There are not many hotel options in Guimarães, a city that has been inexplicably designated the Cultural Capital of Europe for 2012 even though there does not appear to be much culture there. (Charm, yes. Culture, no.) The Hotel de Guimarães is an adequate lodging option. The location is good. It’s a 10-minute walk to the historic center (though, beware,... More

A good place to stay. OK for the price, although some details show a lack of attention. (broken safe with missing opening knob, dirty window frames,..) but nothing major. Surroundings are not fantastic (abandoned factory on the back, and high bridge on the front) but it is located 20 minutes walk from the absolutely beautiful Guimaraes city center. Hotel restaurant...

The hotel is located right outside the most lovely historical centre of Guimarães, a city I can't recommed enough to be included in a Portugal tour. A short and pleasant walk will get you to the main square and, if by car, in a short ride you get to the roads and the highway. This is a modern, clean and... More

Nice modern rooms. Seems like everything was refurbished but the bathroom though.... How could they forget that? It's on the edge of town, but it's a small town so it doesn't matter. Wifi is free, but you have to ask them for a password every 12 hours and it's a little slow. Otherwise, nice hotel.

It was a great stay at this hotel. It is near to the town centre and near to the highway. The rooms we had (431/432) were brand new. Two nice large beds, nice pillows and a large bathroom with a big shower. All was very clean.The breakfast was also very good, you have a wide variety of choices. The only... More

We stayed for one night at the Hotel de Guimaraes but were not impressed with the service and our room. The reception staff seemed a bit dour and surly and weren't interested in making guests feel welcome. They didn't bother to tell us about the garage at the back of the hotel when we asked about parking. Whiile our bedroom... More

Spacious room, beds were impeccably clean and well-made up. Large television, and mini bar facility in room. The bathroom was spotless. Found the staff to be very friendly, they suggested we leave our car in the secure underground car park after we had checked out, to give us a chance to have a look around the town. We didn't use...

We stayed for two nights in the Hotel de Guimaraes. It is a high rise outside the city center on a hill. Very nice clean modern room with good a/c. Free Wifi,safe and fridge. Free computer in the lobby. There is a closed hotel on one side and a closed textile plant on the other. I imagine this is a... More

Pleasant hotel, friendly staff, the pool is included in the hotel (7,50 €) and belongs to a very nice SPA on the ground floor. I would come back.
