Império Romano Thermas - HUP CALDAS NOVAS
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.
Book it if the pools are the point of your trip: it had the highest guest score of the 7 hotels we compared and guests rave about the pool complex. Skip it if you are sensitive to bathroom smells or want the lowest price, because complaints about drains and ventilation recur and both our other picks were cheaper.

Families and groups who plan to spend their days in the water are the best fit. Guests describe a large, clean pool complex with slides and water at different temperatures, and family rooms are listed.
Travellers who mainly want a cheap bed in Caldas Novas should compare carefully. Our Budget and Luxury picks both came in lower for the reference dates. And if a fresh, well-ventilated bathroom is non-negotiable, read the complaints below first.
Location and getting around
The address is Av. Santo Amaro n°1.600. The only sight in our nearby list is Caldas Novas State Park, about 10.4 km away. On foot that would be around 130 minutes, so it is far: plan on a car or taxi to get there.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you are driving. The location score is 9.1 out of 10, although the data does not say which shops or restaurants are close. Check a map for what is around the hotel before you book.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 1,899 reviews. That placed it 1st of the 7 eligible hotels in our sample.
Two things win praise. The pool complex, described as large and clean, with slides and different water temperatures. And breakfast, with an abundant choice of breads and cakes plus hot options such as eggs and sausages. The listing describes breakfast as continental.
The complaint is specific and serious. Several guests report persistent sewage smells in bathrooms, poor ventilation and maintenance problems such as clogged drains. Read the most recent reviews to see if this has been fixed.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €62.52 per night, about €125 for the stay. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
That is above the sample median of €53.79. Our Budget pick, Apartamento Le Jardin, was €35.90 per night with 8.6 and 4 stars. Our Luxury pick, OFICIAL Evian Thermas Residence by Trul Hoteis, was €40.34 per night with 8.5 and 5 stars.
That makes this Best Value pick the most expensive of the three for those dates, by roughly €22 to €27 a night. What you get for it is the highest score and the pool complex guests praise. If the price gap matters more than those, the other two are worth a look.
Listed facilities include free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a swimming pool, free parking, family rooms, air conditioning and a garden.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Caldas Novas. The Best Value pick balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, so it is not necessarily the cheapest. Here the top score and a large review count carried it.
