Hotel Leiria Classico

Estremadura & Ribatejo

LoginSave

In a delightfully blue art deco 1920s building on a very central corner, this casual 26-room hotel is a high-style mishmash of dated and new. However, prices are fair for the budget accommodation and it's smack in the middle of town.

The elegance of public areas extends to the spacious rooms, which have balconies (rooms 110, 111 and 112 share a pretty fantastic outdoor patio, too). You pay a bit more for the 'modern' (vs 'Classic') section, though there's not much difference. Breakfast is €3.50.
