Hotel Sao Joao de Deus by Ridan Hotels Reviews

A very good hotel in a great location, although its 4 stars are already a little tatty.

Good service, reasonable breakfast and facilities in need of renovation and layout.

Professional and friendly service. I expected a little more from the historic rooms.

The receptionist speaks very good English and enthusiastically introduced the history of the hotel. The hotel was renovated from an old building in the 17th century. The room is spacious, but there are too few sockets. You can only unplug the TV to charge. The sound insulation is not very good, and you can hear the sound of cars passing by outside.

Historic hotel, well located. Good service from the reception staff.

Affable staff, good location... pay more attention to the number of guests per room so that the number of towels and amenities is adequately provided.

Overall pleasant and friendly.

好地方有特色保留很多的歷史沙發椅倒是很多可以到處做想當的晚上下次還住

Wonderful place - was an old convent then a military hospital. The building was constructed in the 1600's so it just radiates with character. We loved the worn marble stairs and the winding passage ways. It also has sitting areas throughout the hotel where you can sit and read or gather to talk or check emails. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place.

The hotel was overall nice, althought we felt that it shouldn`t be considered a 4 star hotel (more like a 3).

What a gorgeous hotel!!! It is in a several hundred years old monastery and there are signs of old wood and marble from the days of old. Each room held a monk and the ceilings are vaulted and wooden. So beautiful. Request room 301, open the windows and look straight down for a nice surprise!!!! This property was a five minute walk from all kinds of restaurants and shopping. Eat at Restaurante Luís Cobra one block away. You wont regret it!!

The hotel is beautiful and the location is great. The restoration of the building was made with a lot of care and style.

Perfect location to the center of town and easy to get to. Interesting history of the building. We were upgraded to a huge room with lots of antique furniture but still a bit sparse. Staff was excellent particularly Daniela. Bar was closed but breakfast was good. The pool was a nice way to spend a hot afternoon after visiting the city.

Ideal holiday location for those interested in History, walking or just relaxing in a quiet yet vibrant atmosphere. Modern Hotel set in an old tastefully restored building. Friendly and efficient staff complement the setting.
