“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

people found this review helpful

This is an old hotel but the rooms are large and well set out. The room we had overlooked a reasonably sized pool that looked well maintained. The breakfast was adequate and if 'food' is your thing there are any number of restaurants nearby.

The hotel is centrally located and there are any number of shops and supermarkets within walking distance,

“Great location--funky and old yet has charm.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

Our hotel (Grao Vasco) is old, yet full of charm. Right in the center of town and very easy to find near the Praca da Republica. Parking on site and easy check in. Our room is very large…lots of space between the beds and a nice balcony which looks out the back and towards the pool. Big, sliding glass doors with a screen. Nice for leaving open for some fresh air.

Drinks at the bar are overpriced...but we found that most hotels in Portugal overcharge in their bars. Better to go to a local establishment and have a drink than in the hotels themselves.

The negative comes from other guests. Someone was having a party or some kind of celebration. It was noisy and loud not only in our hallway, but outside. ALL NIGHT LONG. Closing the sliding glass door didn't help. Honestly, didn't sleep a wink that night. We should have called down to the front desk, but we kept thinking they'd do something about it.

Breakfast was included and was ample. Your typical scrambled eggs, various meats/ham, breads, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, etc. I do love how they serve their milk warmed. Nice touch in Portugal.

Room Tip: Request a pool view on a top floor.

“Comfortable hotel but overpriced for what it offers,.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

This hotel is reasonably attractive and in the center of Viseau. The rooms are nice in a fairly traditional style. There is an outdoor pool but no sauna or spa, which makes is expensive for 75 Euros a night.

“Good commercial hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2009

We were on a 2 and a half week tour with my sister-in-law, drove into Viseu without booking rooms in advance. Fortunately the tourist information was open. After the young lady recommended some hotels, we noticed one across the street. She suggested we check it out, look at the rooms. Which we did. Our rooms were excellent, overlooking the garden, and very reasonably priced. The bathroom had deferred maintenance but was fine. The tourist office also recommended a restaurant which served local cuisine and was superb - hard to find but well-worth the search.
