This is our Best Value pick for Guimarães. It suits couples and city-breakers who want to walk everywhere, and families, since family rooms are listed. The property also lists a garden, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Skip it if you need guaranteed parking at the door or a restaurant on site. A restaurant is not listed in our data. And if you want the highest score in town, our Luxury pick rated 9.6.
Location and getting around
The address is Largo A L Carvalho, in what the listing calls the top-rated area of Guimarães. The location score is 9.8, the strongest figure on this page. Guests say it sits in the historic old town, near restaurants, bars and monuments.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. The Historic Centre of Guimarães is about 0.2 km away, roughly 3 minutes on foot. The Castle of Guimarães is 0.7 km, about 9 minutes. Citânia de Briteiros is a different case: 9.7 km, around 121 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on a car, public transport or a taxi for that trip.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 1,434 reviews. In the sample of 9 eligible hotels in Guimarães, it shared third place by score.
Guests like two things above all. The location in the old town, close to places to eat, drink and sightsee. And the staff, described as friendly, professional and warm. The main complaint is parking: there are only a few reserved spaces in front, and guests often end up using nearby public car parks.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price was €61.05 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. That figure matched the sample median of €61.05 exactly.
Hotel Mestre de Avis, our Budget pick, was €47.78 with an 8.8 score and 2 stars. Torel Royal Court, our Luxury pick, was €121.80 with a 9.6 score and 5 stars. This hotel sits between them: about €13 more per night than the Budget pick for two extra stars and a higher score, and roughly half the Luxury price. The listing mentions continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free breakfast options, but whether your rate includes breakfast is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Guimarães. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price; it does not simply reward the cheapest room. A 9.0 score from more than 1,400 reviews at a median price made this hotel the clear fit.
