Best Darque Hotels

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!

Had the room all to myself. It's a really modern property overlooking the sea /river. The breakfast was excellent as ever. Great stop off between Porto and Santiago de Compostela. Sadly only two trains per day!

Clearly the hotel has been recently renovated. Facilities are nice, simple, modern design. We stayed in a family room with bunks above the main bed which the kids loved. The pool is large with a beautiful lawn/lounger area next to the bar. The location is walking distance to the old town with a view over the bridge. Yes it is beside a fairly busy road but we didn't find it's problem. There is a limited amount of free parking in front of the hotel. Breakfast was a very nice buffet on the sixth floor. Service was friendly and welcoming. For the price we paid very good value. I don't understand why this is only a three Star hotel, presumably the lack of a restaurant. Definitely recommended.

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.

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.

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.

Hotel was lovely, staff very pleasant and kind. Outdated but very clean and roomy. Only issue was inflexible manager, which was not very pleasant with us. 4 floors, overlooking the marina. Has a small elevator to get your luggage upstairs. Very nice breakfast room.
