Hotel Recommendation: Ribeiro Hotel, Fatima, Portugal

When visiting Fatima with my mom this summer, I stayed at one of the most charming and friendliest hotels in the town – Ribeiro Hotel, which I would highly recommend to anyone who is planning on visiting the Sanctuary of Fatima.

Room Booking

Let me start from saying that the whole process of booking my room went perfectly smooth and Teresa Ribeiro – a manager of the hotel, who I had a pleasure to keep in touch via e-mails, immediately replied to my messages. My room booking has been confirmed in no time and I must admit that I was very impressed by Teresa’s customer care and service.

My room in Ribeiro Hotel

I found Ribeiro Hotel through TripAdvisor. It was recommended by Fatima’s visitors and highly ranked as one of the friendliest and affordable hotels in the town with a great location and comfortable rooms for any kind of traveler. That could not be further from the truth!

Ribeiro Hotel allows its customers to check the availability of rooms, their look, prices as well as location and included amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free pick up, breakfast buffet or tours and local activities.

The room

Me and my mom stayed at Ribero Hotel for two nights. The room was pretty large and each bed had sufficient personal space and there were more than enough plugs for each bed. Our room was very clean, and was cleaned daily. The Wi-Fi was good and I could pick it up in the rooms. The connection was fine and I had no problems making international video calls.

I also enjoyed a charming view from our balcony. I could wake up early in the morning to admire charming Portuguese flowers!

The atmosphere

The Ribeiro Hotel was extremely quiet and peaceful. We barely could see anyone walk or eat there, which was a huge advantage of our stay. Nobody never disturbed us and we felt very relaxed and laid back. There was a young girl working at the reception – the owner’s daughter – very kind and quiet girl, helpful and well-behaved.

Breakfast time

Breakfast is served up on the terrace each morning, and it’s a great place to hang out and have a drink in the evening. The whole place is lit up lovely at night, and there was a real nice ambiance about the place.

Location

I absolutely loved Ribeiro Hotel’s location as it is situated a 10-minute walk from the Sanctuary of Fatima. The centre of Fátima is a 3-minute drive from the unit so we could walk there each morning and save money on local transportation. We could easily get to any sightseeing point on foot and Portela International Airport is a 65-minute drive from Ribeiro Hotel.

Me and my mom had a very pleasant stay at Ribeiro Hotel. We loved our room which was extremely comfy and cozy, delicious breakfast and helpful staff members. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is planning on visiting Fatima in the near future. The prices are reasonable so everyone (including budget travelers) can afford it!

    I’m so glad you and your mom had such a wonderful time, Agness! Free breakfast? Do I have to warn them ahead of time with what a big eater I am? Ha, ha. Sounds great, our friend! :)

    I’m not planning to go to Portugal next week, but I’d definitely want to at some point so it’s good to know where to stop to have a comfortable stay without braking the bank. Cheers! :)

    This looks like my kind of hotel!! I love “budget”, but not serious bargain basement places – it’s amazing how with just a little bit more money, you can get so much more bang for your buck – great value!!

    Portugal has been on the list for years, but I haven’t met anyone who has been to ask tips on the best places to stay, eat etc. Thanks for the recommendation, and its great that it isnt too expensive too. Brekkie looks yummy, and your green tea cup huge, I always think the cups are waaaay to small!

    Free breakfast and free Wifi, they are two very big ticks from me and a key draw when I look for hotels.

    This looks like a practical and very fitting location. I like how you had such direct communication with the owner which makes the place very appealing and personal as opposed to being one property in a chain.

    As a catholic, Fatima is one place I may well make to one day so this recommendation could prove very valuable. Thanks Agness (and your mum).
