this is an expensive hotel placed very close to the most interesting things to be visited in Viseu. It has extremely spacious sleeping quarters and a decent WC. Pool and gym were free of charge but Internet not!! Breakfast was not good enough specially the warm food. More

This pousada is probably the best hotel we have stayed in. Situated overlooking old Viseu, it is perfectly placed. Beautifully converted, this building retains the elegance of former years. The rooms are big, cleverly designed and well finished. The breakfast selection is huge and varied and offers outstanding food. We didn't eat in the restaurant, but did have the buffet,... More

The pousada in Viseu is hard to find, there are very little signs in the town, indicating the location of this hotel, an ancient hospital. Once you are there, the pousada strikes you by his severe, but beautiful architecture. The rooms are very spacious. So is the whole interior of the hotel. Only very few employees have sufficient command of... More

Pousada de Viseu was the former hospital of this town, which was completely rebuilt to be a hotel (Pousada, more properly). That means that the first impression you have once inside the building is of large space, namely the one of the huge interior "patio". I made an upgrade for a larger room because I was travelling also with my... More

The historical building is beautiful, the amenities are great (superb swimming pool and good spa) however what a wrong decoration/renovation. This modern and simple style does affect the atmosphere and what could have been a great pousada just look like a chain hotel. And what a ugly patio... it does look like an airport waiting room! 20-30 identical couches. The... More

There is a small but very practical gym. The outdoor pool is large but somewhat in the shadow of the building for a... More
