This hotel is magnificent! We were immediately pleased walking into the lovely, spacious lobby, greeted by a very friendly staff member, who explained the facilities to us. Our room was beautifully decorated, with a comfotable bed, chairs and tables, and a separate sitting area with a sofa. The bathroom was also spacious and very nice. In addition, there's an interesting and inviting library with a number of seating areas and game tables. Each floor also has beautiful seating spaces. Breakfast each day was a delight as well. The concierge staff were extremely helpful, beyond what we would have expected. We would happily stay in this hotel whenever possible.

The Hotel has created a characterful place to enjoy your stay. Excellent location close to the Town and the funicular railway. Lovely variety of restaurants all within easy walking distance. Amazed at just how interesting the Hospital Ship was. A special mention must be made for Rui Braga. He helped me charge the car when the charging point outside was found to be unavailable to me. Thanks Rui, you're a star.

The hotel is beautifully restored with such care and attention to detail. From the moment that you arrive the service is excellent. The staff were friendly and professional but particular compliments to the concierge who was excellent - warm, welcoming, attentive, kind. He enhanced our experience. The hotel happily stored our bicycles in a secure location and the concierge worked to ensure that we had all that we needed. Check in was seamless. The bedrooms were beautiful, very comfortable and clean. The breakfast service was top notch, again a very professional and attentive staff taking care of service. I will most certainly come back again and would happily recommend to anyone visiting. Excellent experience.

My wife and I stayed in the Casa Melo Alvim in Viana do Castelo for one night during a holiday in Portugal. Apparently, the hotel is in the oldest surviving urban manor house in the city, dating back to the 16th century, so it has many interesting old features in its 20 rooms. It is a relatively short walk to the historical city centre. There is an underground car park next to the hotel, although you can unload your suitcases outside the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a 4-poster bed. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was good.

Fantastic welcome …. beautiful location and wonderful breakfast. From the moment we arrived after a very long walk on the Camino, we were made feel so welcome by the lovely Gentleman on reception. He was one of the kindest and sweetest Portuguese people we met on our trip. Breakfast was fabulous and they even organised to have it earlier for us as we had an early start. We had the most delicious fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, pastries etc and couldn’t fault it. Would highly recommend

The hotel deserves its good ratings. Bags of character in a historic building in the centre of a delightful town. Good quality buffet style breakfast, too. Free public parking doesn't seem to exist but the hotel offers a special rate in a high end underground car park a few yards away (10 Euros/day at the time of writing).

Great location for this stylish hotel. Old building converted with taste. Nice touch of mid century design furniture in the Nordic tradition... Hans Wegner would be feeling right at home.! Good bed and big bathroom. Has an elevator..!

Wonderful hotel in a perfect location. Everything was fabulous. The breakfast was incredible. The staff are beyond helpful. I'm hiking the Camino and originally booked 2 nights. I added a 3rd night after spending 1 night there.

Very centrally located, right by the station but very quiet inside. Gorgeous historic features such as stone staircases and high ceilings. Good sized bathroom. The buffet breakfast was very good, with a variety of fresh products and cooked options. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is useful underground parking in nearby car park, although you have to pay for it. Our room was huge with a carved ceiling and views across the street.

The location was perfect. It was a beautiful boutique hotel, which was the oldest house in the area.it had a lot of character. The staff were all wonderful and friendly. It was beside a shopping mall and the train station, but you did not hear the noise. Parking was easy.
