (supermarket) directly across the street. We didn’t visit it, but it was nice to have. It is also about a 15 minute walk from the Santuário de Fátima and the basilica.

Auf der Suche nach einem kleinen persönlichen Hotel auf der Strecke Richtung Lissabon sind wir per Zufall auf das Luz House gestossen. Wir waren bei der Ankunft sprachlos und überwälltigt. Die Liebe zum Detail ist in allen Ecken spür- und greifbar, das Zimmer war so detailgetreu eingerichtet, dass wir aus dem Staunen nicht mehr hinausgekommen sind. Die Leute sind superfreundlich, es sprüht vor Herzlichkeit. Noch nie im Leben haben wir so ein wunderbares Frühstück genossen,.einfach nur wow und wir haben unsere Seele baumeln lassen. Man möchte dort garnicht mehr weg. Wir kommen wieder und empfehlen es weiter. Vielen Dank für das Erlebnis.

Chose the hotel due to its perfect location but was pleasantly surprised at the super modern facilities, the kindness of the the all the staff. Comfortable bedding, the room décor was modern chic, and very clean. My room faced the square and as a perk, I could hear the bells of the sanctuary and also the mass if I opened the window, such a peaceful view in the morning. I had a buffet at the restaurant (for 18 or19 euro), it not so many dishes but all were delicious, especially the dessert. I was glad that I had dinner there. Their breakfast also has a good selection. The hotel also has a souvenir store right in front, very convenient to get to the evening candle processions and gifts from Fatima. High speed wifi. Overall I'm happy with my stay and I would book this hotel again for my next trip.

Stayed at this hotel as part of a tour. Would highly recommend it. We found the hotel well located with easy access to everything (although it’s a very small town). Everything is clean & modern and service was great. Breakfast area doesn’t start until 7:30am so if you need to leave early like we did may need to consider alternatives. Food was fine, but nothing special. WiFi was fast enough. Lots of people stay here as part of their religious pilgrimage so can only imagine how busy it gets at certain times.

Die Lage war direkt neben der Kathedrale von Fatima, so dass es sehr einfach war, nach der Messe zurückzukehren, und das Personal öffnete die Tür jedes Mal, wenn sie eintraten. Der Parkplatz war direkt vor der Haustür, so dass es sehr bequem war, Gepäck zu tragen und die Einrichtungen waren sehr gut.

Das Hotel wurde kürzlich renoviert, die Zimmer sind sehr komfortabel, einschließlich Betten und Dusche. Kostenlose Parkplätze und in Überfluss, aber nicht abgedeckt. Die Schulungsräume sind sehr gut, komfortabel und klimatisiert. Sie hat eine wunderschöne Kapelle. Das Frühstück hat gute Vielfalt und Qualität. Sehr erfahrenes und anständiges Personal. Ich werde sicherlich Freunde und Familie empfehlen!

Spent 5 days at this hotel. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay. The hotel itself was tidy and fresh and our room was cleaned every day. Breakfast was delicious and freshly served and was included as part of the package. The hotel is around a 10 to 15 minute walk from Our Lady of Fatima Sanctuary and only 5 minutes from the start of the Way of Cross. ALDI and other convenience stores are also nearby. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you plan to visit the sites of Fatima!

This is a mixed review. We have returned from a week's stay. When we arrived at hotel all seemed OK until the 'group' got their rooms. The rooms were appalling. They do not reflect what is on the website, apparantly these rooms are for paying individuals but the groups get the 'classic' rooms. When I went to complain, many others were there too. The bathroom was totally inadequate and the shower was so old it soaked the entire bathroom. After a while the manager told me that there was one modern room left and I have to say this room was gorgeous! We thought it was perfect until we came home one day to find a leak at the aircon. Reception already knew about this when I reported it (although I was unaware continuing to use aircon). I had to be sharp to get a maintenance man to the room. When he did appear the water gushed out of the unit and ceiling. Thankfully he was able to stop the drip (towel stuffed up aircon-probbaly catching the drip). To, be fair we were offered a new room but I didn't want to leave. Rooms were spotlessly clean but this service was hit and miss - some days it was clean after breakfast and other days still not cleaned/fresh towels at 7pm. Waiting staff fantastic but most of the dinners were very poor. One evening the chicken curry can only be described as a dogs dinner. If you get chicken for lunch you will get the remainder bones and guts included for dinner 🤢 Groups are treated like 2nd class citizens in this hotel and I would reccomend anyone planning pilgrimages not to use it. The groups got different breakfasts while 'paying' guests got better food. The waiting staff would actually tell you ' you can't have that, that's for the other guests' All good is buffet style and it is replenished but very repetitive and I would say Only enjoyed 2meals the entire week. The free wine and tea/coffee is a nice touch. Elsa and carrina the 2 JWT tour guides were amazing.. Nothing was too much trouble and believe me we had alot of issues at times. They were the best tour guides I have ever had and I have been on 30+ pilgrimages. Steyler hotel need to stop false advertising their hotel.. Rooms with balconies are not even available yet advertised. Pool is not opened. This is not a 4 star hotel. One part of it may be but the other part looks like a hostel.

I stayed one night at the Mercure hotel in Fátima. I was greatly impressed with hotel's excellent location, high quality services, and excellent cuisine. The staff is very friendly, efficient and professional, always eager to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Very nice décor overall and very comfortable rooms. An excellent experience. From now on this will be my hotel in Fátima. I strongly recommend it.
