Hotel Calatrava

This place had a lot of character – antique radio beside the bed, plumbing external in our private bath. The room was comfortable and clean and had endless hot water. While we enjoyed our balcony, we suggest you request the OTHER side of the hotel as the trains and highway tunnel make a lot of noise. The town is small so it is easy to walk under the train to the downtown area where most restaurants are.

This is nice modern hotel close to the centre and near a main road but very quite and comfortable. The owner is a really nice gentleman, with good English, who kindly held on to some things I left in the room which probably would have been thrown out on the day in another establishment. The room was big with a comfortable bed, good sized bathroom and good Wi-Fi. The hotel is only about 100metres from the funicular or steps up to the Santa Luz church on the hill above, which provides an awesome panoramic view of the district. A great base for exploring the Minho region

A nice hotel with old world charm. Well-maintained. The owner was very nice. My biggest complaints are that there was no fan or air-conditioner in the room. As a result I had to leave the terrace door open so the air didn't get stuffy but my room was facing the road coming off the bridge so the traffic sound was loud.
