Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Great place in a good spot
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.

Perfect business hotel
This is the perfect business hotel. It’s conveniently located right close by the city centre of Guimares and it has everything you need in terms of business trips needs: good rooms, breakfast and parking on location. It’s not the most good looking hotel from the outside and I would not go for a romantic getaway but it is great for business. Staff is caring and kind.
