No sleeping
11 Sept 2026
The hotel it self is excellent but sleeping is not possible on the northwest side of the hotel as a dog in a private dwelling barks all night long. So I would never stay here again and would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Well worth a short stay
20 Jul 2026
This hotel had been built as a hospital back in the mid-1800's. This explains the unusual architecture for a hotel; a central grand atrium with all the rooms on four floors around it, large, wood-panelled and spacious rooms with incredibly high ceilings. The outdoor swimming pool is perfect for the hot summer weather and there is a wellness centre/health spa with a small indoor pool, Turkish Bath and Sauna. The hotel hosts entertainment at weekends, mostly along lounge-jazz lines or traditional Portuguese music either outside by the pool or by the grand piano at the centrally-located bar in the atrium. The restaurant fare is extremely good both for breakfast and evening meals. Parking is available. Family-friendly, the staff speak English well and are very helpful. It isn't a cheap stay by any stretch of the imagination (€13.50 for a gin and tonic), but it may be worth experience for a short stay in a pretty unique hotel.

Excellent Experience, Comfort and Value
16 Jun 2026
This was my first time in Viseu and I thoroughly enjoyed the town. It is very walkable and there is beautiful architecture to see. There were many cafes and a nice mix of people, very relaxed vibe. We stayed at Pousada Viseu and it was a beautiful and comfortable hotel. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Our rooms were large and comfortable and quiet. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was delicious and great service. The outdoor pool was cold but actually refreshing, we loved it. Breakfast was also nice with a good selection of breakfast items. The hotel is located right in downtown so it's easy and convenient for walking. Overall we had a perfect experience and are looking forward to returning.Update: returned to this hotel in November with my uncle. Was an excellent experience and great value. We again look forward to returning soon,

A pretentious hotel with no style
29 Mar 2026
A thoroughly disappointing hotel. It pretends to be more upmarket than it actually is. Just because it’s big doesn’t automatically mean it’s stylish. We’ve got a suite. Yes, it’s big. And empty. They’ve definitely skimped on the interior designer (or rather: there wasn’t one), with boxy, bare walls and a single narrow window. A view of what is surely a long-running building site (for which the hotel can’t be blamed, but the pricing of the room in question certainly can). We asked for another room - nope. Although the hotel is far from being fully booked. When we got back from dinner outside: not a single window was lighted. Also a lonesome bar on the (yet again large, but empty) ground floor. No barman. Just one guest in the large hall, with his feet on the table – what was the hotel’s rating again with guests like that? Everyone has their own taste. 4-star Pestana Hotel? Never again.

Quaint and atmospheric.

We enjoyed our stay here with a Newmarket Holidays group. It is a traditional slightly old fashioned, but charming hotel. Very comfortable room and well appointed bedroom and bathroom. The room looked out over the main street towards the palace. The window in the room was very small, but as we were only there a couple of days and we were out sightseeing most of the time it didn't bother us. The bar area was small with insufficient seating for everyone and we had to go outside and cross the main street for our evening meals. This would have been unpleasant if there was rain.Clean well cared for. Quiet room.
