Hotels With Bar in Viana do Castelo District, Portugal

I was looking for a room with privacy, a king size bed and a balcony. I had many options in mind but this hotel stood out for being beautiful and located in the middle of the nature. I called many times before booking the room to understand if the rooms with balcony were facing the swimming pool because some pictures showned rooms with balcony facing the pool in the ground floor, and I didn't want that because I'd loose the privacy. On the first call they told me that all the rooms were facing the mountains and that they had no rooms facing the swimming pool which left me confused. So I called 2 more times to be sure and on the third call the woman even joked about it because I was being so insisting about this issue and guaranteed me that I wouldn't be facing the pool, so I booked the ”Fine Art Duplo New Deluxe w/ balcony” room. When I arrived the Hotel I was very disappointed because my room was in the ground floor facing one of the sides of the swimming pool, the one closer to the bar. That means I had constantly more than 15 people which could see everything inside my room if I didn't close the blackout curtain. It also means that the employee which answered my phone calls deliberately lied to me in order to get the sale done, and it wasn't a misunderstanding since I'm a native Portuguese and we spoke the same language on 3 different phone calls in the same day. I went to the reception to demand for another room and get an explanation for this situation to what they simply appologized and said that it must have been a misunderstanding because all the ”Fine Art Duplo New Deluxe w/ balcony” rooms were in the ground floor facing the swimming pool so I would have the same problem in all of them. Then I asked for a room with no balcony, with privacy and a king size bed and they gave me a far inferior room in the first floor, where some people in the pool could also see inside the room, which had a horrible noise everytime the electricity was turned on, to the point where we had to turn the electricity off in order to sleep and because of that we couldn't even charge our cellphones and laptops. Beyond this, it also sounded pretty dangerous, I doubt it would pass any kind of inspection. Regarding this issue, we call the employees and neither they had an electrician nor they were able to call one. Because I paid 21€ more to get a room with balcony which I didn't get, because an employee lied deliberately to get another client and also because they gave us a room with mediocre staying and safety conditions I asked for a partial or total refund, which was entirely dennied. The Hotel as an amazing swimming pool and location, with trekking paths and birdwatching places nearby, an amazing river, a beautiful design, an ok breakfast (it wasn't good but it's not bad also), but I don't recommend at all because the service is very very poor, it was the worst experience I ever had in a hotel. It was a waste of money, vacations, time and patience.

Bien ubicado hay sitio para aparcar gratiutamente. Habitación amplia y bien equipada. Es todo nuevo. Hay café , infusiones, agua gratis en la planta baja 24h. Microondas y mesas para poder comer lo que tu llevas. Todo un acierto. Aceptan animales llevamos un perro pequeño se paga suplemento, eso si no me dieron ni cama ni bebedero.

Excellent accommodation, a friendly service and a primary buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In my rental car, which was very new, GPS was not located by Lovelhe, by Inatel Road, or by Inatel simply, which causes some difficulty to get there.

we had a very good experience here. we were 10 Ebikers on the way from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. This was the end of a long day. Very pretty location. I don't know why other's had bad experiences. Desk staff was good. They weren't the ritz, but they were helpful. Very helpful explanation how to store our Ebikes. Spa services that 2 of our group used and were very good. Huge pool. We did not avail ourselves of bar or restaurant; we walked into town. Room had a balcony and was very clean and well appointed.

Great location, service, care and attention both at reception and in the restaurant. Good organization so there is no inconvenience of lack of tables at breakfast. Excellent breakfast. Definitely an experience to be repeated and recommended.

We stayed in room 206 with simply stunning views of the Basilica de Santa Luzia, Viana do Castelo, and the ocean right from our balcony! It met, or possibly exceeded, the view from our hotel in Positano, Italy (which was gorgeous)! The hotel itself was charming and had a great outdoor patio where we relaxed and enjoyed a glass of wine before dinner. The service both at the front desk and in the dining room was very professional. Our dinner was good (not outstanding) and breakfast was very good including the coffee. If you wish to tour the town we recommend you consider taking the funicular near the Basilica which goes down the mountain into town. The Pousada kindly provided a map and good directions. The funicular was great and we enjoyed visiting the town too. Do note the funicular hours of operation.

Surprisingly great experience. The reception staff was wonderful and went beyond the call to help us when my husband got sick. True, the hotel is not located in a beautiful area, and didn't look like much from the outside - but WOW when you entered the expansive lobby you have a beautiful view of the sea. We are seniors, driving on our own, so were looking for a hotel that didn't involve negotiating the city streets, served breakfast and had free parking on site. It was raining hard when we arrived, so were pleased to know there is a restaurant there as well. It was a 4e Uber ride into the charming town center. Viana do Castelo is lovely. The hotel specializes in large groups (there were several well behaved young futbol teams there during our stay). The breakfast buffet was plentiful and diverse. We had a sea view room, with a balcony and two lounge chairs....if only the weather had been better!

