Great place in a good spot
The room was spacious, clean, modern and very walkable to the nearby historical attractions and restaurants. The staff were wonderful, friendly, and very helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. Would definitely stay here again when in Guimarães.

Very impressed with this hotel - it had plenty of space, was modern and clean, free parking and a free breakfast on the 12th floor with incredible views of Guimaraes. Good value too. It's next to the train station so it is convenient (I didn't hear any noise from trains or road). It's a 5-10 minutes walk into the old centre, but plenty of restaurants along the way. I'd stay here again.

I liked the location. The breakfast was wonderful especially dining with a view.
The room, on the 11th floor, was like a sauna. Airconditioning did not work. It only pumped out heat and was very noisy. Better wear ear plugs as the rooms are very noisy.
