“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.

“Fine but old fashioned”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2008

This is a 4*-hotel with characteristics of 4* in the 19xx's! A lot of dark wood, red carpet, brass and silver, cream coloured tiles in the bathroom. It's not what I like, but it is nevertheless a fine hotel: good location (if you arrive by car, follow signs for tourist office, because they are just opposite (and have free car park)), spacious and clean rooms, good breakfast, swimming pool.

“Good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2008

The Hotel is located in Viseu a town in center-north of Portugal.
The building has an architecture near the 50's and 60's style, that is very "solid" and heavy.
The rooms are enough good but show the age of the hotel and in a certain way are old fashioned.But in practical terma they have all confort.
The same old fasioned ambiance we can find in lobby and restaurant.
The service on recetion as well in rooms is very kind and efficient.
The food in restaurant is near the average and definively I think is better and cheaper to eat in town.

“Lovely Little Hotel in the Heart of Viseu”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2005
9
people found this review helpful

The hotel is very good and very central. It's listed as a 4 star but they were still in the process of installing mini-bars. Also TV channels are limited, but because you are in the middle of the town you can take a walk and enjoy the local culture. The food at the hotel was also very good. Rooms facing the pool are nice and quiet.
