Estalagem Santa Iria Hotel & Spa
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
It is worth booking if you want a quiet, central base with a spa and free parking, and you accept paying close to the city median. Couples and drivers get the most from it; if you mainly want a pool for swimming, guest comments suggest keeping expectations low.

This 4-star hotel works well for couples who want calm and walkability at once. It lists a spa, a restaurant, a garden, free parking, family rooms and air conditioning, so it also suits drivers and families.
Skip it if your budget is tight. Our Budget pick in Tomar was €64 a night cheaper on the reference dates. Pool lovers should also read on: guests often find the pool small and sometimes cold.
Location and getting around
The address is Parque do Mouchão. Guests describe the setting as a quiet island park in the city centre, close to the river. The location score is 9.9, the highest figure in this hotel's data.
The Church of Santa Maria do Olival is about 0.7 km away, roughly 9 minutes on foot. Tomar Castle is 0.8 km, about 10 minutes. These are straight-line estimates rather than measured routes, so allow extra time and check the path on a map.
What guests say
The score is 9.3 out of 10 from 1,314 reviews, joint second of the 6 eligible properties in our sample.
Guests praise two things above all: the quiet park position near the river, and a friendly, attentive team that gives a warm welcome. The main criticism concerns the pool. Its indoor-outdoor design with river views gets credit, but many describe it as small and sometimes cold.
Price and what you get, compared with our other picks
The reference price was €149.00 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. The sample median was €147.00, so it sits almost exactly in the middle. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Hotel Kamanga, our Budget pick, scored 8.3 with 2 stars at €85.00. Hotel República Boutique Hotel, the Luxury pick, scored 9.4 with 5 stars at €166.95. For about €18 less than the Luxury pick, you give up only 0.1 points of guest score and keep a spa and free parking.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Tomar. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price; it is not simply the cheapest option.
A 9.3 score across more than 1,300 reviews, a 9.9 location score and a mid-range price made this the best balance in the sample.
