Overall Ratings & Reviews Grande Hotel de Luso

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.

The hotel is really well situated, hotel swimming pools were amazing, the hotel breakfast was very impressive.

Excellent hotel - spotlessly clean Staff very helpful and friendly Wide choice of foods at buffet breakfast Gardens and locality are stunning

Comfortable bed in a spacious clean room with a beautiful view of sunset. Great location with private access to Termas (separate fee), wonderful indoor swimming pool (we didn’t use the outdoors one, but maybe next time) and nice breakfast included. Friendly staff.

Always a pleasure, spacious hotel with all amenities necessary for a relaxing stay

It was my second time there and I loved it. I love that the hotel is conected to the spa

This has been a grand hotel and still is if you put aside the fact it is an older style hotel and the decor (lots of dark brown) is not to my taste. The communal spaces are generous with various 'lounge rooms' to sit and read. The lounge bar very gracious and comfortable with a lovely view as does the restaurant. We had a standard room it was OK, it had all the necessary facilities. I wouldn't have liked to have stayed there for any length of time. Some of the communal area carpet was dirty and a little threadbare but this could be that we stayed at the end of autumn and these maintenance issues would be addressed in the 'off season'.

Soap, schampoo was not filled up next day. Breakfast was good lot of things to choose from.

Horrible hotel and in terrible need for renovation. Rooms have not been aired in centuries, no hot water, pool is poorly maintained. Old school staff that is not trying to be helpful. Worth 20-30EUR per night max.

the staff is verry freindly the breakfast was verry good

Always a pleasure

Really a pleasant stay; I had been many times before, but this was the 1st since major renovation and upgrading took place. It's prettier, and they kept the best staff.

Trevligt hotell

A cama era muito pouco confortável.

A estadia foi muito tranquila, permitiu-nos descansar e usufruir da beleza e dos bons ares e água do Luso. O hotel mantem a sua bela decoração original e os espaços exteriores e piscinas exterior e interior aquecida são excelentes.

Experiencia excelente, recomendable al 100% . Sitio acogedor de alta calidad, con piscina de agua caliente interior para relajarse después de un día agotador.. y el spa de aguas termales que no pude probar pero que debe ser una maravilla por los comentarios del resto de huéspedes que se alojaron en el hotel. A la próxima vez sí queda tiempo..

O Hotel tem muito boas condições. O serviço de limpeza dos quartos é muito eficiente e célere. O pequeno almoço é bastante variado e muito bom. O Hotel terá sido renovado recentemente, apresenta uma decoração sóbria e contemporânea nos quartos. A piscina interior é ótima e tem dimensão para nadar (estimei em 18 m de comprimento), abrindo às 8h00 da manhã. Tem um ginásio com muitos e diversos equipamentos, mesmo diante da piscina exterior. As únicas notas menos positivas são o barulho dos hóspedes (famílias numerosas com crianças numerosas e barulhentas em ambas as piscinas). E uma opção questionável de colocar uma mesa de matraquilhos perto da piscina exterior. O barulho produzido pelo dispositivo e pelos jogadores é deveras incomodativo para quem pretende estar calmamente a ler um livro à beira da piscina. Felizmente transporto uma caixa de tampões auditivos que atenuam o incómodo causado por hóspedes histriónicos.A experiência tem-me ensinado que os há e andam por aí.

Hotel com óptima localização, pequeno almoço muito bom. Aspeto menos positivo, foi requisitado cama de casal e foi nos atribuído 2 camas individuais. Valeu a simpatia das funcionárias de limpeza que para a 2 noite nos proporcionaram lençóis de casal, aproximando do que foi pedido

Todo en general. Acceso directo a las termas. Personal muy antento y amable. Instalaciones muy bien mantenidas. Volveré si duda.

Hotel antigo porém reformado. Foi nos dado um up grade para um quarto superior. O problema é que o quarto tinha um pouco de mal cheiro. Mas de resto tudo foi muito bom.
