Fabulous old historic building. The staff were very friendly. Restaurant had limited menu and food was ok nothing to rave about. As a Gold VIP member I was not given the bottle of wine as a perk and I had to ask for it. Also there was no mention of an upgrade. This part of the service was disappointing.

As it was an old monastery, the feeling of the 750 year old is still impressive. The rooms have been modernized with individual bathrooms etc. but it still has the feel of the old original feeling with its large curved ceilings and the reception is the entrance to the old original Church. As it is an old monastery, note that it does not look like any of the modern hotels, it is by the police station. Very quiet in the evenings, I could hear a pin drop, I only wished I had more time to explore the whole hotel. I will have to visit there again.

Tucked within the stone-clad walls of a once-sacred sanctuary, this hotel offers guests the rare chance to sleep inside history. Originally a convent, the property transitioned into military barracks after monastic life ended in 1834, before eventually being transformed into the sprawling hotel it is today. The scale of the place is impressive—vast corridors, high vaulted ceilings, and unexpected nooks that hint at centuries past. One of the standout features is the former chapel, still breathtaking in its quiet dignity, offering a reverent nod to the building’s spiritual roots. You don’t just stay here—you feel the weight and wonder of its layered past. Our room was modest but adequate—relatively clean and comfortable, with everything functioning as expected. While it didn’t quite match the grandeur of the public spaces, it served as a restful base. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. The buffet leaned into local flavors with a generous spread of breads, cheeses, fresh fruit, and warm options. We chose to dine in at the hotel in the evening, as the town didn’t feel especially safe after dark. While the menu wasn’t overly ambitious, the kitchen put in an admirable effort, and the staff ensured we felt looked after. In short, the charm of this property lies not in modern luxury but in its atmosphere, architecture, and authenticity. If you’re drawn to history and appreciate spaces that tell stories, this hotel will resonate with those who love character and history.

Gem of a hotel in otherwise bleak town of Beja.

Business two day stop in Beja, previously stayed on edge of town but will opt for this hotel as right in centre. Great breakfast, lots of character( converted convent type building) friendly staff and acccomodating. Lovely pool area and gardens.
