Great location
This is a well positioned hotel, close to the railway station. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Usually when staying in an apartment there is the ability to make coffee and a free coffee sachet, but neither were available here, which was disappointing.

The best customer service.
This is such a beautiful hotel but what made it so great was definitely the excellent customer service from Rui and the team.They went above and beyond and it really does make a difference. I stayed the next night at another hotel the next town over and it really wasn't the same at all. I highly recommend this hotel and a service it provided.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The electricity was not working in the first room. We were upgraded to a bigger room but here the air conditioning was ineffective. It was at the time of year (mid-April) when the system needed changing from heating to cooling. This change had not yet been effected. The staff were helpful and offered us an electric fan. The curtains were hung badly - not what you expect in a 4* hotel. However, overall we enjoyed our stay.

A friend and I stayed in Casa Melo Alvim for one night. It was right by the bus station, about a 2 min walk, and therefore super convenient to our needs. The front desk was super helpful and very welcoming. A gentleman with a ponytail hair style, served us. Unfortunately, we did not get his name on arrival or the following day when he was again super helpful, He went way beyond the norm to help us get to the bus station in a hurry as we had made a mistake with the departing time of the bus. He welcomed us to Casa Melo Alvim and invited us to regard the hotel as our home from home for our stay. We were very impressed by this individual who made our stay memorable and enjoyable. We cannot but recommend this hotel as a great stop in beautiful Viana do Castelo

Very spartan accomodations
The hotel is very well located on the main avenue in the historic center of the city. It is a very old building that was converted into a hotel preserving much of its original structure. The room I stayed in was spacious, but I cannot define it as comfortable. The bed mattress was hard. The room does not have air conditioning (which is common in Europe), so you have to leave the window open for the room to cool down. That normally is not a problem for us, but the noise and the traffic on the avenue make it difficult to rest unless you close the window, which we could not close until midnight. Breakfast is included and has a good variety, but it is served by only one employee, who did her best to diligently serve customers, but was not enough to serve all the needs. During our stay we got the impression that the hotel operates with the minimum staff. I can't say it was an unpleasant experience, but I don't think I will stay at this hotel again in the future.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I booked one of the top tier accommodation in this “hotel” - the Prestige Apartment- for a comfortable and upscale 4 night stay and what a got was the opposite - an awful nightmare. The hotel has an amazing location in the city of Viana but the positives end here. My room was located in an adjacent building and it was a run down apartment as far as it can be from a “prestige apartment” with worn out tacky furniture and no internet service. I had to work remotely during my stay so I told the reception employee, Sr Rui Braga, about the internet issue and night after night I was unable to work because there was no internet at all in my room or very weak and inconsistent internet. So for the first 2 nights I ended sitting in the hotel lobby, that was empty like most rooms in the hotel, and worked until late using the WiFi available in that area. In the third night I was to tired to argue and request them to fix this issue that I just didn’t work and in the next morning, I decided to leave and spend my final night in another hotel that could provide decent internet service. I left early in the morning and no one was available to check me out, so I left my information and later got an email letting me know that I would have to pay for the last night (the fourth night) since my reservation was no refundable. What?! I didn’t leave because I wanted to, I left because the hotel is a dump that can’t even provide basic internet to guests. I had no choice.

Disliked: Cleanliness
La estancia en suite familiar es en un edificio anexo al principal. No habia calefacción, ni mantas adicionales. Para el sofá-cama del niño solo pusieron sábanas, por lo que hubo que taparlo con una cazadora. Muy mala limpieza, manchas en el suelo y polvo de muchos días acumulado en muebles y salientes de las paredes.
