Hotel berhampiran Largo de Donães, Guimaraes

We were there around end of December, 2022. The owners started this business 6 months before our stay. They are so nice to accommodate all our requests, like gave us a microwave oven while our stay, so we could have take out food. The breakfast had eggs, cheese, yogurt, cold cuts and great coffee. Good food, service, and clean. 3 things to notice: —It’s not 24 hours hotel, so be sure your get code from order website to get in, and remember the owner phone number. The owner showed up in several minutes. —It’s 7 -10 walking minutes from train station with slopes . Not difficult for us, but if your physical ability do not allow, call Uber around 4-6 euros. —There is no elevator , only stairs to 2nd floor. Ask for downstairs if you can’t handle luggage. There is only one room downstairs, with a small yard. It’s an extension attachment, so we heard the rain dancing on top, or imagine it was a symphony, it didn’t bother us. The owners knew it, we suggested build a V roof , instead of the current flat one. The environment is so convenient, 2 grocery stores almost next door, bus stops in front , many restaurants. 15 minutes walk to castle/palace, a must go. We like the place very much, a good offer for the money.

Ibis Guimaraes Centro Guimaraes Second time, and last time...... While in Guimarães we realised why we had such a problem finding a hotel in the area we wanted to be in, as there was the CONTEXTILE 2022 - Contemporary Textile Art Biennial 03.09. – 30.10.2022. The town was absolutely heaving the weekend we were there. It is over twenty years since we stayed in an IBIS hotel, and that was in the UK. We thought we would give this a try as we had no luck getting in anywhere else even though we looked early enough in the year for a place. We booked months ago. We had just arrived back from a break in Porto and the Açores. So this is our second stay in an Ibis hotel, and definitely our last! After checking in the previous evening, we went to the bar and asked for a beer and a glass of white wine. The chap on reception said we could only have a white wine if we bought the bottle, so we declined that offer as my husband only drinks red wine or beer. Later in the evening we arrived back and a young woman was on reception/bar duty. So I asked if I could have a glass of red wine? She told me I would have to buy a bottle of red! I asked her if they did anything by the glass? Yes, was her reply, I could buy a glass of white wine, which I did, and my husband had a beer. I don't know why the receptionist /barman told us why we would have to buy white wine when we were basically in Vinho Verde region where it is abundant! The room itself was clean and tidy, but in a time warp of the nineteen seventies with it's Neopolitan decor. Bed is comfy enough. The power block and the aircon were the only bonuses I can think of. Only a bath towel each, no hand towels, we really do like a hand towel after washing our hands and faces, NOT ideal to use a bath towel for this! The receptionist who worked mornings was very helpful and pleasant. As for breakfast, which was adequate, the fact that two people sat at a table for four, every morning while we were there, and put their bags and scarves on the chairs beside them is really annoying. Trying to get a table at your allotted time is bad enough, getting a table with two chairs was almost impossible at times. I asked for a chair, and the elderly woman looked at me with steely eyes because I was expecting her to put her bag and scarf on her knee, or at worst, the floor! How inconsiderate am I? I felt sorry for the lady who was in charge of making sure everything was there for breakfast, she was on her own and very busy. So many people just left their dirty trays on the tables and walked away knowing that other people would be turning up for breakfast. We all like to sit down to a clean table, but if other guests are too lazy to move their dirty trays, then there isn't a lot you can do about improving their manners. Three people turned up one morning and they stood by the table and waited for the lady who ran the kitchen, to come out of the kitchen to move the dirty trays to the trolley for them, the trolley being less tha

Quite amazing hotel in a converted monastery. The rooms are not huge, but that didn't spoil anything. It's an easy walk in to the town. We had lunch in town and spent the afternoon in the beautiful hotel pool. The hotel grounds are well kept and offer unexpected treats such as the waterfalls. Dinner at the hotel was a treat, the food was excellent and the service first class. All the staff were friendly, professional and welcoming. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel. It's something special. Remember to download the Bolt ride share app for an easy and cheap ride from town back to the hotel.

I stayed here one night following my football team in Braga. It was one of the last hotels in the area that was still available, but travel to nearby Braga was only possible by taxi. The hotel was very basic. - The toilet was in a poor state of repair. There was often no hot water, and the shower runs off the tap water so this made showering difficult. The bathroom sink was made of stainless steel, which was reminiscent of a prison cell. - There is no heating, the air con only cools the room. It was cold weather during my stay, which made for a very uncomfortable sleep. - Reception is manned 24 hours a day, which was useful for getting bottled water when I arrived back late at night. It was also useful for getting a taxi so I could escape back to civilisation when I left early in the morning to go home. Don’t stay here at all if you’re actually on holiday, and if you’re just stopping over… still don’t stay here if there is literally anything else available.

Great hotel with a great bar and great service. Everything you need for a comfortable and worry free holiday. Thank you to all the team 🙌

Es kam alles anders als geplant. Ursprünglich war Famalicao als Mittelpunkt für Fußballspiele und die umliegenden Städte wie Braga, Barcelos oder Guimaraes sowie das Douro-Tal geplant, am Ende verbrachte ich eine Woche mit Corona in diesem Hotel. Hier darf ich das Hotelpersonal sehr loben, die mir gute Empfehlungen für Apotheken und Teststellen geben konnten. Neben dem Hotel gibt es zum Glück auch einen großen Supermarkt. Das Hotel liegt direkt gegenüber dem Fußballstadion vom FC Famalicao. Ich konnte vom Zimmer direkt auf das Stadion blicken. Das Hotel ist noch sehr neu und die Zimmer waren exzellent isoliert zum Gang und den Nachbarzimmern, ein riesiges Qualitätsmerkmal meiner Meinung nach. Auch das Badezimmer war sehr modern gestaltet mit Regenwalddusche. Das Frühstück (das man in Portugal aufgrund fehlender Isolationspflicht auch normal einnehmen darf) hat mich hingegen leider nicht überzeugt. Es gab jeden Tag exakt das Gleiche, aber zum Glück hatte ich sowieso nicht so viel Hunger. Kostenlosen Tee oder Kaffee kann man sich den ganzen Tag an der Tee-Bar holen.
