아베니다 부티크 호텔(Avenida Boutique Hotel)

Hotel Avenida is a 4-star boutique hotel right on the Praca da Republica in the center of Viseu. The hotel staff was warm welcoming and helpful (happily taking our bags in the morning before check in so we could explore the city). English and some other languages are spoken if needed. The room was delighful; spotlessly clean and enormous (although I must note that we did get a deluxe double). The bed was clean and comfortable (if a bit on the firm side). The bathroom had a fantastic shower and a new modern tub big enough for a swim (ok, maybe not, but still very big!). In spite of being right in the center of town, the room was quiet and the electric shades worked perfectly. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, especially the fruit and pastries. The hot food selection was a bit sparse, but the selection was hot and kept stocked. We highly recommend this hotel fo visitors to Viseu.

Above our expectations. Lovely room. Excellent breakfast and helpful staff.

My husband and I had a fantastic one night stay here. The suite was spacious and clean. The AC worked perfectly. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The front desk staff was welcoming and helpful. I didn’t have any breakfast. My husband grabbed some grab etc, I think pretty standard but satisfied the need. Would highly recommend.

I spent four nights here and it was very comfortable. The people on reception were very friendly and helpful. My room was enormous! There was a good sized, comfortable double bed, a desk with a stool, plenty of wardrobe space and also an enormous bathroom. It took me a while to work out the bathroom had a door, it was one of those that slides, but I was in the room on my own, so not really an issue. The breakfasts at the hotel were nice, with the normal sort of breakfast items you find on the continent, but no cold milk for English people to put in their tea, or on their cereal, which was a bit weird. There is no bar area for sitting in the evenings, but there was a sort of lounge on floor 2 with sofas, where we spent one evening, and brought our own drinks from the shop next door. It is within easy reach of the old town though this is up a hill from the hotel.

Because we had to set off so early in the morning they did our breakfast for 6.30 in the morning

Reading older reviews it is clear that the hotel has been refurbished, and very tastefully. Staff at check-in was friendly and kind; if you are travelling route EN2 be sure to ask for your passport stamp. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and check-out was swift. Location is also excellent right in the center of Viseu, only downside is that parking is paid on the street. All in all a great choice, don't let the older reviews fool you.

Hotel bem cuidado, bem localizado. Staff simpático e atencioso. Bom pequeno-almoço. Quarto confortável. É pena não terem estacionamento privado e o pouco isolamento sonoro que os quartos têm em relação aos corredores e salas comuns…..
