This hotel is a little gem. As the name would suggest chocolate plays a major role in both the design of the rooms and the offerings at breakfast time. The rooms are large and well appointed whilst the breakfast, with or without chocolate, will set you up for the day. There is a small museum about chocolate manufacturing on site as well. I’d be happy to stay here again.

Fit for a Queen!

The room was clean and the furnishing was very comfortable. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fit for a queen. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would most definitely stay in this hotel again when visiting Viana do Castelo.

Warm welcome (including welcome drink), excellent breakfast (although waitress could have been more pro-active). Nicely-appointed room.
No problems leaving luggage behind after check-out until train arrived.

I stayed in this fabulous chocolate hotel in early October when I was walking on the Camino way. After a 10 mile day of walking, it was wonderful to get there and berated with a wine spritzer with chocolate shavings, delicious chocolate bar, and a beautiful hotel. The breakfast was included and was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this place.

Nice hotel near city center and shopping

Hotel is one of the newer ones in the area. First time in any hotel that we had to use room key to keep air and lights on. We stayed one night and it seemed after awhile the a/c stopped cooling. We are not certain that’s normal. We woke up at 5am to cut thermostat down.

The staff is very helpful and all seemed to know English. Room was pretty clean. The only notable dirty area was the floor. That is probably harder to keep clean during a busy season. Only noticed floor due to a towel being dropped on it...

Overall pleased with our stay at this hotel.

True to its name, they have carried the Chocolate theme throughout, in surprising ways, including toiletries!
And you get free entry to the Chocolate museum in the basement of the original factory.

Decent Hotel.....but

I really liked the hotel, area & cute rooms even though the bathroom fan & ceiling in our first room had issues. I had a do not disturb sign on my door as I was only at the hotel for 1.5 nights and did not feel the need for intrusions or cleaning as I prefer to save resources and peoples time. I returned to find staff in my room who acknowledged the presence of a do not disturb sign on my door but they walked in anyway. The manager tried to tell me this was normal \"in Portugal and this hotel\". I had just stayed 2 other nights in Portugal. Do not disturb signs have been universally respected in every other country & hotel I have been in but this one. The manager was quite rude to me about it. The female receptionist who was working at the time laughed in our faces. It left extremely sour notes on an otherwise nice hotel & experience. The gentlemen who worked nights & helped with our late check in / early check out was incredibly kind & professional.

Lovely hotel with friendly helpful staff

Great hotel in a town well worth visiting. The hotel is fairly new and the rooms are fitted to a high standard. Breakfast is excellent and the restaurant is also good for lunch and dinner. The staff were really helpful and always very friendly. Although there is no parking at the hotel there is an underground car park a hundred meters away

It is a very funky hotel - love the themed rooms. The cleaning staff allowed my kids and I to see the rooms they were setting up. Very cool. The museum in the basement is a great use of space and the breakfast was one of the best on our trip.

The place is fabulous for everyone, my son wants to live there permanently, the staff is great, the restaurant is fantastic, hats off to the chef! The service in restaurant is good but to make it a 4+ star should be worked on and that is all the slightly negative we have. Really loved it, don't miss the museum very informative even if you think you know about chocolate there is something to learn

Our stay was great. The rooms are very nice, modern and spacious. Besides the room, breakfast, complimentary drink at the bar and a free visit to the Museum (very good) we were also given a goody bag of chocolates when we left. An amazing experience.

O café da manhã é excelente, com muitas opções e muito chocolate! O cheiro de chocolate do local é maravilhoso. Decoração muito bonita, hotel confortável e bem localizado. O museu do chocolate é focado em crianças, mas foi legal conhecê-lo. Todos os funcionários são muito atenciosos. Não tem estacionamento, mas há possibilidade de estacionar na rua, mas tem que tem ter sorte.

Fomos para um retiro católico na cidade e reservamos esse hotel para passarmos a noite. Mas não imaginávamos que iríamos ter uma experiência incrível no hotel. Parabéns pela equipa, pela iniciativa de reviver a história da cidade nessa fábrica de chocolate. Mais não digo para não estragar surpresas.

Hotel simpático e staff muito atencioso. Os quartos têm pequena dimensão e estão um pouco ultrapassados em termos de decoração, porém confortáveis. O museu do chocolate no piso inferior está deteriorado e desinteressante, precisa claramente de ser renovado.

Bom hotel no centro de Viana

A estadia correu bem, o quarto era adequado ao que pretendia e tinha uma varanda generosa. O pequeno almoço era bom, embora pessoalmente ache que o conceito gera algum desperdício (presumindo, obviamente, que os alimentos trazidos para as mesas e não consumidos não são reutilizados).

Das Hotel befindet sich direkt in der Stadt, ist aber dennoch ruhig. Die Aussicht ist daher natürlich nicht besonders schön. Die Zimmer sind sauber, aber auch schon etwas „verwohnt“. Der Empfang im Hotel mit einem Schokoladengetränk war toll. Die Lage für den Camino ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Hotel muito original, bem localizado. Funcionários muito simpáticos e competentes. Muito bom pequeno almoço. Conforto do quarto agradável, mas para o nosso gosto, o colchão era demasiado mole. Também fazia falta uma porta para o duche. Adoramos os mimos proporcionados, tal como a visita ao Museu do Chocolate. Globalmente, RECOMENDAMOS!

Por todo o Hotel se \"respira\" chocolate, tudo lembra chocolate, o mobiliário, decoração. Logo na recepção podemos provar chocolate. Oferecem bebida de chocolate.
