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.

Large family rooms
Nice hotel with free underground parking. We were able to check-in early and park the car. Our family room was very large with the 2nd twin bed set in an alcove. The beds were comfortable but the sound proofing could be improved. Breakfast was fine but the coffee and juice were poor. The location of the hotel is very handy for the walk into town, approx 15mins & there is a restaurant just opposite the train station that is lovely and only 2 minutes from the hotel

Beautiful view from the top floor buffet.
We were able to walk into the older part of town, but it is at least six blocks to reach the edge of the tourist area. The hotel has a free parking garage. The Wi-Fi was good. The breakfast buffet included lots of fruit choices.
