Absolutely amazing location. The staff were incredible, especially the breakfast team. Wonderful and efficient. Breakfast was enormous! Rooms are huge. I would definitely stay here again. Great value for money.

Rooms are a bit dated and furniture is a little run down. Parking is very tricky. They have a few spaces, however these were full when we arrived. We went inside to check in, and got a ticket in the few minutes we were away. There is no signage about where you need to pay, but there are inspectors stationed at every parking area who dart in and ticket you as soon as you walk away. There is a big parking station only a few minutes walk away. Park there, it's only a few euro per day.

Very good breakfast, friendly staff.

Outstanding Breakfast! Incredible and personable waiter/bartender. Our room looked onto Toural Square from which we saw a midnight parade and speech celebrating Portuguese Independence. Central location to the main attractions, we didn't have to walk far.

Hard place to find as the entry is not on Toural Square, but behind. The streets are very narrow with curbs that we had to "hop" to make a turn onto the next street. Guest parking on the street is limited. Bed was a little soft, but O.K.

A lovely comfortable hotel in a great position on the edge of the historic centre of guimaraes. The breakfast was first class and serving staff so efficient and accommodating. The hotel staff were very helpful and always very pleasant. I liked the central courtyard and the air conditioned room. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The bathroom was excellent. Having a fridge in the room was very useful. Hotel parking was also a big plus for us.

A kettle for tea making would be a good addition as would a room safe for valuables.

I had a wonderful experience staying in the hotel Toural. The overall sense of the historical building and the view of the square is pretty cool. The stuff was superb! The receptionist assisted us in applying for lost luggage, and the waiter in the breakfast area was super attentive! The continental breakfast was of high quality. Freshly squized juice, cakes, and omelette were welcomed compared to a low quality buffet. The room was spacious, and the mattress of high quality allowed a good night sleep.

I was looking for the entrance at the square as designated by Google. A sign indicating that it is at the back would be helpful.

The hotel was set in an older building but was very nicely done up inside. Bedrooms were big and comfortable. Location right in the centre of Guimarães was ideal for restaurants and sight seeing. The staff were exceptional - going above and beyond. Everyone was Helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great as well with lots of choices. Ideal for my mum with accessibility needs as property had lifts.

Parking was tricky but hotel staff weee really really helpful

Breakfast was excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful, especially the breakfast staff. The front desk staff were also very kind, cheerful and respectful. They were always ready to help.

Bathroom was not cleaned well, especially bidet when I got the room the first day. From second day, it was cleaned well. There was no bottled water in the room. The carpets had no padding. No chair or table to put the computer and work. Plug points were not conducive to charge the computers while working. If the intent is to just stay and enjoy (and not bring work), this place is excellent.

The house was once own by an important Portuguese writer and has stayed in the family since the XVII century and it still feels as a family home rather than a guest house. You will find a warm hostess, quietness and a beautiful night sky on a clear night.

It's a shame that the grounds need some maintenance and the gardens have not been restored to their former beauty. I imagine in the XXI century it is not cheap for a family to restore what three centuries ago was a wealthy family home. It has the charm a modern hotel can't provide though.

The location was great. but I had trouble locating the hotel entrance so was another hotel gust. I liked the breakfast with freshly cooked eggs and bakery. Unlike most other places, it was a served breakfast. The only down side is the window is blocked by another building next to it. Besides that, I would like to stay again next time.

My wife and I stayed in the Hotel Toural in Guimarães for one night during a holiday in Portugal. The hotel is located in the old city and a few minutes’ walk from all the main points of interest. Guimarães was our favourite city during our tour of northern Portugal. Our room was clean and comfortable with a separate seating area and a great view of the Toural square. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was very good. Recommended.

We struggled to find the entrance, even with our GPS but once found, the staff were very helpful finding a free parking space for our car in the adjacent street.
