Hotels near Giesteira Station, Guimarães

"We checked in and immediately was appalled at the smell our room had. A combination of BO and whatever chemical/cleaning solution they used to try to mask it. The AC was not working properly and opening windows did not help (street view room). By 8pm on the check-in day we asked the person at the front desk to check out and for a refund. They called the manager and agreed to it, however we were told to cancel through orbitz as we booked through the third party. When we created a ticket to ask for a refund, orbitz customer service said they need to confirm with the manager. After waiting 3 days we got an email saying the Hotel management could not be contacted and did not approve our refund. This is all addition to the ongoing renovations on the building while we were supposed to stay there AND the door locks not working. So the staff had to go and unlock every guests room each time you would come back to your room. I recognize that this is a small town, however, if in the hospitality business customers need to be considered a bit more. This place is out to make money even though their hotel and rooms are not suitable for hosting anyone. I do not recommend this "hotel" anyone staying in Santo Tirso."

" In a faceless suburb to us, but a wonderful upscale hotel."

"This hotel was a true gem. Our room was lovely. The staff was great. and the breakfast was outstanding. Everyone was cheerful and helpful. The only negative was the bathroom door should have opened out into the room because there was plenty of room to do so but when you opened it into the bathroom you couldn't open it all the way. Very easy to remedy. A lovely experience we truly enjoyed."

"fantastic place to stay"

"This was one of the very best places we stayed in the 6 weeks we spent in Italy and Portugal! The owner, Silvio, is such a kind and generous host, and he has created a uniquely beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed the pool and Jacuzzi, set in an incredibly lovely garden, and the stone house was just as charming. Silvio has done a beautiful job decorating, and does so many nice touches that add to the warmth and beauty of the property. This is a great place to stay, and we would love to come back!"

"Very clean accommodation. Lovely areas to sit. Very peaceful. Tranquil pool area and gardens."

"Lovely, fascinating setting, great food and wine and most importantly, wonderful people! Wish we were here longer… Douglas and Marie"

"Our stay at this hotel was great. The room was very clean and had what we needed. The staff were great, helpful and made our experience there amazingly good. We left with good memories and we'll return. I was informed that new facilities will be available next year. The only issue is the access to its location however if your Satnav is updated it becomes a minor problem. Thank you for the way you've welcomed us at Quinta do Passal. "
