Pluses and Minuses

Location was Great. Room comfortable but old and odd space. Although it had an elevator, we still had to deal with stairs to get to room. Halls were very dark with steps that can be hazardous. We will be returning to Guimaraes but arrange different accomodations.

Location was perfect but a little noisy at night with all the traffic but this comes with the location.
Room was comfortable and bedding as well . There was no air conditioning therefore closing the balcony doors to soundproof the room rendered it stuffy with no air circulation especially in the summer nights. The room has a temp control and fan controller but just for show.
The shower was with slight mildew and leaked out of door but very spacious. Overall room conditions not a 4 star . I have traveled extensively and this is really a 3star. Breakfast is below par.

Beautiful hotel

This hotel is definitely a place I would like to stay again. Everything about it was nice. The only difficulty I had was with unloading my bags from my rental car. I would recommend not turning up in a self driven car if possible because of the difficulty of stopping in front of the hotel and the general difficulty of parking in central Guimarāes. But aside from that, everything was top notch, the staff were very nice and helpful and the location was unbeatable.

Generally good, but with poorly lit stairways

The service was very good and quite helpful. The room was small and awkward. My main concern is that there were several places where lighting or other physical conditions probably wouldn't pass a US safety inspection e.g., a very poorly lit stairway down from the toilet above the breakfast room, a sensor light in a very dark hallway into the bedroom area that goes on just a bit after you take a step, and a long step from the reception area to the sidewalk in front of the hotel. Most such problems could be fixed.

In the heart of Gimaraes

The hotel is at Largo do Toural, the main squire of Gimaraes, close to everything in the town. The staff is very helpful. My room was very spacious with a modern bathroom although the sink was shallow and uncomfortable. It was inconvenient to work with my computer on the narrow shelf under the TV. The breakfast was good but the variety was definitely far away from what I expected from a 4 stars hotel.

Great central city location and tres chic

Formerly a bank this has become as cool boutique hotel. Rooms are very clean, crisp and hip. Breakfast is good.

The key issues are no parking at the hotel - loading and un loading spot is in a taxi stand.

Also street noise could bother some and if so ask for a room in the back. However the front rooms facing the street have nice bay windows that run floor to ceiling and allow for wonderful views over the square.

Great boutique hotel in the birthplace of Portugal

We stayed at the EMAJ Boutique Hotel in February. Originally, we planned to stay one day but decided to extend it another. The hotel is beautiful, their staff extremely helpful, and Guimaraes a great town. The hotel location is superb, overlooking one of the main squares, close to all the attractions.

Breakfast is good by European standards (pastries and coffee). Parking is limited to three reserved stalls on the street. WiFi had some trouble in the rooms but was great in the main area (was being fixed during our stay).

Overall, the experience was great and we would love to come back!

O hotel é muito bem localizado, perto de todo o centro histórico, tem um estacionamento perto, mas que é bem confuso, então, de preferência, faça um vídeo do caminho, desde a saída do carro até a rua, acredite, fará toda a diferença.
Depois do check in, a recepção fica praticamente sem ninguém, se precisar de algo, tem que tocar uma campainha. Achei que o hotel precisa de uma reforma meio urgente, o café da manhã tem um pouco de tudo, mas nada que você pense: ualllll.
Eu achei que ele é um bom hotel 3*, 4* jamais.
Os funcionários são muito simpáticos.

Hotel bem localizado no coração do centro histórico de Guimarães, porém, difícil de encontrá-lo visto que a placa de indicação do hotel passa despercebida, nem mesmo o taxista conseguiu encontrá-la. Quarto não era possível abrir as janelas, banheiro aberto sem nenhuma privacidade com o quarto, limpeza mediana. Corredores extremamente escuros, decoração um tanto quanto peculiar. Café da manhã fraco, pouca variedade e qualidade, frutas passadas, café descafeinado nunca disponível na máquina, 2 dos 3 dias em que fiquei hospedada o pote de nozes estava vazio, pães frios sem ter onde esquentá-los. Funcionários nada simpáticos. Não pode ser considerado um hotel 4 estrelas em nenhuma hipótese.

Horrible !!

Absolument pas digne d’un 4 étoiles, mais 3 étoiles. Petit déjeuner sans saveurs, mention au jus d’orange coupée à l’eau, ascenseur sans lumière !
Mais surtout, nous avons eu une coupure de climatisation, impossible de changer de chambre car c’était complet, ok ça arrive, mais ne PAS avoir de VENTILATEUR ??? Il faisait littéralement 30,6 degrés dans la chambre (vu sur leur tablette qui contrôlait toutes les climatisations avec températures de chaque chambre, et surtout AUCUNE EXCUSE du responsable ?! On a demandé plusieurs fois à le voir, on s’est dits qu’il ou elle sera là au check-out, pour s’excuser lui même. Car les excuses des employés comptent mais je voulais m’entretenir directement avec lui, en lui expliquant qu’il faudrait avoir des ventilateurs portables au cas où, car avoir 30,6 degrés dans les chambres et sans aucun vent pour rafraîchir c’est impossible. Nous n’avons pas dormi de la nuit, mais vraiment n’avoir aucun mot du responsable c’est honteux. Quel manque de respect !! Et par ailleurs aucun geste commercial. Nous avons payé pour 2 nuits dont 1 qui ne nous a servi à rien, et qui a même suivi à des tensions car aucun de nous deux avions dormis

Vraiment aucun respect pour le client, et même sans cette histoire, je vous laisse juger les photos !
Point positif unique, l’emplacement !
Par contre, dire aussi qu’il y a parking inclus, alors qu’il n’y a QU’UNE place ? Ils se sont crus dans Fortnite, faut faire top1 pour avoir sa place

Een ster te veel.

De ligging van dit hotel is z'n grootste troef: vlak aan het Toural plein en op een paar passen van het historische centrum. Door de geschiedenis van dit gebouw (een bank) is de indeling wat vreemd. Kamer op de eerste etage, maar na aankomst met de lift moet je terug trappen naar beneden (met 3 trolleys). Gammele schuifdeur om het toilet af te zonderen. Goede matras en kussens. De gratis parking die vermeld wordt blijkt 1 plaats naast het hotel te zijn, maar die is altijd bezet. Gelukkig is er de Camões parking op wandelafstand die slechts een paar euro per dag kost. Dit is een typisch 3-sterren hotel en zeker geen 4.
