Hotel Genesis

“Great place to stay!”

Definitely a great place to stay in Fátima. Very close to the sanctuary. Great deal for a good price. Breakfast was nice too. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and service.

“Besuchen Sie Portugal mit der Familie”

Ich war in Portugal mit der Familie Fatima zu besuchen. Und wir waren im Hotel Genesis und die Angestellten, das Essen und der Service war gut. Ich kann dieses Hotel all meinen Freunden in #erfuhr. Hotel ist komplett eingerichtet und sehr aufgabenspektrum Zimmer für den Preis, den wir zahlen.

“Super Preis-Leistungs -Verhältnis”

Ich war hier im Dezember 6 bis 11, 2013. Obwohl es ein 2 Sterne Hotel ist, ist es sehr sauber und nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß 5 Minuten zu Fuß zum Schrein / Basilika. WiFi ist kostenlos wenn auch etwas schwach. Das Essen ist in Ordnung. Allerdings müssen sich ändern der Teppich. Der Service ist gut… Mehr

“Excellent value for the low price we paid”

Strange that the reviews are a couple of years old, with no new ones. Fortunately I decided to ignore the average and below average ratings on TripAdvisor or we would have missed this gem!

Strange that the reviews are a couple of years old, with no new ones. Fortunately I decided to ignore the average and below average ratings on TripAdvisor or we would have missed this gem! For us there was only one 'con' and it is that the hotel is not easy to find, especially by car as our Garmin GPS did not seem to be able to find it. Detailed information on how to find the hotel would have been appreciated with our reservation confirmation. It had been a long drive and the Garmin just kept directing us round and around in circles due to the numerous one-ways and narrow lanes. It was not easy to tell which road the GPS wanted us to take due to roads over an underpass, small roads that we felt would not be open to vehicles and one-way systems that appear to change regularly. After about half an hour of futile driving around Fatima we parked up at the end of the one-way road that the hotel is located in; I walked up to the hotel to get directions on how to access it by car. Both the young receptionist and the lady in the hotel gift shop were very pleasant and helpful. The older lady even coming out onto the road with me to explain which road to take. The receptionist does speak English, the older lady (the receptionist said she was her boss) explained to me patiently in French. She also later obligingly took me on a tour of the hotel, showing me the restaurant, told me the opening hours of the restaurant, showed me the way into it from inside the hotel, showed me the bar on the ground floor etc. I have to say the path to the hotel was not easy to locate as it did not appear, to us, to be a road for vehicles. The location for visiting the Sanctuary at Fatima is ideal and was only a few minutes walk away from the hotel. The Reception area smells wonderful. We checked in fairly quickly and took the lift up to our room. The perfume in the elevator is also wonderful. The room size is adequate. We were only there for one night. The bathroom was clean and the shower was awesome. I loved the toiletries.. "Aromes de Portugal" I think is what it said on the toiletries. The bed was comfortable, so I do not know why the other reviewer had an issue with the bed. There is a TV in the room, however I do not think that any channels were in English. We were too tired to watch television in any case. We had dinner in the hotel's restaurant. They have a menu which is in English, if you don't speak Portuguese. Dinner was tasty and we found the wine very good. One CAUTION: At dinner the waiter put onto the table a selection of bread, cheese, olives and other things. Be aware that these things are chargeable even though they do not tell you in advance! This is all over Portugal, so be aware. In France, if you are severed a pre-dinner plate, it is complimentary... therefore, though we were surprised at the number of items, we assumed that was the case here too. We asked the waiter if this is normal to eat cheese BEFORE dinner, and were assured that this is normal in Portugal... no mention of the additional costs, even though we were obviously tourists who had no idea. Those un-requested extras put up our bill by 10 EUROS! BOTTOM LINE : We would stay there again if we visited Fatima again and would heartily recommend it to friends, with the caution to be aware of the hidden costs at dinner. Even my husband who usually wants a minimum of 4**s agreed that I had done well in choosing the Genesis Hotel.
