Flag Design Hotel

What guests think

Many guests praise Flag Design Hotel for its central, walkable location, very clean and comfortable rooms within a tastefully renovated historic building, and warm, helpful staff, making it an appealing base for exploring Viana do Castelo.

Rooms are often spacious and well decorated, but several guests reported street or ground-floor noise and occasional dark outlooks from internal courtyards, plus minor issues like firm mattresses or see-through bathroom doors. Facilities include a rooftop pool popular for its views though shallow with limited seating, and parking is mainly via a nearby paid underground garage with hotel rates while street parking is scarce. Breakfast is generally appreciated, yet some found the selection basic, lacking hot items, or the coffee underwhelming. Expect a stylish, central stay with welcoming service and a few trade-offs around room placement and amenities.

Facilities

The rooftop pool is praised for its views, though it is shallow and seating is limited. Parking is mostly via a nearby underground garage with hotel rates; street parking is scarce, and a small Turkish bath felt underwhelming to some.

bel hôtel situé a deux pas du centre historique , en plein centre des rue commerçantes. bon accueil avec toutes les explications nécessaires sur l'établissement et les visites aux alentours ainsi que des adresses de restaurant. la chambre Deluxe est tres grande, joliment décorée et propre.les peignoirs pour la piscine sont un plus. les produits de toilettes sont de qualité. le lit est tres grand et confortable l'hotel est calme. le petit déjeuner est correct avec du choix mais les produits sont de grandes distribution. le personnel est professionnel. une bonne adresse pour visiter Viana do Castello la piscine sur le toit a un tres beau point de vue, mais elle manque de profondeur, on ne peut pas nager, et il n'y a pas de transat ou de chaise confortables pour se poser.

I’m just not a huge fan of a room that looks into an internal courtyard as I find them a bit darker and claustrophobic. It didn’t help that I was staying at the hotel during bad weather. Bathroom had a damp smell, from lack of ventilation. It was a good size and good shower though. Bed mattress was a little firm. The Turkish bath element was also not what I was expecting and was a sad looking little room. Overall wouldn’t rave about this hotel, but it was fine for a one night stay.

This was a delightful discovery. The description of the hotel's location didn't do it justice and the facilities were very good. The main challenge was accessing it via car, as the streets are very narrow, but once located, the parking was straightforward. It is a good value place and well worth checking out in this lovely Portuguese costal town.

This place is unbelievably beautiful and wonderful. The hotel uses nautical flags instead of room numbers as a nod to the town’s history. The rooms are large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The breakfast was a very good European style breakfast. What really makes this place is the staff. Albert checked us in and then gave us a brief history of the hotel and explained different sites around town. After walking around a bit, we promptly booked a second night. This will be my go to when coming to Viana do Castelo

O quarto que nos foi atribuído é para hóspedes de mobilidade reduzida, o qual se encontra ao lado do restaurante onde servem os pequenos almoços. Além de termos de ouvir as máquinas dos ares condicionados no exterior a trabalhar a noite toda, a partir das 6:30 da manhã já ouvíamos pratos e talheres. Trata-se de um quarto sem qualquer tipo de insonirização e faz-nos sentir como se estivéssemos numa cave. Como está num corredor principal de acesso à recepção ouvíamos os ruídos das malas e das pessoas a passar. Julgo que este quarto deve ser atribuído a um valor reduzido e/ou dado a conhecer ao hóspede as condições do mesmo. Não deve ser cobrado o valor de um quarto noutra zona do hotel. Principalmente em época alta com os preços praticados nessa altura. Estivemos hospedados em março e não hesitamos em regressar agora. Devido a esta experiência não iremos voltar. Alertamos para a situação visto que quando manifestamos o nosso desagrado nada foi feito para alterar ou compensar a situação.
