Hotel da Oliveira

The hotel is right in the historical center of Guimarães but still offers parking (100m down the road). The room was absolutely fantastic, so comfortable and neat. We had a gorgeous balcony opened to the pedestrian street below, the bed had 3 different sort of pillows to choose from, I couldn’t fault anything. The staff was extremely cordial and kind, especially considering my husband’s mishap at breakfast when he spilled coffee all over the counter (we’re terribly sorry). They were all lovely to us from the first minute to the last! Great impression since it’s our first time in the city, but we’ll definitely be back and stay here again!

Great location in the historic area. Had to park our car in an off-site garage because cars not allowed in the area. Hotel directed us and made it easy. Very reasonable price. Buffet breakfast was very good. There was an option for eggs made to order, but we we wanted to get on the road early so we didn't take advantage of that. Dinner at the HOOL restaurant was very good and weather was perfect for eating outdoors. Only downside was a large group of many smoking cigars (maybe allowing that it standard in Portugal, but not in the U.S.).

Location: excellent. Breakfast: was very very good. Selection of fruit, cereals, yoghurts, cooked breakfast, breads, jams, etc was much more than expected. Room: was a good size, bed very comfortable, bathroom was well appointed - everything was spotless. Although the hotel is in the centre of a popular area we did not hear any noise inside. Staff were very helpful, pleasant, and went out of their way to help us. eg online booking of seats on airport bus, taxis etc.

The property was perfect. A lovely old building in the square. The room was stunning with the view over the square and to the church. The shuttered windows and small balcony was delightful. The room was huge and very tastefully decorated. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed people watching sat on the square as we ate our breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A place like this anywhere else in Europe would cost a lot more money! Heaven!

excellent location in historic place and nice modern interior nicely integrated in historic house . you don t expect that from the outside which is nice as well but very different - really well done. enjoyed specifically service and cleanness. special thanks to the receptionist which guided me to the great parking spot - very comfortable , secured 100m away from the hotel 👍 and many hotels can learn that you should not charge a second room while offering a parking spot ….