The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre, the hotel is located in the heart of the city centre. They should celebrate events in the chapel that is spectacular in a unique environment

I stayed at Tempus Hotel for 3 nights. Things I liked the most about my stay are the following: 1. The location and the views (even though it’s quite far from Gerês national park) 2. Very fast and smooth check in 3. The balcony and the view 4. The patio (by the restaurant) 5. The dinner at the restaurant The room was decent & spacious, a bit worn out, but overall comfortable. The pool isn’t big, and it produced some noises in the filtering section. There are a few things that could be improved: 1. The breakfast was very limited, and it was not replenished unless requested. I would not recommend adding breakfast to the stay. 2. We picked this hotel hoping to enjoy some spa treatments. We even mentioned that prior to booking. Once we arrived we booked 2 massages, and only some time later they told us the masseuse was on holidays. It was very disappointing. 3. Overall service at the hotel isn’t really smooth. It felt that the hotel is in need of proper management. 4. The sauna could not get hot enough due to poor insulation. For my next visits, I would consider other places to stay.

All right, from the location of the hotel, through the exceptional breakfast quality as well as the sympathy of all the staff. However, I have to make a repair for the little space between the tables.

We stayed here over the weekend of L’Etape Portugal 2023 as we were riding in the event. It was the perfect base and we loved everything about the hotel. All of the staff made us feel so welcome and were so friendly. Particular mention must go to the Bike Center team, who accommodated all of our requirements for the race with the bike rentals, set-up and details. Nothing was a problem! This a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the beach, sports, weather and also to easily explore Viana do Castelo. We will be back!

Very well decorated and comfortable hotel. Hidden in the center of Viana do Castelo is a little surprise, a 4-star hotel with an industrial appearance in an apparently small building, but divided into 2 parts and very well decorated internally. Good quality rooms and very large bathrooms at the level of a 5-star hotel. Interior decoration with characteristics of an old building, but very well renovated and restored. Large bedroom TV. There is no coffee machine in the room and the black out wooden window does not completely block out the light. The breakfast room is pleasant, but the quality of the meal, perhaps because it was still low season and the hotel's occupancy did not seem high, there was a lack of several products. Still, it's not difficult to improve. It's worth starting to offer scrambled and/or other hot eggs, plus juice offerings including fresh orange juice. The lack of private parking is also a disadvantage, but there are several options nearby, including a public underground car park right in front of the hotel, which is open 24 hours a day. Walking a little, you can park for free. The quality/price of the hotel is very adjusted to what is available, equivalent in several aspects of room quality and comfort to what the Axis Viana Hotel offers but at a lower cost.

My partner and I recently enjoyed a delightful 3-night stay at Hotel Axis in Viana do Castelo. For us, a blend of convenience and tranquility was key, and this hotel nailed it with its location – just a quick 5-minute drive from the city center. The modern ambiance of the hotel, with its clean lines and straightforward furnishings, created a practical and comfortable setting. As a business traveler, the reliable and efficient staff made the entire experience seamless, from check-in to check-out. Our room provided a serene space with essential amenities and a charming city view, ideal for a restful night's sleep. The unexpected highlight was the well-equipped gym, perfect for maintaining our fitness routine together. In summary, Hotel Axis is an excellent choice for people seeking a blend of tranquility and modern comfort. Whether you're in Viana do Castelo for business or leisure, this hotel caters to both, offering a practical and comfortable escape.

This was a nice little boutique hotel right near the historic center. We were always greeted with a smile and treated kindly. I shared a room with my son and the twin beds were more than adequate. Bathroom is on the small side but it was fine for our needs. The hotel is a little older but the elevator worked great and the entire property was well kept and clean. My only caveat was there there was no outdoor seating area, you have to wear a swim cap and water shoes for the pool and the pool was indoors in a very hot room. The continental style breakfast buffet was good and provided lots of variety. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!

Our experience at this hotel was outstanding. After a long day's walk with backpacks on the Camino Portuguese, it was wonderful to be greeted by the hotel's reception staff with an invitation to take a bath and relax and then come back to the front desk with our passports to complete the check in. We were also invited to feel free to bring any hand washed laundry that we did to the front reception to be dried in the hotel's dryer and returned! The room was very attractive, roomy and comfortable. The breakfast had everything that we could possibly want and was available early, which was appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel.

Un hotel familiar perfecto para disfrutar de Viana do Castelo. Toda una experiencia sensorial. Preciosa habitación decorada hasta el mínimo detalle, ambientada y perfumada con olor a chocolate. Dividida en dos estancias,perfecta para familias. Detalle de bienvenida y amenidades de baño incluidas. Personal muy agradable. El desayuno exquisito servido con mucho gusto, delicioso y muy abundante y variado. Curiosa visita a la fábrica de chocolate incluida, muy didáctica para los niños. Muy recomendable.
