    We definitly liked the very spacious room with lots of big windows like in a penthouse apartment , the very large bathroom with 2 sinks, a shower cabin and a bathtub separatly, the very good breakfast served in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere listening chill Portugese music with an amanzing panoramic view at level 12. There is a safe underground parking space.The staff was very kind, they helped us to extend our stay with extra 2 nights in the same room, and even gave us some information about the main interests of the small town in a very good English. WELL DONE FUNDATOR TEAM!! YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!! What else could somebody wish for a very pleasant stay?? A 4* hotel in my opinion!

    No remote control for the AC, just a panel on the wall. Bathroom lights was sensor driven, a bit annoying since I pay a nightly visit to the bathroom...

    Exterior of the hotel might look a little bit dingy, but inside it's a whole other world. Room was large and looked newly renovated. Bed was good. Very clean everywhere. Bathroom had nice size and everything was working fine. Breakfast was good, and the view from the restaurant was spectacular. City center is a short walk away. If you arrive by car, there is a garage in the basement. Elevator from the garage, very convenient. A couple of vending machines in the lobby.

    It would have been convenient to have a slightly larger menu in the bar on the 12th floor.

    The room was much larger than a normal room. It had a great view out toward the historic center.

    The carpark layout is a bit chaotic with several spots having structural columns in sides or even in front in the middle. We had a mid-size hatch (Nissan Qashqai) and most of the parking spots were so tight we were unable to use some. There is apparently an overflow carpark next door which would solve the issue so not considered a big problem by us. We maganged to park ok every day but this was our only real concern

    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

    Nothing really.

    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.

    As we drove up to the hotel for the first time it was difficult to sort out where to park and unload our suitcase. It took three passes by the hotel until we finally figured there was an outdoor parking behind the hotel where we could temporarily leave the car and unload. It would have been beneficial to have the parking area for unloading better marked. As well, if the hotel had indicated that there was parking behind the building for unloading it would have prevented the stress of going around the roundabout three times before we figured out where to park the car to unload.

    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.

    Whilst the bathroom was everything you would like, it was missing a box of facial tissues (but I purchased a box at the nearby supermarket). The hotel does not have a restaurant, but there are good small restaurants within 50 metres.

    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.
