Ibis Évora

Not good seevice

The front desk staff at this hotel is the best asset of the property! I have not met more friendly, helpful and smiling crew in a long time and I do travel extensively. They made up my shot stay in the hotel, on a tour of UNESCO world heritage sites I did with my daughter. We genuinely felt welcome! They explained and recommended where to go, where to eat, what to do with a passion and genuine helpful attitude. We had a great Portuguese wine in the evening. Excellent and inexpensive breakfast buffet was another highlight of the trip. Free parking withing walking distance to old town was another benefit. I only wish more Ibis hotel had such friendly staff working for them.

this may well be a basic hotel but considering the costs i would still recommend it(my second stay)receptionist was friendly and super helpful on arrival,lifts to all floors,rooms are basic but we don't come to evora to sit in a room,good wi-fi,i only wish they would change the colours on them corridors. most people would advocate staying inside the walls in evora which the ibis isn't but considering it is a nothing walk away from being inside the walls of what evora has to offer i would make an exception with this hotel.

Friendly helpful staff Appreciated the free garage for our motorcycles Very expensive breakfast, food snacks and drinks from the bar. Better selection in nearby cafes for less than half the price Ibis charge

This is not your normal, Nice ibis. It’s really down at the heels in every way: carpeting, Wi-Fi speed, threadbare towels, weak a/c. But it’s cheap and located very close to the gate of the old city. Fabio at the front desk made up for some of the shortfalls. He was knowledgeable and helpful. He explained that all the parking, even underground, was free because of the remodeling. The street noise in 207 was bad, but they were completely full, or I’m sure they would have given us a room on the backside (request that). An odd thing was that when the Accor app says the hotel is full, sometimes one can find a room on ***********. This time, booking said no rooms, but the Accor app had one, twin beds albeit. If you don’t spend much time in the room, this hotel is a good find. Ask if they’re still remodeling.

Accor/Ibis hotels, as it is known, are cheap, with small standard rooms and breakfast with limited choices: this "basic standard" can only be improved (and, in some hotels, improved). I didn't think it possible that it could have gotten worse instead. This goal was instead achieved by Ibis Evora: hotel under renovation (noise, dust, tarpaulins like "view"), cold and rude check-in, room without the standard shower, hard and lumpy pillows, only two small hard and worn towels, breakfast with less choices than the basic standard and of mediocre quality, long waits to have a plate or bread...etc.

Nice location, staff are excellent but the road noise at night is horrendous. If possible avoid the rooms that are odd numbers, you might not have a view of the walled town, but you will sleep. If it wasn't for the noise I'd have given them 5 stars. Very pet friendly just let down by the noise unfortunately. The windows are double glazed but it still doesn't keep the noise out.
