Service
9.2
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and attentive; reception procedures noted but overall service praised across multiple reviews.
Location
9.4
Frequent praise for beachfront location, amazing sea views and sunsets, and convenient walking distance to the old town; one mention of an industrial-feel immediate surroundings but overall location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms described as spacious with large balconies and good storage; however balconies, balcony furniture and some flooring are ageing or in need of repair, and one booking discrepancy (promised balcony) was reported.
Amenities
7.6
Breakfast buffet and indoor saltwater whirlpool received praise, but the hotel lacks its own leisure pool (partner gym pool with restrictions) and spa/gym facilities were described as worn/deteriorated, lowering the score.

Pros:

Очень большие номера, включая ванную комнату!

Cons:

В ресторане попалась не очень приветливая официантка, приборы были грязные, но возможно, это случайность…
Очень шумный тренер в фитнес зале на групповом занятие, очень было слышно.

Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Había contratado una habitación con balcón y el balcón no existía. Me dijeron que era culpa de booking, no me dieron ninguna opción de cambio ni ninguna explicación, les dio igual.
Instalaciones obsoletas, colchones precarios y todo con muy mal aspecto.

Gosto muito de Viana, é sempre bom voltar.
Pros:

Excelente localização. Salva-se também a simpatia das pessoas que lá trabalham.

Cons:

O hotel já teve melhores dias, muitas alcatifas que já não são opção, sobretudo no sul da Europa, ainda por cima alcatifas rotas e sujas. Mesmo os quartos, felizmente sem alcatifas, terão que ser arranjados

Pros:

From the beggining that we enter into this beautiful hotel, everything was perfect! The staff was veryr warm, welcoming, professional, a big "thank you" for the ladies from reception ! The room had a great view of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset from our private balcony was the highlight of the trip. The room itself was incredibly clean, spacious, and modern and the beach was just a few steps away. We had an amazing experience and cannot wait to return!
