Meh!
Property is dated and old. Typical Portuguese rudeness during front desk interactions, but not bad. Property states it has laundry facilities, not true. It also states it is wheelchair accessible, which is not true. There is no elevator and there are stairs to go anywhere in the property.

This a nice, clean hotel in a central but quiet area. Staff were fantastic. I only give it 4 stars, however, as there is no elevator above the first floor. The property clearly states this on its website but it's still a pain to drag luggage up the stairs. There's also no coffee in the room.

Able to park outside the hotel to unload our luggage, two options available for parking, both were approx 300 m, from hotel. Option 1 was free, totally safe, second option was 5€ p/day secured parking

A quiet, cozy, tasteful choice
Ideal location and quietness. Mestre de Avis is a modest hotel but feels more than a two-star hotel. The bedroom was spacious as well as the bathroom, both impeccably clean. The decoration of the bedroom is minimalist, smart, tasteful. The hotel is placed at the city center, but not by the bar square (5 minutes walk) which makes it a very quiet. I had breakfast at Clarinha (highly recommend Amores) or Camir ("Napoleão" for the afternoon tea) and have no opinion on their breakfast.

Good price and great location. The quality is what you would expect at the price. The walls seem to be thin as I could hear people in the next room using the bathroom.

Due to recent one way street changes in the area, GPS does not give accurate information. Hotel has asked for changes to GPS. Best found in the daylong got hours or ask for directions one you get close. GREAT LOCATION

Great Choice!
Great place to stay in town especially for the price! Easy walking distance to central district of town and all local sites. Staff extremely friendly and helpful! Morning breakfast which was included in price, nice, fresh, and filling. Rooms, clean, comfortable. Only two comments for improvement. Bolt down in room safes and provide directions in town to locate hotel. ALL GPS devices that we used did not help proper streets to use in getting to the hotel.

Great value, well located.
The hotel is very well located near the old town. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was well laid out, comfortable and quiet. A good deal for the money. Travelers should note that the rooms are on 3 floors and there is no elevator. There are two parking spots right in front - you can park in one overnight for 3 Euros, but I would advise to book your parking spot with the hotel ahead of time.

Ok hotel with small room.
Room was really small and only thing what you could see from the window was other building. Also breakfast was disappointing as there were not many choices. Stuff was friendly and location excellent.

Excelente opção no centro histórico de Guimarães
Bom hotel, bem no centro histórico de Guimarães. Equipe atenciosa e prestativa, hotel muito limpo e bem conservado. Apenas um detalhe a ser levado em conta: o prédio tem 3 andares e não possui elevador, então, se você tem problemas de locomoção ou para subir com suas malas pela escada, pode não ser uma boa opção.

bom
hotel muito bem localizado, ao lado da praça central de Guimarães, com vários restaurantes e café disponíveis. Recepcionistas atenciosas, mas algumas sem experiência . Faltou pães no café da manhã no dia 1 de janeiro pois esqueceram que o fornecedor não trabalhava neste dia. Banheiro pequeno e toalhas de banho TERRÍVEIS. Pequenas e velhas. café da manhã simples . Cama boa e tavesseiros ruins.
