This was my second stay, I absolutely love this little hotel! What a gem! The location is excellent the rooms are immaculate and comfortable, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and it’s great value for money. As a solo traveller I felt extremely safe throughout my stay and the unexpected room upgrade was a bonus!! I will continue to return to this lovely hotel!

Nothing I didn’t like but if I could make a suggestion it would be to add coffee/hot drinks facilities to the rooms. As a coffee addict I like to enjoy a coffee first thing however I went to reception and the nice lady made a coffee to take up to my room.

It is a fantastic place and very central. I was very surprised what a beautiful art gallery it is, as well as a hotel. An exquisite integration of art into an excellent hotel. One caveat anyone deciding to book here is that there is no elevator and you carry your luggage up the stairs, which is not a problem if it is not heavy. Elderly persons and those with mobility issues would face some difficulty. The staff is very friendly, helpful and courteous. The breakfast is wonderful and the spaces are very beautiful.

The location of the hotel was excellent. It was a good walk from the train station and was close to the old city with all the tourist destinations but away from the noise of nightlife. The staff were very obliging allowing us to drop our bags off before checkin and after we had checked out so that we could explore easily. They also gave us great directions to the market and the layout of the city. I liked that it was an eco concious hotel.

We did have difficulty getting the air conditioner to work on cooling mode, seemed to reset itself to warming.

The room was very inviting and comfortable. The bed was very comfy. The breakfast was simple but had good value, with fresh fruit, pastries, and coffee.

The location was right in the city's center, but parking was difficult. We communicated beforehand to guarantee a parking space at a local garage. There is no elevator, so it is not a good spot for anyone in a wheelchair or who has difficulty with stairs. We luckily were only on the 1st floor.

The hotel was generally attractive with quite a number of interesting artworks on display. Our room was also very comfortable, although we didn't have much of a view outside because of scaffolding for the ongoing work on the building. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful., especially as I needed directions to the local hospital. The location was nice and central, although further from the train station than we had expected.

Works on the building covered the front of the hotel, spoiling the look and partially blocking the view from the windows. However, we weren0t disturbed by any noise as a result of this.

Location location. Although it's rated as 2star, the deco inside was welcoming and comfortable. The WiFi speed was excellent (streamed Netflix!) and the breakfast selection was good with excellent Portuguese quality coffee. The hotel only has 15 rooms, some varying in size. Our friends had a walk-in shower while we had an overhead shower in the bathtub. Quality hairdresser in bathroom and plenty of English TV channels. Comfy beds and large pillows! Aircon worked fine too as middle of heatwave. Must stress location. Walking distance from bus station (10min) and easy access to main square with all the restaurants, bars and castle, palace etc etc. Overall, Guimaraes is such a pretty clean town and cable car to the sanctuary is worth doing. We walked from town centre (15min). Definitely stay again.

Only 3 floors so no lifts! It's like a listed building, ok to renovate but no construction allowed. Parking is available in a nearby underground carpark which you'll have to pay the daily rate but not to the hotel.

The room was clean and spacious. Looked like photos, but maybe even nicer in an old building with some character. Quiet on the most part, with very helpful staff. Bed was fairly comfy, but the pillows were whimsy and lumpy.

Need better pillows. The pillows on my bed were whimsy and lumpy. Like they cut up foam and stuffed the pillow casing. Not the only hotel that had this sort of pillow. Also, I didn't opt to pay for breakfast, but they should still offer free coffee in the morning. I had to pay 4euro for a coffee.

The property is perfectly located near the historic town, walking distance to the bus station and monuments. Although it is not included in the description there is a lift to the 0 and 1 floor so the walk up and downstairs is minimized. The cold buffet breakfast is plentiful and varied with yogurt available as protein.

Getting into and out of the bathtub can be a challenge. But the reward is great hot water from a strong shower. Shower toiletries do not include separate shampoo or conditioner. The towels are slightly smaller than other properties but are really absorbing.

The location is perfect for exploring the old town Guimaraes. Within 5 minutes walk you right in the center. The hotel is nicely decorated inside and staff is super friendly. What I was pleasantly surprised about was the great Wi-Fi coverage, they had a separate network for each floor, luckily with the same password.

The room could have been slightly bigger, but it was ok. Also noises from other rooms, people taking shower, flushing toilets, could be heard inside the room. So sound insulation could be definitely improved.
