    Great experience!!! The service was excellent. The room clean and quiet. The breakfast was excellent as well with many choices. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the stay. This is a hotel built in the. 1500’s so it is historical . It is also next to the train and bus stations making it a convenient base.

    This boutique hotel is beautiful. The oldest manor house in town dating back to 1508. Staff were excellent. Breakfast was lovely. They even provided a gift for our dog Lizzy. The best!

    Beautiful hotel in a beautiful city

    rating03 Oct 2025

    The Manager of the hotel was really personable and professional and very helpful with extending our check out as I was really sick and called ahead to the hotel I was going to in order to make sure I could get an early check in. He called a taxi for us to the next hotel.The hotel itself is just beautiful. There is a brewery/bar connected to the hotel that was lively in the evening.

    Excellent area for walking around Viana.

    rating25 Sept 2025

    Hotel in excellent location top of the main Avenue. Underground car park beside hotel €10 per night and can be paid at reception when checking in. She will give you card that has to be scanned entering and exiting. Our room and bathroom spotlessly clean. Why I did not give this hotel 5* was because of blonde lady serving breakfasts was extremely noisy banging and clattering delph and cutlery which could be heard from reception area. Not a relaxing environment! No yogurt served at breakfast and was asked by numerous guests on both mornings we were there. Small swimming/dip pool and outdoor beds clean but outdoor furniture on bedroom terrace should be skipped asap.
