This is a 2-star hotel, so expect the basics rather than extras. What it offers on paper: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a 24-hour front desk and family rooms. A continental and buffet breakfast is listed.
It makes most sense for people who want to walk to the old town and keep costs down. Skip it if you need a restaurant, spa or gym on site, since none of those appear in our data for this property.
Location and getting around
The address is Rua D. Joao I 36-44. The location score is 9.6, one of the strongest numbers on this page.
The Historic Centre of Guimarães is about 0.4 km away, roughly a 5-minute walk. The Castle of Guimarães is 0.9 km, around 11 minutes. Citânia de Briteiros is 9.6 km away, about 120 minutes on foot, so it is far and you will need public transport or a taxi. Walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take longer.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 1,857 reviews. That places it joint fourth among the 9 eligible properties in our sample, a solid result for a 2-star hotel.
Our data does not include a summary of specific likes or dislikes for this property. That means we cannot tell you what guests praise or criticise most. Read a selection of recent reviews, especially about noise, room size and breakfast, before you commit.

Hotel Toural, our Best Value pick, scored 9.0 with 4 stars at €61.05. Torel Royal Court, the Luxury pick, scored 9.6 with 5 stars at €121.80. The gap to Hotel Toural is small, so compare both for your dates before deciding.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Guimarães. Hotel Mestre de Avis took the Budget slot because it had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside.
A score of 8.8 across almost 1,900 reviews, plus a 9.6 location score, means you are not trading much quality for the lower price.
