Hotel d'Alcoutim

We had an amazing stay at Hotel D´Alcoutim. From check-in, bar and cleaning ladies all staff was extremely friendly and helpfull. The breakfast had a lot of variety including home-made cakes, definitely worth it and a good start of the day. Hotel has a nice and quiet location, with view of the Guadiana River. We´ve spent a few beautiful days by the pool, getting to know Alcoutim and there is even the possibilty to cross the river by boat and visit Spain. Would highly recommend!

I stayed for several days in November. Exceptionally quiet. Nice bar/lounge/small restaurant area. No atmosphere. Quite cold at times. Breakfast could be better. 2 days no sliced bread so no toast. 2 days they had bacon and then nothing so this let it down. Today cold scrambled eggs. Breakfast coffe machine served up poor coffee. Snacks are sandwiches & burger and soup so you have to go out for meals. Outside restaurants need a shakeup. Lobby & reception area looks dead and unwelcoming. They have 4 flag poles outside. Good idea to actually have flags flying to say the place is open for business. Very clean hotel. Rooms very nice and bright and super clean. Bathroom fine but toilet bowl or maybe seat is small. Not great for bigger bums. Good quality towels. Nice little private balcony. Good blackout curtains. Windows on ground floor have no ability to partially open and to remain secure. Window not easy to open. Wi-Fi excellent. Bed very comfortable if you have double bad as they fit a thick mattress topper over 2 singles. Plenty of hot water. Could do with tea making facility. Option of bathrobes could be offered especially during colder months. Staff excellent, friendly and efficient and very helpful. Good safe parking. Good range of TV channels with a few English news channels. Aircon good. Nice pool. Nice view over river. Good potential here but needs a bit of attention to the ambiance. A more welcoming feel would be great. I think the hotel is let down by lack of decent, clean looking eating places. In winter the little town is really dead which may suit some people. Its ok for a 1 day visit but that's about it. Of course summer maybe different. I was happy to leave the area as I felt I was in gods waiting room. The whole area was so dead it made me feel uneasy especially in the evenings as few people around. It was eerily quiet. I felt that even the dogs had given up on the place or they had been instructed not to bark. What do the locals do for fun? Perhaps fun is not allowed!

Very comfortable, nice pools right by the river. Friendly staff. Any hotel that serves cake for breakfast is good by me. Rooms a good size, house wine was lovely. A little way out of town but a gentle walk in. Would recommend.

Maybe nice but our room was 13 degrees at arrival in November and the fan in the room only helped a little,not nearly enough to be able to be in the room. The lobby was warmer. Haven't seen anything but the tiny cold room with hardly no view at all. We booked room with view of the river and got a tiny window overlooking the pool area, no river in sight. And the toilet in the room is so cold I use the toilet in the lobby instead.

Absolutely brilliant hotel would highly recommend! Hotel is lovely, newly refurbished and great location 5 mins walk from the town. What makes this hotel is the excellent staff - on hand 24h and always willing to help. Breakfast is really great value at €6 and even the beer is €1.50. Food choice is limited range, but what you can order is fantastic! We actually ditched the real restaurants in town to eat the lovely food they had on offer.

Aircon made too much noise, the spare bed was so uncomfortable that my son refused to sleep in it so I had to. We weren't reminded to give breakfast choices at Checkin so were left with no choice! I wouldn't have minded I'd they had taken into account and dropped the price slightly but the complaint was hardly listened to. Clearly all heard before.

Lovely hotel in a divine location. Comfortable, clean, lovely decor, friendly staff
