Popular Viana do Castelo 4-star Hotels

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!

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.

The hotel is located high in the town. You can see the hotel at the bottom of the mountain. The drive there is very easy, and as soon as you enter the door, you can see Santuário do Sagrado Coração de Jesus. The scenery is very good and refreshing! However, our friend who was traveling with us stayed in a room with a lot of mosquitoes. At first, the receptionist said it was normal and then offered to change rooms. Apart from this one, the other rooms are okay.

This hotel is so beautifully restored and it’s in an ideal location, right next to the train station and the funicular to the hilltop Santa Luzia, in the heart of Viana do Castelo, yet quiet and peaceful. There are many lovely spaces to sit, chat, work, play games, in the common areas. There’s a pool and patio adjacent to the bar, which also serves as the breakfast room. Important for me, due to some mobility limitations: there’s an elevator. I stayed for five nights while my husband was walking the Portuguese Camino, and he took a rest day here and stayed two nights. Our room (202) was, I believe, a standard double room, but it was spacious and very comfortable. It was serviced daily and spotlessly clean, the bed was very comfortable, there was space to unpack and a desk to organize my things (one small drawback being the limited number of outlets, leading me to have to charge my phone next to the sink, risking it getting wet), there was a soaking tub!, and a seating area looked out the window with a view of Santa Luzia (as well as some construction and renovation or maintenance on the railroad station 😊). Some earlier reviewers disparaged the breakfast provided. Something must have changed if their reviews were accurate (maybe their feedback inspired improvement), because the amount and variety offered was considerable: a variety of breads and cereals, spreads, cheeses, deli meats, yogurt, fruit, hard boiled eggs, hot scrambled eggs, bacon, plus juice, coffee, and tea. Quite an appetizing colorful display! The best feature of this hotel though is the incredible staff! Everyone was gracious and always willing to help, with a smile. Daniela and Alberta were especially attentive and helpful to me, and Rui went way “above and beyond” in helping me get train tickets, arranging a massage for my pilgrim husband when he arrived, attending to special requests, giving excellent restaurant recommendations, etc. My heartfelt thanks for all the help so readily and graciously given. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

This was one of the best and most unique hotels we've ever visited. The location is perfect, there are tons of shops, restaurants, and bakeries, plus several historical sites and museums that are must-see. The hotel's chocolate museum is truly an incredible experience, especially in the education of the history of chocolate and the cocoa bean. And the chocolate products themselves are fantastic. We highly recommend this hotel if you are planing to visit this town.

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.

This charming and extremely well priced hotel is a 10 minute walk from the train station and a 5 minute walk from the main street in Viana do Castelo. The staff was lovely, the hotel charming. The room was spotless, and impeccably comfortable. The bathroom was also sparkling and everything functioned perfectly. Breakfast was lovely. The breakfast staff was cheerful and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We lived in this beautiful quiet holiday house in July. It is a newly renovated and very beautiful historic building. There is a modern kitchen with then HWR with washing machine. In the living room you can stylishly paint and in the sofa
