My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant due to the friendly atmosphere and clean surroundings. The location is decent, with good restaurants nearby, although the street work outside made things a bit inconvenient. The rooms were nice and spacious, but check-in could’ve been smoother. Overall, I feel like I got good value for my money, but there’s room for improvement in service consistency.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is well-located with some great restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and spacious, although I did find them a tad too close to the elevator. The service was a mix; the initial check-in was a bit off-putting due to a grumpy receptionist who, interestingly, turned out to be the owner. Overall, the dining options left something to be desired, but the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Great value for money overall.

The hotel is situated in a somewhat quiet area, which is nice, and it's not too far from Guimaraes city. The rooms are immaculate and quite spacious, perfect for relaxation, but being next to the elevator was a bit distracting. The staff had a friendly vibe, despite the initial appearance of the owner. The dining options could use some improvement, as they felt a bit basic for my taste, though the quality was decent. Location-wise, it’s surrounded by good restaurants, although streetwork made it a little inconvenient at times.
