    Short Motorcycle Trip Spain Sept 2025

    rating22 Oct 2025

    I have been here several times before and although it is very nice, there was something just not quite right this time. Maybe just me??179 miles (too much on this road), my fav N103 is almost half roadworks... Poor surface and traffic lights.Anyway, found Forte in usual around the houses fashion. Nice friendly Check in.Room 10 was good. Food? Hmm. On the first day I was going to say a bit disappointed, but as I stayed longer and looked at the price and choice I decided it was good value.Breakfast was very, very good.

    This place can only have 5 stars. From the welcome on arrival, to the pool and the food. And finally the after service..... helping me even when I had left.

    Older top notch hotel with good value

    rating22 Jun 2025

    it's a little bit older property but was made as a hotel to last long. You will live in the fortress and feel like a king. Lots of spaces to discover.Rooms with wooden floor are in good maintainance, new soft matresses and working AC! We slept with open window, singing birds in the morning!A huge outdoor pool is a big plus - Sauna as well (but only accessible during summer time - which is real pitty -Sauna is needed especially in colder days!Breakfast has the typical Portugese selections (but eg. local presunto or salciccia), coffee from vending machine is always a problem.This place could be Pousada de Chaves! Highly recommended (for rates below 100€)

    Stay in Chaves and enjoy history with a modern spirit

    rating01 May 2025

    Hotel with character located in a Fortress. Style is great and very well preserved. Breakfast is very good. Staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurant is very good with nice service. The hotel is very clean. Easy parking facilities in front of the hotel inside of the property. Nice swimming pool and places to relax and enjoy the sun.

    a bit different from the norm but in a good way

    rating17 Jan 2025

    simple check in,staff were very friendly and helpful.my room was across the way from reception and had everything one needs for a comfortable stay and do walk around this hotel as it's a bit different from the norm but in a good way and with the centre of chaves a short walk away via a draw bridge the location is great.
