Noble House Essence Évora - by Unlock Hotels

Noble House Essence Évora - by Unlock Hotels

10/10 Excellent
"The room was wonderful.! We had the Cathedral room with the Cathedral literally across the street framed in our windows. It was beautiful! We loved going up the spiral staircase to our room. The rooftop terrace was a great surprise. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. It would be difficult to get to this room for someone with physical limitations. The kitchen was good to have but could use more supplies. The apartment was located in the old walled section of Evora and walkable to all the town sights. There are about 6 parking spots. If you arrive early and can get one of the spots it makes things a lot easier if you have a car. I would love to stay there again and highly recommend it."

"This hotel is a gem. The rooms are huge! Beds are comfy! They have an onsite infinity pool that provides a great view of the city with wonderful places to sit all over. There is a lovely sauna that is perfect after a day of walking around the historic city. All of the must sees are within a 2-10 minute walk. Close enough to all of the attractions but far enough from the university which gets hopping when the sun goes down. The breakfast was very good. My only regret - staying only one night."

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and tidy cosy little flat. We had the flat 001, which as is own entrance at number 54, separate from the 52. The outside swimming pool looked lovely, unfortunately wasn't hot enough to enjoy it. Everything in the flat was perfect, even a washing/ drying machine. Which with little ones is a plus.. The only downside would be the noise of the guests of the other rooms. And the cars and people outside. You can ear them very well, like they are next to you... But that wasn't a reason to reduce my review. Check in / out was fast and easy. It's a great location, walking distance to everywhere around Evora. "
