Fabulous surprise!

Reviewed By 711Rancherswife

This was one of my favorite stays during our 3 week road trip through Portugal. It was a special experience staying in an old monastery; the building is beautifully restored and is wonderfully comfortable. It does take good navigational skills to find it and wind up the narrow roads (thank you Google!) but it is worth it. Staff are exceptional and the property is spectacular. Meals are excellent too. We enjoyed the hotel so much that after we checked in in the early afternoon, we didn't go anywhere and just soaked up the ambience.

Perfect!

Reviewed By O3107DFdavids

We happened upon the Hotel da Oliveira (HOOL) by chance and were so impressed that we changed our plans and stayed there for the duration of our vacation. HOOL is located at the centre of everything in Guimaraes. Our room overlooked the historic square Largo da Oliveira. All historic attractions are within walking distance of the hotel. The staff could not have been more helpful in their efforts to make us comfortable, answer questions and assist personally with any issues which otherwise may have complicated our trip. It is likely that Ernesto will find you if you do not find him. Marinha and Jessica will welcome you upon arrival and remain at your service throughout your stay. The restaurant offers an excellent breakfast and Michelin starred service at lunch and dinner. Don’t miss coffee in the Anonymous Library (to your right from reception) and walk 2 minutes for pastry to Divina Grula a few doors down on Rua de Santa Maria. This beautiful boutique hotel was easily the highlight of our trip.

Simple pleasant older hotel in an excellent location

Reviewed By solotravellerCanada

A pleasant hotel with helpful and very gracious staff. It is very difficult to find this hotel, so once you get in the general area, ask a local for directions (the last 100 meters is the trickiest part). Some rooms can be noisy due to proximity to the elevators or the automatic entrance door. Ask for a room away from these problem locations. Very nice breakfast with extraordinarily courteous and professional wait-service. I would happily return.

Average, slightly expensive but ticks the boxes

Reviewed By foodieJ68

Good hotel about 8 minute walk from the center of town. Checkin was very professional. We had 2 rooms: a suite across 2 floors. It was clean although lacked a little natural light. The bed was comfortable however I could not see myself relaxing downstairs in the lounge area facing some cupboards and a fridge. Our other room was a comfort twin. The room was rather small and depressing but fine for our teenage sons. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Some of the restaurant staff where excellent, others seemed to have been brought in from the local farm. The room was cold and it was difficult to find a comfortable table in a warm spot away from a noisy a/c unit. Compared to other hotels this one feels a little over priced for what is on offer.
