This is a lovely small hotel, with a great team of staff, every one of them were super friendly and helpful. As a regular traveller I booked this hotel based on the photos and the previous reviews, so don’t be put of by the fact it is shown as a 2 star hotel, I cannot understand how that is the case, it was far nicer than many of the 3 & 4 star hotels I have stayed in. Location is great, a few minutes walk to the town centre. Only negative would be the breakfast. Whilst it was very nice, it was pretty much the same every day, so very repetitive.

Groovy Tavira Hotel

Quirky and stylish boutique hotel in the old town. Wonderful staff. Nice touches - water with fruit slices, teas and pastries. Spectacular rooftop furnished with sofas, day beds and a plunge pool. Supermarket literally around the corner. I'd definitely stay here again.

Convenient location and very friendly staff. Breakfast is basic but nicely presented. The room was large enough With a small balcony. The bathroom had a good shower, 1 sink and was large but the lighting was terrible. The rooftop plunge pool was nice

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were a good size. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. We particularly enjoyed using the roof terrace which was well-equipped with sun beds and the pool provided welcome relief in the heat. The hotel is situated right next to a good supermarket and a shirt walking distance from the beautiful town.

Property and staff great. Rooms cute and updated. We did not love the location - while walkable to everything the neighborhood/end of town was a bit run down. Overall seemed though.

Loved the property. The staff went the extra mile to make sure or our stay was pleasant. The breakfast is amazing and much more than we could eat. Unfortunately the bathroom door would not close. I would have thought that was something they would fix over the winter months.

I spent 4 nights in the Authentic Tavira hotel and will definitely return. The staff were very welcoming, the room spotless and bed very comfortable. The roof top terrace was the ideal place for a quiet read. I don’t swim so the plunge pool was perfect to cool me down.The hotel is convenient to the old town where there is lots to see and restaurants in abundance.
