Detailed Reviews
We stopped here for one night on our way to the Algarve. It is a lovely hotel and the staff were very pleasant. The problem was that I noted just after our arrival a loud noise of a spin dryer, this seemed to go about every 30 mins. My husband went to investigate and the hotel laundry with industrial washing machines was just above our room. We weren’t too bothered as it had stopped by the time we had returned from dinner about 9.30pm. Alas we were awoken at 3.50am with the spin dryer going again. I couldn’t believe it. I can tolerate most things but not being able to sleep due to the din created by the hotel is unacceptable.
On a positive note the hotel building is very attractive and the chap on reception could not have been nicer

I have now stayed at the Varc Hotel twice.
Both times to visit the historic towns of Badajoz and Elvas.
Varc Hotel has a very good restaurant which might be closed on Monday's.
Also the hotel has a restaurant/café open every day till midnight.
It serves hot and cold meals. A substantial breakfast is served every morning till
10:30 on the ground floor of the hotel across the courtyard from the restaurant
and is included in the room price. The rooms are nice and well looked after, cleaned
every day. There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. A desk with chair, also a television with quite a number of available channels. Air conditioning works very well. Fresh towels and toiletries in the bathroom.The shower could do with an update but gives you a good solid spray.
All the staff are very friendly. The reception is across the courtyard behind the main
restaurant. If no one is there, just go to the restaurant.
There is a large parking area on one side of the hotel that is used by goods trucks.
This might produce a little noise during the night. The hotel is easy to find and is a 5
minute drive from the center of Elvas.
The hotel is extremely good value and highly recommended. We stayed on the first floor and there is an elevator.

We booked there in our way to the Alentejo just for resting one night.
It was ok, clean and average price, with the breakfast and Wifi included.
It is located in the outskirts of Elvas with an easy access to the high way.

I've known this hotel since it opened, even though I haven't been there for a few years. We returned to Elvas and chose this hotel, a disappointment.
- the room had a strong smell of sewage, something horrible and annoying. We contacted reception who tried to do their best, but this was nothing more than putting an air freshener in the bathroom, which was clearly insufficient. It was so bad that we woke up in the middle of the night to the smell... Terrible
- the room does not have sockets to charge your cell phone, in a family suite there were only 2 sockets available.
- breakfast with little offer.
- swimming pool in need of maintenance and cleaning, there were slime marks all over the water's edge, already quite green.
- the friendliness of the staff was worth it.

I only went to the restaurant. Half a poorly roasted chicken with dry potatoes, price €21.00. To call an employee you have to shout. In the bathroom, there was a strong odor of urine.
I already knew that the service was bad, but I hadn't been there in recent months.

Comfortable and renovated rooms. Friendliness of the staff.
Good breakfast.
Outdoor area with swimming pools for children and adults and children also have a trampoline at their disposal.
Restaurant with good food at affordable prices.
The only negative point was the bad smell coming from the bathroom plumbing.
