“The location strikes a nice balance, set slightly apart from the old city's bustle, yet still an easy walk to the main attractions. I appreciate its smaller size and eco-conscious approach, and the staff appears genuinely helpful, particularly with directions and luggage. Though it lacks a full lift, the hotel's charm, convenient parking, and overall value make it a worthwhile base for exploring Guimaraes.”
