"The hotel has a nice ambience, friendly reception team and nice rooms. There is a nice bar which also has snacks. The bedrooms are comfortable and a great size - it’s outside of Tui so the receptionist had to be used to get one of only 3 taxis in the town."

"Good afternoon. While walking the Camino de Santiago, we stayed overnight at the Hotel Colón. The combination of a comfortable room, the warm welcome from the two receptionists, the precise and specific information about the city, and the generous, abundant, and delicious breakfast gives us the opportunity to congratulate the team. Greetings, The Four Canary Islanders, Antonio Arencibia"

"Parador is state owned luxury hotel converted from historic buildings. I booked this hotel because I was walking Camino de Santiago - Portuguese way. The hotel is right on the way. The hotel sits nicely along the Minho river. It is not near the church or supermarket but it is walkable. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. I must say the receptionist was very helpful and friendly, I think her name is Marie. She tried to help us with our luggage transfer. Really appreciate."

"Extremely clean and organized accommodation. Impeccably clean rooms. Patrícia and Ângelo are attentive and helpful hosts, always available. The location of the accommodation is equally charming. Situated amidst a stunning landscape, I was able to enjoy the incredible views outside. I recommend!"

"Stayed here for several nights and found the rooms adequate with a comfortable bed and place to sit. It is located just outside the old town and is an easy walk from both the bus and train station. It is also near a good supermarket and there are several restaurants nearby. Breakfast was adequate, although there was no plain yoghurt on the last day and the hot selection was not in Bain Marie's so went cold quickly (the bacon and scrambled eggs were nice). Rooms could be improved with a small fridge and kettle and I don't like this habit in Portugal of providing paper cups individually wrapped in plastic. It was good to see that they didn't provide bottled water (the tap water is perfectly fine to drink or, if you must, but your own). Staff were not overly friendly, especially the older male on reception. That said, would I stay there again, yes as it was good value for money (I booked direct, which is unusual for me) as the price was much better."

"Very pleasant, quiet, perfect space to rest from the challenges of day to day"

"- Hotel well located near the town to go by car, with free outdoor parking. - Breakfast is good and plentiful. - Be careful when you are leaving, because the pool may not be available or be under construction and the hotel does not warn you on its website. - The air conditioning does not work as such, since it is programmed to only come out hot or cold, that is, the client cannot set the temperature they want in their room. - At reception there is some unpleasant person to serve the public."

"The check in was smooth. The room was clean. The included breakfast was decent. I liked the specious living room."

"On arrival we discovered this pousada is a franchise and not fully part of the Pestana group. So, no Pestana points for a stay here. Hadn’t noticed that explained anywhere on the Pestana website. The location within the old fort is unbeatable with some rooms having views across the river to Tui in Spain. Our superior room with balcony was spacious and well decorated. Bed and bedding were both good. Bathroom was clean and spacious although it’s the only Pousada we’ve stayed at with a plastic shower curtain rather than glass screen. Also only soap, no body lotion or other toiletries provided, no bathrobes etc. Breakfast had considerably fewer options than other Pousadas and no staff regularly monitoring and topping up but there were very few staff and few guests. Reception and other staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is apparently in a transition phase so the bar and restaurant were also closed on some days. If these things are important to you, check before booking. Overall, the hotel seemed comparatively overpriced and very understaffed. Not a special stay"
