I can't recommend the hotel but the location is quite handy. We arrived by bus, which stopped just a five minute walk away and the tourist information center is also close. We took a taxi for about 6 euro to see the prehistoric art and museum and then we left by train, which cost about 8 euro by taxi.||||We paid 60 euro a night for this hotel, which is actually on the high end of what we paid in Portugal, as we always stay in budget friendly places. The value for the stay was not great---the room is basic and clean, but they seem to do the bare minimum to make the room pleasant. We stayed two nights but our room was not cleaned the second day and since there was only one trash can our trash was overflowing. The bed was not comfortable. The shower was hot with plenty of water pressure but if you used the water at full volume water would not drain properly. Breakfast was good with a fresh pastry, scrambled eggs and quality coffee. ||||The worst part of the hotel is the staff. The woman who checked us in at night was downright surly.

Read moreThis is a nice, small hotel. The interior is quite modern, very clean, above what we have expected in a small town. The staff speaks little bit of French and English. They were very helpful, I would stay at this hotel again, without reservations. It is a short drive from the archaeological site, which is an advantage, as this is a mountainous area and any distance means quite a bit of driving time. There is also a tourist information office in the town, not far from the hotel. There are numerous small restaurants near by.||The best way to make a reservation is to send them an e-mail and one of the English speaking staff will get back to you in a couple of days. The price was very affordable and there is...

Service is friendly but don’t expect much English.||We had an adequate room with a large balcony with table (no chairs), good twin-beds, wardrobe & safe, TV, and small bathroom with washbasin, toilet & shower.
