Search Best Hotels in Luso

This was our first visit to Northern Portugal and we arrived there very late. We discovered at the airport the car hire company we had booked through did not exist. It took us a while to sort and although I'm sure it was an inconvenience the Hotel were very helpful and Nuno took our calls so we were very appreciative. This is an old style hotel full of antiques and curiosities and so interesting to look around! The breakfast room is full of clocks! Our bedroom was lovely we had a balcony to the front so we had a beautiful view all over the town of Luso. The bed was super comfortable with clean bathroom. Breakfast was a mixture of some cooked food and some breads and cereals it would have been nice to have a little more fresh fruit and muesli type cereals. We sat outside a few mornings and it is really beautiful surroundings. The gardens and pool are beautiful, lovely to relax at the pool or in the hammocks. We found it disappointing that there was no pool bar or bar option for lunch, we had to walk into the town anytime we wanted food or drink. The town of Luso is only a few minutes walk and it is really beautiful. It's very obvious that it has suffered greatly from the pandemic so hopefully tourists will return as it is such a little gem. Restaurants are few but we ate out locally every night and the food was really excellent. The Palace and Forest of Bussaco are also within walking distance although a little more challenging as uphill but it is really lovely to get to and to walk around. You can spend a lot of time around the area if you enjoy hiking and walking. Very restful break in a beautiful spot, it us old worldly and like stepping back in time. Lovely stay.

Very quiet hotel. Despite the magnificent building, all the staff are very close to the guests and care about their happiness. This time I stayed in a superior room with large windows. The area and direct light of the toilet are all you like. The restaurant offers a balanced buffet, exquisite breakfast and everything you want. Restaurant service and decent breakfast. The reception staff have excellent professionalism and a very friendly attitude. I recommend

Hotel familiar, num edifício de arquitetura do início dos anos 20 do século passado, a dois passos das famosas termas do Luso. Quartos espaços e camas super cómoda, com vista deslumbrante para a serra do Bussaco. Tudo super limpo e arrumado, aliás, como todos os espaços. O generoso buffet, com receitas assentes na cozinha do baixo Vouga, oferece variedade entre peixe da costa de Aveiro, e as carnes da Mealhada. O pátio emoldurado por nogueiras centenárias, dá acesso à piscina, para uns belos banhos de sol, com o cheiro puro do campo e da serra ali ao lado. Claro que não podia falta a experiência do spa termal, a visita ao parque da vila, e claro ao parque ecológico do Bussaco e à Quinta da Lágrimas. Ótimo lugar para umas repousantes férias em família!

It is a travel in time. Literally. Building is a jewel, truly extraordinary, in good shape. Common areas are in good shape yet a bit dated and lack decent lightning. it’s shame Bedrooms though are less than a 3 stars. All is BAD except the linen; lack of furniture; no tv channels; terrible lightning; it’s unexplainable. Bathroom is spacious and from the 1970s but I liked it very much design wise. The attitude of staff is VERY weird, as if everyone knew something is wrong. We arrived in a rainy evening. The check In person was nice but seemed lost or that he had drunk too much. Unclear. We had dinner and breakfast there. The price of wines is a scandal. Absurd. Food was ok, also overpriced. The hotel is clearly understaffed in order to be kept afloat. They ask you to please book the breakfast time. Staff was okish, old fashioned, not kind, burned out perhaps but trying to do their work ok. There was a strange demeanor though— most specially someone that identified himself as ‘Barman’ and that seemed to be the head of some mafia. Really bad energy from him. The whole thing does not feel credible, even the descriptions of the group to which the hotel belongs sound infatuated. To sum up: Is a grand and old hotel that clearly needs to change hands, enter in a diferent attitude towards hosting, get into a new type of grandeur and life that honors the incredible building and location. Now, for €107 with breakfast, I highly recommend it! Have dinner somewhere else or there, take your wifi, enjoy the park, wake up in the middle of the forest etc. breakfast is 4*.

A pleasant and clean hotel in general with easy parking. Easy access to the main roads. nice and well-being staff. The bar/cafeteria offers very poor, because they only serve mixed toasts. A quite reasonable breakfast with tea, coffee, milk, juices, varied bread, butter croissants, various fibers, mesh eggs, sweets, honey, yoghurts, cereals and fruits, all fresh and with good look. Jacuzzis that are not used by accumulated dirt. Although they mention easy for people with reduced mobility, I did not find the hotel suitable. There are no ramps in the living room (with stairs) or in the pool.

This stay in Curia Hotel, was actually in the ir of 2005 i believe. But still in my memories, I remember the grandiosity of the building, the very high floor and the space mixed with stories and te years give you peace just siting, and enjoy the surrenders. Nice services, nice staff, don’t lose de massages options and the restaurant if remember a good experience

The cleaning ladies are very friendly. Carina, who is at the reception, is very friendly and very helpful, in contrast, I only have to point out the staff who were serving breakfast. I asked if I could have a table next to the window, since the tables that were prepared were all on the opposite side, they said yes, that I could take the dishes and take them to the other table. I did so, and sat down at a large table (I had only noticed these tables next to the window). When I went to get food, the two employees, who were always in the middle of the room, told me to use smaller tables. The room was quite empty, and from the number of tables prepared it was obvious that few customers were waiting, who would not use all the tables, as happened. The attitude of these two employees did not sit well with me. They could have taken the trouble to at least indicate the tables they wanted the customer to sit at (at the time I didn't notice the tables because they were on the side). They waited for the customer to change, and, in a law of least effort, they indicated that they had to change tables again. This difference in attitude from the reception to the restaurant makes all the difference in service. Very clean and heated room with regulation. Very silent.
