Overall, a wonderful stay. Great location, fantastic wifi, beautiful building and very friendly staff. The breakfast was great. Parking was easy for free across the street / down on the city walls, but they also had parking for a charge.

Off the beaten path, on the far East side of Portugal (nearly on the Spanish border). Friendly and interesting people, and interesting history to explore through castles, forts and a marvelous aqueduct.

Lots to see, so make sure you have comfortable clothing and shoes.
Like most Portugeus towns, it is very hilly with narrow streets and lots of steps.
Architecture is stunning and historic with plenty of stories of old.
More vegetarian/vegan restaurants would be a bonus.
The whole Alentejo region is a must-see when visiting this beautiful country.

Elvas is an historic old city with an amazing Roman aqueduct. The local restaurants were not catering for tourists and hardly anyone spoke English. We ate in the hotel which was good value in a lovely setting. We visited the British cemetery for the soldiers of the Peninsular War. The old town is is all cobblestone alleys and we kept getting lost but that was part of its charm.

This is a cool fort town on the Spanish border worth visiting. Great for practicing my Spanish and Portuguese. The old town is walkable and worth a day. Get a number of a local taxi service to explore the other two forts nearby, pick up groceries etc. Plan ahead of taking a comboio or autoexpresso as it's in a pretty remote location so you can't just catch a train out every 30 minutes like you can in Lisbon.
The region it is in, the Alentejo is also generally quite beautiful and it's worth taking a bus to Estremoz and the Evora if in the area.

A great small restaurant recommended by the Hotel was Mercato, is a perfect place to dine. Excellent service and food cooked to order with a lot of attention to quality and flavours.
Everything was perfect! The guest house was beautiful and everything was clean. The room was nice and big, had a great bathroom and a small refrigerator, which came in handy. The bed was really comfortable and I loved how everything was cleaned everyday! The dining room and the rooftops of the guest house were a cool place to have breakfast. There was a coffee machine and free crackers for every guest. Last but not least, the staff is really nice and cared to know if everything was okay or if we needed anything.
A very attractive hotel. The season was only just starting, so the staff on duty were having to work hard to ensure they were able to meet the needs of a growing number of guests. Mariana on reception and Luis in the bar AND restaurant were excellent examples of this level of hard-working service. A nice spa pool and a pleasant courtyard garden all added to the calm feel of the former convent. We would stay here again if we were visiting Elvas again.
The house and its sorroundings are charming. An old house converted into a hotel, the façade is original, decorated inside in accordance with the location and origin. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. If traveling in the summer, the pool is big and surrounded by beautiful trees. The owners were lovely and paid attention to every detail, 100% personalised service. The breakfast was served with good local products. Would definitely stay again.
The host was here to welcome us and took the time to give us advice about the city and the places to visit, the restaurants, etc. It was very nice to chat with him. The apartment is ideally situated in the center in a beautiful small street, and the view from the terrace is wonderful. There were even a few things in the kitchen for us to cook.
The hotel in overall is simple but it meets the requirements you need to spend a couple of nights on your way.

What a GREAT place! Perfect location, super clean and Ricardo was wonderful! The Queen hasn’t been open too long, they spent 2 years remodeling a very old building, and it is beautiful! The rooms are huge and the bathrooms are fantastic! I only stayed one night, but I wish it could have been more. Highly recommend!
We regularly stay at this hotel. It is well run, has good staff and is well placed for the centre of the city which is a 10 minutes walk across the Roman Bridge. Also private underground parking which many hotels in the city lack.
Good value.
Excellent. Very clean, helpful staff, very new and in a kind design, super kitchen equipment, enough place in the room and also in other areas, perfect location, quite place. Till now the best stay in Portugal for me.
Nice 2 bedroom apartment, great air conditioning and wifi, great location to walk around Elvas, very friendly host once we found her, quiet at night (very noisy during the day with the laundry rooms next door).
When we arrived we were greeted by the manger with hostility and a lack of civility because we spoke English and not Spanish. This place is in Portugal. When the son arrived he seemed lazy and unconcerned.
Very quaint and charming hotel. Location was good and staff very helpful and responsive. We appreciated being able to check in a little earlier and easy free car parking in open air hotel car park.
Outstanding! Stunning oasis in the midst of Portugese countryside. A place to relax, unwind, and soak in the beauty of nature. Hosts are gracious and dining was superb!
architectural dream from 1930 … John and Sara were extremely helpful . would go back any time. breakfast is the best and dinner at jail house resto was spectacular.
Absolutely beautiful property in a restored and converted monastery. Impeccably designed and maintained. Friendly staff. Located in the charming village of Elvas.
The location and the surrounding nature.
The swimming pool in the hot days.
The night sky since the place is isolated and there is very little light polution.
Good quiet location, with lovely views and close to Elvas. Lovely owner, great breakfast and evening meal. Great for our dog. Will definitely stay again.
A lovely traditional guest house just inside the walls of the incredible fortified city of Elvas. The room was very comfortable and I had all I needed!
