Hotel Don Rodrigues

Very friendly check in. Very clean rooms and public areas. Most satisfying and varied breakfast.

When searching it said it was walkable and it is not, nice restaurant next door, but didn’t like that you couldn’t walk to get dinner as restaurant was closed on Mondays and we had just driven for 6 hours. Also walls are thin, no soundproofing, could hear dogs barking at 5am, toilets flushing, a couple fighting two nights in a row, so it was a great location as it’s inexpensive but didn’t sleep well even though the beds are super comfortable.

Hotel is small and welcoming. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. Room was clean and a good size. Nespresso machine in room. Breakfast very good, hot dishes of Bacon and scrambled egg. Cold ham and ham, cereals, bread, rolls and croissants, fruit and cakes. Restaurant, O Tacho, adjacent isvery good for lunch or dinner.

Rating by the door was a one star but should be rated a bit higher. Was given a 3) bed room (3 x twin beds) which was ok, except the 3rd bed took up precious room space. Room was clean, shower was clean, entire hotel appeared clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Free parking was available. Hotel is near the road but did not notice any undue noise at night. Hotel has a nice patio and a pool. Vending machines are available on property. Close enough to Tavira town to walk, just need to navigate the roundabout carefully. Walking in the middle of summer may not be advisable though. Room had a well functioning and quiet A/C. A small refrigerator was available. Breakfast was good and included in the room rate. The pastries were very good. Also available was a variety of breads, jams, some cold cuts and cheese and a bowl of chunky fruits. Coffee (machine) was somewhat typical of the area, coffee came out either too strong or too weak. Ended up using the black setting and adding my own milk. It's a bit odd that the traditional coffee milk available in most northern European countries was not available. 3 types of juices were dispensed from the machine with the orange being the best. Scrambled eggs smelled a bit fishy, also somewhat typical of the area, believe it is due to chickens being fed fish meal. There was a restaurant attached to the hotel specializing in rotisserie chicken, not sure if the restaurant was part of the hotel or independent. Price was very reasonable. Only complaint would be that meals are often served with only boiled or french fried potatoes, and lettuce with tomato salad. If visiting Tavira head to Santa Luzia and A Casa restaurant and try the grilled Octopus.

Stayed 4 nights at this hotel and was very comfortable there. Lovely big balcony and room adequate with everything that was needed for a short stay. Very clean, maid came in daily. Lovely decor in the whole of the hotel and very pretty and charming. Breakfast very good. Bit noisy in the evenings from the restaurant adjoined but otherwise very quiet and peaceful. Had a lovely stay!!

It was just outside the city with easy access to drive to the old town. For the price, it was a great deal, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good.

Great stay and great breakfast. Really clean and good facilities. Road can be a bit risky to cross outside. But location wise and quality of the hotel is far far better than the 1 star it has. Totally underrated.

We only stayed one night, The room was quiet despite being located so close to a main road. The room was comfortable, bed cozy, room had the dark black out and shower had good power. The breakfast was good, and parking easy. Town centre is very close but we were advised to drive rather than walk.
