Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

A hotel with parking available is a must in Lisbon if you have a car. Street parking is near impossible to find. It is why we chose this hotel. Four of us crammed in a small room with very little space to move. Desk clerk and breakfast staff went over and above to help accommodate our needs.
