    The food (dinner) can be better and it would be nice if there were newspapers or games etc offered for guests

    Staff was great as was the location, also very much appreciated the staff and pool was nice. Great breakfast.

    Furniture and finishing touches are a bit tired. The quality of the food is subpar.

    The breakfast did not match the property value as it could be better. The evening meal was also sub par for a hotel of this price and feeling.

    This hotel is all about the views. Spectacular does not even begin to describe them. The beds were comfortable and the whole hotel has the charm of a time in the past (in a good way) The pool was nice and quiet, a good place to relax in a hot afternoon.

    Perfect

    Iconic vista from a beautiful hotel We had such a special time here. The staff were perfect, of particular note were the senhor on the front desk, and Ricardo in the restaurant. They worked so hard and were always professional. The birthday cake and fizz I had were special treats and delicious. Thank you so much. We would love to return.

    The room was a little tired and a lot smaller than we expected for a 'Superior Double' not even a space to put a laptop which had to be balanced on a wobbly small round table. The bathroom, marble tiled was large and out of proportion with the bedroom. Shower over bath.

    The location and spectacular view from the very small balcony, The meals both breakfast and dinner were good. Plenty of outdoor car park spaces available. A short walk down to the Santa Luzia church and funicular.

    Wow what a view! It is amazing and the hotel is very beautiful. It has nice swimming poool outside, but it was too cold for us to use. The room was spacious. The breakfast is very good and many choices, well presented. The staff is friendly and flexible. Nice restaurant and bar with the stunning view. It is place to enjoy by just do nothing.

    Very small criticism, the waiters were very good and very efficient but we felt we were rushed at dinner especially as there was no one else to take our tables - so staff need to balance efficiently with not rushing guest -

    Beautiful location , and lovely hotel

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    The hotel is in a fabulous location high above Viana do Castelo so the view is amazing. The road up to it is winding but we had a car so that was fine. We saw a few taxis come and go so presumably it is easy to organise transport (the funicular was closed for maintenance during our stay). The food in the restaurant was delicious so we ate there both nights and there was a very comfortable lounge with a bar, and a separate billiard room. The pool looked lovely but was too cold for a swim while we were there. There were plenty of options at breakfast and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.
