This is my second stay at this hotel and I continue to love the quality of the service and rooms. I selected a larger room and it was so nice to hang out in. The location of the hotel is perfect - right off Camino trail. The breakfast very good and had lots to offer.
The staff so kind and informative. Great location by train station & funicular. Restaurant& bar just on the first floor. Breakfast good. I liked how the rooms were authenticly staged.
Very friendly staff, clean room, and relatively comfortable bed (for a European hotel). The views from the room were really nice, and location was great. The off-site parking was a little challenging.

The electricity was not working in the first room. We were upgraded to a bigger room but here the air conditioning was ineffective. It was at the time of year (mid-April) when the system needed changing from heating to cooling. This change had not yet been effected. The staff were helpful and offered us an electric fan. The curtains were hung badly - not what you expect in a 4* hotel. However, overall we enjoyed our stay.
I liked everything! Receptionists, very professional. Hotel itself wonderful! Breakfast delicious! The swimming pool area perfect to refresh your skin during the hot days! Hotel very secure and safe!
All touristic areas very attractive!
Lovely city of Viana do Castelo!
A little bit of a mix up on my reservation, however, Pedro went above and beyond to help sort it out. The hotel is amazing!

Overall a conveniently located hotel in the heart of the city. The “pool” is more of a large bathtub than a pool really but that did not bother us. The restaurant on site has limited options and room service is non existent. You are paying for the location although our room was nice and we had a large terrace. Housekeeping forgot about cleaning the terrace and we found prior guest underwear outside which was a bit strange
Beautiful 16th century building, handsomely renovated, clean, spacious and interesting. Lovely secluded pool too. Amazing staff, super friendly and attentive. Had a great stay and happy to recommend.
This is a wonderful hotel in a historic building. The hotel has a beer garden and a pool, and is walking distance from many dining options. The staff was friendly and helpful. I wish we had more time there!
What a charming place! Right next to the train station, the breakfast was good and so pretty! Loved the unique touches like the stone seats by the windows
Easy to find; central, near station. Historic building.
Friendly check in.
Lovely spacious room with plenty of character.
Comfy bed
Excellent breakfast
Wished we coukd have stayed longer
