Our room was very clean, comfortable and bigger than we expected. All staff we met were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast also exceeded our expectations. We have been very happy with our stay.
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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.
A hotel with parking available is a must in Lisbon if you have a car. Street parking is near impossible to find. It is why we chose this hotel. Four of us crammed in a small room with very little space to move. Desk clerk and breakfast staff went over and above to help accommodate our needs.
No air condition But the front desk lady ( very kind lady I forgot her name) understood our problem and changed our room to different room to get more fresh air .
