O Catraio — Hotel in Montijo

The bed was ok, I slept very well, its my positive impression. My room was very spartan, OK it is a pension, but a small refrigerator could fit in. There was zero option to have a meal, not even a chocolate. No breakfast, no other meals. The floor - old, wooden copy - is extremely old and is cracked all over. There were no extra blankets, night had only 13 degrees so it had been nice with a blanket, however, the staff gave me a blanket after I asked the next morning. The shower cabin was the smallest I ever used, 60x60cm. Even though there is enough space to install a larger cabin so even a normal man can enjoy e descent shower (forget this if you are overweighted, you have no possibility to enter the cabin). There were only one bed lamp and the room had only one free power outlet. A small desk with a chair would have been great. The entrance stair is really dangerous, its very easy to slip and get injured. The door had a slit of about 2-3 mm which meant that cigarette smoke was sucked in from the street, up via the entrance, further through the corridor and into my room which was furthest away from the entrance.

The best was that the parking was just beside the pension. Most stores in surrounding areas do not accept credit cards so prepare yourself with a bunch of Euros. Note: It is not a hotel,...

Montijo is known for its traditional countryside values, with its bulfights, pig farms, etc... Nowadays the Mayor promotes several festivals throuhout the year, from Medieval exhibitions, to the really well known "Festas do Montijo", a whole week of partying around the 29th of June, Day of St Pedro, with funfairs and the highlight being bulls released on the streets every day, for the famcy of the...

The hotel is more and hostel than an hotel. A lot of the rooms have the bathroom in common, and the few that has the private one has very few comfort: be prepare you will not find the shampoo, the soap or other bath tools only the towels.||Inside the room has only a light socket and is not near the bedside.||The mattress has the springs and we found it uncomfortable like the cuscion.||The cleaning and the forniture are not the best, and the reception talks only in portuguese.||The hotel is near the harbour and sometimes you smell a really bed fishy.||They demand the payment in advance, at the check in.||The good points are that the position is near the bus station and the center (even the night center so be carefull if you are looking for...
