We stayed at the Grande Hotel de Luso for a few nights while travelling from Porto to Lisbon and wanted to see Coimbra. It is about 12 miles from Coimbra in the town of Luso which is quiet and with not a lot to do although the big attraction is the spa. There is a natural water fountain in the center of town where people will travel to fill water containers. Agua de Luso is sold all over Portugal in plastic water bottles in restaurants and stores. The other attraction in Luso is Bussaco National Forest which we spent half a day walking and hiking and is very beautiful. As to the Grande Hotel de Luso, it is an older hotel and the rooms and furniture are a bit antiquated. The rooms are adequate and unspectacular. However, there are a few things that raise the rating of this hotel to me. First, they have one of the best breakfast buffets that I have ever enjoyed and it is included with your stay. There is also a lunch and dinner buffet at a modest charge. We did not eat lunch but did have the dinner buffet once and were delighted at all the options and the quality of the food. For the price it is well worth it. Second, the gym in the hotel is the best out of any of the hotels we've stayed at in Portugal. It is a large and they have a wide variety of machines and free weights and even have fitness staff on hand for personal workouts or if you need assistance. For an exercise fanatic this gym is outstanding. The spa and pool are also great.

Quarto muito espaçoso com uma casa de banho enorme e uma excelente vista para a piscina e o Buçaco. Piscina interior com óptima temperatura. A piscina exterior é um espaço agradável mas devia ter mais manutenção, sobretudo junto às escadas de acesso na extremidade junto ao bar. Este último tinha pouca oferta. Pequenos almoços muito razoáveis. Jantar muito bom. Já cá tinha estado e só melhorei a opinião neste regresso. Tenciono voltar em breve.

Experiencia excelente, recomendable al 100% . Sitio acogedor de alta calidad, con piscina de agua caliente interior para relajarse después de un día agotador.. y el spa de aguas termales que no pude probar pero que debe ser una maravilla por los comentarios del resto de huéspedes que se alojaron en el hotel. A la próxima vez sí queda tiempo..

Hotel muito confortável e bem apetrechado

O Hotel tem muito boas condições. O serviço de limpeza dos quartos é muito eficiente e célere. O pequeno almoço é bastante variado e muito bom. O Hotel terá sido renovado recentemente, apresenta uma decoração sóbria e contemporânea nos quartos. A piscina interior é ótima e tem dimensão para nadar (estimei em 18 m de comprimento), abrindo às 8h00 da manhã. Tem um ginásio com muitos e diversos equipamentos, mesmo diante da piscina exterior. As únicas notas menos positivas são o barulho dos hóspedes (famílias numerosas com crianças numerosas e barulhentas em ambas as piscinas). E uma opção questionável de colocar uma mesa de matraquilhos perto da piscina exterior. O barulho produzido pelo dispositivo e pelos jogadores é deveras incomodativo para quem pretende estar calmamente a ler um livro à beira da piscina. Felizmente transporto uma caixa de tampões auditivos que atenuam o incómodo causado por hóspedes histriónicos.A experiência tem-me ensinado que os há e andam por aí.

Prima hotel, goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding

Een prachtig karakteristiek hotel. Imposant oud gebouw met groot buitenzwembad en goede gym. Ruime kamer met ruime kluis. Fijn ontbijtbuffet, vriendelijk en hulpvaardig personeel. Hotel perfect gelegen voor wandelingen door het Bucaco oerbos. Enige grote minpunt was dat onze kamer erg gehorig was. Duidelijk te horen, en te verstaan als de mensen in de kamer naast ons aan het praten waren. Weet niet of dit voor alle kamers zo is. Kan zijn dat het kwam omdat onze kamer een tussendeur naar de kamer ernaast had.
