Carlos....Carlos...Carlos....a fabulous host!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Guimaraes. Staying at Dom Jose was perfect...location, access to the garden area in the back, breakfast in the morning and oh did I mention Carlos. He was incredibly helpful with information about the city, restaurants, etc. We did have two rooms...one had a very spacious bathroom, the other was more of a closet so ask for the room with the big bath!

We had an amazing stay at the hotel. The check-in and welcome from Adelaide who was very warm and hospitable. She was friendly and very professional which made the short stay extremely pleasant. The room and amenities were ideal, but a hot water kettle will be useful during the winter season. Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay.

Disliked: Amenities
It was a beautiful building and the staff seemed nice. The breakfast was very good. The rooms did not have phones, the doors locked with a key only. The staff was not there from 6 in the evening until 8 in the morning which felt very unsafe to me. The beds were hard and awful, the shower and bathroom was very small and water leaked all over from the shower.

Carlos was very helpful& gave us great restaurant recommendations& sights to see. The two rooms were great. Spotlessly Clean& we had room 1 ( the best) great new bathroom& beautiful ceilings. Room 2 had beautiful ceilings & much smaller bathroom so if your very tall ( my son 6 feet 7 inches) get bedroom 1 . Great beds & sheets. Breakfast wonderful. Beautiful gardens& a beautiful restored villa Location ideal& price is great. Guimares is a beautiful town & one of our favorite on our Portuguese trip. We would definitely stay again

I travel a lot yet seldom write reviews. So there must be a good reason to do this one. I am stingy so I am looking for value when booking a place. Re. this one, the owners conveniently forgot to mention that there is a COMMON bathroom for all the bedrooms on the floor (one bathroom for seven rooms on the floor where I stayed). Since toilets are within the same space as the showers, you can imagine what problems to expect.  Had I been clearly informed about common bathroom I would have never booked that place.Next the website of the place features as the first picture a beautiful historic palace which has no relevance to the place which is just a recent townhouse. If you think that you will stay in a charming building, you are wrong.If you come by own rental car, then you face impossibility of safely transferring your luggage to the guest house as one cannot stop the car on the three lane (in one direction) avenue along which the place is located. Even if you put it on sidewalk, it still can be hit by incoming traffic.Room is very Spartan and also serves as a storage for extra folding beds which do not fit in it. If you get one facing the street (city view) you will be exposed to noise all night.Bathroom is dilapidated with paint peeling off the walls. Naturally, nobody is making the bed or replacing your towel. Also, they kept bombarding me with messages prior to arrival—all in Portuguese.In sum, this is a youth hostel accommodation not worth even half the price they charge.
