We liked the location of this hotel. We chose Guimaraes instead of Porto as we thought it would be nice to visit both cities over 2 days. This hotel is across the street from the train station; one of the reasons we booked it. This allowed us to take the train into Porto rather than staying in Porto. An additional bonus is that Guimaraes historic district is within walking distance from the hotel. Day 1 we explored Guimaraes. Day 2 was off to Porto. The train was about 1 hour to Porto and took us to Sao Bento station, right in the heart of Porto. Initially, as we drove up to the hotel we were not sure we had made the right choice. However, check-in was easy and we were given a suite on the 10th floor with a view of the historic district. Breakfast was included and it was really good; big selection of items at the buffet. Indoor parking was provided at no charge; it's covered indoor parking. Would definitely stay here again.

Very large and comfortable double room, with large windows with sheer curtains for daytime light and heavy drapes for sleep time. Very quiet, extremely clean, serviced daily. Very good complimentary continental breakfast served on the scenic top floor of the hotel with outstanding 270 degree views of the city and surrounding hillsides. Breakfast included scrambled eggs, sliced meats, cheeses, croissants, fruits, cereals, toast, bread rolls, sliced cakes, fruit juices, coffee, tea, etc. Very large well-priced supermarket only 100 metres away. Historic "old town", the centre of the city is within walking distance or only a EUR3.50 Uber fare. Great facility.

Was a very nice hotel, staff were both friendly and helpful on reception and the bar. Snack bar food was good. If travelling by car, they have a secure carpark under the hotel. Train there is a train station few hundred metres down the street from the entrance, our room faced this direction and was no noise from the road or rail, we were also low down. The view from the bar and breakfast room (breakfast was good) looked over the town and from its vantage point quite stunning. An easy walk into town and you are on the outskirts of the old town within 5 to 10minute walk, dependant on pace. Would stay here again for sure if coming to the area.

My wife and I were staying for our wedding anniversary and new years, we booked a suite as the photos showed an amazing room with great view and bathtub. The Suit we were given was not the one in the photos, this could have really impacted our celebrations but the team managed to switch us to the room photographed after we spoke to them. The hotel was quite full so we were very thankful to the team for managing to switch our room

That is a nice, super convenient hotel right near the train station (yet very quiet). My room had a wonderful, picturesque view of the city. The area is safe. The staff is helpful, polite. Downstairs there is a useful machine that delivers snacks and beverages and there are two big supermarkets at walking distance in case you need sth. There are a couple of restaurants nearby, too.
