- "Beautiful palace " - "My room had a wonderful feel to it, somewhere between cozy and opulent. It was perfect for me. The duo at check-in were wonderfully helpful and appeared to enjoy working with people.

Would love to return and introduce to more friends and family. "

- "We stayed at the Grande Hotel de Luso for a few nights while travelling from Porto to Lisbon and wanted to see Coimbra. It is about 12 miles from Coimbra in the town of Luso which is quiet and with not a lot to do although the big attraction is the spa. There is a natural water fountain in the center of town where people will travel to fill water containers. Agua de Luso is sold all over Portugal in plastic water bottles in restaurants and stores. The other attraction in Luso is Bussaco National Forest which we spent half a day walking and hiking and is very beautiful. As to the Grande Hotel de Luso, it is an older hotel and the rooms and furniture are a bit antiquated. The rooms are adequate and unspectacular. However, there are a few things that raise the rating of this hotel to me. First, they have one of the best breakfast buffets that I have ever enjoyed and it is included with your stay. There is also a lunch and dinner buffet at a modest charge. We did not eat lunch but did have the dinner buffet once and were delighted at all the options and the quality of the food. For the price it is well worth it. Second, the gym in the hotel is the best out of any of the hotels we've stayed at in Portugal. It is a large and they have a wide variety of machines and free weights and even have fitness staff on hand for personal workouts or if you need assistance. For an exercise fanatic this gym is outstanding. The spa and pool are also great."

- "Excellent location." - "Great location. " - "Nuno, the Manager, was well versed in English, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. He provided us good guidance to explore the hotspots in the area. I would not recommend driving through this area unless you are willing to accept a few surprises with the GPS and locating the various attractions, including your hotel! I would recommend walking within a 10 minute radius of this hotel to find and explore various restaurant choices for food. Don’t settle for the first one you see!There’s a beautiful 19th century castle within 15 minute driving range of this hotel. Highly recommend a visit quite a bit of interesting short hikes and springs and waterfalls around the palace. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying at the Palace hotel. Food there is pricey. And it is very secluded. Just get a couple of drinks or a sandwich at the palace hotel, which will allow me an opportunity to take some pictures of this architectural marvel! Highly recommend visiting the natural holy water, spring! Quite unique, and all of our travels are around the world! "

- "Excellent breakfast and good Christmas Decorations new Washroom and bed just the bad is if you have a noise neighbor you hear him really well. Good price" - "Very comfortable beds no aircon but great windows to open for fresh mountain air. Bathroom needs a complete refurbishment very poor. " - "No real issues with the hotel other than very hard beds! Breakfast was decent. Had dinner there and it was rather overpriced for what it was. We assumed we would have the discounted rate as a hotel guest since we had automatically received that rate at the previous Inatel but discovered we did not qualify without some membership that was not offered or explained. $21 for a pretty simple biffet not including drinks was a bit high."
