The Lince Santa Clara is a jewel of a hotel, the historical building has been beautifully renovated. The furnishings and the rooms are stylish and comfortable. The restaurant Mosteiro is exceptional, with food of an impeccable standard. Finally, all the staff in the hotel are courteous, friendly and helpful. I thoroughly recommend this hotel and hope to visit it again.

All aspects of this hostel were unique and stunning, the grounds, the room, the hallways, the bar, etc. It was a pleasure just to walk around and enjoy the architecture, The breakfast was the best we had in all three weeks of being in Portugal and the staff were attentive and polite.Truly such a pleasure to stay here and an oasis of beauty.

This hotel is true luxury. Staying in the most perfectly developed historical building was nothing but joyful and relaxing. The staff are proud of their roles, warm and professional. The hotel is immaculate. Rooms were cleaned to the highest standards and also turned down each evening with a home baked sweet treat left. The spa was not half measures and again is perfect. I had in fact booked this hotel by mistake, believing it to be in Porto…..it turns out to be the best mistake I made. Taxis cost no more than 18euros either way and using uber was easy. The area has lots of good restaurants that reminds be-food at the hotel is again top notch. I have nothing to even make as a suggestion as improvement for this hotel. My only negative point would be the area whilst having history is fairly unkempt.

Amazing building, amazing experience
