Grande Hotel de Luso

Sehr ruhiges Hotel Trotz des prächtigen Gebäudes sind alle Mitarbeiter sehr nah am Gast und kümmern sich um deren Glück. Diesmal übernachtete ich in einem Superiorzimmer mit großen Fenstern, der Raum und das direkte Licht der Toilette sind ganz nach Ihrem Geschmack. Das Restaurant bietet ein ausgewogenes Buffet, ein exquisites Frühstück und alles, was das Herz begehrt. Restaurantservice und ordentliches Frühstück. Das Personal an der Rezeption zeichnet sich durch hervorragende Professionalität und eine sehr freundliche Einstellung aus. ich empfehle

This Grande Hotel is indeed grande! It is superbly maintained for a structure built in 1908. I stayed one night on a solo trip; it was definitely one of the best in Portugal. They have giant pools, both outdoor and (heated) indoor. The dinner was excellent and suprisingly reasonable. The bed was comfy and the parking was free. It's only got one elevator that I could see, but it was quick and quiet. The price in April was incredibly cheap! I had room and half board for under 100 Euros! It's a bit hard to get to, as it's about 18 km from Coimbra, mainly on back roads. You should try this place, I loved it!!!!

Amazing location, easy access, comfortable and quite rooms, plenty of activities on the premises and within. Delicious Portuguese cuisine, great wine selection and of course a friendly staff to ensure you an unforgettable experience. Fully recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The hotel is really well situated, hotel swimming pools were amazing, the hotel breakfast was very impressive.

As part of an organized group tour, we stayed here for one night. To me, it felt like the best days of this hotel are passed. The room felt a bit dingy. Humidity was high during our stay and the room had a certain smell. Beds were hard. Dinner was really not great but the breakfast was fantastic. There wasn't much to do or see in the small town. We walked to the spring of S. Joao but that was about all we could do. Didn't bring swim wear.

Excellent hotel - spotlessly clean Staff very helpful and friendly Wide choice of foods at buffet breakfast Gardens and locality are stunning

I love a thermal experience which is why we booked this hotel. I thought from the website and stuff they sent it might be an old fashioned spa hotel but that is not the case. The building is old but the inside has been refurbished and the attached Thermes are very modern indeed, at least the treatment areas are. It is true that the prevailing colour scheme in the hotel is brown, but it is well furnished and spacious, the rooms and the common areas alike. There are several lounge areas you can sit in, an Olympic size outdoor pool (just a bit chilly when we were there but lovely to sit round) and a fantastic indoor pool which is just beautiful. We had a standard room which was fine, in fact it was on the north side of the hotel without a balcony but that meant the room stayed cool which is a good thing. The rooms have decent lighting, a fridge and a safe but lack tea making facilities. It was comfortable and quite well soundproofed, you couldn’t hear people walking up and down or slamming room doors. Until night 2 when the chap next door made a very loud phone call at 11.00 at night and was shouting... Small complaint – the shower screen didn’t fit properly and it was hard to have a shower without making the floor very wet. There also weren’t enough hooks or racks for all the towels – bath towels, robe and swimming towels. Breakfast was generous and relaxed, you could go whenever you wanted and no-one was taking room numbers. There was a decent coffee machine but the hot food was not all very warm. Luso is only a little place but it has quite a lot of places to eat, and it is possibly to walk in the Bussaco national forest but it is a very steep walk up steps from the town and the map the tourist office give you is not very accurate so we got a lost a few times.

We wouldn't go back because the breakfast was not good. Scrambled eggs OK, watermelon, presunto (raw ham) ... Rest of the hot breakfast other than eggs seemed heated up bulk buy ready prepped, coffee not good, juice not good, fruit rough cut, some of the nuts stale. The indoor pool is amazing, was totally ours at 9am, 30 degrees, beautiful. Make sure you bring a swimming hat, obligatory, typically in Portugal, they sell them at the general hotel reception, where you also have to collect swimming towels. Rooms a sort of masculine design, not beautiful, comfortable and functional. Disabled wheelchair access steep and in places little turning space. Staff mixed, some delightful, some rude.
