Longroiva Hotel Rural

Hotel perfeito para uma escapadinha romântica!

Estadia muito agradável

We stayed at Longroiva Rural Hotel as we wanted to be close to Côa Parque to see the Paleolithic engravings. The hotel surpassed our expectations. We stayed in a deluxe suite which was exceptionally comfortable. The restaurant was really good - the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The heated pool with spa jets was great. The hotel arranged a taxi service to pick us up at Pocinho station and take us to the archeological park.

Spa hotel. Beautiful building. Very ecological. Outdoor swimming pool. Big and very comfortable room. Great breakfast and dinner. Beautiful surroundings. Great for families and children. We found the restaurant a bit cold and would suggest a more cozy room for dinners.

It is a nice looking design hotel and very well located for those visiting the ‘gravuras’ in Foz Coa, but it was considerably bellow my expectation for a 4 star rated hotel: - The reception staff is not very helpful or nice - every single request or question seems to be a nuisance. - It very much feels like the ‘eco-hotel’ label is actually an excuse to lower the standard - for example, providing only one bottle of water for 2 days and 3 people;, or not providing swimming pool towels is not acceptable at this level and, because people will then sit directly on the sun loungers, it’s quite unhygienic (I would be ok with having to pay a fee if we misplaced or damaged a towel). - The restaurant staff doesn’t seem to be trained. Some are very nice and helpful, but still they lack training. - The restaurant food is average. - Laundry prices are abnormally high. - We stayed in a bungalow in the back of the main building and were not impressed - the back entrance through the Termas building is a bit run down (a lot of wild grass growing everywhere), the wood in the bungalows was peeling off (they had someone trying to fix it) and the rooms have a lot of IKEA items (unimportant but still unimpressive…). - The pool water was soup hot - bacteria, algae and other organisms thrive under warm water conditions… not the best feeling… Hardly a 4 star hotel… apart from the price…

I was leery of this place because of the reviews. But, was pleasantly surprised with a lovely room with a beautiful view. Super clean and comfortable. The food was delicious and the pool is a dream - half spring water and warm, with a variety of whirlpool like “stations”. The staff was extremely nice. The hotel is about a half hour to the archeological park. All of this for a very inexpensive stay. Definitely recommend.
