Uitstekend hotel in het centrum, met een grote gratis parkeerplaats tegenover. Alles zeer netjes en schoon. Live pianomuziek bij het ontbijt. Jammer dat er geen terras buiten mogelijk is.

Fantastic hotel! Welcomed us at reception with a welcome glass of wine. The pianist in the lobby creates a wonderful atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable. The spa facilities were so appreciated after the long day of Camino. And the best was their breakfast offering. 5 stars all the way!

Sehr nettes Hotel mit ebenso nettem Personal mitten in der Innenstadt. Sehr gutes Frühstück und sehr gutes Restaurant. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkte: Die weinrote Fassade des Hotels reicht, die vier Wände des Zimmers in demselben Rot war etwas zu viel. ;-) 5* in allen Bereichen der Bewertung voll verdient.

Spa was wonderful! The only downside was the tv welcome message came on twice in the middle of the night in my room and my friend's next door. Obviously this was annoying and woke us both up. The drinks at the bar were excellent but took awhile for the bartender to return. We enjoyed the piano player at breakfast. The beds were very comfortable.

If you miss British hotels of the 1970s this is the place for you. Faded grandeur, bizarre dress code rules and a general lack of basic maintenance. The staff are very polite and friendly but I think management isn’t really bothered about updating things. The rooms vary from quite dated and shabby to very nice, so be clear about what you’re booking. I changed from one “superior” room to another and it was considerably nicer.

Amamos tanto Viana do Castelo quanto a hospedagem. Foram momentos especiais que nos deixaram com vontade de regressar outras vezes. Sobre o hotel boutique, elogios à equipe, limpeza, café da manhã, decoração, atmosfera cultural, só não experimentamos a área de spa e o jantar, fica pra outra oportunidade.

This is a lovely hotel in a central location. The breakfast is outstanding and the room, though small-ish by American standards, was very nice. The balcony was nice, but unusable in the rain - no roof cover whatsoever. I wish there was a comfortable chair in the room. Just a small upholstered stool for sitting at a little table. Not good for remote working.
