Find the Cheap Sortelha Hotels

Hotel Sinai Belmonte Nice hotel located in the historic center of this little town. Plenty of free street parking. The hotel is quite modern with a spacious lobby and lounge. The restaurant on site doubles as the breakfast room. Breakfast was a nice buffet of breads, pastries, cheeses, meats, fruits and cereals. Our room overlooked the valley below the town. It was decently sized with plenty of power plugs but no designated USB ports. There are flexible reading lights on both sides of the bed. The closet was spacious. The bathroom was spacious and included a large shower(no tub) with the most vigorous water pressure we have ever experienced in Portugal. They supply a combination shampoo/shower gel pump in the shower. But like everywhere else we have stayed so far no hair conditioner nor are washcloths supplied. No refrigerator. A little balcony off the bedroom was a nice touch. Besides a small ruined castle and a few churches there is not much to see here and the town is too small to have much in the way of shopping although the tiny crooked streets are charming. Suggest that this not be a destination but a brief diversion or simply a place to settle in for the night before continuing your travels.

What a great hotel formerly a monk’s monastery. Incredible grounds and mountains surrounding the facility. Very friendly staff. Unique way to stay. Rooms identified by monk’s names. You walk through halls and floors of stone getting to your room. We had incredible views and could see for miles outside our back patio. Comfortable room and bathroom. Very nice.

Unfortunately due to the poor decor, cleaning and maintenance this review will not be favourable. The staff were brilliant, the location is nice, very rural. But that is pretty much it. There is too much litter all over the car park area. Maybe have rubbish bins installed in the car park, or have a daily litter pick. The sat nav took us the wrong way, there needs to be far more signs showing the way to the hotel. The building on the outside looks different. But whoever decided to paint the corridors and rooms black needs their head tested! It is very dark when you step out of the lift to go to your room. Once inside the room, the toilet/bathroom areas again very dark, need a headteacher! No need for that. In our room, I booked 3 rooms, the tv was a cheap nasty thing. The remote control had ducktape holding the battery's in place. There one way glass, between the toilet and bathroom was all scratched. When I pay for a nice hotel I want a nice experience. This hotel unfortunately needs a new paint job and the maintenance to be carried out as soon as it's needed. The restaurant area has 2 massive TV's, very Portuguese thing. On mute but I would rather not have them there in the first place. Also, if you are seating next to the main wall, in the restaurant areaz you can hear the water running down the pipes as you enjoy your food! Just don't think about what is running down next to you! And pray there isn't a burst sewage pipe while you are next to the wall! The food, was ok, nothing special. Which is a shame. On the upside, wine was good. Shame they don't sell they wine at the hotel. They have it on show by reception, but to buy it was a very long drive to their vineyard.
