Old Evora Hostel — Hotel in Évora

The place has bedbugs, they know it, lie about it and give you bedrooms that are infested! Do not go there.

When we arrived, we were supposed to have two bedrooms with a double bed, but it got changed because "some student had requested for a new night" we got the a four bed dorms, it was a very simple double bulk bed without natural light, the place seem neglected, shower was dirty, fridge was old and heater were rusty.

At ten pm, we were about to sleep when we saw bedbugs walking on the wall, I got bitten once. We left the room, got our money back and had to sleep in our car.

The worse is the attitude of the manager who told us he did not know there was bedbugs in our room, when we found comment on the another comment that had bedbugs in the very same room three weeks before (top floor), a treatment was supposed to have been done, but given the number of bedbugs we found, and how confortable to appear with light on, I suppose is a lie.

The manager told us to find another room, at 10pm, and did not even want to pay 10€ to cover for cleaning our clothes.

We met an old Pilgrim hiker; he has been walking for the past 25 years through Europe, Africa, SW Asia, and Central and South America. In offering him a night in the Old Evora Hostel, we were on the receiving end of our gift. A roof, bed, shower, and laundry were all available at the hostel. When we arrived, we met Mafalda at the reception desk. She was invaluable, giving us all a tour and assuring the Pilgrim that food left behind by others was available in the fridge. She showed our new friend genuine kindness and consideration. He expressed his gratitude to all of us, though Mafalda’s kindness multiplied our small generosity many times. The joyful and engaging fellow Pilgrim was living his life by choice. Mafalda was gracious in her assistance and took the time to treat the Pilgrim with respect and compassion. We have a lifetime memory of her and the Pilgrim sharing the dignity of each other’s presence. Thank you, Mafalda, for an uplifting moment from your good nature and kind spirit. You are one of a kind and will...
