Pousada Mosteiro de Guimarães - Monument Hotel

Mega Ambiente, nachts absolute Ruhe und ein wundervoller Park.

Beim Frühstück hätte ich ein bisschen mehr erwartet.

Great location and interesting building

Booked here for a bit of luxury, after a week walking, expected fluffy towels and bathrobes etc like other such similar properties we regularly stay in. Sadly this place didn't deliver. Rooms a bit dated, reception staff ok, but all seemed very impersonal, breakfast staff quite surly to some guests. Had the feeling of an airport hotel, where people are coming and going all the time. If we had not already paid upfront, for two nights we would of left after a couple of hours

The old monastery building is of great interest and charm. The gardens and woods at the rear of the monastery were delightful for a nice walk. Staff were very helpful.

Dinner service on our second night was very delayed. Apparently there was breakdown of equipment in the kitchen but it would be helpful if waiters had advised customers of that at the time.

We enjoyed our stay at Pousada Mosteiro de Guimaraes...the building and common rooms are historical and charming and the gardens are beautiful and a wonderful place to walk in the mornings and evenings. I also travelled with my small dog who was welcomed and treated with kindness. The rooms were small, but comfortable with nice sheets and wonderful old windows. I could do without the electric scent dispensers in the rooms....it was overpowering - I unplugged it immediately.

Our only issue with our stay was the food...we had long days working so had 2 dinners in the hotel, one in the restaurant and the other in the bar area. The restaurant is cavernous and rather empty...the food tries to be more gourmet, yet did not meet expectations and was also very expensive - which I do not mind if I enjoy the meal. The casual bar dinner was better as we could eat outdoors....just ordered a burger for 17 Euros...which was also sub-par! Breakfast was okay...nothing out of the ordinary, I just ended up eating tea and fruit.

parfait!

éloigné du centre ville. nécessite une voiture

O espaço verde que rodeia o hotel, jardins e salões são mágicos

O quarto estava muito abafado

This is an exceptional Pousada. I would come here for any reason. To enjoy not only its physical beauty but the thoughtfullness shown by the staff

Historically, lovely place. The staff was nice. We enjoyed roaming around the beautiful historic hotel. Great view from terrace!!

It’s quite a long walk (complicated drive) to the historic part of the city WAY below (downhill) from the hotel. Also, it’s a little hard get their by car (in our case a rental car). Narrow, steep streets (lanes) getting up to it, but that pretty typical of old castle/monastery hotels situated UP on top of a hill/mountain top.
