Steyler Fatima Hotel Congress

I stayed at Steyler Fátima Hotel, Congress & Spa for 2 nights last week as part of a tour group. At first, I wasn’t too impressed with the hotel’s appearance, especially the low ceiling in the check-in lobby. However, our tour leader recommended this place highly—and now I understand why! The hotel room was spacious, modern, and well-equipped—better than many 3-4 star hotels I’ve stayed at in Europe. The location is also a big plus: just a short, safe walk to the Sanctuary of Fátima and close to souvenir shops and restaurants. What impressed me the most was the buffet! Both breakfast and dinner were delicious and offered a great variety—around 8 main dishes per meal, with soup, a full salad bar, plenty of desserts, and fresh fruit. Each table also had a bottle of red or white wine, which was a lovely touch for dinner. Despite accommodating many tour groups, the hotel staff were very organized and everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend this hotel for both tourists and travel agencies looking for a reliable place to stay in Fátima.

Great hotel. Great location. Very clean and quiet. Very generous breakfast and dinner buffet.

Unfortunately I cannot this this hotel any more than 1 star. They were doing major renovation work and from 7.45am until 6pm the sound of numatic drilling and hammering was so loud we could not stay in our room. We could not hear the tv or anyone we rang. Our family were horrified at the sounds coming through the phone. As a result of the works our room had no heat. We complained to reception who said they could not do anything for the first 2 nights of our stay. They did provide a small heater. As we were only there for 4 nights we did not change rooms but just stayed out of the room. No guest should have been given that room. The food was not good so we ate in restaurants. Unfortunately I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
