Some truly astounding customer service
This review goes well beyond the 5 stars. While the Hotel was magnificent, the customer service shined even brighter.
We arrived in town after a long 6 hour drive through some hard rain. The city had some streets blocked off due to a student parade and it was really difficult to locate the hotel with my GPS. When I called the front desk to get some assistance, they figured out where I was and ran out in the rain to help me finally find the hotel.
Things like this is why I love Portugal so much and the staff at the Conquistador fully embodies this.
Of course they also gave some great dining recommendations and we had a truly memorable dinner as well.

Great small hotel
Super large room with equally large bed which was very comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.
Very easy to get to all the sights and close to parking.
Could find no fault and would stay again and highly recommend

Beautiful building with exceptionally good staff.
The hotel is beautiful and truly reflects the style of a palace, with very high ceilings, grand double doors to the suites and very high quality decor. The real gem at this hotel though is the service. The welcome begins from the moment you pull up outside. Everyone was warm and engaging, which really makes it feel special at this hotel

This is a high quality property in the heart of guimaraes. The rooms are spacious and very confortable. The breakfast is really good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was home for me for 2 weeks. It can’t be closer to main attractions! I highly recommend it.

The absolute best that Portugal has to offer.
If you wish to experience the finest things in life, you will love your stay here. Everything, and I mean everything, is exceptional. We came for one night and stayed for several, even inviting other family members to join us as well. This is an amazing hotel...not a hostel, as has been incorrectly listed on this site.

A Gem of a Hotel
Conquistador Palace is a gem of a hotel. Check-in was quick and efficient. Our room, Monte Carlo, was very spacious and overlooked the pool and terraces, which we could access by stepping out onto the balcony and taking the stairs to each level. I can't remember when I stayed in a room that was so immaculate, including the spacious bathroom. The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, the breakfast was excellent. Best of all was the staff, such sweet people all around. The hotel is in walking distance of just about everything and we felt safe no matter the time of day. I can't wait to go back. This visit was a real treat.

Beautiful restored hotel
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful restored hotel. Definitely one of the nicest rooms we’ve ever stayed in (Premium double room-Miami). The attention to detail is excellent and everyone is very friendly and helpful.
The pool is a delight to cool off in after exploring beautiful Guimares.
Breakfast was very nice too.
Highly recommended!

Absolutely worth the stay.
Probably the best place we have stayed at so far. As a construction guy I really appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this six year renovation. It shows a true passion for authenticity in restoring the building to its former glory. The owner is one of the country’s favorite sons and his family has given them one one thing to brag about.

Lovely hotel, great service and friendly feel
The service was exceptional and breakfast really lovely. I’m vegetarian and they were happy to accommodate. Lovey old hotel renovated to a very high standard and with beautiful linen, towels etc. The entrance to the hotel is quite tucked away and not so easy to find.
