A wonderful Gem
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

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.

Excellent stay. Location was convenient, quiet, room was very clean and the included breakfast had a good variety of options. There was no problem leaving bags in a locked area both before and after checkout. I've recommended for friends if they visit.

Great hotel, change the bathroom doors please.
The people that were at the front desk were very nice! The beds were clean! They should replace the Shower and toilet doors with ones that are not see-through.It was in a good location.

no privacy in toilet & shower
The building & room was in excellent condition. The service was friendly & attentive. The breakfast was had good variety & fresh buns. The only strange thing was the shower & toilet stalls in the room weren’t completely private. They both had frosted glass doors which didn’t extend fully to the ceiling so you can hear when someone was using the toilet and we had to let each other know when we were showering so we could step in & out of the shower with some privacy. Perhaps it’s a European thing??

The property is fully renovated and in great condition. Location is excellent since it is right downtown. Public parking is covered and right next to the hotel. Breakfast buffet was quite good, except the coffee (Nespresso), but I am quite picky about my coffee.
