Everything perfect. The hotel main floor is marvelous, a great pleasure to enjoy it. The room is comfortable. The Hotel location couldn’t be better, at the center of the old center. The only thing to regret is that the Parking Lot is a bit far away from the hotel and you have to carry your baggage to the hotel.

A fabulous boutique hotel in the historic centre of an historic town. Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and a good breakfast made for a memorable stay. Parking is secure either underground or on the street, albeit about 100m from the hotel. There are many restaurants, bars etc. very close-by.

This hotel, situated in the old town, was superb. We were greeted on arrival with a cup of coffee, and seated in this elegant, book lined foyer on very comfortable chairs. The bed room was spacious, elegant and offered all the toiletries. The sheets were super soft as was the bed. The one negative was the air conditioning did not seem to function and the lift at times malfunctioned. The staff were extremely warm and generous of their time. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is like stepping back in time. It is beautiful and is located on the main square of the old city. However it is very quiet and safe. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but it is a Michelin restaurant and is very beautiful. The breakfast they served in the morning was amazing. The room was very clean and in good condition. The wall thermostat needed some repair but it still worked just fine. The art work in the room and halls was beautiful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

It is also conveniently located so you can walk into the newer parts of town to shop and eat as well. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast was well appointed and nicely laid out with excellent service. Eggs are freshly cooked to your preference. The wooden shutters on the room balcony and window were very nice. Hotel parking is at site located a short walk from the hotel and google maps directions to the hotel direct you up a one-way street. The only negative is that there was an issue with the shower pan separating form the wall in one corner which caused some moisture damage to show on the shower wall.

The reading room was my favorite place after a long day of touring. We loved being able to help ourselves to tea or espresso in that special place. The breakfast was absolutely perfect and the room was very comfortable. I was concerned about not having a room overlooking the square, but in the end I was happier since the square fills with people late into the night and we didn't hear any of it!

This was our second stay at the Hotel da Oliveira. All being well, we shall be returning again. It is a most elegant space in the historical quarter, with themed guest rooms (ours was named after the inscription of the city on the UNESCO World Heritage List). LOCATION: Situated at the very heart of the Centro Historico, the hotel is a short taxi ride from the train station and the bus station (even walkable with light luggage). HISTORY: The elegant breakfast verandah of the hotel opens out onto the historical Largo da Oliveira, while the main entrance to the hotel opens onto the Rua de Santa Maria, said to be the first road built in Portugal (Guimarães being where Portugal's history begins). At its upper end, the Rua de Santa Maria culminates in the Paço dos Duques de Bragança and the Castelo de Guimarães, while at its lower end it becomes a part of the Largo da Oliveira, with the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira. While the latter is still a living church, a part of it has been converted into the Museu de Alberto Sampaio (at the height of the summer holidays, the museum stays open late into the night). Guests of the hotel are within walking distance of all key sights, and a walk away from the Teleférico de Guimarães, the cable car that transports one to Monte da Penha.
