3-Star Hotels in Fatima

There is 1 elevator that is accessible to guests, therefore, check-in was easy, but getting to the room with everyone arriving on tour took 20+ minutes. The shower stall [no bath] was short of a square meter, therefore, beware if you are a bit more round than tall. I woke up with a migraine and needed nourishment to keep it at bay. My wife and I sat down with a very meager plate in a dining room that had been near empty and the manager proceeded to kick us out, because the night before, without any warning, the telephone rang in our room and we were not consulted, just TOLD that our reservation was now @ 8 am. No manners, just an order. The manager was rude and angry when he found us, and made us feel as if we had crossed some imaginary line! Last I looked, hotels are there to serve their customers; had the manager been just straight forward or [god forbid] polite, I would have explained the situation - no chance of that. Nowhere have I ever felt more uncomfortable with the meager service and the unsolicited changes. There are many, many hotels in Fatima, as during holier days, they could be booked solid with no tents to rent, but this was not high season. I would imagine that many devout catholics would dream of such accommodations upon arrival, but we were just looking for a one-night visit. If ever you are in Fatima, beware of hyper-vigilant staff who seem to feel that they are doing us a huge favour by accepting our money and allowing us to eat. Wouldn't go back were they to send me the airfare and invite us back.

Spent 5 days at this hotel. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay. The hotel itself was tidy and fresh and our room was cleaned every day. Breakfast was delicious and freshly served and was included as part of the package. The hotel is around a 10 to 15 minute walk from Our Lady of Fatima Sanctuary and only 5 minutes from the start of the Way of Cross. ALDI and other convenience stores are also nearby. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you plan to visit the sites of Fatima!

I thought it was, despite the high price, a real convent, but instead it is a real hotel, rather dated, housed in a former convent in the center of Fatima. Convenient free parking, we did not use other services. When we arrived our room had been given to someone else, so we were assigned a family room, consisting of a room with 3 beds, a sitting room and a large bathroom. Furnishings and fittings could do with updating, but all areas were clean. We were passing through, in mid-August everything was full and for one night it went well, but I think there is better in the area

Super friendly staff. Hotel location, 7 minutes walk from the basilica esplanade. Our room was very spacious with a very comfortable mattress, pillows and sheets. Outdoor but closed and free parking. Restaurants nearby for breakfast and lunch. Value for money. insuperable

Clean and neat hotel. Good place to rest and away from the hustle and rush of city. Superb breakfast spread. Great staff service. Reasonably priced. Can attend Mass daily as it just next to church. Near to a lot of eateries like gelato and yummy Pizza place ” PizzaMia” - hot and fresh pizza.

Absolutely loved staying at this hotel! Efficient, polite and helpful staff. Nice lobby area. Simply-furnished but clean and comfortable rooms that reflected the theme of pilgrimage in this town. I love the fact that they have a crucifix in every room! Everything worked well in the room and the beds were very comfortable! We had a room with a stunning view of the grounds and the sanctuary. The hotel is situated in a quiet area, far from the noisy pilgrims who, unfortunately, very frequently forget that this is a pilgrimage town! There was ample free public parking on the road outside the hotel and a hotel-owned private parking area just across the road. Walking through the hotel’s grounds and the picnic area of the sanctuary will lead you to the back part of the Basilica of the Rosary. It’s a short, pleasant walk - around 5 minutes. There are coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was standard continental fare. Nothing fanciful but plentiful. No hot dishes. Fresh fruits like apples, oranges and bananas were available. It was self-service which, to me, wasn’t ideal during this pandemic. The staff should be the ones serving the food to avoid many different hands handling the serving tongs/ladles. In addition, every time clients want more food, the food should be served on a clean, new plate. This is just to avoid the serving tongs/ladles from coming into contact with soiled plates and then being returned to the clean food dish. It prevents food contamination. A few other hotels in Fátima actually practise this at their buffets which is really a very hygienic practice! The restaurant area was large and tables well spaced-out. The hotel also provides half board and full board. Apart from breakfast, we didn’t have any other meal there so cannot comment on the quality of the food. We did, however, notice many Portuguese come for meals at the restaurant. Lunch or dinner costs €11/person. The best part of this hotel was the on-site beautiful chapel with the presence of the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament! Masses are said here every morning (7.45 a.m. on weekdays). It was such a bonus for us - to be able to start the day with Mass! Beautiful! The Masses are said in Portuguese and the ambience is so serene and spiritual with the community (priests, nuns and lay religious) present there that you feel at peace and one with God. In sum, this hotel is a good candidate for those wanting to conduct their own private retreat. It has a quiet, spiritual ambience and is very good value for money as breakfast is included in the room rate. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are looking for a peaceful stay. Excellent quality/price ratio!

This hotel was absolutely fabulous. The location was perfect for all the Fatima religious experiences we wanted to attend. Staff was exceptionally helpful and professional. As Americans we were kind of in the dark - they helped us to navigate our stay wonderfully. Rooms were so comfortable and modern. Breakfast was wonderful as well. Prices were great! We couldn't have had a better stay and highly recommend this wonderful hotel!!!

It is a very friendly, familiar and well located hotel, even next to the sanctuary. I think that it is a good option for anyone who wants to spend a few days in a family with quietness, has a parking park, but it is not very confident because it is small. If the hotel is full, it is likely that it will not be possible at certain hours, and it has a restaurant that is not a speciality, and it is finally reasonable in quality. However, whose gastronomic experience is richer, will find better options for restaurants.

My stay at the Cova de Iria Hotel in Fátima was fantastic. I booked a family room and it was very spacious, immaculately clean, the beds are confortable, the showers are the best Ive come across and the hot water comes out fast! The breakfast has a great variaty and the staff were genuinely friendly! The location is very central to walk around with my kids and had no problem parking my car. The valeu for money is very good and I will not bother looking for another place next time I go back to Fátima.

We went to spend the weekend with a group of friends. We all stayed in this hotel. At the time of the reservation (by phone) we asked for a berce for our room because we had a 6-month baby. When we arrived in the room, we had no berce. I went to the reception, and I was aware of what happened, and they told me that we had said we didn't want a berce; they made a confusion, I deduce, with another couple friend who initially wanted a berce, but then they didn't want; OK, until there all right, confusion happens. They took the berth later, after paying us €7.5. There is no room for the berth, and we weren't able to put our things down and almost didn't pass around the bed. The most intrigued thing was that the berth had no bed. I had basically a table with the lingerie. I can't understand how they have such conditions for a baby to sleep!! It was exactly the same thing to sleep there or on the floor. I find it regrettable today that there are so many options for cheap beds and beds, that a hotel is going to dislocate in this way. But the available recordings did not work, if we were not warned by power bank, we would not have loaded our electronics.
