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.

O hotel é aparentemente o prédio mais alto da cidade, proporcionando uma vista panorâmica do centro histórico no café da manhã (último andar). É um prédio antigo que foi praticamente todo reformado e o quarto que ficamos tinha um tamanho acima da média, sendo que só o ar condicionado que deixou um pouco a desejar. O staff foi bem atencioso e o check-in/check-out foram bem rápidos. O estacionamento é bem conveniente. A localização é muito boa: ao lado da estação de comboios(trem), cerca de 20 minutos caminhando até o centro histórico e aproximadamente 15 minutos caminhando até um grande supermercado/shopping.

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.
