Hotel 3 Bintang di Coração de Jesus

Hotel bem localizado a uns 15 minutos de caminhada leve a partir da rodoviária de Viseu. Lugar tranquilo, café da manhã bom, limpeza muito boa, cama boa, ar refrigerado, frigobar, TV a cabo com muitos canais, elevador. Meu quarto era de fundos no primeiro andar mas tinha varanda com mesa e cadeiras. Muito bom.

Hotel Avenida is a 4-star boutique hotel right on the Praca da Republica in the center of Viseu. The hotel staff was warm welcoming and helpful (happily taking our bags in the morning before check in so we could explore the city). English and some other languages are spoken if needed. The room was delighful; spotlessly clean and enormous (although I must note that we did get a deluxe double). The bed was clean and comfortable (if a bit on the firm side). The bathroom had a fantastic shower and a new modern tub big enough for a swim (ok, maybe not, but still very big!). In spite of being right in the center of town, the room was quiet and the electric shades worked perfectly. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, especially the fruit and pastries. The hot food selection was a bit sparse, but the selection was hot and kept stocked. We highly recommend this hotel fo visitors to Viseu.

Reserved a triple room for 2 nights. I have phoned previously to ensure we would have the best room possible, on a higher floor - even allowed a possible upgrade to have the best experience possible. Arrived at 9PM. No concierge, rough and plainer customer attendance. Made me pay in advance, even though my credit card number was sent as I’ve booked the room, so the hotel had all warranties needed. Placed us on the first floor, hock means they didn’t care about my previous phone call and expectations. As we arrived in the room, we realised it was very dated, furniture eas falling apart, cracks on the walls, etc. Beds, we and tb were ok, mini bar with a couple of bottles, court wins and other amenities too old. We asked to change the room, because of cracks and so. They changed us to a double room with an extra bed which was actually better than the previous one(!). Overall very dated The rest of the. Hotel is ok. Good breakfast, great location, nice service. Fair SPA (it was nice actually, but every one could get is, specifically kids - why do they call it a SPA if it’s only an indoor pool?) In a nutshell: it’s not bad, pretty clean and fair. Should be cheaper - value for money is not ok - and definitely NOT a 5 star. An average 4 star, at most
