Hotel Império do Rei

We had a great overnight stay here. It has a central location with nearby parking, our room had comfortable bed and shower with excellent water pressure. Everything was really clean. We pre-booked our breakfast, time and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The staff are lovely: very welcoming and helpful. As it was a Sunday, they suggested reserving a local restaurant for our evening meal, which they graciously did with our agreement. We would definitely return.

While the hotel is a little dated and missing some modern touches, there is very little not to like when considering the value for money this hotel offers.

The bed was big and comfy, we slept very well. The staff was very friendly and our little kid even got a small gift and some very cute, funny and friendly conversations with them. The shower was fantastic. The breakfast was very good and they even provided soy milk and other vegan options without asking for that in advance. We had a parking space right in front of the door. Very close to the hotel is a lovely vegan restaurant (the fast vegan).

The A/C has very bright digits that we covered with a shirt, so it didn’t disturb our sleep. The bathroom door didn’t lock well.

Staff at reception were all exceptional. So friendly, cheerful and helpful. Very close to the centre, just around corner from cathedral. Easy to access, though Satnav did try to direct me the wrong way down the one way street In front of the hotel. Good breakfast.

Parking outside the hotel was full. Good public parking just around the corner, but I was lucky to just grab the last space. Had to haul luggage up the stairs. Not a huge issue as it was only one floor.

Everything was great, the best was the staff, really friendly and helpful! Location is really good, rooms really clean. Air conditioning was there (Castelo Branco is super hot it was very much needed :) ) and the breakfasts were superb!

Only thing I would add is a little more storage in the room would be good :) but we were there shortly so it was not bothering us that much :)

Exceptional service, friendly helpful staff, lovely room, nice part of the old town near the cathedral

No elevator - bit hard on the knees if you're a smoker who has to go up and down often. Next time I'll ask for a room on the ground floor.

Centrally located close to several bars and restaurants. The room was very pleasant and the double bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. Parking near the hotel can be tricky as it does not have its own private car park.

Nothing

Breakfast is very good, friendly and helpful. Room is clean simple. Bit old, but yes. Its portugal. Bus stop closed by.

For short stay and only to sleep, this hotel is perfect to stay. I recommend look no farther. NOTHING TO DISLIKE.

Hotel is very centralized, Receptionist excellent communication and understanding skills. Great breakfast, and everything was great, thank you. Room was neat and clean You will definitely see me again

N/A

A warm welcome from the staff and they were always helpful. We thought that it was very good value considering it was a 2 star hotel.

It would have been even better if there had been the opportunity to make a cup of tea or coffee in the room.

Great location, the town is small so everything was close. Satisfactory breakfast, even yoghurt and pancakes! The staff was friendly.

It was a bit cold in the room. But that is Portugal in January!
