A little bit of a mix up on my reservation, however, Pedro went above and beyond to help sort it out. The hotel is amazing!

This is a wonderful hotel in a historic building. The hotel has a beer garden and a pool, and is walking distance from many dining options. The staff was friendly and helpful. I wish we had more time there!

MAYRA, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The best customer service.

This is such a beautiful hotel but what made it so great was definitely the excellent customer service from Rui and the team.They went above and beyond and it really does make a difference. I stayed the next night at another hotel the next town over and it really wasn't the same at all. I highly recommend this hotel and a service it provided.
Jacinda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A friend and I stayed in Casa Melo Alvim for one night. It was right by the bus station, about a 2 min walk, and therefore super convenient to our needs. The front desk was super helpful and very welcoming. A gentleman with a ponytail hair style, served us. Unfortunately, we did not get his name on arrival or the following day when he was again super helpful, He went way beyond the norm to help us get to the bus station in a hurry as we had made a mistake with the departing time of the bus. He welcomed us to Casa Melo Alvim and invited us to regard the hotel as our home from home for our stay. We were very impressed by this individual who made our stay memorable and enjoyable. We cannot but recommend this hotel as a great stop in beautiful Viana do Castelo

6/10 Okay

The electricity was not working in the first room. We were upgraded to a bigger room but here the air conditioning was ineffective. It was at the time of year (mid-April) when the system needed changing from heating to cooling. This change had not yet been effected. The staff were helpful and offered us an electric fan. The curtains were hung badly - not what you expect in a 4* hotel. However, overall we enjoyed our stay.
Chris, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very spartan accomodations

The hotel is very well located on the main avenue in the historic center of the city. It is a very old building that was converted into a hotel preserving much of its original structure. The room I stayed in was spacious, but I cannot define it as comfortable. The bed mattress was hard. The room does not have air conditioning (which is common in Europe), so you have to leave the window open for the room to cool down. That normally is not a problem for us, but the noise and the traffic on the avenue make it difficult to rest unless you close the window, which we could not close until midnight. Breakfast is included and has a good variety, but it is served by only one employee, who did her best to diligently serve customers, but was not enough to serve all the needs. During our stay we got the impression that the hotel operates with the minimum staff. I can't say it was an unpleasant experience, but I don't think I will stay at this hotel again in the future.

Es gibt sehr große Nebengeräusche im Hotel. Das alte Haus lebt. Frühstück ist sehr gut. Die Zimmer sind alt mit leider kleinen Defekten die sich häufen. Kein Schlüssel für den Safe vorhanden, Türgriff im Bad fällt ab....
